The Capital City 首都



The capital city of Sudan is Khartoum. Khartoum is positioned at the confluence of the White Nile and the Blue Nile. The meeting of the two rivers created three cities, each on its own bank. To the southeast lies Khartoum proper; to the west Omdurman; and the northeast Khartoum Bahri. Each of these cities has its own role in the history of Sudan, as well as symbolic landmarks to tell its own tale.

苏丹首都是喀土穆。喀土穆位于白尼罗河和青尼罗河的交汇处。这两条河的汇合创造了三座城市,每座城市都在河岸边,东南面是喀土穆市区,西面是乌姆杜尔曼,东北面是北喀土穆。这些城市在苏丹历史上都扮演自己的角色,也有象征性的地标来讲述自己的故事。

Metalworking is believed to have gone on in Meroë, possibly through bloomeries and blast furnaces, and Archibald Sayce reportedly referred to it as "the Birmingham of Africa", because of the perceived vast production and trade of iron.
