A Submerged Tomb At Nuri
The two archaeologists were exploring a tomb lying at Nuri, a site that spans almost 200 acres of land. It is pretty close to the east bank of the River Nile. This meant that it was located north of Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. The area is probably best known for the 20 pyramids or so that it houses. All of them were constructed sometime between 650 B.C. and 300 B.C.

Where The Water Came From
Nastase’s pyramid had a base that measures 100 square feet. It rests on a tiny area on level ground. Even though the tomb lies a mile away from the river, it has since become prone to groundwater flooding over time. This is the reason the three chambers of the final resting place are all submerged. After all, they were all sliced into the rock below the desert sands.
