dc.description.abstract | Sudan has a lengthy past that dates back to thousands of years before the birth of Christ. In the city of Merowe alone, there are more than 200 pyramids, more than there are in all of Egypt. There have been several experiments and initiatives aimed at digitizing Sudan’s cultural legacy, but the majority of them focused on folklore; little attempt has been made to preserve the physical cultural heritage. The paper discusses the status of Sudan’s historic sites and the outcomes of previous digital conservation efforts. It addresses these issues within the context of digital conservation trails of physical monuments using photogrammetry, highlighting the urgent problem posed by the nation’s on-going civil war and its impact on conservation trials. Utilizing photogrammetry scanning software Metashape, the sites of Old Dongola and Al-Khandag were selected for conservation trials. This approach enabled the creation of digital models of the monuments, ensuring their accessibility in the event of conflict or potential deterioration. | en |
