Marc Maillot, director of the French archaeological unit in Sudan, stands next to an ancient wall painting displayed at the National Museum of Sudan in Khartoum on September 19, 2019. A team of French diggers has restored three Sudanese artefacts, including a 3,500-year-old wall relief, and handed them to the African country's national museum, a French archaeologist said. For decades international archaeologists have worked extensively in Sudan, proving that the northeast African country has its own wealth of ancient relics and was not merely a satellite of neighbouring Egypt.
