LONDON—Sudan has given the British Museum 20 blocks from an ancient pyramid found during an archaeological project in the country, Bloomberg reports. The blocks, which were among 390 granite pieces the dig located near the Nile's Fourth Cataract, made up an early Kushite structure dating between the 8th and 5th centuries B.C. They also include examples of early art featuring camels, sheep, and cows.

"The work has transformed our view of the Middle Nile Valley in northern Sudan," said Derek Welsby, a British Museum curator who headed the excavations.
