A view over Dadaab refugee settlement, among the world's largest. It was established in 1991 when refugees fleeing the civil war in Somalia started to cross the border into Kenya and currently provides shelter to about 220,000 people, according to the United Nations Refugee Agency, UNHCR.

Helmets worn by Creasman and Schneider lay out to dry in the hot sun after a day of scuba diving in royal burial sites.

Discoveries in the flooded necropolis include shabtis, funerary figures intended to serve the king in the afterlife.

Creasman and dive master Justin Schneider scuba dive to explore burial chambers at Nuri, now submerged as a result of modern climate change, agricultural activity, and the construction of dams.

Archaeologist Gretchen Emma Zoeller excavates a burial site of an adult female in Nuri, an ancient necropolis that spans more than 170 acres of desert near the east bank of the Nile River in northern Sudan.

Workers clear rubble off the 2,300-year-old pyramid that marks the tomb of Nastasen, who ruled Kush for roughly two decades and was the last king buried at the Nuri site.

Creasman uses innovative underwater archaeology techniques to save parts of Nuri’s history that otherwise would have been lost once Nile waters submerged parts of the necropolis.

The sun breaks the horizon across a view of the Nuri royal cemetery. Its most commanding feature is an arc of some 20 pyramids that appear strung together like gems on a necklace.
