Sudan 249 Nubian Pyramids T-Shirt featuring an embroidered design of Sudan's "249" calling code rising above a row of the ancient pyramids of Meroë, with aKushite ankh set into the flag bar below. The code also appears in Arabic-Indic numerals, ٢٤٩. Few people know that Sudan is home to more pyramids than Egypt - over 200 of them, raised by the kings and Kandaka queens of the Kingdom of Kush at Meroë. Steeper and narrower than their northern neighbours, these royal tombs are the monuments of a Nubian civilization that ruled the Nile for centuries, including the "Black Pharaohs" who once sat on Egypt's throne. The ankh, the ancient symbol of eternal life, ties the design back to that deep Kushite past. 249 is the international calling code for Sudan: the three digits that connect every Sudanese back home, wherever in the world they are. Rendered in the red, black, green, and white of the Sudanese flag — colors it shares with the flag of the Arab Revolt — and accented with the gold of Nubia, the ancient "land of gold", it wears the country's heritage and pride across generations. • 100% cotton • Sport Grey is 90% cotton, 10% polyester • Ash Grey is 99% cotton, 1% polyester • Heather colors are 50% cotton, 50% polyester • Fabric weight: 5.0–5.3 oz/yd² (170-180 g/m²) • Open-end yarn • Tubular fabric
