Rebuilt in 1947, the current tomb is a copy of the original, which was built in honor of Mahdi less that five months after the fall of Khartoum. Mohammed Ahmed, also known as Mahdi, is seen as the first, "African anti-colonialist, a father of the nation who united the country under Islam and kicked out the Egyptians and British". The tomb is a silver dome and is very important to all Sudanese and a crucial pilar in the Islam culture. Non- Muslims are not allowed to enter the tomb it self. Source: Sudan, The Bradt Travel Guide
