The relief of Gebel Sheikh Suleiman, or Jebel Sheikh Suleiman, is an ancient Egyptian relief generally dated to the late predynastic period of Egypt (Naqada III), or at the time of the first pharaohs circa 3000 BCE. More precisely, it has been proposed that it dates to pharaoh Djer or Djet, who was the third king of the First Dynasty, and who is known for his victorious expeditions to Nubia.
The relief comes from the Second Cataract, one of the most ancient frontiers in the history of mankind, in an area just south of Buhen. It is now kept in the National Museum of Sudan. The relief was transferred to the National Museum of Sudan in Khartoum in 1963, before the drowning of the area by the water of the Lake Nasser.
