The Citadel of Buhen was built on the west of the Nile spread over 150 meters. Buhen Fortress had a mixture of interesting features, including “moats carved three meters deep into bedrock, revetments, drawbridges, bastions, buttresses, ramparts, battlements, embrasures, loopholes, and catapult stations” (Craig, Alan Sherman, William R.Will, Jeffrey D., 2009, Introduction Section, p.227, para.1). The citadel was built along the Nile, and each built was near enough to be seen by a human eye.
