2012 American Publishers (PROSE) Awards winner for Best Archaeology
& Anthropology Book
For most of the modern world, ancient Nubia seems an unknown and
enigmatic land. Only a handful of archaeologists have studied its
history or unearthed the Nubian cities, temples, and cemeteries
that once dotted the landscape of southern Egypt and northern
Sudan. Nubia's remote setting in the midst of an inhospitable
desert, with access by river blocked by impassable rapids, has lent
it not only an air of mystery, but also isolated it from
exploration. Over the past century, particularly during this last
generation, scholars have begun to focus more attention on the
fascinating cultures of ancient Nubia, ironically prompted by the
construction of large dams that have flooded vast tracts of the
ancient land.
This book attempts to document some of what has recently been
discovered about ancient Nubia, with its remarkable history,
architecture, and culture, and thereby to give us a picture of this
rich, but unfamiliar, African legacy.
