Ancient Nubia: New Discoveries in the Middle Nile Valley
Presented by: Royal Ontario Museum
Some of the world's most eminent Nubiologists will present the history of ancient Nubia
The civilization of ancient Nubia which flourished on both banks of the Nile between Aswan in Egypt and Khartoum in the Sudan has long been overshadowed by pharaonic Egypt. Yet, this far-away and inaccessible land has ruins of ancient temples, medieval churches and whole buried cities waiting to be discovered. In the last decade, archaeological investigations in Nubia received new impetus, partly as the result of the construction of dams along the Nile. Some of the world's most eminent Nubiologists will present the history of ancient Nubia and the latest archaeological discoveries.
