Nubia's remote setting has not only lent it an air of mystery, but also isolated it from exploration. This book attempts to document some of the recent discovers about ancient Nubia, with its remarkable history, architecture, and culture. By doing so, the authors of the essays give us a picture of this rich, but unfamiliar, African legacy. Nubia Antiquities. BUEsh 9464 Nubia History. BUEsh 9465 Egypt Antiquities.
