Course Description
Did you know that the greatest number of ancient pyramids lie within the borders of Sudan and not Egypt? Although often overshadowed by ancient Egypt, the powerful Kingdom of Kush and its medieval Nubian successors created unique legacies in art, religion, technology and language that still impact the region of Nubia (northern Sudan) today. We’ll explore the ancient cultures of Nubia through their monuments and the surviving remains of their cities (Kerma, Napata, Meroë and Dongola). We’ll also study fascinating objects found at key archaeological sites and learn more about life in ancient Kushite and Nubian communities.
