Description

Nubia: Ancient Kingdoms of Africa is the accompanying catalogue for an exhibition at New York University’s Institute for the Study of the Ancient World that explores the wealthy cultures of ancient Nubia in present-day southern Egypt and northern Sudan. The exhibition traces the upward push, fall, and re-emergence of Nubian power over the course of a few 2,500 years, from the earliest Nubian kingdoms of about 3000 BC throughout the conquest of Egypt beginning in about 750 BC. Beautifully illustrated, the catalogue features a historical overview of Nubia and its excavations by Guest Curator Geoff Emberling; a series of archival excavation photos from one among Nubia’s so much prodigious excavators, George A. Reisner; a tick list of objects from the exhibition; and a selected bibliography for further study of those wealthy but little understood African kingdoms.
