Description
Nubia Lost Civilizations
This revealing look at the rich and dynamic civilization of Nubia explores its religious, social, economic, and cultural histories from nomadic origins during the Stone Ages to its rise to power during the Napatan and Meroitic periods. The book concludes with recent struggles for diplomacy in North Sudan.
Situated among ancient superpowers such as Egypt, Aksum, and the Greco-Roman world, Nubia's connections shaped the region's history through colonialism and cultural entanglement. Sarah M. Schellinger presents the Nubians through their archaeological and textual remains, highlighting a rich and dynamic civilization in its own right.
