Though the region is well-known as a source of gold for ancient Egyptians, the contributions of the Nubians to Egypt’s military, politics, religion, and culture are often overlooked. Explore the archaeology, art, religion, language, and cultures of Nubia including the tradition of powerful royal women, the origins of Egypt’s 25th Dynasty, and the importance of animals in Nubian culture.
