Nubia and ‘vile’ Kush: Egypt’s Southern Neighbours
One of the most disconcerting remarks to read is that, because text evidence has not survived, prior to the Kingdom of Kush little is known about the early peoples in what is today northern Sudan. Yet from the early peoples to the ‘Black Pharaohs’ the inhabitants of Nubia and ‘vile’ Kush played a significant role in Egypt’s long history. Yet who were these people (or peoples)? Tumuli hint at indigenous beliefs, yet so much is derived from their northern neighbour. From Middle Kingdom military forts and spectacular pyramids, to the sacred site of Gebel Barkal, little-visited northern Sudan holds fascinating glimpses of life beyond Egypt’s southern border. Do join us as we explore together spectacular pyramids, this new course: Nubia and ‘vile’ Kush: Egypt’s Southern Neighbours. A warm welcome awaits.
