This review is from: Ancient Nubia: Egypt's Rival in Africa (Paperback)
This book, divided in two sections, was compiled during the course of the 1993 exhibition of the same name. It collectively portrays the fruits of knowledge of it. In the first part, the author introduces this fascinating civilization, by explaining its politics, religious beliefs, society, culture and history from the Bronze Age to the Napatan Meroitic Period. The second part contains more than 300 black and white pictures presented at the exhibition. This is a valuable work for those needing to learn more about Nubia.

This review is from: Ancient Nubia: Egypt's Rival in Africa (Paperback)
This work is dense with archeological information. It presents a linear perspective on a great and noble people that history has all but forgotten. The author presents his views on Nubian culture, politics, and religious practices that, if correct, are helpful in piecing together a picture of this ancient kingdom. I found it extremely helpful in gathering information to help write a work of fiction that takes place in Nubia,Princess Kandake: Warrior By Choice....Appointed to Rule
