Ancient Nubia: Egypt's Rival in Africa exhibition, Baltimore Museum of Art, January 31 – April 14, 1996
No full textThat nothing reflects a major gap in our education, for between 3,000 B.C. and the first centuries A.D., precisely the period of Egypt's greatness, Nubia was an important presence in the ancient world.
