Before the waters of the dam swallowed up many archeological wonders, the University of Chicago joined other teams from around the world--including a team of German archeologists. One of their finds shows Nubians as brave individuals who may have lost in battle--but they tried.
One of the reliefs within the temple shows a Libyan captive begging for mercy, Syrians pleading wit the Egyptians for peace, and other groups in subservient positions--but the relief where the king is getting ready to smite a Nubian captive shows none of this: just a brave man ready to die for his nation.
As I explore the plates I received from the University of Alaska--along with the hieroglyphic translations from University of Chicago scholars--I will begin my exploration to what became of the Nubians after Egypt unified.
Stay tuned.
