Nubian Jar in the University of Missouri Art and Archaeology Collection

The threads below show the mistakes the University of Missouri Art and Archaeology Museum continues to make about Nubia.

The black topped jar in the exhibit is dated 3900 BCE to 3150 BCE. Egypt became Egypt at approximately 3200 BCE. The jar is created in the Nubian style--and even if dating is not an exact science the range of years in the date given in the exhibit makes it a Nubian piece--not Egyptian.

Its time for the museum to correct its error and show the real origination point of the black topped jar.
