Exhibition runs until jan 2005 and apparently many of the exhibts are recent discoveries that have never been on display outside of Khartoum.
I would love to see the programme or the exhibit.

How far back into Sudan's history does the exhibit go?
Do they discuss Kush, pre Kerma, Ta Seti?

They exhibit is filled with pottery, jewlry, Information boards, maps and statues basically everything you would see at an Exhibit of Kmt you see here.
Statues of Kings, busts of Queens...stela, sphinx's and pictures of old forts, Pyramids and burial practices. In fact they had a small open burial pit with the skeleton of a man and a small ram buried beside him with some pottery also in the pit.
The timeline is from pre-historic times to the christian and muslim era in sudan. much of what is there is actually hard to distinguish from Kmtian....as we all know these two cultures were very close and all the dynastic era material there supports that. I didn't attend the accompanying lecture but there is a book store as part of the exhibit with the best collection of books on Sudan-Nubia and how african is egypt themed books that i have ever seen. I an going to go back just to buy 2 or 3 books i saw there.
It's a crime that they are going to flood this area.....today i really got a feel for Ta-Seti-Kush-Nubia that I never had before. The research on this area is way underdeveloped this nation was one of THE prominent nations in the world during their heyday without question.
We may only know a 10th of what is really out there waiting to be uncovered and researched in detail.
BTW....they had some west and south african cultural items and displays that were news to me.....weapons and Armour that i had never seen before on African Warriors....fantastic items one bladed weapon looked very much like the Klingon Batliff if any of you watch Star trek you know what I am talking about
Still working on the pics

Well of course, Africans have had rich history, even before any European realized the existence of the land mass now called Africa. It is upto Africans to work on highlighting these past developments, and believe me, there is much to be explored. No other peoples will be willing to tell it how it ought to be; that interest lies within Africans themselves.

great points.egypt built a dam and parts of lower nubia were flooded,in the 1960's.sudan and egypt i think plan to do it i again in lower nubia in egypt,but the nubian parts in the sudan for the most parts are safe except maybe northern nubia,but letters were coming in to stop those projects,at least for now.let's hope folks keep writing more letters to stop the non-sense.we could have learn more things faster if that first dam was not built and some nubians in egypt had to leave thier homes.

These are some good images
Did you know that the writing appears to be Kemetian (was this the official language of Kush, as well?); also the words in front of the cartouche of the Pharaoah "Tanweteamani" appear to be "Osiri" - "Nsuten" (King Osiris) in a place where you might normally see "Nsu" - "Biti", the king's "NsuBiti" name, so is this a new form of a king's title?...very interesting. I wish that alTakruri was still around, I'd like to see what he thinks about this. I'm gonna see if I still have his email address, so anyway;
Can we see all of the images, please, please?
PS: sure would like to get a better look at the king's name. I think I can see "Amon W_" ...

It is likely that 'Nubia' (Geographic term) and Kmt are one and the same. The term was coined so that Kmt can remain White, while 'Nubia' is the Black counterpart. If 'Nubia' ends up being many times more impressive, then the EuroNuts will end up claiming that this civilization was Caucasian.

You mentioned something earlier about the West and South African cultural items...do you have any images of those?
Nevermind, it looks like you beat me to it!
