Synopsis
An introductory guide to the peoples, history, religions, and customs of Nubia, the ancient African kingdom on the Nile. In a series of simple, straightforward essays, appropriate for both children and adults, the book presents the main aspects of Nubian life - including art, writing, religion, daily activities, clothing, and cosmetics. With an extensive glossary and an afterword by cultural historian Edmund B. Gaither, the book is illustrated with over 50 full-color and black-and-white illustrations, showing everything from Nubian artifacts to huge sculptures of the ancient kings to one of the largest sarcophagi ever excavated.
