Modern Nubiology was born in the early 1960s, when an international salvage campaign was launched by UNESCO to save the monuments of Lower Nubia being flooded by the construction of the Aswan High Dam and the creation of Lake Nasser. This campaign brought together scholars from over 25 countries from around the world and revealed the richness and cultural diversity of Nubian civilisation.
This page hosts the personal and project blogs of members of the International Society for Nubian Studies. Here you can find the latest results of research conducted in the Middle Nile Valley.
