Ancient Nubia

The University of Chicago's Oriental Institute has opened a new exhibition on ancient Nubia. (Not redundant -- there were approximately eight distinct historical epochs for the region, starting with what archaeologists call the A-Group and leading up through a Christianized period that lasted from circa AD 550-1400.)
