Abstract
THE objects of the archæological survey of Nubia which has been undertaken by the Government of Egypt are, first, to ascertain the extent and value of the historical material buried under the soil; secondly, to make this material available for the reconstruction of the early history of that country and of its relations with the Nile valley. There is reason to believe that in the pre-dynastic period Lower Nubia formed with Egypt a single region of culture, and possibly a single ethnological district. Later on the northern lands developed more rapidly, and Nubia failed to keep pace with Egypt. At any rate, when the Egyptians pushed southwards under the twelfth dynasty, some of the products of Nubian civilisation are found closely to resemble, in technique and material, products of the pre-dynastic age common to both countries. The present survey aims at reconstructing the culture development of some fifteen centuries of Nubian civilisation which at present are a blank.
