  • Kush in the Wider World During the Kerma Period

    Bruce Williams, Bruce Beyer WilliamsCHAPTEROxford Handbook of Ancient Nubia2021

    The culture that emerged at Kerma in the mid-3rd millennium bce rapidly spread as far north as the Second Cataract and to the south where upstream it affected the contemporary culture of the Fourth Cataract. By the time of the Egyptian 6th Dynasty, ca. 2400 bce, the northern area was united under one ruler. After Egypt took control of Lower Nubia from a brief dynasty who styled themselves as pharaohs, Kush was a rival, subject to repeated campaig…

  • The Napatan Neo-Kushite State 2

    Bruce Williams, Bruce Beyer WilliamsCHAPTEROxford Handbook of Ancient Nubia2021

    After Aspelta’s reign (ca. 600–580 bce), for almost two centuries, the Nubian situation was relatively stable. The northern states, first Saite, then Persian, offered little temptation for revanchist moves from Kush, nor did either have an interest in expanding southward. Near the end of the 5th century bce, there is a revival of records by Amannote-erike which continued for more than a century. While these record events in the life of a state un…

  • Nubia, a Brief Introduction

    Bruce Williams, Bruce Beyer Williams et al.CHAPTEROxford Handbook of Ancient Nubia2021

    Nubia has emerged as an independent field of study partly because of dam projects that flooded long reaches of the Nile valley and adjacent deserts.

This vast area incorporates many regions, peoples, and languages, notably Nubian and Eastern Desert Bedja. Historical…

  • The Napatan Neo-Kushite State 1

    Bruce Williams, Bruce Beyer WilliamsCHAPTEROxford Handbook of Ancient Nubia2021

    Egyptian authority in Nubia evaporated at the end of the 20th Dynasty. For three centuries to ca. 750 bce, little remains of occupation or social organization. Recent research has identified occupation, continuing New Kingdom sites, and sites of new groups. The inscription of a queen regnant, Katimala, shows persisting Egyptian institutions and their naturalization. By 750 bce, Kush consolidated and its ruler, Kashta, acquired the area of Thebes …

  • The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Nubia

    Geoff Emberling, Bruce Beyer WilliamsEDITORBOOKOxford Handbook of Ancient Nubia2021

    The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Nubia presents fifty-five studies by specialists in the archaeology and history of a large region in Africa, centered on the Middle Nile from Aswan to the confluence of the two Niles, extending from the Red Sea to the modern western borders of Sudan and Egypt. The volume is divided into three parts, the first dealing with the historiographical background and environment, the second, largest part tracing the careers …
