The Vanishing Evidence of Classical African Civilizations: Ancient Kush & Nubia under Threat

Fundraiser to support urgent field research in Sudan

Time is limited for Prof. Manu Ampim and his research team to document the remaining archaeological evidence before the flooding begins. The mission will require $50,000 to complete and help influence UNESCO to begin protection of the sites.
