The Vanishing Evidence of Classical African Civilizations: Ancient Kush & Nubia under Threat
Fundraiser to support urgent field research in Sudan
The classical African civilizations of ancient Kush and Nubia are in jeopardy of being permanently flooded by a series of dams along the Nile River in northern and central 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.
