From a Different Angle: Nubians Living in Ancient Egypt
The long-lasting and dynamic relationship between ancient Egypt and Nubia had a profound influence on the history of both regions. The movement of people, goods, and ideas shaped the wider political and economic spheres, but also had a direct impact on the lived experience of Egyptian and Nubian individuals. The nature and effects of such interaction have been particularly well-studied in and around the fortresses and towns built by Egyptians in Lower and Upper Nubia. Yet, it is often forgotten that Nubians also traveled, settled and interacted with Egyptians north of the First Cataract. Although sometimes harder to detect, there is ample evidence that Nubian individuals left their mark on the Egyptian landscape.
Join Emilie Sarrazin, PhD Candidate in Egyptian archaeology, as she explores the archaeological, iconographical and textual evidence informing us about the Nubian population living in ancient Egypt at different moments throughout its history.
