Sudan is a French passion. Its archaeological remains, of timeless beauty, have fueled a fascination in France for more than two centuries. This is expressed through close cooperation, spearheaded since 1969 by the French section of the Sudanese Antiquities Directorate (SFDAS). With a preface by Nicolas Grimal, professor at the Collège de France and member of the Institute, the book retraces, alongside the history of Sudan, these fifty years of research, discoveries, preservation, and promotion of a precious heritage. Written by the best specialists and enriched with numerous maps, rare illustrations, and striking photographs by Claude Iverné, it presents the most edifying excavations. It is a compendium, and a travel diary as scholarly as it is enjoyable.
