The pyramids of Meroe have inspired generations of travelers, but the Sudan of which they are the emblem remains largely unknown. Hence this encyclopedic work, the first synthesis of the brilliant civilizations that succeeded one another there, from prehistory to the conquest of Mehemet Ali in 1820.
With a preface by Nicolas Grimal, professor at the Collège de France, member of the Institute (Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres) and secretary general of the advisory commission for French excavations abroad at the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, this work is part of the "Egyptology Studies" collection that he directs. Recognized specialists report on the most recent scientific discoveries; this book is nonetheless easy to access thanks to the clarity of the contributions and the abundance of iconography.
