Occupied by black populations, Sudan founded a perfectly organized civilization that stood up to Egypt and was able to maintain its originalities and traditions. The people thus came together to create a complex state with extraordinary architecture, still unknown today. Black pharaohs dominated Egypt for a century (from 700 to 600 BC). Charles Bonnet discovered their black granite sculptures, affirming the power of the sovereigns and proving that a force animated the inhabitants of Nubia.
Impressive monuments discovered during extensive excavations are also evidence of this boom. Research on archaeological sites is also a unique experience. This book aims to do justice to this civilization and this territory, which have been culturally neglected for too long. For despite the vicissitudes of a history spanning several millennia, the Nubians created a bridge between Central Africa and the Mediterranean basin.
While recent colonizations and slave trade have erased the past of certain African countries, it seems necessary to review our imagination.
