Nubia is a region situated along the Nile river encompassing the area between the first cataract of the Nile south of Aswan, Egypt, and Al Dabbah.
History[]
From 1858 onwards, then director of the Antiquities Service Auguste Mariette, carried out his work across Egypt and into Nubia, intervening on almost every major site.[1]
Today, the area of ancient Nubia, in modern day Sudan, contains 220 known pyramids, which is a record number. For reference, Egypt has only 138.[2]
