520    For the past fifty years, Charles Bonnet has been 
       excavating sites in present-day Sudan and Egypt that point
       to the existence of a sophisticated ancient black African 
       civilization thriving alongside the Egyptians. In The 
       Black Kingdom of the Nile, he gathers the results of these
       excavations to reveal the distinctively indigenous culture
       of the black Nubian city of Kerma, the capital of the 
       Kingdom of Kush. This powerful and complex political state
       organized trade to the Mediterranean basin and built up a 
       military strong enough to resist Egyptian forces. Further 
       explorations at Dukki Gel, north of Kerma, reveal a major 
       Nubian fortified city of the mid-second millennium BCE 
       featuring complex round and oval structures. Bonnet also 
       found evidence of the revival of another powerful black 
       Nubian society, seven centuries after Egypt conquered Kush
       around 1500 BCE, when he unearthed seven life-size granite
       statues of black Pharaohs (ca. 744-656 BCE). Bonnet's 
       discoveries have shaken our understanding of the origins 
       and sophistication of early civilization in the heart of 
       black Africa. Until Bonnet began his work, no one knew the
       extent and power of the Nubian state or the existence of 
       the black pharaohs who presided successfully over their 
       lands. The political, military, and commercial 
       achievements revealed in these Nubian sites challenge our 
       long-held belief that the Egyptians were far more advanced
       than their southern neighbors and that black kingdoms were
       effectively vassal states. Charles Bonnet's discovery of 
       this lost black kingdom forces us to rewrite the early 
       history of the African continent.--|cProvided by
