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 publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Excavations (Archaeology)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85046105|zNubia.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n81103291-781 650 0 Archaeology and history|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85006513|zNile River Valley.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh95009081-781 650 7 Excavations (Archaeology)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/917564 650 7 Archaeology and history.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/813004 650 7 HISTORY|zAfrica|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 Antiquities.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/810745 650 7 HISTORY|xAncient|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE / Archaeology.|2bisacsh 651 0 Kerma (Extinct city)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2018002537 651 0 Nubia|xAntiquities.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85092935 651 0 Nubia|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81103291 |xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99005024 651 0 Nile River Valley|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh95009081|xAntiquities.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99002344 651 7 Nile River Valley.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1274166 651 7 Sudan|zKerma (Extinct city)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/2003693 651 7 Africa|zNubia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1215273 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 Gates, Henry Louis,|cJr.,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n81146304|ewriter of foreword. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aBonnet, Charles, 1933-|tBlack kingdom of the Nile.|dCambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, 2019|z9780674986671|w(DLC) 2018040574 |w(OCoLC)1057731987 830 0 Nathan I.
