The amazing pieces on display told the story of an amazing culture, quite similar to that of Egypt (they shared many resources) but also told what made this region and series of kingdoms so unique. They didn't use mummies, but funeral beds. They had different gems and gods that they made statues and reliefs of.
The MFA hopes this exhibit will help highlight this culture and history that has often been lumped together with the history of Egypt. I know I learned loads.

Oh wow, Tamar, and I just learned something new as well. Thank you for sharing parts of this exhibit. I am now going to Google Nubia because I am very interested in learning more!

...lovely ancient art, perhap it would be better to have remained in the Sudanese Nile Valley and not have been raided.
Wonderful! I would enjoy seeing that
Very interesting!
So very interesting and wonderful. Very lovely. Thanks for sharing it and have a wonderful weekend.
How do you find all these interesting exhibits? Looks great!
Oh that sounds like a great field trip idea!
Hi Tamar,
Great pictures, I always assume Nubia was
part of Egypt. Thanks for setting that
thought straight. Have a great day!
Very interesting!
