Nubia is a region 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, modern Sudan, contains 220 known pyramids, a record number. For reference, Egypt has 138.[2]
