A striking photo, just arrived from our friend and restorer Ahmed Musa , showing Jebel Barkal and the Palace of Natakamani shrouded in sand.

Here are a few shots from the Museo del Vicino Oriente and the “Treasures of the Pharaohs” exhibition at Scuderie del Quirinale , whom we thank for their hospitality last week.
The visits took place at the conclusion of the Ancient Egyptian Civilization class ( Francesca Iannarilli Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici - Università Ca' Foscari Venezia ) and were part of the activities for the Erasmus+ students and colleagues ساره محمد مامون , Mohamed Al-Badri, mahjoub, Abrar Nasr .

The photo with our Jebel Barkal lion-logo has become a tradition💛

Yesterday our Erasmus+ students presented their research in Venice for the class "Introduction to Pharaonic Egypt" (F. Iannarilli), part of the Ancient Civilizations for the Contemporary World International Course (Università degli Studi di Milano - Università Ca' Foscari Venezia).

Rayan Jarelnabi is lecturer in archaeology at the University of Khartoum, and she is carrying out her PhD at the University of Venice on the human remains from the Meroitic Townsite of Kedurma (2nd century BC to 3rd century AD), Northern Sudan.

Abrar Nasr is currently completing her master’s thesis with the University of Khartoum and is particularly interested in the conservation and restoration of archaeological sites. She shared with us a case study of the Palace of Aspelta at Jebel Barkal.

Tre anni fa nella giornata di ieri, il 15 aprile 2023, scoppiava il conflitto in Sudan che, pur avendo scritto una delle pagine più buie della storia (non solo)africana, è rimasto spesso invisibile.
Negli anni scorsi abbiamo provato a parlarne organizzando convegni e giornate di studi sullo stato in cui versava il patrimonio culturale sudanese.
Oggi, dopo il silenzio di ieri in rispetto delle vittime umane e materiali di quell'orrore, è bello celebrare la, pur fioca, luce che questi ultimi tre anni hanno visto.
Proprio nel 2023 è stato approvato il progetto Erasmus+ che ha permesso a tre studentesse e due studiosi sudanesi di raggiungere l'Italia per un periodo da visiting presso il Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici - Università Ca' Foscari Venezia .
In questi anni complessi, la determinazione, la gentilezza e il sorriso di Sara, Rayan e Abrar dà speranza a tutti noi e forse a tutto il Sudan che il futuro di questo Paese possa essere migliore.
