Shipwrecks & Lost Worlds - Aniba: an ancient Nubian town beneath Lake Nasser

Shipwrecks & Lost Worlds · 0:40

Before it was submerged by the waters of Lake Nasser, the ancient town of Aniba was a vital center in Lower Nubia known as Miam. Human occupation dates back to around 3000 BC with the A-Group culture. Over centuries, Egyptians established a Middle Kingdom fortress, a temple to Horus, and expansive cemeteries. Recent tests of local ceramics shifted the chronology of many tombs to the Second Intermediate Period, while metalwork analyses revealed ancient copper and bronze originating from as far away as Cyprus.
