Saï : recherches récentes et projet patrimonial à grande échelle

Résumé

Sai Island, like the whole of northern Nubia, was caught during Antiquity between the expansionist ambitions of Egypt and the will of the kingdoms of Kerma, then Napata and Meroe to remain independents. Therefore, its history and archaeology bear witness to a two-faceted past that archaeology slowly unveils through the excavations on its Egyptian city and a multitude of funerary Kushite sites. Often visited by early travelers, Sai became the first Franco-Sudanese archaeological project in 1954 and an important landmark for Nubian Studies. Now facing multiple threats, its heritage is the focus of large-scale protection program that should help bring its unique historical depth to a larger audience in Sudan and abroad.
