Pharaon des deux Terres – l’épopée africaine des rois de Napata
The exhibition
Black Pharaohs matter
If the construction of Lake Nasser had not forced the great Egyptian temples of Nubia to be raised to higher ground, would we still remember the epic of the Black Pharaohs, who unified Kush with Egypt in the eighth century BC? Celebrating their ten years of French excavations in Sudan, the Louvre resurrects the splendor of the five great kings of Napata, from Piânkhy to Taharqa and Tanouétamani, in the shadow of Linant de Bellefonds, Verdi or Michel Ocelot. An excess of world.
