War always has a high price, paid by people and their land. The land has no value without its secure human being. There is no value for a person without material or spiritual heritage that distinguishes him on the human map and strengthens his belonging to it, and to humanity. There is also no use in the legacy that is scattered by the fires of wars, which make many materials and spiritual heritages went with the wind. During the war, the normal human rhythm of life stops, in favor of another life\u2019s goals, with full of sorrows and pains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sudan has been suffering, for a long time, from the ravages of these wars, which flared up in different parts of its territories. The Nuba Mountains region had the largest share of those wars and security disturbances, which affected the pace of economic and human development, stability, and aspects of normal life. Of course, archeology and archaeological discoveries were among those affected greatly by these disturbances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuba Mountains<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Nuba Mountains are located in the southwestern parts of Sudan. It is the original home of the groups of Nuba tribes that the region is named after. It is mainly characterized by the phenomenon of isolated hills or mountain peaks, whose height sometimes reaches about (1280) meters. The region is also distinguished by its ethnic, linguistic, and topographical diversity, and it enjoys rich cultural components. It is still virgin land and is awaiting a careful archaeological investigation, which can be placed within the general cultural context of ancient Sudan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was very fortunate, during a fleeting visit I made to this region, in mid-December of the year 2019 AD, because it allowed me to stand close to the nature of the place, its topography, the manifestations of the traditions of the material culture, its diversity and harmony with the nature of the place, and its environmental and geographical characteristics. Among these features are isolated hills that sometimes contain interesting components such as ruins stone buildings, although they are hidden in the jungle of grass and shrubs. The rocky nature of the area made it possible to cut rocks and use them as a basic material in construction. As well as the remains of grain storage places known as sowiba (\u0627\u0644\u0633\u0648\u064a\u0628\u0629)<\/em>, and the heavy presence of milling tools, and so on.

With the advent of peace and the new political transformation in Sudan, it is hoped that the intensive archaeological activities will return to this forgotten part of Sudan, to find its fortune from organized archaeological exploration, study, restoration, and preservation for future generations. There is another human aspect of life that is absent. It is time for it to shine here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
