The main mission of the project is to create a community of teachers, scholars, students, educators in museums and libraries, and others who want to learn and teach about Nubia as a significant ancient civilization, and to integrate this knowledge into the school curriculum, informal educational activities, and self- study programs.

The project also seeks to promote the use of new technologies in humanities education and contribute to the pool of culturally diverse educational materials accessible to all learners using these technologies.

Welcome to NubiaNet, an online resource for studying Nubia, an important African and world civilization. We hope that you will enjoy exploring Nubia's history and legacy as much as we have enjoyed the seven years we have spent working together.

The term "Nubia" is used broadly here as the name of an ethnic/culture area of the Nile Valley that extends from modern Khartoum, capital of the Sudan, northward to Aswan in Egypt. Centered in this area throughout ancient times, with its capitals in northern Sudan, was the great ancient civilization, called variously "Kush" and "Ethiopia." Like Egypt's more familiar civilization and those of the Ancient Near East, the origins of Nubian civilization, too, can be traced from about 4000 BC, over 6000 years ago.
