Qasr Ibrim Highlights Nubia’s Place in Egypt’s Historical Identity

Qasr Ibrim, an archaeological site on a hilltop overlooking the Nile in Egypt, is the focus of Dr Salwa Kamel’s latest article on Egyptian temples in Nubia and Egyptian identity.

The article is the twelfth instalment in her series exploring the relationship between Nubia’s ancient heritage and the broader history of Egypt.

Its subject is an imposing fortress that has endured through time, preserving traces of the history and heritage of ancient civilisations.

Kamel’s focus on Qasr Ibrim places the surviving landmark within a wider discussion of Egyptian identity, drawing attention to Nubia’s archaeological legacy.
