Supported by the National Geographic Society, excavations of Nastasen’s pyramid represent the first attempt to conduct underwater archaeology in Sudan. Like Bird, P.C.s solos have become classics to learn and cherish.
Two-thirds of this book is devoted to Blues and Rhythm Changes. Paul Chambers solos epitomize Be-bop on the bass. This presentation discusses the 20 fieldwork to excavate the underwater burial of the last Nubian king interred at Nuri: Nastasen. The Music of Paul Chambers is a collection of transcribed bass solos from classic recordings by Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Red Garland, Lee Morgan, Sonny Rollins, Jackie McClean, et. Today, at least four kings’ burial chambers remain unexcavated and underwater. As a result of climate change, intensive agriculture nearby, and the construction of dams along the Nile, rising groundwater has submerged many of Nuri’s tombs, likely including all of the subterranean pyramid chambers of the kings. While Nuri was partly excavated in the 1910s, it remains poorly published and largely unexplored. His descendants used the site for four more centuries and copied his pyramid/tomb plan. The first royal so buried was the biblical pharaoh Taharqa (protector of Jerusalem, per 2 Kings 19:9), whose tomb was cut into the bedrock 30 feet below his pyramid. With more than 20 extant pyramids, Nuri is the largest royal Nubian cemetery and it served as the resting place for at least 60 kings and queens from 700-300 BCE. In 2018, a new archaeological mission was initiated at Nuri. The pyramids, royal cemetery, and necropoles at “Nuri” comprise more than 7,500,000 square feet of Napata, and are a virtually unstudied and unexplored. The Nubian kings originated from “Napata,” a little-known UNESCO World Heritage Site in modern Sudan.
After ancient Egypt’s famed New Kingdom ended, kings from Nubia unified the lands of the Nile and led the empire out of the doldrums to its last flourish of pharaonic greatness.
