Aswan Nubian home town

Before I went to Aswan, I only knew about the big dam. I still remember when I was in high school, the Aswan dam became one of the topics in world history lessons. After setting foot in Aswan, I realized that Aswan is apparently not just a matter of a dam. There is little less than the high school world history lessons about Aswan because the books do not mention the civilization of the Nubians, the tribe who inhabited Aswan thousands of years ago. In fact, Nubian civilization as old as Egypt civilization. The progress of their civilization can be seen from the archaeological sites they build. Unfortunately, many of the Nubian sites and their settlements were "drowned" by the Aswan dam construction
