Book Description
Aus Anlass des Ausscheidens von Prof. Dr. Steffen Wenig aus dem Universitatsdienst fand an der Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin im Oktober 1999 ein zweitagiges, international besetztes Symposium zum Thema Neue Feldforschungen im Sudan und in Eritrea statt. Die Publikation enthalt zehn Beitrage von Gelehrten aus sechs Landern.Es wird uber die monumentale Inschrift des Konigs Taharqa am Gebel Barkal berichtet (T. Kendall), C. Naser legt den letzten Teil der Berichte uber die Feldarbeiten der Meroe Joint Excavations in Meroe-Stadt vor (1992), und H.-U. Onasch beschreibt die Arbeiten in einer Keramikwerkstatt in der Grossen Anlage von Musawwarat es Sufra, deren Auffindung 1997 uberraschend war. Funf Ausgrabungsberichte, die vom Gebiet der Southern Red Hills, die Nubian Desert uber die Region Dinder bis nach Kerma reichen, stammen von sudanesischen Kollegen und einem italienischen Team.Ein Beitrag schildert die Arbeit der German Archaeological Mission to Eritrea (G.A.M.E.), die erste archaologische Unternehmung im Horn von Afrika durch deutsche Archaologen seit Enno Littmanns Deutscher Aksum-Expedition, die in den Jahren 1996-1997 stattfand und uberraschende Ergebnisse lieferte. Der Beitrag Symbiosis Man-Archaeology bietet einen konzeptionellen und methodischen Ansatz einer Archaologischen Entwicklungshilfe, der am Beispiel Qohaito/Eritrea exemplifiziert wird, aber mit Modifikationen auch anderswo anwendbar ist.

Book Description
This little-known story of biblical times is “one of those contingent moments in world history on which whole civilizations pivot” (The Globe and Mail, Toronto). At the turn of the eighth century BC, a mighty Assyrian army entered Judah and fought its way to the very gates of Jerusalem, poised, the prophet Isaiah warned, to “smash the city as easily as someone hurling a clay pot against the wall.” But the assault never came. Instead, the Assyrian army turned and fled, an event that has been called the Deliverance of Jerusalem. Whereas biblical accounts attribute the Assyrian retreat to divine intervention, this account offers an explanation that is miraculous in its own light: The siege was broken by the arrival of an army from Kushite Egypt—an army that is, made up of black Africans. These Kushites figured in historical texts, the author reveals, until the late nineteenth century—when racist scholars expunged them from the record, a process that coincided with the European conquest and colonization of Africa. The Kushite intervention assured the survival of the Hebrew people, and this book is a fresh and fascinating look at this chapter in biblical history and “a joy to read” (South Florida Sun-Sentinel).
