The Nubian Monuments are a collection of ancient archaeological sites located in southern Egypt and northern Sudan. These monuments, which include temples and tombs, date back to the time of the Nubian Kingdoms, particularly the Kushite Dynasty. They showcase remarkable architectural achievements and are significant for understanding the history and culture of the Nubian people. In 1979, the Nubian Monuments were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to their historical importance and unique artistry. Key sites include the temples of Abu Simbel and the temple of Philae, which reflect the influence of both Egyptian and Nubian civilizations.
