Description
Reveals and discusses some of the important and distinctive aspects of Nubian culture. This study contains discussions on the psychology of death ceremonies, the nature of 'taboo,' and the importance of trance curing ceremonies.
First Sentence
It is perhaps indicative of the attitudes of our times that, with the building of the High Dam at Aswan, Egypt generated a worldwide movement to save the ancient monuments of Nubia, but stimulated practically no effort to document the culture of the living Nubians.
