Sacred places in the profane landscapes of Lower Nubia : a case study from the Czechoslovak concessions

Abstract

This chapter exlores two painted rock shelters in Lower Nubia where the content of the rock art and the location of the two sites on the political, cultural, ethnical and religious maps of the particular period carry interesting implications that far exceed the domain of rock art in itself and that cannot be obtained on the basis of any other type of archaeological evidence.
