Description: Head of the Nubian Pharoah Shabatka. Aswan's Nubian museum opened in 1997 and houses an extensive collection of sculptures and artefacts from across the former land of Nubia immediately south of Aswan which was flooded in the 1960s following construction of the High Dam (most of ancient Nubia now lies beneath the waters of Lake Nasser). The Museum is a more worthy replacement for the old Aswan Museum and enhances the city one of the newest and most rewarding museums in Egypt. www.sca-egypt.org/eng/MUS_NubiaMuseum.htm
