Swiss archaeologist Charles Bonnet and his team have been excavating in northern Sudan since 1965. Their work has brought to light the importance of the Nubian civilization (that of the famous "Black Pharaohs") and of the site of Kerma, the first great African kingdom. After 40 years of work, they have made an exceptional discovery.
