Annotation: | The Duweym Wad Haj site is located on the left bank of the Nile River, opposite the UNESCO site of Gebel
Barkal, the southern residence of the Ancient Egyptian god Amun. Based on surveys, an ancient temple is
expected to be discovered under the old mosque at the Duweym site. The occurrence of temples on the left bank
of the Nile River proves also the Sanam site. The project is based on an interdisciplinary co-operation between
humanities and natural sciences and on modern excavation and documentation methods. An emphasis is also
placed on conservation of cultural heritage. The project consists of three main parts: (1) archaeological
interdisciplinary research in the Sudan, (2) scientific research in Slovakia, and (3) popularization. The main
objectives of the project include gaining new knowledge of the site through basic research, confirming the
presence of the temple architecture, the 3D documenting of architecture, and exploring the construction and
settlement history in the context of sacral architecture in space and the surroundings. The fulfilment of the project
objectives is real due to previous experience, the professional interdisciplinary team and the background in
Sudan. |
