Preface: As co-directors of the Jebel Barkal Archaeological Mission of NCAM (the National Corporation of Antiquities and Museums of Sudan), we are pleased to be able to present this Guidebook as a summary of the results of our team’s discoveries in the Amun sanctuary there, made between 1986 and 2016. Until our final publication is completed (anticipated 2024/25), this booklet can provide for English readers an introduction to the site and its monuments and a summary of our latest views on the site’s evolution, its religious meaning, and its impact on the ancient political history of the Nile Valley.
