Two eyes full of light sent on July 08, 2016 (11:49) by Annamaria Pertosa. 89 comments, 4287 views.

at 55mm, 1/60 f/5.6, ISO 400, hand held. Assuan, Egypt.

E' una bimba nubiana che ho incontrato in uno dei miei tanti viaggi in Egitto. Mi ha colpito particolarmente, e, spesso torno a guardare quei suoi occhioni pieni di luce che, conservano tracce e bagliori dell'antica fierezza del suo popolo. E a questo proposito, ecco un breve stralcio storico. La Nubia è una regione dell'Africa che comprende parte dell'Egitto meridionale. I suoi abitanti, chiamati "Kushiti" nell'antichità, hanno conservato una forte identità storica, nonostante i nubiani dei villaggi intorno ad Assuan, abbiano assunto una connotazione fortemente commerciale nel turismo. La zona abitata dai nubiani si puo' individuare in quell'area della Valle del Nilo che va dalla 1a alle 6a cataratta del fiume. Di questa civiltà antichissima rimangono oggi numerose testimonianze archeologiche, ma molte sono andate perdute con la costruzione della diga di Assuan, che ha spazzato via anche un buon numero di villaggi nubiani. Il popolo nubiano è anche uno dei più ospitali del paese e le loro caratteristiche case tradizionali in argilla intonacata e dipinta e le loro bellissime porte decorate, sono oggi aperte ai visitatori di passaggio, senza alcun pregiudizio. All'altezza della 3a cataratta, si trovano i villaggi tra i più caratteristici, oltre a interessanti siti archeologici dell'epoca più antica kushita, quando la capitale era Kerma e le costruzioni tipicamente kushite erano le deffufas. Testimonianze straordinarie, dell'epoca successiva, in cui la Nubia era governata da un vice-faraone egiziano, sono il Tempio di Sesibi, quello di Sadenga e il Tempio di Soleb, quello che ha resistito meglio alle ingiurie del tempo. Una sosta merita il piccolo villaggio di Tombus, con gli esempi più belli e colorati di antiche porte nubiane, una grande statua scolpita nel granito locale durante il periodo egiziano e la stele di Tutmotse III, che celebra la famosa vittoria dell'Egitto sui re Kushiti. Critiche e commenti sempre super graditi. Grazie.
