Hungarian Archaeology Expedition in Nubia

A team of Hungarian archaeologists, headed by Egyptologist Gabor Lassanyi, will conduct excavations in Sudanese Nubia - an area on the river Nile conquered by ancient Egyptians - the Hungarian news agency MTI reports. Work will be conducted close to the Merowe Hamadab dam, a huge hydroelectricity project which will turn a 174-kilometre stretch of the Nile into a reservoir, causing the local population to relocate. The dam will generate electricity with a capacity of 1,250 megawatts, tripling the country’s electricity generation capacity.

[...]

Under a bilateral agreement the findings will be shared and the objects will be exhibited in Budapest’s Museum of Fine Arts.
