International Kurru Archaeological Project Inc.

El Kurru is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Gebel Barkal and the Sites of the Napatan Region. It was the burial place and royal city of many of the earliest Napatan Kings and Queens, including a number of the 25th Dynasty Kings who conquered and ruled Egypt. The excavation aims to investigate the archaeological remains of the royal city and cemetery areas in their broader landscape context, and to undertake necessary conservation work. A further step is to make the site ready for presentation to the public.
