Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. Update from the archaeological excavation in Sudan. One of my photos have been chosen for the frontcover of the magazine this month! Pictured are the archaeological excavation at Jebel Barkal, a sandstone outcrop and UNESCO World Herritage site in northern Sudan. Jan Peeters et al. Examined 26 sediment cores from the Nile Valley to reconstruct 12.500 of climate history.
The cores revealed that the Nile followed a stable course when the ancient city of Napata flourished, between 1070 BCE and 350 CE. The river helped build fertile floodplains, supported longterm settlement, and contributed to the rise of a dynasty.

REVIEW: THE BOOK
"THE MIDDLE EAST - AN ODYSSEY"
By Lars Movin
…This book is an artistic triumph beyond the ordinary. ...The book’s images are from Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Sudan, Syria, and Turkey. It carries the scent of Eastern mystique – gold, frankincense, and myrrh – and Brahe plays along with that mythology to some extent. The mysterious and unfamiliar hum like a crisp poetry in the images: The breath of death blowing through the sandstorms of the mind, the soul-shaking abandonment, the red blood of slaughtered animals seeping into the endless sands. Footprints stretching into nothingness, bearing witness to a presence that once was, now evaporated beneath the merciless sun. It is all there.

By Anne Wehner
...The Danish photographer and archaeologist Henrik Brahe's book “Arch Hands” is a dazzlingly beautiful and well-deserved ode to all the hard-working people who work on archaeological excavations around the world. In the book, it is excavations in Egypt and Iraq that are
the focal points.
