...color was consciously applied, the stone is one of the earliest indications of artistic expression ever found. Sandstone lions from the mid-1st century B.C. symbolize the Kushite state, and a gilded representation of a Kushite King is the largest copper-alloy statue yet found in Sudan. The Nubian settlement of Kerma was home to the earliest major urban centers in sub-Saharan Africa and produced, says curator Derek A. Welsby, "superb pottery, among the best ever made." Beakers dating from around 1750 B.C. have a distinctly contemporary look. A 19th century helmet represents the Otto- man era in Sudan...
...official” mix debut, Minesweeper Suite, verges on the epic. Mahmoud Fadl’s Nubian drums ignite the stereo but it’s Donna Summer who graces the final minutes. Impeccably mixed, rhythms mutate fluidly, as opposed to Gold Teeth Thief’s spastic collisions. Sparse French dancehall blossoms into jump-up jungle from DJ Rush Puppy; Bubba’s frantic “Ugly” glides into a head-nodding Akrobatik beat that gets swallowed whole by the industrial grind of /rupture’s Nettle alias; Mutamassik’s shuffling...

(And while the Nubian slaves are mostly African Americans, the Egyptians seem to have acquired a blond gene.) Those Disney magicians have even found a way to retain the opera's tragic ending and still have everyone live happily ever after...
...things considered, the donation room seemed clean and surprisingly bland, save for the high-brow, black-and-white French photo of a naked Nubian gal. But, of course, the room had a function--that of an ultra-efficient, semen tapping arousal cubicle. Thus, the quintessential stack of Penthouse. Unfortunately, it seems the bank has been having problems with people purloining their porn mags. The laminated cover of the Penthouse explicitly states that it belongs to the Cryobank and none other than the Cryobank. The bank has even taken matters into its own hands, posting threatening notices on the walls...
