We are joined by Dr. Elizabeth Eltze to discuss the reign of Amannote-erike, ancient King of Kush. Elizabeth is an early career researcher in ancient northeast African studies – primarily Nubiology. Originally from South Africa, she moved to Auckland, New Zealand some years ago, and completed her studies in Ancient History at the University of Auckland with a doctoral degree in 2019.
Guest Bio:
Liz continues to research ancient Egypt and Sudan, and has recently moved into museum and heritage studies, focusing on African collections in museums and in Africa and the repatriation debate. She is passionate about researching and teaching African history and the intersectional identities at the heart of African heritages. Currently working at the Auckland University of Technology in Research Support, and generally being a nuisance to museums and other researchers around the globe, Liz publishes as frequently as her neurospiciness will allow her to. See some of her publications below:
