  • 1960

Egyptologist Fritz Hintze (1915–1993) led the Humboldt-Universität's first field-research projects in Sudan. As the young GDR sought recognition under international law, relations with the north-east African Republic of Sudan, founded in 1956, were important to it at a foreign-policy level. It financed extensive excavations at the ancient sacred Cushitic site of Musawwarat es-Sufra and the reconstruction of the Lion or Apedemak Temple. Today the site is part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. HU is still active here in the fields of research and cultural preservation. Diaries document the start and progression of the 1960s work. These historical records are today an important source for studies into Sudan archaeology and the history of science.
