Qasr Ibrim
Qasr Ibrim ((アラビア語:قصر ابريم)) is an archaeological site in Lower Nubia, located in the modern country of Egypt. The name is derived from the nearby village of Ibrim, on the east bank of the Nile. The site has a long history of occupation, ranging from as early as the eighth century BC to 1813 AD, and was an economic, political, and religious center. Originally it was a major city perched on a cliff above the Nile, but the flooding of Lake Nasser after the construction of the Aswan High Dam transformed it into an island and flooded its outskirts. Qasr Ibrim is the only major archaeological site in Lower Nubia to have survived the Nile floods. Both prior to and after the Nile floods, it has remained a major site for archaeological investigations. ==History== Human habitation at the site dates from the Late Period of ancient Egypt, but it reached its greatest prominence in the Middle Ages, when the area was the home of the Eparch of Nobatia. Qasr Ibrim is the source of the largest collection of Old Nubian documents ever found, including the records of the Eparch. The site was occupied until 1811. Today the island is closed to all but archaeologists.
