Egypt's southern border consisted for many thousands of years of the greater area around the island settlement of Elephantine. Further south, the Aswan dam project led to large-scale destruction of Nubian cultural heritage. Thanks to archeological excavations on Elephantine and ceramic artefacts, it is now possible to trace Elephantine's cultural contacts and diverse history from the 4th to the 2nd millennium BCE.
