International Campaign to Save the Monuments of Nubia - 55 millim

This stamp highlights Sudan's ancient heritage, deep archaeological roots, and participation in global cultural preservation, issued in support of the UNESCO international campaign to salvage Sudanese Nubia's antiquities before the flooding of Lake Nasser. The illustration features a historic bronze statuette of Taharqa, the celebrated 7th-century BCE pharaoh of the Kingdom of Kush (the 25th Dynasty), depicted kneeling in a ritual pose while presenting offerings. The subject carries a clear message of immense civilizational weight, historical endurance, and international cooperation, framing Sudan's ancient classical past as an essential cornerstone of global human heritage.
