The Corridor’s writer receives Sudan’s highest medals The American Professor William Y Adams, a well-celebrated cultural anthropologist, archeologist, ethnologist, and historian was presented the Order of the Two Niles medal by the President of Sudan at the Republican Palace, Khartoum. Earlier in the 1950s, Adams led the salvation of many archeological sites that had been threatened by inundation of the Glen Canion Dam in his own country, the United States of America. In 1957-9, the UNESCO expert led the salvation of Nubia archeology from the inundation of the High Dam in Aswan. Still, invaluable antiquities were lost for ever in the inundated region by the Dam, let alone the unabated sufferings of the displaced Nubians. sudantribune.com 29 Dec 05
