1998
The ancient land of Nubia was a neighbor to Egypt. It occupied the banks of the Nile River south of Aswan, all the way to the sixth cataract, or falls. Today this land lies inside of Sudan, but in ancient days it was known as the Kingdom of Kush and even ruled over Egypt for a time! History, geography, culture, and artifacts are included.
