Ancient Nubia

The history of Nubia dates back to 2000 BCE, and was home to one Africa’s earlier kingdoms.

Nubia was once a powerful nation, separate from Egypt. Known for its richness in gold, and as a gateway for trade, it’s no wonder it was such a desired land. It's been determined that Nubia and Egypt had a longstanding and complex relationship; warring several times over Nubia’s superior trading territory.
