Nubia, Geographic region across Nile River, Sudan
The Nubia territory extends from the Nile River valley near Upper Egypt to the Red Sea shores and reaches Khartoum in Sudan.
The region hosted the Kerma culture from 2500 BC until 1500 BC when the New Kingdom of Egypt conquered these lands.
The Nubian population developed their own script, practiced scarification on cheeks or temples, and maintained ancestral worship alongside Islamic traditions.
The region divides into three major sections: Upper, Middle, and Lower Nubia, each defined by their location along the Nile River.
Archaeological findings reveal that Nubia served as a commercial bridge between sub-Saharan Africa and Mediterranean territories through established trade routes.
