A Nubian landscape - North Africa and Middle East
Summary
Ruins of a temple (Trajan's kiosk or Pharaoh's Bed) on the island of Philae, Egypt.
Nubia has one of the oldest civilizations in the world. This history is often intertwined with Egypt to the north. Around 3500 BC, the second "Nubian" culture, termed the Early A-Group, arose in Lower (Northern) Nubia. They were sedentary agriculturalists, traded with the Egyptians, and exported gold.
