Be aware the Egypt,Nubia and Sudan were connected like they were kinda 1 State till they united in 1 country and split in 1956.

I’d say they were maybe connected in the manner that they possibly shared culture or traditions over time or traded at times, but I don’t think they were happy go lucky, one big family as in some super state. There is just too much evidence from ancient Egypt that the Egyptians hated the Nubians and viewed them as enemies.

Ramesses II his enemies by the hair, two semites and a Nubian:



Enemy slave of Egypt, the Nubian:



King Tuts sandals showing Nubians as a captured and bound enemy under foot:




Egyptians captured enemies as slaves:



Egypt invaded Nubia in 1500BC.

Also, in 747 BC, Nubia invaded Egypt.

They were far from being one state. They hated each other.

There's no such thing. All Civilization in Africa comes from Caucasoid people.

What comes to mind for me, from West Africa that black American Afrocentrists can look to and leave Egypt alone is the Ghana and Songhai empires. And for East Africans, the Aksum Empire.

Here is something to get your brain in confusion. The whole relationship to Egyptians and Nubians were very complex. The Egyptians were allies with nubian groups such as the Medjay, and Ta seti, but were enemies of groups such as cush. Sometimes groups such as Ta Seti(nubian) were the rulers of Egypt, but were enemies of other nubian groups. The 12 dynasty is a testament of the reality.


Various pharaohs of Nubian origin are held by some Egyptologists to have played an important part towards the area in different eras of Egyptian history, particularly the 12th Dynasty. These rulers handled matters in typical Egyptian fashion, reflecting the close cultural influences between the two regions.

[T]he XIIth Dynasty (1991–1786 B.C.E.) originated from the Aswan region. As expected, strong Nubian features and dark coloring are seen in their sculpture and relief work. This dynasty ranks as among the greatest, whose fame far outlived its actual tenure on the throne. Especially interesting, it was a member of this dynasty that decreed that no Nehsy (riverine Nubian of the principality of Kush), except such as came for trade or diplomatic reasons, should pass by the Egyptian fortress and cops at the southern end of the Second Nile Cataract. Why would this royal family of Nubian ancestry ban other Nubians from coming into Egyptian territory? Because the Egyptian rulers of Nubian ancestry had become Egyptians culturally; as pharaohs, they exhibited typical Egyptian attitudes and adopted typical Egyptian policies. (Yurco 1989) [28]

The Horn had some civilizations that go unnoticed (Land of Pund, etc) but there is no notable civilization in Africa outside the Semitic sphere and Carthage.
