Nubians are a Nilo-Saharan ethnic group indigenous to Northern Sudan 🇸🇩 and Southern Egypt 🇪🇬. Originating from the early inhabitants of the central Nile valley, Nubia is considered one of the earliest cradles of civilization. 🌍🏛️
Nubian history spans from c. 2000 BCE to 1504 AD, when Nubia was divided between Egypt and the Sennar sultanate and became Arabized. Known for its rich deposits of gold and as a gateway for luxury products like incense, ivory, and ebony, Nubia played a crucial role in ancient trade and culture. 🌟
Nubians are renowned for their skilled archers and vibrant traditions. A Nubian wedding ceremony can last for 40 days, featuring a series of rituals and gifts, especially garments for the bride's family. 🎉💍
Nubia's region begins just south of Khartoum in Sudan, where the Blue and White Nile join, and is connected to Egypt by the Nile River, flowing northward to the Mediterranean.
