  Hello from the heart of ancient Nubia, proudly from the city of Meroe it self. A true ethnic Nubian from the Mahas tribe which is one the the original native  tribes in the region, a true descendant of the Nubians and one of few  that still speaks the ancient Nubian languages still in existence. 🙂

  Funny thing about Nubian archers. They are mentioned by the Egyptians, by the Greeks (under Alexander) and well into the Islamic conquests. It’s a long lasting tradition

  &quot;Then there was the looming threat of Assyria.&quot;<br>Was there anyone in the region that the Assyrians <i>didn&apos;t</i> threaten?

  Also Nubian warriors were very appreciated and sought after by many neighboring powers for a long time(they were valuable mercenaries or levies). They were exceptional spearmen too along their famed archers.

  Love stories about Nubia and Kush ever since I learned that they conquered Egypt (at least once that I know of, I still have more to learn). &nbsp;I love Egypt archeology and history. I took up architecture and I&apos;m really into the ancient and classical ones more than the modern and contemporary. It&apos;s also good to learn about the surrounding areas as well, especially the African part which aren&apos;t talk about as much.

  My grandmother is a Nubian refugee in Uganda and no one really talks about her side of the family since everyone else is part of a different tribe, so this is the first time Ive actually taken time to learn about it! Great job btw

  Nice history lesson.<br><br>But the Nubians and Egyptians were not always rivals, Pharaoh Piankhi came from Nubia and the Egyptians saw him as a hero when the Assyrians invaded Egypt.

  Much of this is in the bible in Old Testament, Sudan was called the Land of Cush. Cush was the offspring of Ham which was one of the sons of Noah after the flood. This is also reference in the Book of Jasher which is referenced in the bible. If you read the book of Jasher it goes in depth about the Sons of Noah where they&apos;re offspring spread out in Europe, Asia , North Africa, etc &amp; named their cities after their names. Mindblowing.
