From the Paper:
"Nubia is the name of a former African country now divided between Egypt and Sudan, and the name remains for the Nubian Desert South of Lake Nasser. Ancient Egypt was briefly ruled by Nubian kings in the 8th.7th centuries BC. The ancient Egyptians knew the north as Wawat and the south as Kush, with the dividing line roughly at Dongola. Egyptian building work in the area included temples at Abu Simbel, Philae, and a defensive chain of forts that established the lines of development of medieval fortification. Between about 600 BC.AD 350, the capital of Nubia was Meroe, near Khartoum. About AD 250.550 most of Nubia was occupied by the X.group people, of whom little is known; their royal mound tombs were mistaken by earlier investigations for natural mounds created by wind erosion and were excavated in the 1930s."More papers on Nubia:
