Nubia
Nubia is a region of Africa situated along the Nile river, encompassing the area between the first cataract of the Nile south of Aswan, Egypt, and Al Dabbah.
History
Nubia was the birthplace of Tabid Al-Nubi, a 9th-century Hidden One serving as a Rafiq in Baghdad.[1]
From 1858 onwards, then-director of the Antiquities Service, Auguste Mariette, carried out his work across Egypt and into Nubia, intervening on almost every major site.[2]
Today, the area of ancient Nubia, in modern-day Sudan, contains 220 known pyramids, which is a record number. For reference, Egypt has only 138.[3]
