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[edit | edit source]
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]
