Prior the Egyptian domination in the 3100 BC, the Nubians had their culture and religious pratices. When their kingdom felt in Egyptian hands, several aspects of the culture were mixed. However, it was NOT THE SAME CULTURE. Even if the Nubians built pyramyds, their structures differ from the Egyptian's. The Egyptian pyramids have broad bases, while the Nubians have narrow bases and a relatively high height. Nubain people also had ethnic differences that motivated local conflicts, so that, even during the period in which they were part of Egypt, the region of Nubia was endowed with a degree of independence.
