Question

How did the technological and cultural influences of Egypt affect the formation of Nubia

Answer 1

Answer:

Egypt influenced Nubia because the Nubians saw all the good the Egyptians had and they adopted it to improve their lives and become a better empire.

Explanation:

First of all, let’s picture Egypt as a cultural and technologic provider and producer. Then let’s understand Nubia and Egypt were neighboring countries. Now, let’s comprehend that they were two big powers close to the other and that these two empires represented progress and domination in the territory. They had different periods of peace and war. Thus, they dominated the other and were dominated by the other. According to this analogy, both were extremely related. So much that some pharaohs were from the Nubian origin. However, Egypt was the biggest cultural and technological advancement provider. Nubia didn’t produce so much advancement and considering they lived so much interaction the Nubians saw that the Egyptian culture was better than theirs and they adopted it to have a better life. Even if they were conquered or governed by the Egyptians, they understood their advancements were better and started to use their technology, geroglyphs and also they adopted the Egyptian gods to add them to theirs.

Nubia is a region along the Nile river located in what is today northern Sudan and southern Egypt. It was one of the earliest civilizations of ancient Northeastern Africa, with a history that can be traced from at least 2000 B.C. onward (through Nubian monuments and artifacts, as well as written records from Egypt and Rome), and was home to one of the African empires. There were a number of large Nubian kingdoms throughout the Postclassical Era, the last of which collapsed in 1504, when Nubia became divided between Egypt and the Sennar sultanate, resulting in the Arabization of much of the Nubian population. Nubia was again united within Ottoman Egypt in the 19th century, and within the Kingdom of Egypt from 1899 to 1956.

The name Nubia is derived from that of the Noba people, nomads who settled the area in the 4th century following the collapse of the kingdom of Meroë. The Noba spoke a Nilo-Saharan language, ancestral to Old Nubian. Old Nubian was mostly used in religious texts dating from the 8th and 15th centuries AD. Before the 4th century, and throughout classical antiquity, Nubia was known as Kush, or, in Classical Greek usage, included under the name Ethiopia (Aithiopia).

Historically, the people of Nubia spoke at least two varieties of the Nubian language group, a subfamily that includes Nobiin (the descendant of Old Nubian), Kenuzi-Dongola, Midob and several related varieties in the northern part of the Nuba Mountains in South Kordofan. Until at least 1970, the Birgid language was spoken north of Nyala in Darfur, but is now extinct.
