About Nubia
Nubia existed in what is nowSudan(and part of modern-day Southern Egypt) along the RiverNile, and was therefore Ancient Egypt's great rival to the south. Nubia was occupied by Egypt on several occasions and briefly occupied Ancient Egypt during that empire’s downfall. The Nubians have left an extraordinary, though relatively unknown, legacy. Among the ancient Egyptians, the Nubians had a fearsome reputation for being fierce warriors, and during the times Nubia was under Egyptian occupation, the Egyptian army would recruit many Nubians as soldiers in wars against its rivals. Sudan is the country with the most pyramids in the world, about twice that of Egypt.
