Older style histories sometimes talked about 'cultural ways of waging war' which have only been partially true:

In the ancient world military organization was somewhat more diverse than it is today. This is not really a case of 'every nation its own method of war' so much as 'use what you have where you are because the world is much smaller and it requires an outside context problem to break inertia.' The plentiful supplies of wood and animal life around them meant that the Nubians, unlike the Egyptians, were able to focus much more on archery and when this worked well it worked to Agincourt proportions, when it didn't it worked very, very badly indeed. The ultimate conquest of the 25th Dynasty was built on hitching the traditional massed archery methods to that of the huge Egyptian-style army of infantry, cavalry, and siege engines to take cities.

It took a long time to get to that point not least because the Pharaohs were utterly willing to put to the sword anyone who tried it too soon for their liking.

Cleopatra & Amanirenas versus the Romans

The Nile Valley queens Cleopatra of Egypt and Amanirenas of Kush are up against the wrath of the Roman legions! Can our heroines fight their way out of this predicament and defeat one the mightiest armies in the first century BC?

This is of course a fictional “alternate history” scenario I did for the sheer fun of it, but I really like the idea of Cleo and Amani teaming up against Rome. One wonders whether Cleopatra’s Egypt might have held up a little longer with more Kushite support…

A remarkable discovery at the University of Cambridge archive has unveiled a treasure trove of history. A set of 115-year-old documents, thought to have been lost for eight decades, has been found, shining a new light on the ancient Nubians!

These precious records, from early 20th-century excavations in Lower Nubia, provide invaluable insights into the ancient inhabitants of Nubia. Dr. Jenny Metcalfe, a biomedical Egyptologist from the University of Manchester, stumbled upon these "recording cards" while researching for her upcoming book.

They offer a glimpse into the Nubians' life, culture, and health.

Highlights:

• Integration of Nubians and Egyptians thousands of years ago.

• Identification of a 2,600-year-old statue of a Kush ruler.

• Grafton Eliot Smith's pioneering role in Nubian excavations.

• Over 150 cemeteries with 20,000 graves explored.

The ancient Nubians, a pioneering culture in Africa, are often overshadowed by their Egyptian neighbors. These excavations and the rediscovery of the recording cards emphasize their significant role in history.

"This discovery adds significantly to our understanding of life in ancient Nubia," says Dr. Metcalfe. "It helps us reconstruct the lives and communities of these fascinating people."

Red sandstone capital, 7th century, from Faras (Nubia), Sudan

Faras was an important Christian site from the seventh century and some of the most important bishops were based there. As well as the cathedral, with its brightly colored murals and intricate friezes, there were at least six churches, a monastery, and pottery workshops. In the later Medieval period, the importance of Faras declined as it was eclipsed by Qasr Ibrim, just north of the Egyptian…

A Nubian boy from Egypt. 🇪🇬

Nubians are descended from an ancient African civilisation (Kemet) that ruled over an empire stretching, at its height, across the north-east corner of the continent. Most Nubians lived along the Nile river in what is now southern Egypt and northern Sudan—a region often referred to as Nubia.
