Nubia
Nubia ( / ˈnuːbiə , ˈnjuː - / ) is a region along the Nile river encompassing the area between Aswan in southern Egypt and Khartoum in central Sudan . It was the seat of one of the earliest civilizations of ancient Africa , with a history that can be traced from at least 2500 BC onward ( Kerma culture ) , and was home to several empires , most prominently the kingdom of Kush , which for a while even ruled over Egypt . Its collapse in the 4th century AD after more than 1000 years of existence was precipitated by an invasion by Ethiopia 's Kingdom of Aksum and saw the rise of three Christian kingdoms , Nobatia , Makuria and Alodia , the last two again lasting 1000 years . Their eventual decline initiated not only the partition of Nubia into the northern half conquered by the Ottomans and the southern half by the Sennar sultanate in the 16th century , but also a rapid Islamization and partial Arabization of the Nubian people . Nubia was again united under the Khedivate of Egypt in the 19th century . Today , Nubia is split between Egypt and Sudan .
