Why did Egypt depend in Nubian?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Egypt took over Nubia because they were really greedy and wanted more... when they found out that Nubia had a lot of land they wanted it... so the Nubians kept moving to small places. But pretty soon the Egyptiians could not take care of all of the land so they died out. They moved back where they origanally united.

Why was Kush considered a satellite of Egypt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Kush was not always a satellite of Egypt, but there were periods when Kushitic culture was strongly bent towards Egypt and when the kingdom paid regular tribute to the Egyptians. At those times in history, it would be proper to call Kush a satellite of Egypt. However, Kush eventually rose up and conquered Egypt, so the relationship ebbed and flowed.

How did egypts conquestof kush affect the people of kush?

Asked by Wiki User

There were quite a few effects the Egyptians had on Nubian culture. One of the major effects Egyptian culture had on the ancient Nubians was religion. The Nubian's mummified their dead, and worshiped the same gods as the Egyptians. The Egyptian and Nubian religions were extremely similar. The ancient Egyptians also influenced the popular style of clothing in Kush. If you read the site, it says that they dressed like Egyptians. It wasn't until the civilization moved farther south and away from Egypt that their clothing style started to take on different characteristics.

What was the relationship between Egypt and Nubia during the period of the new kingdom?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The place still exists without the name. Nubia is located in today's southern Egypt and northern Sudan. The modern inhabitants of southern Egypt and Sudan still refer to themselves as Nubians. In a race against the rising Nile waters impounded by the Aswan Dam, the world's archeologists joined forces 30 years ago to salvage the monuments, tombs and other remnants of ancient Nubia, a black African culture long overshadowed in history by Egypt but brilliant and innovative in its own right.

Newer research on cultural linkages between Nubia the Sudan and Egypt Edit and social complexity which is thought to be reflective of Egypt's Old Kingdom. Other scholars (Wilkinson 1999) present similar material and cultural evidence- including similarities between predynastic Egypt and traditional African cattle-culture, typical of Southern Sudanese and East African pastoralists of today, and various cultural and artistic data such as iconography on rock art found in both Egypt and in the Sudan.
