Over the course of its history, Nubia (largely covering what is now the Sudan) has not really risen to any great heights. Only in the eras of the so-called Thirteenth and twenty-fifth Dynasties of ancient Egypt - the first a period of about two hundred years, between 2,000 and 1,800 BC, the second a period of a hundred years around 800 BC - Nubia provided Egypt with a large number of pharaos and high public officials.

Before and after those two periods, ancient Egypt largely saw Nubia as a client State and trading partner and as a source of raw materials, soldiers and gold. After the Egyptian period, Nubia got divided into a number of smaller kingdoms, the northern part finally being dominated by the Arabs. In present times, Nubia - or rather the Sudan - first was controlled from Egypt when the British had effectively taken over control there. Afterwards, the Sudan gradually became a battlefield between forces from northern and southern Sudan, culminating in the recent division of the country.

What did the Nubians do once they were conquered by Egypt?

Most of them remained where they were. The Egyptians were not in the habit of taking slaves, certainly not on a massive scale, so having conquered Nubia mostly meant to them an easier access to Nubia's Natural Resources. Over time, many Nubians would rise to prominent positions in Egyptian society and there would even be a complete "Nubian" royal House that would rule as Pharaohs over Egypt.
