We know more about Egypt than Nubia primarily due to the extensive documentation and monumental architecture produced by the Egyptians, including hieroglyphics and grand temples that have survived through millennia. Additionally, Egypt's strategic location and its interactions with other civilizations led to more historical records and archaeological interest. In contrast, Nubia, while culturally rich, had fewer written records and less monumental architecture, making its history less prominent in ancient narratives. Moreover, much of Nubia's archaeological work has been less prioritized and funded compared to Egypt's.

Explain how Egypt was affected by its contacts with the nubians?
The relationship between Nubia and Egypt is the same exact relationship between the U.S.A and England. England is the birthplace of America just like how Nubia is the birthplace of Egypt. The early Egyptians were in fact Nubians and without Nubia there wouldn't be no such thing as Egypt or Kemet. The Egyptian deities Ausar (Greek: Osiris), Auset (Greek: Isis) and their son Heru (Greek: Horus) all originated in Nubia, and even one of the most known Egyptian deities "Amen-Ra" originated in Nubia also. Nubia has more and older pyramids than Egypt which proves the fact that Nubia is where the Egyptians got their pyramid concept from; and the Nubian civilization also pre-dates Egyptian civilization by over 200 years. During the 25th Dynasty the Nubians conquered Egypt due to Egypt being invaded by foreign invaders like Arabs and Persians which is why in the 25th Dynasty of Egypt when the Nubians conquered Ancient Egypt the Egyptians went through an African Renaissance and the definition of a Renaissance is a "cultural rebirth" which further proves Egyptians comes from the Nubian civilization. So Ancient Egypt was greatly affected by Nubian contact because they were allies in trade and business but foreign invaders tried to conquer Egypt which handicapped this trade until the Nubians intervened since the Nubians were known to be successful at war. The first Egyptians were in fact Nubians and they were the same exact people, they only had different nationalities which separated the two! Go to YouTube and search a video documentary called "Nubian Spirit", it is the best educational video about the Nubian and Egyptian history and it's narrated by real scholars on these subjects.
