Africa is basically divided by the Sahara dessert. Like many other land masses such as mountain ranges and bodies of water, deserts work as a way to divide people. Norther Africa was mostly kept separate from the Sub Saharan Africa. As a result they developed there own forms of culture, language, religion and ways of life.

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

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.
