Why was Egypt rarely conquered by invaders?
they faced few invasions because,of the acess to egypt and nubia.
Yes, Nubians are of African- Black descendant and currently live in lower Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Kenya. The term Nubian is also a very broad word used to describe black people in Eastern Africa and North Eastern Africa. Also, Nubians formerly lived in Northern Egypt but for the most part have moved to the lower regions (mostly involuntarily and because of multiple political reasons). The former Nubian territory existed where Egypt and Sudan currently exist. Colonization and changes in government in the past 2-5 centuries are the main reasons for the renaming of countries and racial distribution and/or segregation of people (mainly between African Arabs and African Blacks).
Are there any lasting contributions still seen today of Egyptians?
Ancient Egypt was 5,000 years ago and it has little impact on our lives except for the history and understanding of one of the great civilizations in man's history. In the 1920's after King Tut's tomb was found many buildings had Egyptian style decorations and facades. If you look carefully today you can still see these on older buildings. The early movie houses often had a theme featuring an Egyptian style decorative scheme. Buildings were created with columns and at the top of them you can see decorative palm leaves so the columns look like palm trees. Look carefully around you and you will find the influence of ancient Egypt in your own city.
