Why did the Egyptians build trading centers in Nubia?
Nubia had access to a number of Sub-Saharan and West African Tribes and Empires. Therefore they had access to a number of Natural Resources that Egyptians wanted. In order to acquire those resources, they set up trading centers.
Why did African civilizations such as the axum and Nubian decline?
They did not have a stable government, or any kind of complex system holding them together.
Which of the Magi was the king of Nubia?
The very word magi (Latin, singular: magus) means that the author of Matthew was writing about priests of the Zoroastrian religion of the Persians. The priestly role was a hereditary one, and they were all members of the same Iranian tribe, much like the tribe of Levi in the Old Testament. Thus, the magi could never be either Nubians or kings.
The author of Matthew's Gospel was familiar with the Zoroastrian religion, and his story of the virgin birth is suggestive of the virgin birth of the Zoroastrian Saoyshant. By having the magi, priests of the Zoroastrian religion, wish to visit Jesus and bring expensive gifts, he was showing that even the priests of this great religion would have wanted to worship Jesus. In time, the Zoroastrian connection became less important, and they became referred to simply as 'wise men', which is the translation we see in most modern English Bibles. In modern times, they are sometimes referred to as kings, but this is a description that magi would never have accepted. The magi in Matthew were not intended to be regarded as kings.

The ancient Kushites hammered iron after it was heated to shape and strengthen the metal, a process known as forging. Heating the iron made it malleable, allowing the artisans to mold it into tools and weapons with improved durability. This technique also helps eliminate impurities, resulting in a stronger final product, essential for their agricultural and military needs. Hammering iron was a critical skill that contributed to the Kushites' technological advancements and economic development.
