Decline of Nubian Civilizations:
Like Wawat, many other early Nubian civilizations flourished for a short time before getting absorbed by Egyptian kingdoms. In 2000 B.C., Egyptian Pharaohs of the Old Kingdom reoccupied lower Nubia.
The kush era ended around 350 CE, and grand projects disapeared along with large pyramids and temples that were seized, to be established. After the fourth century CE, Nubia went through extensive nomadic invasions from deserts surrounding Nubia. Also, after a while, the kushites returned to their old way of tumuli burials and forgot about building pyramids. |
Nubia ran into a problem when the demand for iron grew. They had to burn wood to make iron, and they used up most of their wood. The demand for iron was growing, but Nubia could not produce as much iron as they had in the past. Traders began to look at other countries for iron and as trade went down, the country began to weaken, then causing the later destruction of The Nubian civilizations. Egypt has taken over Nubia, which is now Egypt territory. The Ancient Nubian people and their land are gone.
