Over the past few weeks it has come to my attention that there are many conflicts about whether or not Nubia equals the power, strength, and success of Egypt. I have looked into this conflict and I have come up with the conclusion of; no Nubia has not equaled the power, strength, or success of Egypt. I will prove this by showing you how the strengths of Nubia and how they dwindle in comparison to Egypt 's. Then, I will show you the weaknesses of Nubia. Next, I will explain my thesis statement using the information I’ve already stated, using the weaknesses and strengths. Finally, I will conclude my essay. Now it 's time to start my essay and look at the strengths of Nubia.
The strengths of Nubia are kind of great, but they’re pretty small compared to Egypt’s. Herodotus said, “The Ethiopians … are said to be the tallest and handsomest men in the whole world.” This is a strength

It is now time to look at the strengths and weaknesses to see if Nubia did actually equal the the amazing strengths, powers, and success’ of ancient Egypt. It is very true that Nubia did at one point conquer Egypt. Egypt has been dominating Nubia for several centuries, and has been stealing from them for centuries as well. Also, it is true that in Nubia they eventually built trading posts and temples. All of the trading posts and temples were adopted from the Egyptians as well as their gods, artistic style, and religious writing. It is true that Nubia was very wealthy. Even when they were wealthy, they kind of weren 't because Egypt came and took their gold and their wealth. It is very apparent that Nubia did import fruits and melons from central Africa. Though this is true, Egypt had the Nile river and didn 't have to import anything; they just had their food their. Nubia is a pretty solid civilization but it trembles in comparison to the strengths, power and success of the amazing civilization of Egypt. Now it is time to conclude my essay about Nubia and how it lacks in comparison
The religion of Islam spread rapidly in the 7th century. Islam spread quickly because of the military. During this time, on numerous accounts there were military raids.

Egypt and Mesopotamia were similar and different in various ways. Both Mesopotamia and Egypt developed in a dry, semi-desert region near flooding rivers that gave the soil richness. While the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers ' flooding was violent an unpredictable, leaving Mesopotamians in fear guessing, the Nile River 's flooding was more peaceful, allowing the Egyptians to simply keep track of time to plant their seeds. Egypt is surrounded by barren desert, providing something Mesopotamia didn 't have a protective barrier from invaders. Both Mesopotamia and Egypt had various nature gods that controlled the natural world.
Throughout history, Egypt was one of the greatest societies for many reasons. The Egyptian society lasted from 3100 BCE to 30 BCE. It was ruled by multiple pharaohs, one of the most important being Queen Hatshepsut as she was the first female pharaoh in Ancient Egypt. In addition, the geography of the region helped the Egyptian people immensely as the Nile River provided a way of transportation improved soil conditions. Lastly, their architectural advancements made their society great as it created a way of spiritual life for all people.
Egypt, the mother of the world, the home of the Pharaohs and the pyramids, was colonized by Britain. Britain had the largest empire during the 1800’s and the 1900’s, controlling land in Southeast Asia and in the Americas. After WWI the Ottomans were forced to leave all of its land in Africa. The new countries in Africa, especially northern countries were an easy target for imperialism. Egypt was very important for two main reasons, one of them being the amount of food Egypt had and its strong reliable food source.
This evidence proves the Nile’s impact on ancient Egypt’s religion because they have created a religious song centering, on how they could not survive without it. It is hard to imagine what the ancient Egyptians spiritual life would be like without the Nile’s
iv) Herodotus’s writing is useful when studying ancient Egypt as it shows and explains all views of both scholars and foreigners at the time (Hdt. 2.20). The text teaches historians about Egypt’s neighbours and their views on Egyptian culture and the Nile (Hdt. 2.30). This source is also useful in teaching historians about climate and the geography of ancient Egypt (Hdt. 2.25). These writings are bought directly from Herodotus to historians showing us what history books were like during the time of ancient Egypt.
The most significant factor that influenced the development of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia was their geography, because their locations by large rivers led the civilizations to produce an abundance of food, leading to a population increase and for several cities to form which influenced the cultural, economic, and political influence of both civilizations. The flooding within both ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia allowed their agriculture to thrive Mapping sentence for culture. Mapping sentence for economic. Mapping sentence for Political. Transition.
Also, the Nile River affected the culture of the Egyptian civilization because it became a large part of their religious beliefs. This proves that geography had a large part in shaping the civilization in the Egyptian river
along with other peoples, like the Sumerians. The culture of both the Semitic and Sumerians overtook Mesopotamia quickly. In contrast, Egypt was never conquered by any country. Egypt worked well alone, without the help of other countries mostly. All the sources needed were there in Egypt with the annual flooding and agriculture strength, unlike Mesopotamia.
The Ancient Egyptians were one of the first Civilizations to form in the ancient world. These people dealt with each other in peace and war, birth, and death. The Egyptians have influenced us in many ways. The Egyptians have influenced us in our inventions, math, writing, medicine, religion, sports, and music.

I write this not as an Egyptian citizen, but rather as an individual that is worried about his homeland country’s future. Egypt is a nation that has many communities and therefore different cultures, beliefs and opinions. These different cultures form the final Egyptian culture with its traditions and customs. The citizens of Egypt are very proud of their culture and are trying to protect it from external modifications. Nevertheless, Egypt needs to integrate itself with diverse cultures as it is in the process of developing and needs to reshape and gain specific habits in order to advance.
In conclusion we can affirm that Egypt is without doubt a great civilization that is worth to be studied in depth, importance they gave to the scientific advances of that time make us see the magnitude of this civilization, it’s importance and understand why these vestiges are so studied that until today are found and
