American super star Will Smith was in Riyadh and by coincidence he ran into an Egyptian Nubian young man working in the hotel he was in, and with all politeness, he stopped him and said “I have a gift for you, with your permission.”
Will stopped and took the gift from him opened it and he liked it very much. This beautiful young man told him that it was from southern Egypt from Nubia in Aswan Governorate, and the meaning of the gift was (authenticity).
The young man was very respectful and his language was very sweet and very polite to the point that Will Smith asked him his name and thanked him very much.
He posted his entire video on Instagram and the video spread in an unnatural way and a lot of comments began asking about the Nubia country and wanting to visit it.
Special thanks to this beautiful Egyptian Nubian young man
Nubia is one of the greatest and oldest Egyptian cities, known for its very kind people and the Nile-based culture, with such a great history we can’t sum up everything about it but let’s have a quick spot over it.
Nubia is a region along the Nile river encompassing the area between the first cataract of the Nile (south of Aswan in southern Egypt) and the confluence of the Blue and White Niles (in Khartoum in central Sudan), or more strictly, Al Dabbah. It was the seat of one of the earliest civilizations of ancient Africa, the Kerma culture, which lasted from around 2500 BC until its conquest by the New Kingdom of Egypt under Pharaoh Thutmose I around 1500 BC, whose heirs ruled most of Nubia for the next 400 years
Nubia was divided into three major regions: Upper, Middle, and Lower Nubia, in reference to their locations along the Nile. “Lower” referred to regions downstream (further north) and “upper” to regions upstream (further south). Lower Nubia lay between the First and the Second Cataracts within the current borders of Egypt, Middle Nubia lay between the Second and the Third Cataracts, and Upper Nubia lay south of the Third Cataract
Historically, the people of Nubia spoke at least two varieties of Nubian languages, a subfamily that includes Nobiin (the descendant of Old Nubian), Dongolawi, Midob and several related varieties in the northern part of the Nuba Mountains in South Kordofan. The Birgid language was spoken north of Nyala in Darfur, but has been extinct as late as 1970.
Famous Quotes About Nubia:
Joseph Vogel – American author, scholar, and popular culture critic
“The period when sub-Saharan Africa was most influential in Egypt was a time when neither Egypt, as we understand it culturally, nor the Sahara, as we understand it geographically, existed. Populations and cultures now found south of the desert roamed far to the north. The culture of Upper Egypt, which became dynastic Egyptian civilization, could fairly be called a Sudanese transplant.”
Basil Davidson – British Africanist
“The ancient Egyptians belonged, that is, not to any specific Egyptian region or Near Eastern heritage but to that wide community of peoples who lived between the Red Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, shared a common “Saharan-Sudanese culture”, and drew their reinforcements from the same great source, even though, as time went by, they also absorbed a number of wanderers from the Near East”
Shomarka Keita and A.J. Boyce – Biological anthropologists
“Studies of crania from southern predynastic Egypt, from the formative period (4000-3100 B.C.), show them usually to be more similar to the crania of ancient Nubians, Kushites, Saharans, or modern groups from the Horn of Africa than to those of dynastic northern Egyptians or ancient or modern southern Europeans.”
Greetings to all the people of Nubia
