A Nubian Spice and Frangrance Shop
I love the vibrancy and colour of the Nubian culture. The land of Nubia is a desert divided by the river Nile. In ancient time, Nubia was a land of great natural wealth,of gold mines, ebony, ivory and incense which was always prized by her neighbors. Because they did not write their own languages until very late in ancient times, we know their stories and their people largely through their archaeology and what the Egyptians and Greeks said about them. During the construction of Assam Dam, more than 100 of Nubian villages in (most of them in Sudan )with all monuments,tombs,temples were flooded by the waters of Nasser Lake after the construction of the High Dam. The villagers have since been relocated to various villages near Assam .
