| | Nubia - Crystalinks |
 | | Nubia as a whole was governed by a viceroy, usually a member of the royal entourage, who was responsible to the Egyptian pharaoh. | | | This third Egyptian occupation was the most complete and the most enduring, for despite sporadic rebellions against Egyptian control Nubia was divided into two administrative units: Wawat in the north, with its provincial capital at Aswan, and Kush (also spelled Cush) in the south, with its headquarters at Napata (Marawi). | | | Indeed, the Egyptianization of Nubia appears to have actually been enhanced during the decline in Egypt's political control over Nubia in the Second Intermediate Period (c. |

| | 1987 NUBIAN EXHIBITION: BROCHURE |
| | A.D. Nubia first became Christian in the time of the Roman emperor Justinian, but soon after, the Moslem Arabs conquered Egypt, and the Nubians were isolated from direct contact with the Christian world north of the Mediterranean. | | | In the twelfth century, under Saladin, and later, under the Mamelukes, the power of Christian Nubia was broken by a series of campaigns and invasions of Arab tribes. | | | A.D. With the Roman world in turmoil, and Meroe in decline, a people from east of the Nile known to the Greeks as Blemmyes and to the Arabs as Bedja, rapidly overran much of Egypt and Lower Nubia. |

| | It confirmed Vercoutter's conviction that Mirgissa was the long-sought Egyptian entrepot in Nubia, ideally situated for trade, where a popular Egyptian goddess was worshipped by the Egyptian community. | | | However, the fortunes of Christian Nubia eventually declined as it came more and more under the control of Islam. | | | One of the most rewarding archaeological concessions, and one that identified thousands of sites in Nubia from pre-dynastic times through to the Christian era, was that of the Scandinavian joint expedition comprising Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, under mission head Torgy Save- Soderbergh of Uppsala University. |

| | Although the Arabs soon abandoned attempts to reduce Nubia by force, Muslim domination of Egypt often made it difficult to communicate with the Coptic patriarch or to obtain Egyptian-trained clergy. | | | The emergence of Christianity reopened channels to Mediterranean civilization and renewed Nubia's cultural and ideological ties to Egypt. | | | Acceptance of the treaty did not indicate Nubian submission to the Arabs, but the treaty did impose conditions for Arab friendship that eventually permitted Arabs to achieve a privileged position in Nubia. |
