Egypt was strong empire but these times did not last. Pharaohs kept getting weaker and weaker it seemed Egypt would fall apart. But then a new king came to Egypt's throne at about 1991bc/bce his name was Amenemhet. He was determined to make Egypt strong again. So he looked south to the african kingdom of Nubia. Nubia was very rich and has many gold mines so it was a prize for egypt. So Egypt invaded Nubia after many battles Egypt had beaten Nubia. The the people of egypt made pictures of nubians handing gold to the egyptians.
Hi Sasha,
ReplyDeleteThanks for teaching me about Egypt and Nubia. It sounds like the Egyptians were more concerned about gold than they were about the people in Nubia. I like learning from your blog. I'll come back and visit if you post more!
