		Ancient History Sourcebook: Accounts of Mer?e, Kush, and Axum, c. 430 BCE - 550 CE ^Votes:0 Back to Ancient History Sourcebook \| Ancient History Sourcebook: Accounts of Mer?e, Kush, and Axum, c. 430 BCE - 550 CE Below are the main accounts of Ancient Nubia and Ethiopia from classical sources. There are a few accounts missing from this text: Pliny the Elder, Claudius Ptolemaeus, and the Periplus, though they used the same source that Strabo did. Diodorus Siculus is also missing. The Loeb version is still under copyright; but since the accounts of Strabo and Diodorus are virtually the same, thisis not much of a problem (again, they used the same source).

		Egypt Travel - Answan: Elephantine Island ^Votes:0 Elephantine Island Elephantine Island is the largest of the Aswan area islands, and is one of the most ancient sites in Egypt, with artifacts dating to predynastic periods . This is probably due to its location at the first Cataract of the Nile , which provided a natural boundary between Egypt and Nubia . As an island, it was also easily defensible. In fact, the ancient town located in the southern part of the island was also a fortress through much of it's history. At one time, there was a bridge from the mainland to the island. Elephantine is Greek for elephant. In ancient times, the Island, as well as the southern town, was called Abu, or Yabu, which also meant elephant. The town has also been referenced as Kom, after it's principle god of the island, Khnum (Khnemu) . It is believed tha Read More Go to Site

		Oct. 1995 Michigan Today---Nubia: Renown Unearthed From Ruins ^Votes:0 . . . October 1995 RENOWN UNEARTHED FROM RUINS By John Woodford "Africa has no history." Hegel?s disdainful remark has come down to us from the 18th century, echoed not only by contemporary scholars but even, according to The Haldeman Diaries, by a US president. Africa has long lain under the charge that no noteworthy ancient civilizations arose among the myriad Black societies that lived below its Mediterranean regions. The Kelsey Museum of Archaeology ?s current three-month exhibition, "Ancient Nubia: Egypt?s Rival in Africa," will go far toward correcting that misimpression. The exhibition, which opened Sept. 29 and runs through Dec. 15, contains more than 230 objects that span the millennia from 3500 BC to 100 AD from a Black African civilization that arose immediately south of Egypt m Read More Go to Site

There, true farming had begun, with the growing of wheat and barley, the domestication of animals and people permanently settled.
