Once the ancient Kingdom
of Kush , Nubia is the stretch of land next to the

south . Nubians are depicted in many tomb paintings and
reliefs ,usually as mercenaries or traders .Nubians still have
distinct traditions , architecture and language , even though
many migrated either to Aswan and Kom Ombo or south to Sudan
after lake Nasser swamped much of their traditional homeland ,
Nubia houses dozens of sites of archaeology interest ,
twenty four temples , as well as fortresses and tombs which
were menaced by
the water of the high dam including Dendour , Ellessiya ,
Amada and Wadi Sebowa .Some have been moved , most notably
