The Nubians are an ethnic group in Egypt and Sudan . Ancient Nubians many times have invaded and controlled Egypt. The converse is also true, as there have been long periods of time in which Egypt has controlled and collected taxes from Nubia. In armed conflict, Nubian warriors were well known as extremely skilled archers and many of them were employed as mercenaries in the pharoanic Egyptian armies. Nubia and Egypt, although distinct empires, shared the same religion in the past. The Nubian Tribes in Sudan inhabit the region between Halfa in the north to north Aldaba in the south. The main Nubian tribes are from north to south are: Halfaweyen, Sikut (Sickkout), Mahas and Danagla. They speak different dialects of the Nubian language. The Nubians today, as well as the Arabic-speaking groups of northern Sudan, all show a clear physical continuity with the ancient Nubians. PROMINENT NUBIAN FIGURES
