"Nubians weren’t the only ones coming to Egypt as soldiers—Egyptians went south too!" The stereotype that Nubians only came to Egypt to serve as soldiers misses an important part of history. According to Herodotus in “Histories”, 240,000 Egyptian soldiers, during the reign of King Psammetichus, deserted their posts and settled in Ethiopia (Nubia in Sudan). The King of Ancient Ethiopia (Nubia) offered them land in exchange for their services, showing that military exchanges flowed both ways between Egypt and Ancient Ethiopia (Nubia). Egyptians didn’t just rule Nubians; they were ruled by Nubia and sometimes integrated into Nubian society as well. This shows the deep interconnection between these African civilizations beyond one-sided stereotypes #takestepafrica

9 Reasons Why Africa Is Important to the World Africa is an amazing continent. Spanning from the deserts of north Africa to the jungles of Congo, from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific, Africa has some of the most incredible sights and people in the world. However, Africa sadly has an image problem. Many people think of Africa as poverty stricken, war-torn and unable to develop. We want to challenge that! That’s why we’ve put together a list of the reasons why Africa is important to the whole world… 1. Africa is Enormous 2. It Has a Young and Growing Population 3. It Is Rich in Natural Resources 4. Africa Has an Amazing History 5. The Continent Has Amazing Wildlife 6. Africa Is Hugely Diverse 7. Its Economy is Growing, Fast! 8. There Is Incredible Culture 9. Africa Has Contributed a Lot to The World A final reason why Africa is important to the world is the contributions it makes, and has made, to humanity. Many things that we take for granted every day have their origins in Africa. A great example is coffee – which originally comes from Africa. The continent has also given us a lot of scientific and technological developments, including early mathematics and astronomy, as well as medical breakthroughs. Africa is important to the world because it has given the world so much. As Africa continues to grow, it’s also likely to provide even more technological, economic, political and cultural developments. It is very possible that many African countries will be global leaders over the next decades, providing further proof of Africa’s importance to the whole world.
