Nubia

Nubia was an ancient African kingdom in northern modern Sudan and southern Egypt. It dates back to around 6000 B.C.E.  

They prospered in trade, especially with Egypt. Their many ports on the Red Sea carried much trade.  The kingdom, though, had many hardships.  It declined in power many times and broke up into smaller kingdoms which flourished on their own.  These are commonly referred to as the A-Group, B-Group, and C-Group.  Their true decline was around C.E.350, when the kingdom of Axum invaded and broke up the culture once again.  This time, historic Nubia never regained its strength.
