Some Early Evidence of Egyptian Influence in Upper Nubia

Abstract

Art is one of the most prominent aspects of civilization; it characterizes one culture from the other. Egyptian art reflected the essence and character of its civilization in its entire religious, political, and economic aspects. Based on its art production found in certain foreign countries, one can easily estimate the level of its influence and expansion in these neighboring lands. The current research deals with some examples found in Nubia, which have pure Egyptian artistic style that corresponds to their counterparts in Egypt. Egypt`s Political, Economic, and Religious influence on this region confirmed by the finding of the current evidence. This paper includes examples and comparisons of those objects with the ancient Egyptian art style which confirms with determination the Egyptian influence in the south.
