The Nubians were one of the oldest civilisations in the world. From around 3800 BCE, they lived along the Nile in Northern Sudan and Southern Egypt. Their sophistication and power not only rivalled that of Egypt but at one time they actually ruled it. Then in the mid 20th century their ancestral homes disappeared under billions of tons of water - from the giant High Aswan Dam. But - as our guest Sondos Ayoob makes clear - you can take the Nubians out of Nubia but you can't take Nubia out of the Nubians.
