WHERE? Nubia, Egypt
WHEN? In the past
WHAT? Discovering Nubian culture
I was travelling around Egypt discovering ancient cultures. We arrived
to Nubia in the south of the country. Nubian people are different from
Egyptians and Sudanese. They’re another culture with another language and other traditions.
They’re another ethnic. I travelled by camel along the Nile and I arrived to a
Nubian village where I met Sara, a beautiful local girl with enormous green
eyes. I was fascinated. She demanded me help for her poor family. I gave it. I
promised that I would return next year. I did it. She was there, waiting for
me.
Contemporary Nubian is a spoken language only. When
its speakers want to write it they have to resort either to the Arabic or to
the Latin alphabet.
