NUBIAN LOUNGE  Fresh

Check out these great Performance Artists (below) by clicking on their pic.

Many early Egyptian inscriptions, dating between 3200 and 2600 BCE, mention Nubia, which is called "Land of the Bow." At least five of these seem to be about Egyptian military raids on Nubia. Because hieroglyphic writing of this time does not give us detailed history, we know little of these events.

Nubia was famous throughout ancient history as a land of expert and feared archers. Pictures from as early as 3200 BCE show Nubians carrying bows. The Egyptians even used a bow as the hieroglyphic spelling for the name "Nubia." Throughout history, pictures and drawings of Nubian gods, kings, and warriors show them holding bows.


In graves of Nubian men, archaeologists often find their skeletons holding bows and lying beside quivers of arrows. In later centuries, men were sometimes buried wearing stone rings on their thumbs.
These rings allowed them to pull back the bowstrings without cutting or hurting themselves.
About 2600 BCE, the Egyptians began hiring thousands of Nubian men as archers for their armies.(from dignubia.org).
The Nubian Lounge is for 'out and about' Artists currently working on stuff.
