[QUOTE]Originally posted by One Third African: [QB] My understanding is that modern Nubians are descended from groups like the Nobatae who migrated into the Nile Valley from the west during the 4th century AD, when the kingdom of Kush was in its waning days. These Nubians would have absorbed the native Kushites, of course, but they would have started out as a separate collection of ethnic groups. That said, modern Nubian languages are classified as Nilo-Saharan rather than Afroasiatic like ancient Egyptian, so I would dispute the OP's claim modern Nubians primarily represent a migration of Egyptians into the Sudan. More likely in my opinion, any physical resemblance between modern Nubians and ancient Egyptians is due to their shared Northeast African heritage, not because the latter is descended from the former.
