@JonathanMBR Pretty neat, Egyptian style too. Looking at the map, that isn't really surprising either as they border Egypt. Nifty! Must've had some history together in the past!
@JonathanMBR Oh wait, I remember something! I was watching either Discovery Channel or National Geographic (probably the latter).
They actually had a whole programme about the black pharaoh who ruled over ancient Egypt and uh.. Nubia or something, which I'd think is probably modern day Sudan. (Would make sense, seeing the map).
It was a pretty interesting programme to watch, he was apparently a smart and good king. Further details elude me, unfortunately. But at least I know there was at least a black pharaoh who ruled over a fairly big area in ancient history. :)

Nubia refers to Southern Egypt and Northern Sudan.
@trinsec
The Nubian pyramids were built before even the neighboring Egypt was conquered by Arabs, when Egypt was invaded by Arabs from Middle East, pyramids were centuries old.
@mur2501 Ah, thanks! Sounds about right. I'll just have to believe you. :D The king was said to have ruled for quite a while too.
Egyptians in general weren't exactly black. Black people were used as slaves there. So it was fairly impressive that there was a black pharaoh who ruled over Ancient Egypt for a while.
