about the third millennium BC Nubian culture the type of mathematical group A group A Group is the designation for a distinct culture that arose between the Cataracts of the Nile First and Nile Second Cataracts of the Nile in Nubia between the Ancient Egypt Egyptian 1st dynasty and the 3rd millennium BC. The A Group settled on very poor land with scarce natural resources, yet they became the first Nubia ns to develop agriculture . This culture was one of the two important kingdoms in Lower Nubia . Artefacts from this culture were discovered in 1907 by Egyptologist George A. Reisner . A Group royal tombs were found to be two centuries older than those of the Egyptians . It is believed that the Egyptians developed their grave site customs for honouring pharaoh s from Central Africa . The A Group had strong beliefs in the afterlife. A great deal of time was put into their cemeteries and funerals. The dead were placed in burial mounds with their bodies facing the West. Grave good s such as jewellery , pottery, stone bowls, linen cloth, copper tools, and cosmetic palette s were found on or near bodies. By 3200 BC, the A group was known for their mediation of the increased trade between Egypt and the distinct South. However, the relationship with Egypt would not last.

The Nubian Swell is a geology geologic structural uplift in northern Africa that trends east west and separates the lower Nile River Nile of Egypt from the Sudan basin. The Nubian Swell has been geologically active since early Mesozoic times, and portions are still active. The Nile traverses the uplift through geologic fractures and faults, and four of six cataracts of the Nile occur where the river crosses the uplift.

Prior to the Kushites building these pyramids which are located in modern day Sudan , there had been no pyramid construction in Egypt and the Nile Valley for more than 500 years.
