Along time ago people who originally were from Africa did not think of themselves as African.
In the Nile Valley south of Egypt were the lands of Nubian civilizations almost as old as Egypt itself. Over the years Nubians both traded goods and fought with Egypt. As Egypt fell under foreign control Nubian civilization came to center on the southern city of Moroe. The kingdom of Moroe was governed by the powerful and sacred monarchs.Weapons and Iron tools were prominent industries.
The significant encounter was between the agriculture Bantu and the gathering and hunting of the people who earlier occupied Africa south of the equator. During this encounter Bantu speaking farmers had a lot of advantages. One was agriculture help have a productive economy. Bantu viewed god as the remote and largely uninvolved in ordinary life. Focused instead on ancestral or nature spirit.
