This list covers Egypt’s black neighbours south of the first Nile cataract until the conquest of Kush by the first three Pharaohs of the 18th Dynasty. Here south of the cataracts the Nile is classed as a river rather than a waterway; and Egyptian forts were established near the cataracts to prevent passage downstream to the north of Nubian raiders. Most Nubians wore only leather kilts, decorated their hair with clay and feather, but sometimes wore gold jewellery. Most fought with a simple stave bow, some with a small hide shield and club. Chiefs often wore cotton tunics and leopard skin cloaks. References: Annies of the Ancient Near East N. Stillman & N. Tallis, Warfare in the Ancient Near East to 1600BC W. J.
