A-Group

Vessels of the A-Group in Uupper Nubia

A-Group An  individual  people in Upper Nubia (modern  Sudan)  from  c.  3100-2800  B.C.E, the  A-Group were likewise  designated  as  being  from  the  "land of the bow". The rulers of these people had considerable local power and resources. Their graves contained gold jewelry and exquisitely made pottery. Egyptian and other foreign items saw in these graves argue a trade system that reached into the Mediterranean. Other groups in the area went enemies  of  the  A-Group,  but  the  B-Group  appears  partially  related.  Egypts pharaohs of the First Dynasty (2920-2770  B.C.E.) annexed  part of  Nubia  and  the  A-Group people formed the new colony.
