Found an interesting book--Introduction to African Civilization by John G. Jackson, Citadel Press Book, 1990. Went to the index and found two pages on Nubia:
Check this out:
"...{W}hile the achievements of Egypt are the best known among African nations, these are not the only achievements that African nations can claim. The nations to the south called Kush, Nubia, and Ethiopia developed many aspects of civilization independent of Egyptian influence. These nations gave as much to Egypt as Egypt gave them.
"Trade was the basis for the earliest contact in Egypt with the rest of Africa. Gold was obtained from Nubia...{T}rading expeditions...spread Egyptian ideas. Egypt, in turn, observed and took ideas from other nations within Africa (14-15)."
