Sub Sharan Africas Contact with Broader World

Although Sub Saharan Africa was isolated from much of the world because of its hot dry climate that did not stop it from having trade relations with foreigners. For example the Nubian Kingdom of Kush had a bug influence on culture and way of life. Sub Saharan Africa is located south of the Saharan desert which is considered to be mostly Arab land although many refer to it as a barrier in between the sub Saharan's and the Arabs the sub Saharan's like to think of it as a bridge linking the two different nations together.

The Nubian's were not the only foreign kingdoms to interact with the Sub Saharan Africans, when Romans obtained camels from Asian trade they to visited and started trading with and through the Sub Saharan African people. Although they were considered isolated some foreign nations still believed they were valuable for trade and continued to have interactions with the country. Another way to get from one place to the next was the Nile River the nile river was very inportant in the interactions with other people. The Nile River was key because it streatched from east africa to the mediteranean sea and is said to be approximatley 4,000 miles long(as seen in the picture above).
