The notion that the emulation of Egyptian practices by Nubians represents a natural acculturation towards an inherently appealing and sophisticated Egyptian culture is heavily embedded within Egyptology. The possibility that the conquered Nubians might have influenced Egyptian society or maintained native practices tends to be ignored or denied

Egyptian culture and Nubian culture are often treated as if they are/were in binary opposition. However, new evidence suggests that Egyptians and Nubians share a complex pattern of juxtapositions as well as entanglements that blend Egyptian and Nubian elements in various aspects.

Not to mention, that popular culture’s representation of “Egyptian culture” tends to overlook the traditions of the Nubian culture that still exist today. Instead, it treats Nubia as if it were solely a thing of the past when in reality these traditions still exist today.
