A-Group Culture
The A-Group Culture was an ancient civilization that arose between the First and Second Cataracts of the Nile in Nubia. It lasted from 3800 BC to 2800 BC, around the time of the 2nd Dynasty of Egypt.
==Overview==
The A-Group settled on arid land with scarce natural resources, yet they became the first peoples in ancient Nubia to develop agriculture. This culture was one of the two important "kingdoms" in Lower Nubia. Artifacts from this culture were first discovered in 1907 by Egyptologist George A. Reisner.
A-Group royal tombs were found to be two centuries older than those of the Egyptians. However, further research has demonstrated that this is no longer the case:
The A-Group had strong beliefs in the afterlife. A great deal of time was put into their cemeteries and funerals. The dead were placed in burial mounds with their bodies facing the West. Grave goods such as jewellery, pottery, stone bowls, linen cloth, copper tools, and cosmetic palettes were found on or near bodies.
