Answer to Question 2
Egyptian culture arose in Africa and was the creation of African peoples. The Nile that nourished Egypt also supported kingdoms further south in a region called Nubia. A famous Nubian kingdom, Kush, produced gold ornaments found in tombs. The sculptural iconography and style in these ornaments identified with the deities and architecture of ancient Egyptian art linked to the Mediterranean world. Further west, Arab armies carried their conquests across the Mediterranean and eventually the African people known as the Berbers were converted to Islam. African Islamic art was a result of the spread of Islam along ancient trade routes to the south. Islamic travelers found literally hundreds of cultures south of the Sahara, each with its own distinctive art forms. More than any other artistic tradition, the arts of Africa challenge us with their forms, impulses, and purposes.
