Discover the Great Nubian Poets

As part of the amazing Nubian Heritage, Nubian proverbs date back to the very ancient beginnings of Civilization and Nubian Language. The noble people who were living amidst a beautiful nature in Nubia at the border of the Nile river, which provided them with all they needed for a happy, peaceful and serene living, had plenty of time to reflect, create, dive into life's philosophy and wisdom to produce beautifully rhyming poems and proverbs.

Nubians have always attached great importance to the lessons they learnt from their Elders, and to transmit their knowledge and wisdom to the young generation. This care for their heritage has allowed Nubians to transmit their heritage and language for centuries even without written record, as writing in Nubian language occurred only during certain periods of history.

Proverbs are an easy but very efficient way to convey wisdom and advice to young people, as they are short and easy to memorize - even for young Nubians who didn't learn their native language, as many now live in towns or regions outside Nubia. Within a few words, proverbs are treasures containing the wealth of knowledge collected by wise people during centuries. We will be pleased to learn this precious advice...
