 The Lost Land of Nubia: Egypt's Southern Neighbor in Africa
Despite cultural similarities in the earliest periods, the northern Nubians were slow to develop anything resembling a unified state, and the earliest evidence of political unity appears only 2,500 years after the First Dynasty of Egypt.

Professor Atkins, who detailed some years ago 16 sun and moon orientations across the great stones, reckoning the heavens as at about 1500 BC (Stonehenge Defoded, Souvenir Press, 1966), remarks that only at about this longitude could these orientations have been combined into one workable system.
Indeed, since Professor Atkinson appeared to have established its period as 1800-1500 BC which he later modified to 1750-1450 BC, radio-carbon dating has estimated it as anything from 600-1,000 years earlier than such figures, and this might make it nearly 5,000 years old-a good deal nearer to Stukeley than to Little Arthur's History.
