		CAIRO, Egypt (CNN) -- A quarter of a century after Nubian lands in Egypt were swamped by the completion of Egypt's fabled High Aswan Dam, the culture of the Nubian people has confounded experts by not only surviving, but actually thriving.
		A people of Arabic, Egyptian and Sub-Saharan descent who lived predominately in Southern Egypt for millennia, the Nubians' traditional homeland was flooded in 1971 when the Aswan dam, one of the world's largest, was built on the Nile to control the flow of flood waters.
		Many anthropologists thought the Nubian heritage -- their distinct language and culture -- was doomed when the Aswan dam went up.
