Nubia was sophisticated as any other civilization because they started out as a pastoral society and changed into a larger civilization just like many other civilizations that we previously learned about did. They also had many smaller cities, buildings made of mud bricks and or temples where they worshipped their own gods. There was also extremely large burial ground much like our cemeteries we have today. They had a form of government as well which at the time was a king.
