o what extent did geographical factors—such as rivers (like the Nile and Niger), deserts, plateaus, and proximity to the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean—shape the development of trade routes and contribute to the rise of major historical kingdoms in the Sudan region?
Dear Mahmoud,
It is imperative firstly, as your focus appears to be historical not contemporary, that you understand, terminology, geographical terminology in relation to the region, as well as the time period you are localizing.
For example, you use the term Sudan, is this an appropriate toponym to use, is it tribal or geographic, is it localized to a time period or region.
Historically, we need to deal with terms like Kush (or Cush), Aethiopia, India.
And dependant on which Scholars or school of thought you are privy to, will determine your out look and outcomes, and understanding of data.
What are/were the borders of Kush/Aethiopia? And at what times?
And so forth!
These considerations ought to be considered at the outset. Regardless, they will be met with (knowingly or unknowingly), and need to be understood and overcome.
Most Sincerely,
