Darius I (Old Persian: Dārayava(h)uš; 550–486 BCE) was the third king of the Persian Achaemenid Empire. Also called Darius the Great, he ruled the empire at its peak, when it included much of West Asia, the Caucasus, Central Asia, parts of the Balkans (Bulgaria-Pannonia), portions of north and northeast Africa including Egypt (Mudrâya),[1] eastern Libya, coastal Sudan, Eritrea, as well as most of Pakistan, the Aegean Islands and northern Greece/Thrace-Macedonia.

Over the next few centuries there was no archaeological evidence of a succeeding culture to the A-Group, and it is thought that only a few indigenous peoples lived on Nubian land. This occurrence is thought to be a result of deterioration of climate and effects of Egyptian exploitation in trade. At this time with the absence of significant Nubian civilization, the Egyptians established settlements further south in Nubia in order to extract resources from Nubian land more effectively. It would not be until the Egyptian Sixth Dynasty that a new part of Nubian civilization would settle into the Nile
For the next two centuries the Turkish military leaders ruled over the parts of the empire it conquered until it was eventually no longer the Abbasid Empire.
