The monograph examines one of the issues of the relationship between ancient Egypt and Nubia, namely the issue of the formation of the apparatus of the Egyptian military and civil administration in this territory. There are three stages associated with changes in the nature of Egypt's policy in this region, which ultimately led to the transformation of Nubia into an Egyptian province. The role of the local population in the system of established Egyptian administrative institutions is highlighted. The study covers the period of the Ancient, Middle and New Kingdoms.
