Imagine the Nubian Christian kingdoms without Arabic conquest stayed that way after the 7th century and Egypt never had been conquered. The Coptic Church stays in power and the Nubians still maintain their loyalty to the Coptic Church as well their close relations to the Byzantines. Now, we need a much more successful Eastern Roman Empire, if it still is a mayor player in Africa. Now there is a marriage to be arranged between a Byzantine heir and a Nubian princess. Of that marriage, a worthy heir results, who unites the kingdoms of Nubia under his crown and rules as Emperor and King of Nubia. Sudan and Constantinople develope close relations and a fruitful economic and cultural exchange.
