Nubia. Civilization in Sub-Saharan Africa began in the land of Nubia, which denotes the region around the segment of the Nile River in northern Sudan and southernmost Egypt. Nubia was the southern neighbour of ancient Egypt, whose territory also lay along the banks of the Nile (see History of the Ancient Middle East).ubian civilization was born ca. 2000 BC, with the rise of the city of Kerma (the first Sub-Saharan city). For the early phase of Nubian civilization (ca. 2000-1000 BC), however, the land of Nubia was subject to Egyptian political dominance.
A fallacy is a misleading argument or belief based on a falsehood. If you oppose state testing in schools, you think it is a fallacy that educational quality can be measured by standardized tests. Fallacy comes from the Latin fallacia, for deceit. It technically means a flaw in an argument that makes it deceptive or misleading. In poetry, the pathetic fallacy is the false idea that things like rocks or stars have human feelings (pathos). Fallacy can also be used more generally for any false statement or idea.
Lesson Summary. A logical fallacy is an argument that appears on the surface to be reasonable but in reality is weak or faulty and misleading. There are a few subcategories of fallacies: the structural fallacy, the verbal fallacy and the material fallacy (the last of which was the focus of this lesson). Logical fallacies are most often accidental or unintentional, based on a misinterpretation of information or the need for more evidence.
