Why was it necessary for ‘European and arab scholars’ to segregate Nubia from Egypt?

when it is one continuous and progressive civilization? If it was to justify colonialism and slavery have we now not moved on from that.

Update:

Nubia and Egypt are two near identical Nile valley kingdoms and at times Nubia extend into Egypt and Egypt into Nubia. They are two pyramid building, hieroglyph writing people who worshipped the same god. It would take a dishonest mind to conclude that there were significant differences between the two with regards to culture and ethnicity. Past racial thinking is now depriving modern students of academic and historical truth.

    Nubia and Egypt were geographically,culturally,and ethnically separate - in no way were they "one continuous and progressive civilization" although,as neighbours,each had its own effects on the other.

    That's why Arab and European scholars separate them - as I'm sure competent American and Asian ones do,for the same reasons.

    I think the ancient Egyptians did this themselves. They built a fort on the nile to keep the nubians out of Egypt.
