which factors protected egypt and nubia by discouraging foreign invaders?

• the desert
• mediterranean sea
• guarded borders
• red sea

Explanation:

Analyze geographic barriers

The question asks for factors protecting Egypt and Nubia from invaders.
We apply Ancient Egyptian Geography to identify natural barriers.
The vast deserts surrounding the Nile Valley acted as major obstacles.

Evaluate water barriers

We apply Nubian Defensive Barriers to evaluate surrounding seas.
The Red Sea to the east provided a natural barrier.
The Mediterranean Sea to the north also discouraged easy land invasions.

Assess human-made factors

Guarded borders are political/military measures, not primary natural geographic factors.
The core historical focus is on natural geographic features that discouraged invaders.
Therefore, the desert, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Red Sea are the correct factors.

Answer:

• the desert (Correct answer)
• Mediterranean Sea (Correct answer)
• guarded borders
• Red Sea (Correct answer)
