Baal brought the young Nur to a sacred cave, whose entrance became blocked by a cave-in, trapping them underground. On the day of his tribal rite of passage into manhood, the seventeen-year-old Nur killed three armed warriors of the tribe using only his bare hands and Baal explained to him that Rama-Tut was no god, as most believed, but a man, who had arrived in a Sphinx. At this time Egypt was ruled by Pharaoh Rama-Tut. Moreover, Nur believed in the principle that Baal and the tribe lived by, that only the fittest, toughest, most ruthless, and pitiless, tested by hardship, would and should survive. Nur did not understand their fear, but hardened his heart against it. Everyone in the tribe, except for Baal, hated and feared Nur for his inhuman looks and great abilities.

Their leader, Baal of the Crimson Sands, found the infant crying and recognized the potential power in the child. However, out of the desert, the Sandstormers, a roving band of feared nomadic raiders, slaughtered the citizens of Akkaba. Ugly and malformed, the infant was abandoned by the tribe, to die in the harsh desert sun. Even as an infant, the child inspired fear, being born with gray skin and blue lines running across his lips and face. 1.32 X-Men Disassembled & the Age of X-ManĮn Sabah Nur was born nearly five thousand years ago in a lone settlement on the Amentet at the very edge of the Valley of the Kings, in Egypt, as a member of a tribe in Akkaba.
