The Kerma Culture
The kingdom of Kerma was noted for its artisans and gained great wealth by controlling trade
between Egypt and Central Africa. The Egyptians later ruled Nubia, and the two cultures
influenced each other.
Napata and Meroë
From their capital at Napata, the Kushites began to take Egyptian lands in the late 700s B.C.
They ruled all of Egypt for a short time before retreating and moving their capital farther south to
Meroë. The iron ore deposits nearby allowed them to make iron weapons, which they used to
control trade routes and gain wealth.
