In this episode of The Kingdom of Kush: Africa's Forgotten Empire of Power, hosts Lucas and Luna explore the reign of King Nastasen, a late Napatan ruler who defended Kush against an invasion from Egypt in the 4th century BCE. Drawing from the Nastasen Stela discovered at Gebel Barkal, they examine how this king repelled a military campaign possibly led by Khababash, a native Egyptian rebel pharaoh. The conversation covers the border tensions between Kush and Ptolemaic Egypt, the role of the god Amun in legitimizing Nastasen's rule, and the economic factors behind the conflict, such as control of gold mines and trade routes. Lucas explains the stela's detailed account of booty captured—including ships, elephants, and prisoners—and what it reveals about Kushite military organization. They also touch on the transition from Napatan to Meroitic power centers and why Nastasen is considered the last great king of the Napatan period. The episode ends with a reflection on how primary sources like royal stelae shape our understanding of Kushite history. #Kush #Nastasen #NastasenStela #GebelBarkal #Napata #Khababash #PtolemaicEgypt #Meroë #Amun #KushiteMilitary #AncientNubia #NorthAfrica #Archaeology #Stele #4thCenturyBCE #Kandake #Meroitic #FexingoHistory Fexingo founder and producer: Ibnul Jaif Farabi Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
