Long before Kush and Meroe, a powerful kingdom thrived in Upper Nubia from around 2500 to 1500 BCE. This episode explores the Kingdom of Kerma, one of the earliest complex societies in Africa. We delve into its massive mud-brick structures, including the Western Deffufa—a unique religious monument that still stands today. Lucas and Luna discuss the Kerma kings' wealth, built on trade with Egypt, and their formidable archers who challenged Pharaohs during the Second Intermediate Period. We examine the archaeological evidence for Kerma's sophisticated burial practices, with thousands of cattle skulls placed in elite graves, and the mysterious 'Kerma Bow' that gave the region its Egyptian name, Ta-Seti. The episode covers the kingdom's eventual conquest by the New Kingdom pharaohs Thutmose I and III, and how Kerma's legacy influenced later Nubian cultures. Discover the story of a civilization that rivaled Egypt and laid the groundwork for the great kingdoms of Sudan. #Kerma #Nubia #TaSeti #WesternDeffufa #SecondIntermediatePeriod #ThutmoseI #ThutmoseIII #GeorgeReisner #KermaBow #CattleBurials #SudanHistory #AncientAfrica #NileCivilizations #KermaKingdom #Deffufa #NubianArchers #Archaeology #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
