Also known as Meroe

Meroë was an ancient city on the east bank of the Nile about 6 km north-east of the Kabushiya station near Shendi, Sudan, approximately 200 km north-east of Khartoum. Near the site is a group of villages called Bagrawiyah (). This city was the capital of the Kingdom of Kush for several centuries from around 590 BC, until its collapse in the 4th century AD. The Kushitic Kingdom of Meroë gave its name to the "Island of Meroë", which was the modern region of Butana, a region bounded by the Nile (from the Atbarah River to Khartoum), the Atbarah and the Blue Nile.

AI overview

Meroë was an ancient city in Sudan that served as the capital of the Kingdom of Kush from around 590 BC until the 4th century AD. It is historically significant because it was a major center of a major ancient African kingdom and gave its name to an entire region of northeastern Africa.
