The land between the Nile and Atbara rivers in present-day Sudan was the heartland of the Kingdom of Kush, a major power from the 8th century BCE to the 4th century CE. Its rulers governed Egypt for close to a century. From the 3rd century BCE, Meroë was the royal city and the main royal burial place, with pyramids, temples, palaces and water-management works. Kush exchanged art, architecture, religion and language with the Mediterranean world and inner Africa.
