Kerma: The Ancient African Kingdom

Kerma was the capital of one of the earliest Kingdoms in Africa and is a huge display of a unique and rich culture. The Kerma region is in the center of the Nubian Civilization, and spanned from the first to the sixth Nile cataracts and was located in present day Northern Sudan and Southern Egypt. Kerma Kingdom was established in around 2500 BCE, a couple of centuries after ancient Egypt. The City at it's peak rivalled the neighboring Kingdom of Egypt in it's extension. Their relations were always bittersweet as they experienced great moments where they traded and exchanged a lot of culture, while at other times, the Kingdoms went to war with each other.

Kerma is a very important civilization in the world, though very little is known about it.
