Napata was the earlier capital of the kingdom of Kush, located in modern-day Sudan, while Meroe succeeded it as the capital. Napata was closer to Egypt, more influenced by Egyptian culture, and focused on trade, while Meroe was more independent, had a stronger iron industry, and produced distinctively fine pottery.
The people of Meroe used iron by making weapons and tools. Iron plows allowed them to produce generous supplies of food. The weapons allowed them to control trade routs that ran all the way through the Red Sea.
Meroe was in a good location because there were iron so they could make weapons out of it.
