Yes, around 540 BC, the rulers of Kush moved their capital from Napata to Meroe. This shift was likely influenced by Meroe's strategic location for trade and resources, as well as its more defensible position. Meroe became an important center for culture and commerce, marked by its distinctive pyramids and iron production. The move signified a new phase in Kushite history, emphasizing its growing power and influence in the region.
