The city of Meroe was the capital of the Kush. The city was conquered by the Aksumites about 330 CE.
Meroe and Egypt were both ancient civilizations located along the Nile River, but they had distinct cultural and political characteristics. Meroe was the capital of the Kingdom of Kush, which emerged as a powerful rival to Egypt, especially during the 25th Dynasty when Kushite pharaohs ruled Egypt. While Egypt is known for its monumental architecture like the pyramids and a pantheon of gods, Meroe is notable for its unique pyramids, iron production, and distinct art styles. Additionally, the Kushites practiced a different form of governance and had a more decentralized political structure compared to the highly centralized pharaonic system of Egypt.
Kush moves to capital Meroe about 540 B.C.
Meroe was in a good location because there were iron so they could make weapons out of it.
