Pharaoh of the two lands

The African epic of the Napata kings

In the 8th century BC, a kingdom was organized in Nubia around its capital Napata. Around 730 BC, the ruler Piânkhi set out to conquer Egypt, inaugurating the dynasty of the Kushite pharaohs. His successors, pharaohs of the 25th dynasty, reigned for over fifty years over a kingdom stretching from the Nile Delta to the confluence of the White and Blue Niles. The best-known of them is Taharqa.

The exhibition highlights the key role played by this vast kingdom, located in what is now northern Sudan. It is linked to the Musée du Louvre's archaeological mission in Sudan, which for 10 years has concentrated its research on the site of Mouweis, and will continue today at El-Hassa, 30 km further north and not far from the pyramids of Meroe.
