About 700 years before Christ, B.C., the land of Kemet (Egypt) was ruled by
Nubian Kings along with the land of Kush. Kashta and Piye (Piankhy), father
and son kings of Kush, helped to create a united country that consisted of
Kush (in today’s Sudan) and, first Upper Kemet, then all of Kemet.
In particular King Piankhy established rule and set up governance of this
new kingdom, from his home base in Napata in today’s Sudan.
