Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - Considered the war god of Kush, Apedemak was worshiped in ancient Meroe, a once magnificent and wealthy capital of the kingdom of Kush in Nubia, present-day Sudan.
Today, few ancient remains of the stunning buildings built by the Meroitics remain, but archaeologists have confirmed that the tall, slender pyramids, paintings, writing scripts, and other artistic and cultural forms made by the Nubian people were in the Egyptian style.
Three Kushite kingdoms dominated Nubia for over 3,000 years, with capitals in Kerma, Napata, and Meroe.
The ancient kingdom of Kush was very powerful and a rival to Egypt, yet there were many similarities between the two civilizations.
