Crown of Nubian King
This crown belonged to a Nubian King who ruled between the collapse of the Meroitic dynasty in 350 AD and the founding of the Christian Kingdom in 600 AD. It was found in tomb 118 in Ballana in lower Nubia by a British Eygptologist. This source connects to the Northeastern African segment of our class, focusing on Nubia. Egypt colonized Nubia because of its resources like timber, gold, and copper. Also human resources that would be utilized for military purposes. Nubia was located along the Nile River. Crowns like these would be buried in the tomb with the King when they pass.
