[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] [b]Archaeological Evidence Shows some Meriotic Influence may have ranged down into Central Africa. The move of the Sahara southward obscures cultures once farther north- Quote:[/b] "Further south in Roseires area, Chattaway reported a number of sites, which might be of interest to this question after the exploration (Chattaway 1930: 259-264).. The most recent discoveries of datable sites and objects south of Khartoum suggest the presence of Napatans and Meroites along the Blue and White Niles, probably south of Kosti (Eisa 1987: 155-162; 1990). Such presence is also attested by the discoveries of the Wellcome Expeditions to the Sennar area (Gebel Moya, Abu Geili village and recently the objects found near Grisly village), and by the site and objects of El Getina (site of Mahmoud El Araki). The study of those objects as well as pottery sherds and bricks showed the strong probability of their Napatan and Meroitic affinities. Some other sites between El Getaina and El Kawa could be identified (Ni'ma, Wad el Zaki, Hashaba.. etc). Near the town of El Kawa we have the site of Hilat Said, where golden objects were found which date most probably to the Napatan period (the inscription says: Imn-r df nh mj r - "God Amun Re gives life like Re', which seems to be a life-scarab) (Eisa 1994). Another scarab was found in Kosti town which may be of the same data as that of Kawa (Arkell 1961: 136-7). South of Kosti the investigations of Else Kleppe showed the presence of archaeological material o a different nature (of probably Meroitic date) (in El Rank area, Upper Nile province; Kleppe 1982a; 1982) as well as in the western Sudan.. So it seems that the White Nile was the route of penetration of the Kushites to these southern regions and the interior of Central Africa." --Steffen Wenig (1992). Studien zum antiken Sudan.
