The Lost Kingdom of Kush
On the dusty banks of the Nile River in central Sudan, archaeologists digging in the “city of the dead†at Sedeinga recently found a huge trove of inscriptions in Meroitic, the earliest written language of Sub-Saharan Africa. Examples of Meroitic are relatively rare, so the find represents a great new opportunity for linguistic study. A handful of archaeological sites and the written language are all that remains of the Kingdom of Kush, located in what is now Sudan.
