Answer: Kush

Explanation: Kush was a kingdom, located in present day Sudan. The pharaohs formed the Kingdom of Kush to escape the constant attacks on Egypt.

The capital city was Meroe, which started as a site for burying the dead in the 8th Century B.C. The capital was later moved to Napata, when Meroe ran out of space and Kush became a refuge for the kings of Egypt.

Kush Kingdom lasted until the 3rd Century A.D. when it was invaded by the kingdom of Axum.
