translate English to German: The Kushitic Kingdom of Meroë gave its name to the "Island of Meroë", which was the modern region of Butana, a region bounded by the Nile (from the Atbarah River to Khartoum), the Atbarah, Ethiopia, and the Blue Nile. The city of Meroë was on the edge of Butana and there were two other Meroitic cities in Butana, Musawwarat es-Sufra and Naqa.
Das Reich erstreckte sich von der großen Nilkrümmung in Nubien bis an die abessinischen Berge und wurde um 350 n. Chr. zerstört.
