Egyptian Invasion of Kerma
Egyptian invasion of Kerma (Sudan) in 1504 BC
Between 1575 and 1550 BC, the Kerma Kingdom posed a major threat to Ancient Egypt. According to inscriptions from tomb of Egyptian governor Sobeknakht II at Nekheb, Kerma forces invaded deep into Egyptian territory during this period. In 1504 BC, Thutmose I saw the need to counter this growing danger and obtain Nubia’s rich resources, especially gold.
