Tune in to this fascinating look at one of the longest empires in all of Civilizations in Review history: The Kerma Kingdom! Known for its trading prowess of luxury goods such as gold, ebony, incense, and animals, the Kerma Kingdom lasted over 2,000 years. Located now in modern-day Sudan, this empire is credited for the creation of the modern drinking fountain, intricate pottery-making techniques, the first to use elephants in military combat, and the usage of large royal tombs called deffufas.
