Amanirenas

Everyone knows about Egypt and Rome. Almost no one tells kids about the queen who stood up to the Roman Empire.

About 2,000 years ago, in the land of Kush, along the Nile in what is now Sudan, ruled a powerful queen named Amanirenas. When the mighty Roman Empire pushed south from Egypt, she led her people, famous for their archers, in defending their land. Follow her true story, from the pyramids of Meroë to the peace talks that kept Kush independent, in a tale that archaeologists are still uncovering today.
