Place: Napata was a city-state of ancient Nubia on the west bank of the Nile at the site of modern Karima, Sudan.
Napata was founded by Thutmose III in the 15th century BC after his conquest of Nubia. The nearby Jebel Barkal was taken to mark the southern border of the New Kingdom of Egypt. [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napata, JD 14/03/2019]
