A Kushite King By The Name Of Nastase
Once Creasman arrived in Nuri, he wanted to check out the tomb of a Kushite king called Nastase. He ruled from 335 B.C. to 315 B.C. The ruler was the final person to have a tomb there, so he wound up with the worst plot of land in the area. We are glad that this did not put off the archaeologist. He instead saw the opportunity to study this burial spot. It was ideal for determining how waterlogged the rest of the structures in the area were.

The reign of Nastasen took place near the last days of the Napatan culture. The center of power in Nubia shifted not long after he passed on the throne to Meroë. This development led to turmoil between the Napatan house and other royals vying for control over Kush. This conflict made for quite the contrast with the reign of Nastase. During his time in power, his influence over the huge region was strong.
