	Aspelta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aspelta was a ruler of the kingdom of Kush (c.
		According to his inscriptions, Aspelta was selected as ruler by a committee of twenty-four religious and military leaders.
		Aspelta's tomb at Nuri was excavated by George A. Reisner in 1916 and many items were discovered, most of which are now in Boston.

		Aspelta's armies were defeated; the holy city of Napata was attacked and burned; and Aspelta fled to his southern capital Meroe, which henceforth became the chief royal residence of Kush.
		Aspelta is shown kneeling in front of the god Amun, who puts his hand on the king's head to indicate that he is his choice to be ruler.
		Aspelta had early political problems, for an inscription dated to "year 2" of his reign, is an edict sentencing to death several priests for committing a crime that could only be described indirectly.

	Kush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 591 BC the Egyptians under Psammetik II invaded Kush, perhaps because Kush ruler Aspelta was preparing to invade Egypt, and sacked Napata before withdrawing north.
		It is clear from the records that Aspelta's successors had their capital at Meroe, considerably farther south than Napata.
		The exact date this change was made is uncertain but some historians believe it was during Aspelta's reign, in response to the Egyptian invasion of Lower Nubia.

		Anlamani (623–593) campaigned against the nomadic Blemmyes and was succeeded by Aspelta (593–568).
		In 591, Psamtek II (595–589) invaded Kush and captured Napata (See 747–656), and Aspelta moved the capital south to Meroë, near the Sixth Cataract.
		B.C.E. Meroë became the political capital, but Meroitic rulers continued to be buried at Napata (which was recaptured) to the end of the fourth century.

	Egypt: The Nubian Pyramids
		Aspelta's in particular weighed 15.5 tons and had a lit weighing four tons, carved with Pyramid Texts, chapters form the Book of the Dead, and depicting various Egyptian gods.
		No evidence has really surfaced about why this transfer was made, though there is some speculation that the Meroe may have slowly gained importance beginning as early as 590 BC, after Psamtik II campaigned in northern Nubia.
		He may have defeated King Aspelta's army and marched on Napata, but much of this is very uncertain.

		Early in his reign Aspelta seems to have thought about a re-invasion of Egypt.
		He defeated a Nubian force and went on to attack the "town called the Cliff," which was probably Napata and Jebel Barkal.
		After this event, in 593 BCE, Aspelta moved his court further south to Meroë.

	MEROITIC CHRONOLOGY: PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS
		The succession of the terms of government and thus the reigns of the first nine rulers (from Kashta to Anlamani) can in the main be accepted as reliable.
		Aspelta is generally recognized as a contemporary of the invasion waged by Psametichos II (591 B.C.= third year of government of Psametichos II = second year of government of Aspelta who accordingly reigned from 593 to 568 B.C.).
		From Aspelta to Harsiyotef (according to Hintze from 568 to 369 B.C.) there are only slight deviations in the estimated dates of the different systems of cgronology; the succession of the pyramids and also of the rulers and their terms of government can be accepted as rather secure.

		Thus in 593 BC, with an army composed largely of Greek and Carian mercenaries, the pharaoh Psammeticus II invaded Kush, met and destroyed a Kushite army at the Third Cataract, and marched on unopposed to Napata, finally sacking and burning the city and destroying the palace and Gebel Barkal sanctuary.

		The 250 year period in Nubia following the Kushite occupation of Egypt has traditionally been known as the "Napatan Period," since it used to be thought that during this period the capital of the kingdom lay at Napata, beside Gebel Barkal.

		The current king of Kush, Anlamani, moved an army between the First and Second Cataracts; Psammetich waited until a new king, Aspelta (593-568) succeeded Anlamani, and then sent an expedition up the Nile in 590 that sacked Napata.
		As a result, Aspelta moved his capital to Meroë, beyond the fifth cataract, and there it stayed for the rest of Kush's history.
		In 560 B.C. Cyprus became a vassal state, yet even during this "Indian summer" Egypt was too weak to effectively challenge the current ruler of the Middle East, the Babylonian Empire.
