	Funj (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Funj was a former sultanate in the north of Sudan, which ruled a substantial area of northeast Africa between 1504-1821.
		Funj declined from the 18th century onwards, divided politically and dependent on a large but unreliable army of slaves.
		In 1821 the Ottoman viceroy of Egypt, Muhammad Ali, led an army into Funj; he encountered no resistance from the last king, whose realm was promptly absorbed into Ottoman Egypt.

		The Arab viziers gradually absorbed all power, the Funj sovereignty becoming nominal; and in 1821 the Egyptians easily destroyed the Funj domination.

		The move alienated the dynasty from the Funj warrior aristocracy, which in 1718 deposed the reigning mek and placed one of their own ranks on the throne of Sannar.
