		O king, you are a King of kings: For the God of heaven has given you a kingdom, riches, strength, and majesty: And has delivered you all things, that are among the children of men: the beasts of the field, and the fowls under heaven, and given you dominion over them all.
		Whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of earth and part of iron: that is a divided kingdom, which nevertheless shall have some of the iron ground mixed with it, for so much as you have seen the iron mixed with the clay.

	Sudanarchaeology
		Archaeologists are only at the very beginning of the study of the first great kingdom of Sudan at Kerma (c.2500-1500 BCE), the Kushite/Meroitic Empire (c.800 BCE-350 CE), the prosperous medieval Nubian kingdoms and the great Sultanates of Funj Sennar and Darfur of the post-medieval period.
		The era of the Christian Nubian kingdoms is traditionally seen as over by about 1500, with a new power (the Funj Sultanate) emerging along the Blue Nile, centred on Sennar, with areas further north gradually becoming more Arabised.
		The experience of the far north was rather different, as during the 16th century, most of Lower Nubia was controlled by Ottoman Egypt, who extended their rule as far south as the Third Cataract in the 1580s.

		It could be said that the kingdom lived by flies, which were at once the greatest curse of its nomad herdsmen and a main foundation of its rulers' authority and wealth.
		The flies attacked these animals to suck their blood and infected them with a disease, so that the "body, head, and legs swell out into huge bosses which break and putrefy, to the certain destruction of the creature." To escape this, the tribesmen were forced to leave these lands and head into the desert.
		What he had to say about feasts of raw meat, chieftains draped in ox-guts, burning purple winds, the official king-killer of Sennar, and at least a dozen other things which no one in the rational eighteenth century had thought of imagining seemed, from the first, too much to be swallowed.
