What does the 25th Dynasty of Egypt (700s-600s BC), have to do with the Kingdom of Kerma (ends c.1000 BC)? Yes they were from Nubia, but they can't have been from the by-then-abandoned Kerma. Furius ( talk) 03:42, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
Need to fix the age. According to Geoff Emberling, by 2000 BCE "the city of Kerma itself was a large urban center built around an imposing mud-brick temple complex known as the Western Deffufa." This would just replace the 9000 year old figure, which was confusing. Uses the same source. Dougweller ( talk) 13:21, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
"After the sacking of Kerma, the cemetery was used to host the kings of Napatan Kush from Upper (Southern) Nubia." I doubt it's correct. Can anybody confirm that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Titus Atomicus ( talk • contribs) 16:05, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

In the second paragraph under "Bioarchaeology", there seems to be a personal argument on the topic of human sacrifice (use of the first-person pronoun, and more.) Not sure how to edit: should this paragraph just be deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30A:C05D:2B90:B529:E2A4:5837:EC3C ( talk) 02:00, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus to move the page at this time, per the discussion below. For reference, the other discussion mentioned in the request resulted in restoring the Kerma culture title of the other page. Dekimasu よ! 02:50, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
