Some items made from the artisans of Kerma were found in the tombs of pharaohs.  Kerma is found near Upper Nubia. It is between the third and fourth cataract. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> During the time of The Kerma Culture the Kushites buried their kings in interesting ways. They started with a bed made of glistening gold. The land on which they buried their kings on was the size of a full length football field. On top of that, they surrounded their wealthy kings with jewels, gold, and ivory. If you are wondering what ivory is, it is a color like beige but only lighter. It is WAS used for piano keys but it is now illegal to have the United States.
