Kerma was also closely related to Group C. Group C was a group of people in ancient Nubia. George A. Reisner named it. There isn't any evidence about what these people called themselves.

They devoted a great deal of energy and resourses for royal burials- like the Egyptians. The great part was that the mounds they buried the kings in were as big as football fields. When they buried kings’ bodies they rested on top of gold-covered beds surrounded by jewelry, gold, and ivory. They became weathy from controlling trade between Central Africa and Eygpt. Their weath also came from the highly prized, delicate pottery. These items were made by Kerma artisans and have been found in the tombs of the pharaohs. >             > > > >  <span style="font-family: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">**__Conflict with Egypt__** >   <span style="color: rgb(185,87,45);"><span style="color: rgb(163,25,25);"><span style="color: rgb(181,28,28);"><span style="color: rgb(60,166,211);"><span style="color: rgb(0,0,0);"><span style="color: rgb(238,19,246);">  <span style="font-family: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">After the Kushites, the Egyptains reclaimed control of the area, and then Pharaoh Thutmose I (the 13th king of the 18th dynasty) sent his soliders into Nubia. Finally the Egyptains took control of Nubia far south as the fourth cataract. The war lasted about 50 years and then at last Egypt won. Kerma had control of Egypt for 700 years. Along the time the Nubians worshiped the Eygptains gods and their own, but the people and goods passed through Nubia and Egypt. Soon the cultures merged. >          <span style="font-family: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif;">[|The Kerma Culture]   <span style="font-family: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> <span style="color: rgb(187,197,73);">
