Qustul
Qustul is an archaeological site in Lower Nubia, on the Nile near the modern border between Egypt and Sudan, now under Lake Nasser. Its Cemetery L held large A-Group tombs of the late 4th millennium BCE with Egyptian goods, including an incense burner with royal imagery that some scholars took as evidence of early Nubian kingship. Later it held royal tombs of the Nobadian kingdom.
