Naqaとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Naqa or Naga'a (Arabic: ‏النقعة‎ an-Naqʿa) is a ruined ancient city of the Kushitic Kingdom of Meroë in modern-day Sudan. The ancient city lies about 170 kilometers north-east of Khartoum and about 50 kilometers east of the Nile River. Here smaller wadis meet the Wadi Awateib coming from the center of the Butana plateau region and further north at Wad ban Naqa from where it joins the Nile. Naqa was only a camel or donkey's journey from the Nile, and could serve as a trading station on the way to the east so had strategic importance.
