Nubia Lost Kingdoms of the Nile

Pan Grave (2200 – 1700 B.C.)
• Pan Grave people had much in common with the A and C-group, but were
well-known for being skilled bowmen and warriors.
• Egyptian kings took notice of their archery skills and actually hired them as
soldiers in exchange for land in Egypt on which to live with their families.
• They were often buried with weapons and cow skulls painted with battle
scenes.
• Pan Grave people had a unique grave style. Early archaeologists named this
group “Pan Grave” because their shallow, round graves resembled frying pans.
