Kurgus
Kanisah Kurgus (also known as Kurgus or Kanisa-Kurgus) is an archaeological site in Sudan, located on the east bank of the Nile between the Fourth and Fifth cataracts, near Abu Hamed. The area is part of the modern day town Al Kanisah. The site contains Hagar el-Merwa, an Ancient Egyptian rock art site with inscriptions (boundary stelae) from the reign of Thutmose I and Thutmose III. This site marks the southern border on the Nile of Ancient Egypt during their reigns. The inscription on the rock reads: ''Kurgus'' means "yellow" in modern Nubian, and the name likely refers to the yellow sandstone of the region.
