The excavations conducted at the site between 1928 and 1931 revealed one of the cemeteries of Lower Nubia known as the Ballana and Qustul Culture or the X-Group. The tombs may have belonged to several kings, queens, and nobles of “Nobatia”, one of the Nubian kingdoms that flourished after the fall of the Kingdom of Meroe, but before the rise of the Christian kingdoms of Nubia between 350 and 600 AD. The tombs were distinguished by their pure Nubian origins and contents, in addition to many objects that were imported from Byzantine Egypt or the Mediterranean which indicated their relation with the Byzantine world before the spread of Christianity.A crown made of silver and precious stones, probably for one of the kings of the Kingdom of "Nobatia".displayed in the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo, Egypt.
