Archaeological sites and ancient remains this atlas records as belonging to Sub-Saharan Africa: Aksum, capital of the ancient Kingdom of Aksum in Ethiopia, and Meroe, capital of the Kingdom of Kush on the Nile in Sudan. Kept standing as its own group despite its small size because this subcategory's own report names Sub-Saharan Africa explicitly as one of its proposed regions, a real geographic category rather than an invented one. Belongs here: any ancient site this subcategory records as belonging to Sub-Saharan Africa. Does not belong here: a site belonging to North Africa, gathered under this subcategory's own Near East, Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt and North Africa group instead.
