this is only proof of the actually meaning of the name candace which is a title. http://www.behindthename.com/name/candace

it is actually in the book of acts in the christian bible.

King Ezana Stele in Aksum Ethiopia probably builted around the 4 or early AD, this is the period in ethiopia when they converted to christianity before most european countries, the only countries they became majority christian during that time was probably, armenia, greece, maybe egypt and rome. however, i think egypt and ethiopia became christian nearly the same time, and i understand nubia later followed during the 5th century.

inside temple of mut jebel barkal mountian in northern sudan

meroitic, nubian, candace or queen of the divine cushites.

royal throne hall builded during the christian period and later converted to a mosque during the 14th or 15th century.

this is my favorite simple glass ware during the meroitic period between bc and AD during the greco-roman period. Items such as these is more timeless than the pyramids in sudan and egypt themselves. it looks so model, but it ancient.

this hieogyphics was builted at the temple of buhen in northern sudan by queen hatshepsut.

Buhen temple in the khartoum national museum in sudan.

amenirdis "wife of amun"
