Meroë

Meroë (/ˈmɛr/; also spelled Meroe;Meroitic: Medewi or Bedewi; Arabic: مرواه Meruwah and مروى Meruwi; Ancient Greek: Μερόη, Meróē) is an ancient city on the east bank of the Nile about 6 km north-east of the Kabushiya station near Shendi, Sudan, approximately 200 km north-east of Khartoum. Near the site are a group of villages called Bagrawiyah. This city was the capital of the Kingdom of Kush for several centuries. The Kushitic Kingdom of Meroë gave its name to the Island of Meroë, which was the modern region of Butana, a region bounded by the Nile (from the Atbarah River to Khartoum), the Atbarah and the Blue Nile.

The city of Meroë was on the edge of Butana and there were two other Meroitic cities in Butana, Musawwarat es-Sufra and Naqa. The first of these sites was given the name Meroë by the Persian king, Cambyses, in honor of his sister who was called by that name. The city had originally borne the ancient appellation Saba, named after the country's original founder. The presence of numerous Meroitic sites within the western Butana region and on the border of Butana proper is significant to the settlement of the core of the developed region. The orientation of these settlements exhibit the exercise of state power over subsistence production.

    Mero was a British musical duo founded in 1999 by Simon Cowell. It was axed a few months later, as Cowell and RCA Records gave the girl band Girl Thing, priority over Mero.

    Their lead singer, D-Mac (real name Derek McDonald), wrote Mero's only hit, "It Must Be Love", at the age of fifteen, although he was seventeen at the time of Mero's short period of fame. The other band member was Tommy Clark. "It Must Be Love" peaked at #33 in the UK Singles Chart in March 2000.
