King Nastasen, the latest hero portrait for the Kushites, by Sundiata (Malcolm Quartey).

Nastasen Ankhkhare was a late Napatan Period ruler of the Kingdom of Kush (Sudan), ruled c. 335 B.C. - 315/310 B.C. He is noted for defeating an Upper Egyptian invasion of Kush by Khabbash "taking many fine boats" and putting down many rebellions, thereby consolidating King Harsiotef's earlier conquests.

Stan` (Stanislas Dolcini) recently gave an interview about 0 A.D. at the French association Picasoft for a podcast called "La voix est libre". The interview was in French, so he went to through the trouble to provide us with a translated transcript for all of us English speaking folks.
