No, Meroe was the captial of the country Kush, in what is now Sudan, during the time of the Pharohs. Egypt and Kush traded a lot.

Towards the end of the Pharohic period, the end of the New Kingdom, this civilization even took over at least part of Egypt for about 100 years.

Why the connection between Meroe and Merovignian is something like being six degrees away from Kevin Bacon.

Meroe>land of Kush. Merovingnian>Land of the Franks.

Frank Kush was the retired football coach for Arizona State providing a very tight connection between the Frank lands and Kush.

Isn’t that eerie?

Viola!
