The historical backstory of the agency’s name, inspired by The Kandaka
Kandake, kadake or kentake (Meroitic: 𐦲𐦷𐦲𐦡 kdke), was the Meroitic term for the sister of the king of Kush who, held a prominent secular role as regent.
The Kandakes, or Candaces, were powerful and influential queens and queen mothers of the ancient African Kingdom of Kush, strategically located at the confluence of the Blue Nile, White Nile, and River Atbara in present-day Sudan.
Ruling from the wealthy and culturally rich capital of Meroe, these formidable warrior queens wielded absolute authority over modern-day Ethiopia, Sudan, and parts of Egypt.
Their strategic influence extended beyond governance as they groomed their sons for rulership, engaged in farming, and traded with the Greeks.
Additionally, they led armies into battle, demonstrating their prowess as warriors.
Their impressive legacy includes the construction of pyramids, showcasing the advanced civilization and enduring impact of the Kingdom of Kush.
