"So...where were we?"
"Haven't the faintest...oh. Yes. We were on the Lost Island of Kerma, making our way toward the giant gemstone of power. Figuratively speaking, of course."

―Christophe-Julien de Rapièr and Jack Sparrow

Kerma was an island in the Atlantic Ocean, located off the coast of West Africa, between the Cape Verdes and the Canary Islands. The island was inhabited by the descendants of the Egyptians and ruled by pharaohs.

History

"In return for the bearings to Kerma, and you must verify that they're correct, I'll cut you in for ten percent of the gold we find there."

―Cutler Beckett to Jack Sparrow

1300 years BC, the Egyptians from Kush have been ordered by their god Apedemak to take their most sacred item, the green gemstone, and to find the new homland. They traveled across the desert to the West, until they reached the Atlantic Ocean. They built ships and sailed into the unknown, until they found an uninhabited island. They settled on the island, which they named Kerma, in honor of the old capital of Kush, the city of Kerma.
