The Kingdom of Kush: A Captivating Guide to an Ancient African Kingdom in Nubia That Once Ruled Egypt

If you want to discover the captivating history of the Kingdom of Kush then keep reading...The Kingdom of Kush was completely forgotten once it met its end. The stories of its might didnt survive in the cultures of its successor kingdoms possibly because Christianization soon followed which required the people of the Nubian region to turn toward the east and the myths of the Christian messiah. There was no more room for the divine rulers Amun and Re or a place for their sons the kings of Kush. The kingdom continued to exist in the stories of some classical writers but it was often considered as nothing more than a distant probably even imaginary kingdom where the uncivilized savages lived.With the renewed interest in the classical arts of Greece and Rome the Renaissance rediscovered the existence of Kush. Still it was not explored until Napoleons expedition to Egypt in 1798. Even then it was seen as a part of Egyptian culture. The discoveries made by the 18th- and 19th-century explorers proved there were in fact two separate cultures. However this explanation was greatly influenced by Darwinism. Scholars presented the entirety of Africa as a place where civilized white men ruled over the uncivilized negroes. Kush was no exception to them and the general opinion was that Egypt ruled over the uncivilized Kushites. Even the rule of the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty was observed as nothing more than the less fortunate Kushites imitating the superior Egyptians.It was not until the early 20th century that the Kingdom of Kush received its rightful place in history. When the first archaeological survey of Nubia took place between 1907 and 1911 the distinctive cultural aspects of the Kingdom of Kush emerged and it was finally seen as a separate entity from Egypt.In The Kingdom of Kush: A Captivating Guide to an Ancient African Kingdom in Nubia That Once Ruled Egypt you will discover topics such asNubia and the Emergence of the Kingdom of KushFrom Alara to the Twenty-Fifth DynastyThe Rulers of the Twenty-Fifth DynastyRelations between Kush and Egypt ContinueKush between the 6th and 3rd CenturiesThe Meroitic DynastyThe Last Centuries of the Kingdom of KushThe Society of KushAnd much much more!So if you want to learn more about the Kingdom of Kush scroll up and click the add to cart button!
