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 didn't 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 Napoleon's expedition to Egypt in 1798. Even then, it was seen as a part of Egyptian culture. The discoveries made by the 18th and 19thcentury 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 TwentyFifth 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 as Nubia and the Emergence of the Kingdom of Kush From Alara to the TwentyFifth Dynasty The Rulers of the TwentyFifth Dynasty Relations between Kush and Egypt Continue Kush between the 6th and 3rd Centuries The Meroitic Dynasty The Last Centuries of the Kingdom of Kush The Society of Kush And much, much more!So if you want to learn more about the Kingdom of Kush, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!
