		Kush's position athwart the trade routes from Egypt to the Red Sea, and from the Nile to the south and west, brought considerable wealth from far-off places.

		The subsequent history of Kush is one of gradual decay, ending with inglorious extinction in AD 350 by the king of Aksum, who marched down from the Ethiopian highlands, destroyed Meroe, and sacked the decrepit towns along the river.

		The scholarly literature on Kush is immense, but until now the general reader has had no access to convenient and up-to-date summaries of the archaeology and history of this ancient civilization.
		The only failing of The Kingdom of Kush is that Welsby gives the Meroitic period—when Kush was smaller than it was during the 25th Dynasty, but nonetheless a substantial kingdom—somewhat short shrift.
