	Civilizations in Africa: Kush
		The Kushites by and large considered themselves to be Egyptians and the proper inheritors of the pharoanic titles and tradition.
		The Napatan kings formed the twenty-fifth pharaonic dyansty in the eighth century; this dynasty came to an end with the Assyrian invasion of Egypt in the seventh century BC.
		When Napata was conquered in 591, the Kushites moved their capital to Meroe right in the heart of the Kushite kingdom.

		Thereafter, the Kushites began to absorb into their domain all the Egyptian installations, towns and forts of Lower Nubia, including the Egyptian residents of Buhen and Mirgissa who were left behind in the Egyptian pull-out.
		Kushite hegemony in Lower Nubia and her previous friendship with the Hyksos made her an obvious threat to Egyptian security, and Egypt would not tolerate a potential enemy in the Nile Basin.
		In the end, the Kushites were unable to withstand the combination of Assyrian might and the overweening ambition of the Saites, the latter which in the end perhaps surprised even the Assyrians.

	Brazzil - Brazil 24/7 :: View topic - 701 BC...Hebrews, Kushites, and Assyrians
		These Kushites figured in historical texts, Aubin continues, until the late 19th century, when racist scholars expunged them from the record--a process that, Aubin observes, coincided with the European conquest and colonization of Africa.
		The Kushite intervention assured the survival of the Hebrew people, Aubin asserts, and it deserves to be acknowledged anew.
		Aubin argues that the Kushite rescue of Jerusalem from certain annihilation in 701 B.C.E. instigated the Jewish concept of being God's "elect" and was therefore a seminal event in the development of Zionism.

		The Kushites, under their leader Piankhy (aka Piy), took advantage of Gebel Barkal's venerable past, Piankhy even proclaiming himself to be Thutmose III reincarnated.

		The Nile Valley, northwards to the Delta, the mediterranean sea as far as India were the Kushites frontiers added by conquest, and these cultures were influenced by the Kushites culture, religion, and philosophy.

		In the past, Kushite civilization was sometimes made out to be nothing more than a copy of Egyptian ideas, but it was indeed Egypt's rival in Africa.[[5]] The Afro-centric approach has also been replaced by one which values Kushite/Nubian civilisation in its own right.
		Kushite civilisation is very old and has produced some of the world's oldest pottery (6000 BCE).
		(4) Religion: The Kushites worshipped traditional Egyptian deities like Amen (some scholars are of the opinion that the tradition of the ram-headed Amen had its origin in Nubia) and Isis, but a fully indigenous Kushite god is the wargod Apedemak, depicted with the head of a lion in his Kushite iconography.

		The Hyksos had superior weapons like the composite bow, which was a bow made of different kinds of woods, the bronze sword, and the horse drawn chariot which Egypt harnessed when the Hyksos were driven out.
		When Egypt began to weaken the Kushite ruler Kahta recognized their weakening, and by 750 B.C.E. he had captured Upper Egypt (the southern part) and its capital Thebes.

		In reality, Kushites were never on the Red Sea coast, they were never in the South of the Arabian peninsula, and we do not know the details of their gradual penetration in the south of Sudan/Ethiopia, that is the area of modern Abyssinia, and in the Horn of Africa.
		Never did the Kushites / Meroites acquire significance as cultural element in the Abyssinian plateau; culture and civilization on the plateau are preponderantly the result of Abyssinian, Yemenite, Semitic endeavours, at both the Christian and the Pre-Christian levels.
		Sentences like “Kushites were originally settled in Mesopotamia and Sumerians were just one of their tribes” are just proof of Nazi-like manipulation of historical truth for perverted visions.

	Abstract 08/11/03 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Kushites of the 25th Dynasty built a series of temples and chapels in many parts of their double kingdom of Egypt and Nubia, which include many small-scale temples as well as major temples like B.500 at Gebel Barkal and Temple T at Kawa.
		This fact itself may explain the Kushite strategy of building temples, and the numerousness of the Kushite temples/chapels probably indicates that religious monuments were as important for the Kushite state organisation as for the Egyptian one in their prime.
		Therefore, wherever in the country remains of Kushite religious monuments are found, the places could perhaps be regarded as some kind of centres (either national or regional) of the Kushite state organisation.
