	Nubia - Crystalinks
		Between 543 and 575 these three kingdoms were converted to Christianity by the work of Julian, a missionary who proselytized among the Nobatia (543-545), and his successor Longinus, who between 569 and 575 consolidated the work of Julian in Nobatia and even carried Christianity to 'Alwah in the south.
		Thenceforward, the Funj kings were but puppets of their viziers (chief ministers), whose struggles to win and to keep control precipitated the kingdom into steady decline, interrupted by only infrequent periods of peace and stability established by a strong vizier who was able to overcome his rivals.
		During its last half century the Funj kingdom was a spent state, kept intact only through want of a rival, but gradually disintegrating through wars, intrigue, and conspiracy, until the Egyptians advanced on Sennar in 1821 and pushed the Funj empire into oblivion.

		Unlike private Kushite burials, Kashta and his royal successors adopted for themselves a royal burial style in keeping with Egyptian kings, i.e., corpse extended, mummified, placed in an anthropoid coffin, and accompanied by the usual paraphernalia of canopic jars, ushabties, and amulets--all of Egyptian manufacture.
		The principalities and kingdoms of Phoenicia, Israel, Judah and Philistia (i.e., the territories adjoining the Egyptian frontier) were suzerain to the Assyrians, albeit contentious and rebellious against them.
		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.

		This Kushite reign in Egypt is known to historians as Dynasty XXV From 751 to 656 B.C., the men from the south ruled Egypt's Upper and Lower Kingdoms.
		When, for example, the Kushite king Sahura modeled a victory stele on one raised by Pharaoh Pepy II 2,000 years earlier, he was showing that he knew the efficacy of having a little solid history behind him - but history of which he was the proud and legitimate heir.
		By 270 B.C., nevertheless, the Kushites were on the defensive; this, apparently, is why they moved their capital south to Meroe, where the kingdom survived until that city fell in A.D. For archeology the fascination of the story of Kush derives from the mixture of African and Egyptian influences.

		Because Piye, his successors, and the Kushite leadership were so heavily Egyptianized, they saw themselves as the rightful and legitimate heirs of traditional Egyptian society and civilization.
		Ideally, the Kushites did not view themselves as foreign invaders, but as restorers of order, reuniting the Two Lands in the same manner as the pharaohs of old.
		Clearly, with their own self-interests in mind, the Kushites were only desirous of creating a political system in which they could superimpose their overlordship upon a series of petty kings, chiefs and governors.
