Book
The Kingdom of Kush
The Kingdom of Kush explores the Nubian state that flourished along the Nile south of Egypt and at times became a major regional power. It follows Kushite centres at Napata and Meroë, trade networks, religion, kingship and military strength, including the period when Kushite rulers conquered Egypt and founded the Twenty-fifth Dynasty. The book also examines the kingdom’s distinctive pyramids, iron production and long interaction with Egypt and the Mediterranean world.
