The individual character of Kingdom of Kush has often been overshadowed by the overwhelming cultural presence of its neighbour Egypt. This handbook in our series "Handbuch der Orientalistik/Handbook of Oriental Studies" for the first time presents a comprehensive survey of the rich textual, archaeological and art historical evidence for this Middle Nile Region Kingdom of Kush. Basing itself both on the evidence and scholarly literature, this work discusses the emergence of the native state of Kush (after the Pharaonic domination in the 11th century B.C.), the rule of the Kings of Kush in Egypt (c. 760-656) and the intellectual foundations and political history of the Kingdom in the Napatan (7th - 3rd centuries) and Meroitic (3rd century B.C. - 4th century A.D.) periods.

The Kingdom of Kush and the ancient Nubian civilization, in general, are important not only for their achievements but also for what these achievements represent in the abstract. The existence of such civilizations challenges many traditional, Eurocentric views of the world and its history. Of course, ancient Egypt is impressive enough on its own, but Nubia is even further south and further away from European influence and, in that sense, more African. Neighboring Ethiopia and numerous other locales in Africa were home to other civilizations that have seen their share of success too, so Nubia and its Kingdom of Kush are not alone in that sense. Overall, Africa is a fascinating place to study from the standpoint of scholars from all sorts of backgrounds and sciences. After all, Africa is where mankind originates, so its heritage is something that’s important for all of humanity to study.

Situated in present-day northern Sudan and southern Egypt, the ancient Nubian Kingdom of Kush thrived along the Nile Valley, marking an early cradle of civilization. This region gave rise to intricate communities engaged in trade and craftsmanship. Around 2450 to 1450 BC, the city-state of Kerma emerged as a dominant political force, reigning over the Nile Valley between the first and fourth cataracts—a territory comparable to Egypt. Recognized by the Egyptians as "Kush," Kerma engaged in intermittent warfare, trade, and cultural exchange with Egypt over the ensuing centuries. During the New Kingdom period (1550–1070 BC), Egypt exerted control over much of Nubia, but following Egypt's decline in the Late Bronze Age collapse, the Kushites restored their empire in Napata (modern Karima, Sudan). While sharing cultural traits with Egypt, Kush developed its own distinct civilization. King Kashta peacefully ascended to the throne of Upper Egypt, and his daughter, Amenirdis, became the Divine Adoratrice of Amun in Thebes. The Twenty-fifth Dynasty, led by the Kushites, took root after Piye's invasion of Lower Egypt in the ninth century BC. The Kushite monarchs governed Egypt for about a century until the Assyrian conquest, when Psamtik I of Egypt expelled them in the mid-seventh century BC. Following this rupture, the Kushite capital shifted to Mero, known to the Greeks as Aethiopia. From the third century BC to the third century AD, Northern Nubia faced Egyptian annexation, enduring as the Dodekaschoinos in the Greco-Roman world under Macedonian and Roman rule. Yesebokheamani reclaimed control, sustaining the Kingdom of Kush as a significant regional power until the fourth century AD. Internal strife, climatic challenges, and invasions by the Noba people led to its decline. The Kingdom of Aksum subsequently captured and razed Mero, signaling the kingdom's dissolution into Nobatia, Makuria, and Alodia. Recent archaeological discoveries in the late 20th century have unveiled Kush as a sophisticated society with its language, script, thriving trade and industry, proficiency in archery, and a complex urban structure featuring substantial female participation. The term Nubia, first recorded in Egyptian as k3, likely pronounced in Middle Egyptian, denotes the indigenous people who founded Kush's empire. It has an ethnic connotation, evident in names like King Kashta. Kush, as a geographical term, referred to the area south of the first cataract and was also the residence of the 25th Dynasty monarchs.

*Includes pictures *Includes ancient accounts of Kush *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading "The desert lands of Egypt will remain desert, however many millions of pounds are expended in Nile reservoirs. All that man can do is to extend somewhat the narrow strip of green running along the banks of the Nile." - Sir Benjamin Baker, Royal Institution, June 6, 1902 During the several centuries that ancient Egypt stood as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, civilizations of the ancient world, conflicts with its neighbors often played a central role in hieroglyphic texts and art from temples and tombs. The three primary enemies of the Egyptians were the Libyans who occupied the Western Desert and its oases, the so-called Asiatics who lived in the Levant, and finally the Nubians to Egypt's south. Among the three peoples, the Nubians were the most "Egyptianized" and at times were integral to the development of Egyptian history. Truly, the Nubians were the greatest of all sub-Saharan peoples in pre-modern times and deserve to be studied in their own right, apart from ancient Egyptian history. Unfortunately, it is often difficult for scholars to separate aspects of ancient Nubian culture that were truly unique and "Nubian" from those elements that were Egyptian, as the Nubians borrowed heavily in terms of culture from their northern neighbor. One historian noted, "As expected, strong Nubian features and dark coloring are seen in their sculpture and relief work. This dynasty ranks as among the greatest, whose fame far outlived its actual tenure on the throne. Especially interesting, it was a member of this dynasty that decreed that no Nehsy (riverine Nubian of the principality of Kush), except such as came for trade or diplomatic reasons, should pass by the Egyptian fortress and cops at the southern end of the Second Nile Cataract. Why would this royal family of Nubian ancestry ban other Nubians from coming into Egyptian territory? Because the Egyptian rulers of Nubian ancestry had become Egyptians culturally; as pharaohs, they exhibited typical Egyptian attitudes and adopted typical Egyptian policies." Robert S. Bianchi went even further: "It is an extremely difficult task to attempt to describe the Nubians during the course of Egypt's New Kingdom, because their presence appears to have virtually evaporated from the archaeological record. The result has been described as a wholesale Nubian assimilation into Egyptian society. This assimilation was so complete that it masked all Nubian ethnic identities insofar as archaeological remains are concerned beneath the impenetrable veneer of Egypt's material culture." An in-depth examination of the ancient Nubians reveals that although the Nubians were closely related culturally in many ways to the Egyptians, they produced a culture that had many of its own unique attributes and was far more advanced than any other culture in sub-Saharan Africa. Although the ancient Nubians get second billing to the Egyptians and are therefore not known as well to the general public, they were truly a remarkable people who left a cultural legacy that has stood the test of time. The Kingdom of Kush: The History and Legacy of the Ancient Nubian Empire examines the amazing history and legacy of one of the most interesting places in the world. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Kush like never before.
