KUSHITE CIVILIZATION PROFILE
|
||||
==============================
|
||||
|
||||
![Kushites Civ Center](kushites-header.png "Kushites Civ Center")
|
||||
|
||||
The Kingdom of Kush was an ancient African kingdom situated on the confluences of the Blue Nile,
|
||||
White Nile and River Atbara in what is now the Republic of Sudan. The Kushite era of rule in the region
|
||||
was established after the Bronze Age collapse of the New Kingdom of Egypt, and it was centered at
|
||||
Napata in its early phase. They invaded Egypt in the 8th century BC, and the Kushite emperors ruled as
|
||||
Pharaohs of the Twenty-fifth dynasty of Egypt for a century, until they were expelled by the Assyrians.
|
||||
Kushite culture was influenced heavily by the Egyptians, with Kushite pyramid building and monumental
|
||||
temple architecture still extent. The Kushites even worshipped many Egyptian gods, including Amun.
|
||||
During Classical antiquity, the Kushite imperial capital was at Meroe. In early Greek geography, the
|
||||
Meroitic kingdom was known as Aethiopia. The Kushite kingdom persisted until the 4th century AD,
|
||||
when it weakened and disintegrated due to internal rebellion, eventually succumbing to the rising power
|
||||
of Axum.

UNIT DESCRIPTIONS
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
### INFANTRY
|
||||
Archers formed the basic core of Nubian armies that challenged Egypt for control over parts of the Nile
|
||||
valley, and then conquered Egypt in the 8th century BC, and confronted the troops of the Assyrian
|
||||
empire. Nubia was the “Land of the Bow”. “Land of the Bow” from the meaning of Ta-Seti, an ancient
|
||||
Egyptian term used to denote Nubia for thousands of years in antiquity. Nubian archers mostly used
|
||||
one-piece bows ranging from six to seven feet long, with a powerful draw strength that many of the archers
|
||||
used their feet to bend their bows. The bows were fabricated from seasoned palm wood, with the arrows
|
||||
made of cane. Arrows were sometimes poisoned.
