The Assyrians drove Kushites back out of egypt - Kamryn Sneed
If the Assyrians had not driven the Kushites from Egypt, Kushite history might have seen a prolonged period of influence and cultural exchange in the region. This could have allowed the Kushites to solidify their power and possibly expand their territory further into Egypt, leading to a distinct blending of Kushite and Egyptian cultures. Additionally, the absence of Assyrian intervention might have enabled the Kushites to resist subsequent foreign invasions more effectively, potentially altering the trajectory of African history and the dynamics of power in Northeast Africa.
The Egypt did treat the kushites as their own.
After Egypt fell and Kush took over, the Kingdom of Kush, based in what is now Sudan, became the dominant power. The Kushites ruled Egypt during the 25th Dynasty, known as the "Kushite Dynasty," which lasted from around 747 to 656 BCE. This period saw a resurgence of monumental building and cultural revival in Egypt, as the Kushite pharaohs embraced and promoted Egyptian traditions. Ultimately, however, their rule ended when the Assyrian Empire invaded and expelled the Kushites from Egypt.
Kush and Egypt were sometimes at war Egypt invaded Kush and the Kushites later revolted and gained their independence. The Kushites still kept some Egyptian traditions and Egypt and Kush were also trading partners
If the Kushites had imposed their own culture on Egypt they might have been able to unify Egypt, creating a superpower that would have dominated the region.
