Why is Kush called one of the great civilization of ancient Africa?

It is considered on of the great civilizations of Ancient Africa becuase it has had a long history of being under the control of Ancient Egypt and then soon took over Ancient Egypt for itself. While under the control of Egypt it adapted parts of its culture and would pay tributes to the Egyptians. When it took over Egypt it was in rule only for less than a hundred years and started to create its own culture again. It went downhill after that and Egypt came to strike back and defeated the Kushite forces.


Where were the fertile lands in ancient Egypt located?

Around the River Nile because silt was carried down and was clumped in a pile.The ancient Egyptians thought of Egypt as being divided into two types of land, the ''black land'' and the ''red land''.The ''black land'' was the fertile land on the banks of the Nile. The ancient Egyptians used this land for growing their crops. This was the only land in ancient Egypt that could be farmed because a layer of rich, black silt was deposited there every year after the Nile flooded.The ''red land'' was the barren desert that protected Egypt on two sides. These deserts separated ancient Egypt from neighboring countries and invading armies. They also provided the ancient Egyptians with a source for precious metals and semi-precious stones.
