how did kushite civilizations develop?

Answer 1

Kushite civilizations developed in the region of Nubia, south of ancient Egypt, due to its rich resources, including gold and fertile land along the Nile River. The Kushites established powerful city-states, such as Kerma, Napata, and Meroë, which became centers of trade and culture. Influenced by Egyptian civilization through trade and conquest, the Kushites adopted and adapted many aspects of Egyptian religion, writing, and architecture. Over time, the Kingdom of Kush emerged as a significant power, even conquering Egypt during the 25th Dynasty.
