Yes! the kush's kings were buried in pyrimds

No because the Egyptian's were not alone in settling along the Nile River.

Farther south,in present-day Sudan,another strong civilization arose.

This was the region called Nubia,later known as Kush.

The Kushite kingdom persisted until the 4th century AD, when it weakened and disintegrated due to internal rebellion. The Kushite capital was subsequently captured by the Beja Dynasty, who tried to revive the empire. The Kushite capital was eventually captured and destroyed by the kingdom of Axum.

Kush worshipped most of the gods that egypt worshipped. Also Kush traded and had the same items egypt had, and followed same ways as egypt did. From mrs chins class, foothills mid school(:

toThe factors

kush was weakened, because there were more people coming in so they lost more and more of there exports/imports :)

It is true because on my text book in paragraph 6 it explains that Nubia adopted many Egyption ways.

The Egyptians were masters of trade in the ancient world. Encouraged by Hatsheput .expedition to Punt and Thutmose III's .trades for rich loot in Southwest Asia and the Mediterranean Region, Egypt was a center of trade. Egyptians and their trading partners sailed along the Nile River to trade their goods, but sometimes also traveled to and from the Eastern or Western Deserts. Egyptians bartered with their precious resources, including gold, papyrus, linen, and grain.

Nubia was a desert region and ancient kingdom in the valley. Much of the region was flooded when the Aswan dam was built.

The Kingdom of Kush or 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.

Nubia is a region, partly in Egypt, partly in Sudan. It was one of the first black civilisations in Africa, and the inhabitants were known in Egyptian time, for their very black skin.

The wealthy kingdom of Nubia had important gold mines. Pharaohs of the middle kingdom conquered Nubia and used its wealth.

The Nubians were notorious for there lack of military skill, this is actually were the term noob comes from, though the spelling has been corrupted since

They supported each other through trade/ transporting goods.

The Nubian Pharaohs" of the 25th Dynasty ruled with an enlightened benevolence. They were Medicis (patrons of art and literature), rather than Caesars, who awoke Egypt to the artistic and cultural splendor of its own past as they patronized artists, revived lost learning and rebuilt derelict temples.

I hope this answers your question. I received this information from Dr. Alonzo M. Jones. I believe he said that this quote came from the Smithsonian. He has written a children's book about this time as well.
