The Kingdom of Kush: A Complete Overview (754 BC–656 BC)

#ancientegypt #africanhistory #egyptianhistory Meet the Pharaohs of the Kingdom of Kush. Warrior-Kings who stormed Egypt, and revived a fading empire by forging the 25th Dynasty. In this documentary, we trace the Kingdom of Kush from its Nubian roots at Napata and Jebel Barkal to the sweeping campaigns of Piye (Piankhi), Shabaka, and Taharqa. Discover how these Ancient Nubian rulers, sometimes called the Black Pharaohs, reunified Egypt, clashed with the mighty Neo-Assyrian Empire, and sparked a cultural renaissance of pyramids, tombs, and temples.
