Kush was one of the great ancient kingdoms of Africa. The ancient Kushites were sometimes in conflict with their northern neighbors, the ancient Egyptians, for control of the Nile River Valley. Their warriors were known for their archery skills. Besides their military efforts, the Kushites built temples and tombs, such as the temple of Dendur, created their own written language called Meroitic, and played an important role in trade in the ancient world.Sonneborn, Liz is the author of 'Ancient Kushites', published 2005 under ISBN 9780531123805 and ISBN 0531123804.
