The Nubian Pharaohs of Egypt

Set in the region of Nubia, now straddling modern Egypt and Sudan, the narrative explores the dramatic shift in power during the eighth century BC when the kings of Kush ruled over Egypt for nearly a century. This period of Kushite dominance was eventually challenged by Assyrian invasions, leading to their withdrawal. Despite this, the Kushite kingdom thrived for another millennium, leaving behind a rich legacy, including the iconic pyramid-tombs that reflect its historical connection to Egypt.
