Kushite Pharaonic Dynasty

The Kushite Pharaonic Dynasty refers to a period when the Kingdom of Kush, located in present-day Sudan, ruled over Egypt as its pharaohs from around 725 to 656 BCE. This dynasty was notable for its rich culture, impressive pyramids, and powerful rulers, including the famous Piye. The Kushites blended their traditions with Egyptian customs, promoting trade, arts, and religion. Their reign marked a time of revival for ancient Egyptian culture after a period of decline, demonstrating the influence and power of Kush in Northeast Africa during this era.
