Kush

Kush flourished in Egypt around the time of 1000 BCE. They were greatly known for their Egyptian hieroglyphics and iron-working. By 750 BCE, Kush had fully captured Egypt and established a monarchy ruled by divine kings. A larger power south of Kush, the city of Axum, rose and defeated Kush, and later on Axum fell to Ethiopia, a Christian region in Africa.
