I/46 — KUSHITE EGYPTIAN 745 BC

I/46 KUSHITE EGYPTIAN 745 BC - 593 BC

Nubia “Kush” was lost to Egypt about 1080 BC after a civil war between its viceroy and the Libyan-connected high priest of Amun, but its rulers remained devoted to the Egyptian religion. When the Libyan pharaoh Tefnakht invaded south circa 730 BC, the Kushite king Piye counterattacked and made himself Pharaoh of Egypt as far north as Thebes, founding the 25th dynasty. In 712 BC, his successor extended his rule to the whole of Egypt. Wars with Assyria ended in defeat for the Kushites, who were driven out of Egypt in 664 BC, and retreated south to the Sudan, where they founded the kingdom of Meroe around 593 BC. Assyrian reliefs depict charioteers, archers and other infantry carrying pairs of javelins and smallish round shields. Few are armoured, possibly only officers. Nubian royal monuments show many ridden horses. Reference: Annies of the Ancient Near East N. Stillman & N. Tallis.
