The Civilization of Kush started to develop in 850 when Nubian's captured by the Egyptians broke away from Egypt and formed the civilization of Kush.Although people began settling in Nubia in 2000 BCE Kushite kings ruled from the city of Napata which was a favorable location for trade. The Kushite's traded gold, ivory, and valuable goods. Kush became very rich and strong enough to take over Egypt. The kings of Kush greatly admired the egyptian culture. Their temples were built like the Egyptians temples and buildings. Kush did not last long but during it's time it conquered many lands using Iron weapons from the Assyrians. The armies of Axum would later burn the Kushite empire to the ground.
Problem: The kingdom of Kush was always trying to capture new land from other people even though they were plenty big enough.
Solution: Sometimes it gets to a point where you got to settle with the land you have don't always take other peoples stuff or in this case land. You never see America trying to take over Canada because we are smart and eventually you will meet someone that's better then you.
