What did the Kushite Empire do for Ancient Egypt?

Описание: The black superpower of the 25th dynasty ruled ancient Egypt for over a century and was one of the main major powers at the time. Yet, the Kushite’s influence in Egypt has been belittled or outright dismissed by mainstream Egyptologists. Previous interpretations were based on bias and prejudice. Nonthesis, they have been repeated and referenced over and over. These are interpretations not facts.

In this video I challenge this perception and highlight the immense value the Kushite Empire had for ancient Egypt.
