Interesting....I watched an ABC program this week on the "black pharaohs". Apparently, they came from Kush and ruled for about a hundred years, 7th Cent BC or so on and then the Assyrian ruling class sent their hoards in to kick out, what would now be called, the Sudanese ruling class: ********** Allowed, and even encouraged, to rebuild their own kingdom along the lines of Egypt, in 747 BC, Kush attacked the Pharaoh's power in a daring land grab. The Kushite king, Piye, overthrew the yoke, conquered mighty Egypt and established a 100-year rule of black Pharaohs. Even after being ousted from the Egyptian throne, Kushite kings continued to rule an empire as mighty as any, until the arrival of Alexander the Great. full: http://www.abc.net.au/tv/guide/netw/200712/programs/ZY7612A001D27122007T213000.htm
