And in fact, they were forced to in the end sign a peace treaty with her in 22 BCE. So it's just, you know, I can understand why you're fascinated by it, because it really is, you know, the stuff of Hollywood where fact is stranger than fiction. And I do wish that somebody would try and popularize this amazing chapter in African history.

So, I mean, you know, the Kushites emerged from a part of the world which was never part of Egypt. And the word Nubia is not something that came into use until much, much later around the first, second century Common Era. So there is a tendency to try to talk about the Kushites as Nubians. Of course, there were Nubians who you could refer to them as Nubians, but much later in their history.

But a lot of people refer to them as Nubians because there are Nubians today who live in northern Sudan, but also who live in southern Egypt. And by calling them Nubians, it kind of, in a way, allows people perhaps in Egypt to say, ah, that's when we were governed

by our 25th dynasty, who were Nubians, to try to imply perhaps that these were people who territorially came from what is known as Southern Egypt. So it kind of puts Northern Sudan into the shadow. Do you see what I mean?

So that's one reason why I don't like them being referred to Nubians, because these are people who territorially only ever came from a part of the world that is part of Sudan and was never part of Egypt proper. They did have similarities with the people of southern Egypt, as they do to this day. We have in my family very strong connections with southern Egypt.

Ethnically, you can't really tell the difference between the northern Sudanese and the southern Egyptians. You know, very similar kind of accent when it comes to speaking Arabic and so on. And historically speaking, the relationship between the Kushites and the ancient Egyptians was one that ebbed and flowed. Sometimes the ancient Egyptians would clobber the Kushites.

At other times, they had a fairly good relationship. The two cultures learned from one another. You know, the ancient Sudanese and the ancient Egyptians worshiped the same deities. Amun-Ra was the principal god for both of them. The ancient Sudanese, the Kushites, added another one, Apedimak, the lion god.
