Long before the Kingdom of Kush ruled from Meroe, its heartland lay further north at Napata, near Jebel Barkal. In the 8th century BCE, Kushite kings from Napata conquered Egypt and established the 25th Dynasty, ruling as pharaohs from Thebes to Memphis. This episode focuses on the last great pharaoh of that dynasty, Taharqa, who fought the Assyrian Empire at its zenith. We explore Taharqa's building projects at Karnak, his military campaigns against Sennacherib and Esarhaddon, and the fall of the dynasty with Tantamani. The episode also examines the cultural and religious ties between Napata and Egypt, including the cult of Amun at Jebel Barkal. New archaeological evidence from the Sudan National Museum and recent excavations at El-Kurru shed light on this pivotal era. Taharqa's reign marked the apogee of Kushite power before the Assyrian sack of Thebes in 663 BCE drove the Kushites back south, where they rebuilt at Meroe. #Kush #Napata #Taharqa #25thDynasty #JebelBarkal #AssyrianEmpire #ElKurru #Amun #Karnak #Tantamani #Pharaohs #Nubia #Sudan #AncientEgypt #Sennacherib #Esarhaddon #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
