The Kingdom of Kush, an ancient civilization in Northeast Africa, flourished from around 1069 BCE to 350 CE, leaving a rich cultural legacy that included a unique blend of Egyptian, African, and Mediterranean influences, and a strong emphasis on female leadership

Rival to Egypt, the Nubian kingdom of Kush exuded power and gold Kushite culture blended Egyptian customs into its own, creating a distinctive, visual style. Truncated and with steep sides, the pyramids left by the long line of Nubian kings populate the desert near the site of Meroë. Adorned with tall, slender pyramids, the wealthy Nile city of Meroë was the seat of power of Kush, an ancient kingdom and rival to Egypt.

Queen Amanirenas was one of the most formidable rulers of the ancient Nubian kingdom of Kush. She reigned from approximately 40 BCE to 10 BCE and is best remembered for her leadership in resisting the Roman Empire’s attempts to conquer Nubia. Her name is often associated with courage, resilience, and the defense of her homeland against one of history’s most powerful empires. Amanirenas, a Kandake (the Meroitic term for "queen mother" or "ruling queen"), led her people in a war against the Romans and left a legacy of defiance that has cemented her place in history.

Michael Tellinger's "Slave Species of God" enables evolutionists and creationists to finally co-exist in one pond. The arguments are compelling, simple and refreshing, retracing the path of human evolution from the murky distant past to the religious dogma that haunts humankind today. The question of who we are and where we come from takes on a new meaning as we discover that our DNA may have been manipulated by our Creator some 200,000 years ago to produce a less intelligent 'primitive species'.

History is the systematic study of the past. As an academic discipline, it analyzes and interprets evidence to construct narratives about what happened and explain why it happened, focusing primarily on the human past.
