-This is what some historians recently arise has called the black f*.

-Yep.

-This is a culture and civilization, distinct and different as sometimes in its history to the civilization further down the Nile...

-But they were closely related. They share the same religion. They honour the same gods. The Kushians believed that the Egyptian gods were here, in the Kush form, in the Nubian forms. -The K* is overwhelming focus on the civilization of ancient Egypt. It wouldn't be unnatural for Egyptians, one of Egyptians, to think, well, we've been here for thousands of years. This is our culture. This is our land. This is our river as well. But the fact we are standing on a pyramid here in northern Sudan, built by people whose descendants may still live around us now. I have a feeling that gives then some sort of historical, more legitimate claim to the land and water in this space.

-It does. You know, but there is a funny thing that I noticed in Cairo that is in the * side of the Cairo Museum, the only dynasty that isn't named is the 25th dynasty. -And that was?

-The dynasty of Kush, which ruled them.

-The dynasty of the Nubian kings from here?

-They deliberately cut it out.
