Quote: Origins The first cultures arose in Sudan before the time of a unified Egypt. The earliest signs of which show a continuity in developing Nile valley cultures comes from the Khartoum Neolithic, where we see the beginnings of food production in the region.[1] As these centers evolved, local societies began to amalgamate into confederations, depending on different strategies distinct from earlier semi-nomadic lifestyles[2]. One such polity, called the "A-group" emerged in lower Sudan around 3800 BC, and were contemporaneous with the pre-dynastic Naqada people of upper Egypt, sharing an almost identical culture.[3] After the demise of the A-group, archaeological evidence attesting to permanent settlements is scant. The culture called the "C-group", who founded the Kingdom of Kush began to appear consistently in Egyptian accounts and the archaeological record. It is through Egyptian, Hebrew, and Greco-Roman records that most of our knowledge of Kush comes. The Egyptians took control of Kush in ca. 1520 BC, but their grip on the area would decline over the next 500 years, until the Ku####es became independent. The Ku####es buried their monarchs along with all their courtiers in mass graves. Archaeologists refer to these practices as the "Pan-grave culture".[4] The Ku####es also built burial mounds and pyramids, and shared some of the same gods worshiped in Egypt, especially Ammon and Isis. Curiously, during Egypt's expansion into Ku####e territory during the New Kingdom, upon discovering the site at Gebel-Barkal the Egyptians believed they'd found the remnants of an ancient Egyptian kingship and culture as well as the origin of Ammon and the Hedjet (or "white crown").[5]
