jun 1, 590 BC - Egypt Invades Kush
Description:
This is when Egypt invaded Kush and destroyed its capital city, Napata. Kush then got a new capital city Meroe. This was an important point in time because Kush's new capital city had a lot of new resources, like iron, wood for charcoal, water, good land for farming, and it was a good trading spot, as well as being far enough away from Egypt.
