         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Kingdom of Kush was a center of trade because of the city's strategic location, across two major trade routes. Also since they had an abundant resource of iron, they traded some of it. It was a center of culture because like the Egyptians, the Nubians built pyramids, they worshiped Egyptian gods, and they continued the classical Egyptian political and religious practices. It was a center of power because the Kushites took over Egypt, and they also had stores of gold. Also when they were under the rule of Ramses II, it was very strong and powerful.  </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The kingdom of Kush was a central power, culture, and trade because they had plentiful iron and gold which they could trade because they had a surplus of these items. Because they could trade they could get what they wanted and they could expand and grow wealthy because of this. They also strategically placed their 2 capitals along the Nile river which made them able to trade even more because the Nile river was a huge transportation route and capitals had huge amounts of people to trade with and resources to trade in them. This made them a center power, culture, and trade. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The kingdom of Kush was a center of power, culture, and trade. Kush was so powerful that it was even able to defeat the Egyptian Empire due to its wealth created by living in the fertile Nile delta with its great resources. They were able to produce food very well and had an abundance of gold and iron used for trade and weapons. The culture remained unique as they practiced religion and daily life as the Egyptians had done. They worshipped many gods, built pyramids as well as temples and palaces. Finally, they were a center of trade, being on the Nile with two major international trade routes.  Being abundant with gold and iron, they were able to trade these valuable resources. The trade and resources of Kush even kept them powerful after losing Egypt to the Assyrians. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The Kingdom of Kush followed as a center of power, culture, and trade because first of all, for culture, Kushites adopted many Egyptian practices, traditions, and worshiped the same gods as well. Which is how they became a center of culture. Now for trade, Kush had two important capitals that stretched across two important trade routes that had many valuable resources that they could trade for a good profit of wealth. Iron was actually one of the most valuable resources that strongly impacted trade. This city eventually became a center of power because the Kushites wanted to achieve the same amount of greatness that the Egyptians did. So therefore, the Kushites adopted many aspects of Egyptian culture and worshiped many of the same gods as well. They also were very successful in trade and had a great lack of resources to spare and trade which made the Kushites very wealthy and able to become a very powerful civilization and therefore was a center of power, trade, and culture.</div>]]></description>
