The Kingdom of Kush
Religion: Nubian Religion
Religion played an important role. Their God reliefs were the form of animals such as the sacred of cat Babastis. Later, gods were half human-half animal creatures, usually a human with the head of some animals.
Religion was crucial. Kush people had reliefs like Egyptians such as they built pyramids, and worshipped Egyptian Gods. Their Gods reliefs were animal formations. Later on, Gods were more likely half man and half animal. People thought that priests were spiritual and noble, for they could communicate to Gods.
