The interdependence between Kush and Egypt was evident in their economic and cultural exchanges. Kush relied on Egypt for trade, military support, and access to the Nile River. In return, Kush provided Egypt with valuable resources such as gold, ivory, and slaves. However, the balance of power shifted at different times, with Egypt taking control of Kush to secure their southern border, and Kush, at times, asserting dominance over Egypt during weak ruling periods. This cycle of control was driven by geopolitical factors and the desire for economic and political stability.
