A unique achievement of Kush’s civilization is the Meroitic script. The Meroitic script, which was developed in the Kingdom of Kush, is a writing system that was used to write the Meroitic language. It is considered a significant achievement as it reflects the distinct cultural identity of the Kushite civilization, separate from that of Ancient Egypt, which used hieroglyphics.
