Question

How did kush and Aksum differ from the later Arab trading states?

Answer 1

The kingdoms of Kush and Aksum differ from the Arab trading states in religion, race and behavior to other people groups.

Explanation:

Kush referred to the people who lived in the regions of the 3rd and 4th cataracts. Later these people groups were revered to as Nubians. These tribes were darker than the people of northern Egypt. At times the peoples of these southern kingdoms ruled all of Egypt.

During the time of the fourth dynasty trade between Kush and Egypt involved gold, cattle, ivory, lumber, and soldiers from Kush and ion, implements, fine pottery, and linen cloth from Egypt.

The trade with the Arab states focused on gold and slaves.
