Hello everyone, Desperately looking for a book where the Kushite soldiers of the 25th pharaonic dynasty are abundantly illustrated, because the Nigel Stillman and Nigel Tallis, Armies of the Ancient Near East 3000 BC to 539 BC, Wargames Research Group, 1984 is really too insufficient. Thank you. Paskal |

Hi Paskal – your request piqued my interest. I found if you google Piye's troops and look at images – there's a picture of a small group of Nubian troops that looks as if they are period figures. Not sure of the source of that picture, though. |

You can also type Taharqa's troops, but the result is not conclusive because there are illustrators who show Nubians from the new empire as Kushites… The Kushite soldiers of the 25th pharaonic dynasty were indeed Egyptianized, when they were not are not, it is worthless. On blogs some people paint figurines of Egyptians or Indians as if they were black men and present them as Kushite, this is not a good solution, moreover others do not understand that at the time from the 25th pharaonic dynasty the wheels of the chariots had eight spokes. |
