Some would pronounce her a land of late development and that her rock-hewn temples and hoary monuments were built after the beginning of the Christian era. Rawlinson says of […]
The Nubo-Egyptian desert was once abundantly watered and a well-timbered region. With the exclusion of the narrow Nile valley, all of this is generally a barren waste today.

The story of India, Persia, Arabia, Chaldea, Egypt, and Ethiopia has been astonishing, but more amazing and fascinating is the recital describing the life and deeds of the Cushite nations of western Europe.

The earliest civilization was higher than that of the later dynasties. Its purer art represents an “Old Race” that fills all the background of the pre-historic ages. It colonized the first civilized centers […]
M. Chabas regards a space at least of 4000 years, preceding the first Dynasty as absolutely necessary to such development as Egypt possessed at the time of the Fourth Dynasty. The art of the Old Empire was vigorous and full of original genius but the art of later times was stiff and conventional. The oldest religion had […]
The Marvelous Arabian Civilization Arabia was one of the earliest colonies of the ancient Cushite Empire of Ethiopians. Baldwin claims that it was the original land of Cush.
