Kush Tactics Tier 2

Nubian Archery

The ancient Egyptians called the land of Nubia 'Ta-Seti' or the 'Land of the Bow'. This is because from the age of the pharaohs right up to medieval times, Nubians were famed for their extraordinary archery skills, both when fighting on foot or mounted. Archers formed the core of the Nubian armies which conquered Egypt in the 8th century BC, and confronted the troops of the Assyrian empire. The skill of Nubian archers made them valued parts of foreign armies also; Egyptian texts from as early as 2400BC note the presence of Nubians in Egyptian armies. Under the Kushite queen Amanirenas, Nubian archers defeated a Roman force and, after five years of war, a peace that favoured the Kushites was agreed in 20BC.
