As the African people found fertile lands near rivers, they began to utilize agriculture. This helped to centralize parts of the cultures into the cities that would form the African kingdoms. Each of the western African cultures thrived with the use of the trans-Sahara trade routes and each attempted, with success, to control them. Religion was limited to the different tribes and was not extensively organized through Africa until the influence of Islam and Christianity. Western religions also brought writing, but until then only oral histories existed, resulting in little knowledge of earlier peoples. Listed below are some random points concerning African kingdoms.
Kush Kingdom
The Kush Kingdom was located in the southern Egyptian region. Early on these people had conquered Egypt and considered themselves to be Egyptian. The Kush controlled Egypt until they were driven south by the Hittites and Persians. The Kush had an early Christian exposure from Christianized Egypt.
Axum Kingdom
The Axum Kingdom was located in present day Ethiopia. Located on and near the Red Sea, Axum was able to control Red Sea trade for several centuries. Trade resulted in Axum cities becoming melting pots of mixed cultures and religions, with Christian, Nubian, Buddhist, and Jewish influences and inhabitants. Axum conquered the Kush and converted to Christianity, becoming the first Christian state in the history of the world. To this day, the Ethiopian Christianity Ethiopic Church claims to be in possession of the famous Hebrew chest, The Ark of the Covenant.
