Talk:Kushites

"Afro-Asiatic' eh? Is this is one of those "legend-has-it' history entries? User:Wetman

Former text read:

Kushites or Kishites were an Afro-Asiatic mountain people of Mesopotamia from whom came Nimrod. Their first king was Etanna who reigned immediately after the end of Ice-Age deluges which submerged many costal communities. They left their name in mountainous areas from the Caucasus to as far as Afghanistan. According to some scholars they eventually migrated around the Oman & Yemen coasts of Punt to Ethiopia in the 4th Millennium BC after being displaced by the Sumerian-speaking Asshur-Semites from the east.

This is must be based on some odd early-historical speculations. Very POV but I have no idea whose POV so can't put it in context.

I am instead making the page a redirect page to Cush. jallan 22:01, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I restored the last pre-2025 version, i.e. the redirect to Kingdom of Kush. To me, it seems logical that we don't have a second article on the inhabitants of said kingdom. Rsk6400 (talk) 06:47, 31 May 2026 (UTC) Reply
