The Warrior Queens of Kush - a podcast by Tehya F.
from 2022-02-20T21:00
History is often shrouded in mystery but this one is a doozy! After sifting through dozens of false articles I finally found the truth about the warrior queens of Kush. They were fearless warrior queens with a knack for diplomacy and negotiations. In a time when women in Rome were being treated as second-class citizens, the women of Kush were living in a matriarchal society. But how did things get so discombobulated? Why don't we know about the successive rule of females I'll tell you how a 12th-century fanfic about Alexander the great and an extremely racist archaeologists change how the world saw the Kush kingdom and its queens.
