    The Kush kingdom religion borrowed many characteristics from the Egyptians as their kingdom was near Ancient Egypt. It was a polytheistic religion, whose primary god was Amon, although they had many separate gods they respected, like Hathor, Khonsu, Thoth, etc.

    In Napata, the capital of their state, they built a temple of Amon and it was their biggest religious center. By the time, their religion had many gods who did not belong to the Ancient Egypt, like Apedemak, their god of victory and the protector of the ruling family. They also respected some animals, like cattle and frogs.

    Unfortunately, there are not many pieces of evidence of their religious practices that could tell us a bit more about their religion. However, we know they celebrated gods in temples by offering them food, and they cared a lot about the afterlife. Those facts were collected from their ancient texts, discovered in northern Kush.
