After Egypt fell and Kush took over, the Kingdom of Kush, based in what is now Sudan, became the dominant power. The Kushites ruled Egypt during the 25th Dynasty, known as the "Kushite Dynasty," which lasted from around 747 to 656 BCE. This period saw a resurgence of monumental building and cultural revival in Egypt, as the Kushite pharaohs embraced and promoted Egyptian traditions. Ultimately, however, their rule ended when the Assyrian Empire invaded and expelled the Kushites from Egypt.
