# Language and Communication * The Kushites developed their own language known as Meroitic, which was used for administrative and cultural purposes. * The ability to communicate effectively through their language facilitated trade and governance within the kingdom. * Meroitic inscriptions provide valuable insights into the history and culture of the Kushites. # The Fall of Kush Kush weakened its economic power, Kush's military began to weaken, and a loss of trade began to increase. # The Rise of Aksum Aksum grew wealthy from trade. Aksum's wealth and power came at the cost of Kush. Seeing that Kushites were vulnerable, the king of Aksum sent an army to conquer Meroë and took over the kingdom of Kush.
