Also called Kush. The ancient Egyptians called what is now Sudan. The ancient Greeks called it Ethiopia. Around 2000 BCE, it was the area south of the second cataract of the Nile, but soon came to refer to the whole of Nubia. It was often under the control of ancient Egypt, but the Kushite dynasty also emerged, which ruled Egypt. Gold, spices, ebony, ostrich feathers, furs and other specialties were brought to Egypt. The Jews believe that the ancestor of the people of this region was Cush, the eldest son of Ham, Noah's second son. The Septuagint and Vulgate refer to the "land of Cush," but its exact location is merely a guess.

クシとも呼ばれる。古代エジプト人が今日のスーダン地方を呼んだ名称。古代ギリシア人はエチオピアと呼んだ。前 2000年頃ナイル第2急流以南をさしていたらしいが,まもなくヌビア全地方をいうようになった。古代エジプトの支配下におかれることが多かったが,エジプトを支配したクシュ王朝も出現した。黄金,香料,黒檀,ダチョウの羽毛,毛皮などの特産品があり,これらの品物はエジプトに運ばれた。ユダヤ人はこの地方の民の始祖をノアの第2子ハムの長子クシュであるとした。『七十人訳聖書』『ウルガタ訳聖書』に「クシュの地」とあるが,その正確な位置は推定の域を出ない。
