This volume presents the first comprehensive study of the Kushite concepts of order in the state and in the cosmos as they were conceptualized in royal and temple texts, in urban architecture, in the structure of temple iconography, and in the relationship between the society and the temples as places of popular worship, archives of historical memory, and centres of cultural identity.
