Was not Ethiopia of today, also called Abyssinia ? I find many seem to confuse Ethiopia of today with ancient Kush, which had different phrases of it's civilization doing it very long history. Also is not the root word Nub in Nubia, the word the ancients Egyptians used for gold & was popularized by the Romans thus we have Nubia ? I had heard that in the bible Moses was denied crossing over into Jordon because he broke a convent by marring an Ethiopian( Kushite) women.
The ancient Sudani kingdom called Kush
was named Qevs (sp) per Wm Hansberry's
sources.
Because most of its people were extremely
dark skinned Kush became the metrestick
of black skinned peoples outside continental
Africa (the eastern Aithiopians/Aethiopians).
The modern Hebrew word for a black (niggger )
is Kushi.
Aithiopia/Aethiopia was Greek/Latin for Kush.
So we have the Levant bordering Egypt as
the eastern Mediterranean Kush in Greek
mythology (Cepheus Cassiopeia Andromeda)
Then there was the Gulf of Oman Kush.
According to Hebrew lore Moshe's Kushi
wife likely Zipporah daughter of Jethro
sheik of Midian, considered an Arabian
Peninsula Kush. Technically a "Hebrew"
in the expanded sense of the word --
descended from `Eber through Abraham
-- the Midianites are ranked as Kushites
in the Tana"kh (Hebrew Scriptures).
Oh! A little on Memnon.
BTW skim reading the threads of the above linked posts will yield additional info
