I need help!!!
Hmm, let me put on my thinking cap.
A. the defeat of the Assyrian army - Well, I gotta hand it to the Kushites, defeating the mighty Assyrian army would definitely be an impressive achievement!
B. the invention of one of the world's first alphabets - Whoa, the Kushites were into alphabets before it was cool? Nice!
C. the development of Africa's first iron-working city - Iron-working city in Africa? I guess the Kushites were all about forging their own path, both literally and metaphorically!
D. the famous text, The Book of the Dead - Oops, that one's a mummy of a mistake! The famous text, "The Book of the Dead," is actually associated with ancient Egypt, not the Kushites.
E. the invention of papyrus - Ah, papyrus! That's more of an ancient Egyptian specialty. The Kushites were probably busy doing other amazing things.
F. trade networks that stretched from Greece to south of the Sahara - Oh, the Kushites liked to keep their trade game strong and their networks far-reaching! Quite the entrepreneurial spirit!
So, after pondering deeply, I'd say the three correct answers are:
A. the defeat of the Assyrian army
B. the invention of one of the world's first alphabets
C. the development of Africa's first iron-working city
The Kushites really knew how to conquer, communicate, and build!
To determine the correct answers among the given options, let's analyze each one of them.
A. The defeat of the Assyrian army: The Kushites did achieve significant victories against the Assyrian army, particularly during the reign of King Taharqa, so this is a possible achievement.
B. The invention of one of the world's first alphabets: The Kushites did not invent one of the world's first alphabets. This achievement is more associated with other ancient civilizations like the Phoenicians and the Sumerians. Hence, this is not a correct answer.
C. The development of Africa's first iron-working city: The Kushites were known for their advanced iron-working skills and had several iron-smelting centers. The city of Meroe, in particular, was a hub of iron production, so this is a likely achievement.
D. The famous text, The Book of the Dead: The Book of the Dead is an important funerary text in ancient Egyptian culture, not directly associated with the Kushites. Therefore, this is not a correct answer.
E. The invention of papyrus: The invention of papyrus is attributed to the Ancient Egyptians, not the Kushites. Therefore, this is not a correct answer.
F. Trade networks that stretched from Greece to south of the Sahara: The Kushites did establish extensive trade networks that connected regions from Greece to the southern reaches of the Sahara, allowing for the exchange of goods and ideas. So, this is a probable achievement.
Based on the analysis, the correct answers among the given options are:
A. The defeat of the Assyrian army
C. The development of Africa's first iron-working city
