Explanation:

To identify Kush's location, recall that Kush (ancient Nubia) was south of Egypt along the Nile. On the map, the region labeled "Kush" (with cities like Napata, Meroë) is south of Egypt (New Kingdom, with cities like Memphis, Thebes). Shade Kush's area (the lower Nile - adjacent region with Napata/Meroë) and Egypt's area (upper Nile, Mediterranean - facing) using different colors as per the key.

Answer:

To locate Kush:

• Egypt (New Kingdom): Shade the region north of Kush, along the Nile (including areas near Memphis, Thebes, and the Mediterranean Sea).
• Kush: Shade the region south of Egypt, along the Nile (including areas with cities like Napata and Meroë, near the Nubian Desert).

Use the provided key boxes to match the colors for each region.
