Mainly because Egypt so dominates North African History and there is SO much information on the Egyptians. However, more and more information is coming out about the great civilisations in Kush, especially about the great QUEENS who ruled over the area into the Christian era. Their title was Kandake, from which the modern names Candace/Candice derive. One of them is mentioned in the Bible (Acts Acts of Apostles 8:27 et seq., the eunuch of a "Candace, Queen of the Ethiopians" is converted to Christianity by Philip. The actual kandake was likely Amanitore, daughter of Kandake Amanishakheto. There are other places in the bible where the kandake is referred to by the title Queen of the South, in one case by Jesus Christ."(Wikipedia) Start doing your research, take up archaeology as a field and specialise in this area. By doing so, you can push for more representation for Kush in curricula.
