Nubian Kings In Ancient Egypt

Nubian kings were the mysterious Black Pharaohs of what is today known as the Sudan. Their history and the stories of their reign has become legendary amongst Africans and African Americans seeking their true ancestral roots. Although, the Nubian history is written off as heresy by early archeologists. These archeologists were driven by their ignorance. They had no belief that dark skinned people, especially Africans, could have risen to such high lengths in power. But now, in the heart of Sudan, great new archaeological findings reveal the actual truths about the great Kush dynasty. I believe with deep consideration of the findings within this ancient first cataract of Ancient Egypt, archeologists and historians will modify this history disaster

Egypt, during mid 600 BCE, though during this time it may have been known by the “Gift of the Nile,” was only a very minor portion of the vast Nile Valley culture. However, in the late 600 BCE the Assyrians conquered Egypt. Around 671 BCE, the Assyrians were able to run the Kushites out of Egypt with great superior weaponry. With this weaponry they were able to conquer and rule Egypt all to themselves. The Assyrians used iron weapons, which were harder and more powerful than the bronze weapons that the Kushites used. These African rulers and many of their inhabitants migrated to and over a short period of time assimilated into the kingdom of Kush. They gathered just to the south region, which became greatly enriched with plenty of their contributions. In time Kush’s capital moved to the south, from Napata to Meroe, as Kush began to migrate itself southward nearer to the resources of the Nile River and also the heart of the continent. The power and control of the Kush Empire spread well beyond both branches of the longest river in the world, being the Nile. Meroe was in easy access of the Red Sea and so it was also to sea fairing people. This also led to the development of the iron industry within Meroe as early as 500 BCE. There was a great supply of iron ore and

Eventually, in about 200 ACE, they were overthrown by the ancient Ethiopian kingdom based within the city of Axum. In 400 ACE, Meroe was attacked and destroyed. Egyptians that had earlier migrated to Kush, the Kushites themselves began a massive departure that would have effects all the way out to the southern and western regions of the continent. Axum, which was Kush’s successor, settled within the Ethiopian highlands. This was not far from the Red Sea. The shipping city for Axum was the Red Sea port of Adulis. Axum traded goods such as cloth and finished irons with these peoples in exchange for iron ore, gold, hides and enslaved Africans. These goods were traded between Arabia, Persia, Constantinople and India from the port of Adulis. During the fourth and fifth centuries ACE, they controlled much of Arabia, modern day Ethiopia and Sudan. Axum turned out to be the legendary kingdom of
