the 25th dynasty—a family group of strong kings from Nubia or Kush, south of Egypt in what is present-day Sudan. These rulers were dark skinned and bore the distinguishing facial features of sub-Saharan peoples. They swept north along the Nile to the delta, reinvigorating historic forms of worship as they came, thus gaining the support of the Egyptian priests. While the skin color of the native Egyptian pharaohs was a large mix of variety with genetic traits from regions from much of the Mediterranean, there’s no dispute that during the 25th dynasty all of Egypt answered to black pharaohs who hailed from deep within Africa. #nubianknowledge #anthropology #archeology #africanmonarch
