Inktober Day 23: Piye

From about 1070 BC to 400 BC Egypt was invaded multiple times by factions and groups from across the ancient Middle East and Africa. The Libyans, Saites and Persians all had control of it for a time. The 25th Dynasty is when Egypt was conquered by a Nubian ruler, King Piye.

Although Piye ruled from his Southern capital at Napata, Piye seems to have embraced the culture of Egypt. Reliefs at Jebel Barkal show Piye participating in the Hed-Seb Festival at Thebes and upon his death he was buried in a pyramid at El-Kurru. He also defended Egypt from fierce raids from the Assyrian Empire. Considering that, in ancient times, Nubia was one of Egypt’s foes, evidence suggests that the country thrived under Piye and his family’s rule.

Artist Note: The Kingdom of Nubia, called Kush in antiquity, was located in modern day Sudan. The Kushite kings are often referred to as the “The Black Pharaohs”. I can heartily recommend looking more into this period Egyptology as it’s just starting to be given the attention that it deserves, and was denied to it by racist colonialism. Start with this documentary by The National Geographic.

We Wuz Kangz: Nubian Pharaoh King Piye

We Wuz Kangz: Nubian Pharaoh King Piye

Piye, who worshipped the god Amun, considered his battles a holy war and had specific rituals in preparation for the war that included his soldiers cleansing themselves before battle. His army was feared so much that the nobility sent him tribute so that their cities would be spared. King Piye was a BLACK MAN, that is a FACT! Yep, we wuz kangz, indeed. Never let anyone tell you Black history…
