Black Pharaohs CONQUERED Egypt – The African Empire They Erased From History

Описание: For 3,000 years, they ruled the Nile. Black pharaohs who conquered Egypt itself. Warrior queens who defeated Roman legions. Master ironworkers who built more pyramids than Egypt. Yet their story has been deliberately erased from history books, hidden from museums, and buried beneath the sands of Sudan.
This is the complete untold story of the Kingdom of Kush and Nubia – Africa's most powerful ancient empire that rivaled and even conquered Egypt, but has been systematically forgotten by Western historians.
