History wasn’t lost.
It was edited.
What survived wasn’t truth —
it was what power could preserve.

📜 Hidden History: Nubia & the Black Pharaohs
~730–656 BCE
Sudan 🇸🇩 ➜ Egypt 🇪🇬
Long before modern borders, Nubian kings ruled Egypt.
Not as destroyers —
but as restorers.
They preserved Egypt’s rituals
revived pyramid burials
and ruled as the 25th Dynasty
often called the Black Pharaohs.
⸻
👑 King Piye (Piankhi)
Marched north from Nubia
Unified Egypt
Claimed legitimacy through tradition — not force
He didn’t erase Egypt.
He remembered it.
⸻
✨ What you’re seeing
🪽 A gold winged goddess
Protection • rebirth • divine authority
🏺 A Kushite gold amulet bottle
Nubian royalty fused with Egyptian gods
(Hathor, Isis, eternal life)
Crafted by goldsmiths whose skill rivaled —
and sometimes surpassed — earlier dynasties.
⸻
🏜️ Why this matters
Egypt relied on Nubia’s gold mines
Feared their power
Adopted their culture
Nubian rulers became
“more Egyptian than the Egyptians.”
They built pyramids at
El Kurru • Nuri • Meroë
A high African civilization
nearly erased from history.
⸻
📚 Remembering what was buried
This isn’t revisionism.
It’s restoration.

As if everyone remembers who they talked to when they were teenagers.
NSYNC did perform at my high school. And I was loathe to walk with them.
Me: why a boy band need an escort? DIS IS FUBAR!!!
We were teenagers 😂
