#25th egyptian dinasty
Text
Upon the controversy of netflix Cleopatra’s documentary I cannot believe we are still sleeping on the Kushite dinasty. I like Cleopatra but Piye did not went all the way from Nubia to conquest a war torn Egypt just to be forgotten. How is there not a documentary about how he conquered the city of Memphis intalling his sister Amenerdis and later daughter Shepenupet as Divine Adoratrice of Amon who ruled in his name.
The Black pharaos did not invest on rebuilding Egyptian ancient monuments, styled thelmselves as pharaohs a tried to build pyramides for a Greek Ptolomaic to be remember as a Black Pharaoh. (Not to speak about the Queens Kandake of Meroe who ruled Kush on their own at the same time of Cloepatra family).
