Kushite-Roman Conflict & War: A Clash of Empires in Ta-Seti (Nubia)

The conflict between the Kushites and the Romans stands as a riveting chapter in the annals of history, revealing the clash of two mighty civilizations and the resilient spirit of the Kushite people. It all began after Egypt came under the dominion of the Roman Empire, following the defeat of Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the famed battle of Actium in 31 BC. This marked the inception of Roman…

Cleopatra & Amanirenas versus the Romans

The Nile Valley queens Cleopatra of Egypt and Amanirenas of Kush are up against the wrath of the Roman legions! Can our heroines fight their way out of this predicament and defeat one the mightiest armies in the first century BC?

This is of course a fictional “alternate history” scenario I did for the sheer fun of it, but I really like the idea of Cleo and Amani teaming up against Rome. One wonders whether Cleopatra’s Egypt might have held up a little longer with more Kushite support…

The Kushite Empire raised some of history’s most fearsome warriors. But what makes them really stand out is the fact they were all women, raised from birth for battle.

The pyramids in Sudan were built over a period of hundreds of years by a civilization known as the Nubians. The Nubians were initially conquered by the Egyptians and for centuries lived under Egyptian administration. After the Egyptian dynasties fell into dissaray, Nubia broke free and became its own empire, even conquering the Egyptians for a time. Throughout their history, the two societies maintained extensive trade and cultural ties, leading to the Sudan pyramids.

I literally never give a shit about movies casting non poc characters as poc like who gives a shit. But the new netflix doccuseries about like “powerful women in history” is a fkn joke. If theyre presenting something as a “documentary” and its about history something feels fkn malicious about race changing someone like cleopatra.

Presenting something completely changed to suit the current attitude of the general populace is big big yikes. Rewriting history has always been an agent of cultural erasure and the complete decimation of TONS of things that shouldve been remembered. Rewriting history is just about reaching toward fascist territory.

If you are presenting something that is meant to be somewhat “factual” and you completely change the race of who the person fkn is…? Is that not insane? Where is the line where it becomes not ok? Can people just start claiming that all influential people of history were some kind of POC as if to say “look the atrocities committed weren’t all that bad because they’re a poc.” “They were protecting their race! their people!” by doing these awful things? Like so were the fkn nazis??? This little thing is indicative of such dangerous fallout and misinformation that can spiral down into bullshit real fast and I fkn hate it.

#BIG ASS EYEROLL #its not ‘woke’ to cast a real person from history as POC its genuinely destructive to fkng history #not all… africans are black………. #she ruled an empire of slaves just like everyone before her….. #making her black is not girl power i just HAJFNSKFNWKSJD #Her race really didnt fkn matter in like what she did for her years if ruling or like how she behaved that part doesn’t matter #but to say in our modern world that cleopatra was black has such dangerous implications #You cannot erase history and present it in a way that the modern world would like to see #thats fucking gross #the ptolemaic dynasty was… not….. black #kushite dynasty was black!!! perhaps find a woman from that dynasty and make an episode about her rather than rewrite fkng history #RANT RABT #It needs to be said that I am double indigenous and I am TIREDDDDD of shit like this #My peoples history has been destroyed again and again by this attitude

HYKSOS???

If the direct translation of Hyksos is “rulers of a foreign country” then wouldn’t Nefertiti and Akhenaten be considered foreigners to the land? It explains the connection between Abraham and Hammurabi with ease.

Moreover, it flies in the face of more recent theories that all of the dynasties of Egypt we think of were Semitic in origin. I mean, 1750 BCE is almost 1,500 years after a Kushite by the name of Menes unified North and South Egypt and set up the first dynasty.

Or, hear me out. Is it because of the way we lump together groups with the term Semitic that’s the issue. It was created by a linguist who observed the sons of Shem spoke a set of related languages. Unfortunately, the verse in Genesis that ties the sons of Shem together does so by blood. So now, we associate the Semitic language with constructs like race instead of culture.

Somebody with a more extensive grasp on history please jump in and explain this. I’m genuinely perplexed.

Marrakesh was Orlando

Marrakesh was Orlando, the Capital of Morocco, is not an attacked on the duplicate Marrakesh that is in North Africa. This post is intended to educate the masses by shedding light on the lost history of America, and to educate the masses on the domestic presence of the Moors, since the Moors have been labelled as foreign invaders from Morocco that is in North Africa. If you don’t already know,…

Samuel Huntington might have a stroke with this phrasing, the more reason to use it:

One of the first good examples of a 'Clash of Civilizations' was the clash between the Egyptianized Kushite Dynasty and the world state of Assyria, where today's Black History Month writing calls its pause. The world of the Ancient World was a much smaller place with powerful kingdoms in localized areas, that exercised very vast power indeed in much smaller areas and were completely unconcerned with things like 'freedom' and 'human rights' when they had the power to flex it, though the writings of the merchants of old Assyria show equally cynically that where they could not there are prototypes of appeals of the weak against the strong.

Assyria, however, invented the concept not just of the grand king of kings, which predated them as far back as Sarru-Urukhin of Agade (in usual Anglicization Sargon of Akkad), but a true world empire that spanned everywhere its armies could reach. It developed the system of provinces, roads and post offices, mass ethnic cleansing to be a 'final solution' to bothersome thorns in the flesh, and other atrocities that would become the standard points of classical to modern empires.

The great Kushite Dynasty was an apex of the previous era, of the Ancient versus the first stirrings of the Classical. In the event the sheer weight of the Assyrian state and the powers it invented and could call upon were too much and for the first of many times the Pharaohs fell before the power of world states that wanted Egypt as a granary and treated it as such.

There is also something very modern and ironic about a clash of civilizations between the first of the true world empires (and yes it was first, Qin would not unify China for another 500 years or so by the time these guys got started on the Empire business) and a Black state standing for an older order. In this case the Pharaohs lost decisively and the Assyrians confirmed the new order that would find its counterparts in central Asia and in East Asia and in Mesoamerica and the Andes and become a global standard elsewhere.

The Kingdom of Kush: An Ancient Civilization in the Nile Valley

The Kingdom of Kush, also known as the Kushite Empire, holds a significant place in the annals of ancient history. This powerful kingdom flourished in Nubia, an area along the Nile Valley encompassing present-day northern Sudan and southern Egypt. With a rich and complex history, the Kingdom of Kush emerged as a formidable force, engaging in warfare, trade, and cultural exchange with neighboring…

Tarzan and the Queens of the Nile

It is 30 BC in an alternate timeline, and the Romans have used a sorcerous rite powered by the time god Saturn to pluck Tarzan of the Apes out of the early 20th century into their own time. They tell the poor ape-man that they will let him return home only on the condition that he assassinate those two troublesome Queens of the Nile, Cleopatra of Egypt and Amanirenas of Kush. Can our two heroines fend off Tarzan’s attacks and then offer him an alternate path to his native time period?

This version of Tarzan, by the way, is my interpretation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s original character.

The Kushites went from underdogs to Egypt’s rulers. How did they rise to such power?
