This is a inspiring talk with Aaron deSouza Archaeological Research UC Berkeley about how much more complex the people were in ancient Nubia. Along with a more decolonized understanding ..than of the 20th century & the outdated views which were( racist ) about Nubia & ancient Egypt & their overlap...This along with other lectures discussions about ancient Egypt( Kemet ) Nubia shows me that a new generations of Egyptologist/ Nubolgist are not buying the Okidoki of the past ..also more of a cross disciplines approach is needed to really get a better more nuanced understanding of the Nile Valley Civilizations ...

This is a in-depth lecture on the Kushite armies by Dr.Jeremy Pope & if & how they defeated the Assyrians by the 25 th dynasty of Kush/Egypt ..he answers a lots of questions that I've had about this defeat over the years..many might have read the groundbreaking book the Rescue Of Jerusalem...but Jeremy Pope digs deep into the how & whys ..he leaves no stone upturned, with clear, crisp, detailed information about the latest findings on this topic..I really enjoyed him & his lecture..It's a joy to now see Kush/Nubia getting the spotlight by a new crop of archaeologist etc...it's about TIME..

Excellent find! It even mentions a stelae on the Dahshur Road, which Taharaqo erected to his soldiers after an evening run.. Apparently it was a great workout session. Great stuff.

yes. DeSouza's stuff is great.
the Nile Valley appear to have a similar peopling and cultural pattern to Western Europe but with Nile Valley people.
In Western Europe, A common 'Germanic' peoples who have over time develop distinct ethnicities, subethnicities,language, etc. but have always traded, fought, intermarried, even identify themselves as having a common lineage vis a vis outsiders and non Westerners.
If there is no separating Nubia from Egypt and Ta Seti being the first nome, (....and Kush), then the so called "Egyptian Race Controversy" simply doesn't exist and its claim to exist is a tool to obfuscate.

i knew by reading Drs. Cheikh Anta Diop,Chancellor Williams,Josef Ben Jochannan and other scholars That Wawat,Kush,and Khemit were interconnected ethnically and culturally before the internet in the eighties but with books.
This neurosis of excising Khemit from the African Continent is nothing but a blatant coverup to over glorify the whites and will be shattered and thrown into the trash and wind.Not all whites though there are some coloreds who gladly peddle this neurosis also.
