NUBIAN PHARAOHS AND MEROITIC KINGS: THE KINGDOM OF KUSH Necia Desiree Harkless has completed her odyssey of 24 years initiated by a poem that emerged in the odd moments of early morning and her studies as a Donovan Scholar at the University of Kentucky with Dr. William Y. Adams, the leading Nubiologist of the world. The awesome result is her attempt to map the cultural, social, political history of Nubia "as a single people as actors on the world stage as they act out their destinies in the cradle of civilization". The underlying purpose of her book "is to reconstruct the collective efforts of the past and present Nubian campaigns and their collaborative scholarship so that the African American as well as all Americans can begin to understand the contributions of the civilization of Africa and Asia as a continuous historical entity". The history of the Kingdom of Kush begins with its earliest kingdom of Kerma in 2500 BC. It continues with the conquest of Egypt by the Nubian Pharaohs in 750 BC, reluctantly recognized as the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egyptian Pharaohs. They ruled as black pharaohs from their Kingdom at Napatan until they were forced one hundred years later to retreat to Napata by the Assyrians who assumed control of the Egyptians. It was at Meroe, the last empire of the Kush, that forty generations of Meroitic kings and queens continued the Kingdom of Kush reaching monumental and dynastic heights. Their symbiotic relationship with Egypt was over, allowing them to develop their own indigenous culture with a language and script of their own. Their architecture, arts , politics , material and spiritual culture in the minds of many scholars surpassed that of Egypt. Over two hundred pyramids have been investigated. It is an epic that will be long remembered. The dawn of Christianity in the Kingdom of Kush has been found in the treasure cove of the Frescoes of Faras.

3.0 out of 5 stars How the mighty have fallen!
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2009

My major problems with this book are twofold:1.) I could write a book about the typos alone and 2.)out of 190+ pages, maybe 10 actually talk about the title subject. The title is totally misleading! I have no problem with the afrocentric bias of the author (actually I tend to agree with her),but I expected a history and listing of the kings and queens, not a geography lesson. I learned more about the Egyptian pharaohs than I did about the main subject. As far as the typos are concerned,you would think that an author of her quality would have someone do a better proofreading job on this. I spent more time trying to figure out what words or dates were meant than what the actual point was. That's the problem with buying books discount;you never know what was meant.

2.0 out of 5 stars Amanirenas Was a Sovereign Queen for 30 years, not 2...
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2021
The timeline and information is inaccurate. Amanirenas ruled from 40 BCE to 10 BCE. She was a sovereign Qore, not a "non-ruling wife." She brokered the deal with Augustus. The archival research supports this, as do reports from Pliny and Strabo.

Proofread for typos.

It was a well researched book though I am looking for a definitive work on the 25th dynasty. I would recommend this work however.

This works was truly excellent! In all actuality - that is an understatement to say the least. The precise detail, dedication and determination...truly has to be admired. The gaps, or uncertainties which one may have truly will be eradicated with this scholarly piece. Facts and Evidence. Feelings and Opinions are truly not the case when dealing with this subject matter at hand. Archaeologically, Historically, Geographically, Architecturally, Pottery, Sculptures, Linguistics and Script writing are the basis of this divine writing. .
