Some years ago, I discovered that traditional history lied to us about the line of the Pharaohs dying out with Cleopatra.
It didn’t.
The red and white pieces of the pharaoh’s crown meant something the rest of the world didn’t understand.
During intense research I discovered that Cleo was the last Ptolemaic Pharaoh. But not the last Pharaoh.
After her death. the Southern half of Egypt, the Nubian half, rose up after driving out August Caesar with the help of the Kandance (Warrior Queens) [Candace], Ethiopia and Meroe, and this dynasty ruled Egypt for another five hundred years. There were names of other rulers after her but the names were erased. So we don’t know exactly who they were.
So, in short, the line of the pharaohs outlasted the Caesars.
The last of the pharaohs was a woman but her name was not Cleopatra. Her name was Queen Lakhideamani. She was of Nubian ancestry. She lived in the fifth century AD not BC and after her death the country set up a governing system similar to the English Parliament. Similar to what was already in place but ruled by governorship of provinces.
It’s believed this is where Charles Martel may have copied the idea of the Magna Carta.
Remember, Arabic and Egyptians are not the same people. This present-day system of Muslim influence had nothing to do with the customs of Egypt. What we see today didn’t become fully installed until the late 1800’s.
I know some aren’t going to like my discovery of what brought down Egypt. Which is far older than western archaeologists are giving it credit. It was overran by constant warfare from all sides. War waged by those who wanted to expand a slave trade out of Africa through the route of the Sinai Pensulia and sea ports.
For centuries, Christian armies guarded these road ways to make sure no one took hostages out of their homes and enslaved them. Muslims and many European pagan societies teaches that it’s OK to enslave other humans.
The traditional history books doesn’t tell us about the fierce battles fought to keep the slave traders from The Middle East, Asia and Europe out. And that these battles even expanded into Asia Minor to shut down the slave trade along the Silk Road.
That’s why the pope, Pope Gregory signed a creed in 1411 authorizing Christians to do so. To own and sell slaves. However, Rome’s sister church in Northern Africa debunked the creed saying it was against the very principles of Christendom. This is what set off a war that lasted three hundred years.
I guess it’s hard to win when you’re being attacked from all sides and from within. So did Europe, Asia, and the Middle East join forces to bring the guardian of Africa down? Unfortunately, yes.
When the final conquest was accomplished Europe had the most gun power and turned on its allies.
It was no coincident that the Age of Exploration grew into full swing with the easy availability of free labor.
Completely defeating Egypt and its allies in the mid-1400’s opened up Africa to the worst catastrophe of forced human migration in the history of humanity.
I always thought something didn’t sound right about this story passed down to us. I mean Egypt had gone up against Darius I and survived. Alexander the Great and survived. I didn’t think the line of the pharaoh died out with Cleo. By Egyptian standards the Ptolemys weren’t exactly seen as pharaohs. That’s why there aren’t any great monuments to honor them. They were conquerors not Egyptians and they were not part of Egypt as the Nubian were.

The story never sounded correct to me either so I decided to dig further to see what I could find and lo and behold there were lots of pharaohs after Cleo.

Were not for Egypt there would be no Greece. Evidence been found that show Egypt had a great deal to do with the finding and thriving of Greece. That Greece was once a colony of Egypt. If you look at it for what it is, you will find civilizations no where near the Nile but Egypt had an influence on their thriving. This tells us a lot about ancient Egypt. Apparently, they were interested in helping other thrive not conquering them.

Yes, it’s astonishing to see how the ancient world was once connected. And how advanced it was.
It’s believe Egyptian influence expanded all the way from the Aztec pyramids, to the water irrigation system of Stonehenge to the Mounds in Midwestern United States, even as far east as China and Japan. I think Egypt gave the world a foundation in civilization totally unmatched even by modern technology.

You study about these battles funded by Mansa Musa in Advanced African history. Is that what the book about?

Hi, it’s great to see someone ware of the fact Africans didn’t just sit by and let the slave trade take place. There were centuries of warfare to prevent it.
Yes, you study about the battles Mansa Musa financed to help fight against the Muslim and Islamic slave trade. He predates the Pope signing a creed in 1411 authorizing what later became known as the African Slave trade. This caused the Muslims to attack his empire.
Rome, Europe, China and the Middle East created an alliance predating Mansa Musa to fight the African Christian strong hold which was nearly fourth centuries older than the See of Rome. The alliance was to start what became the African Slave trade.
The parts of Christendom they wanted to defeat and start a steady out-pour of human cargo were located in Egypt, Eritrea, the African Judah which ancient maps shows expanded all the way from Ethiopia to the west coast of African and parts in
Yes, this book does mention this subject in great depths. It talks about the wars found to prevent the African Slave Trade from becoming what it did. But the book about Mansa Musa is the link below.

Yes, let history tell it Cleo was the last one. But she was not.
