Nubians also defeated the Persians and Greeks in battle, their archery was renowned throughout the world, but history books don't want to talk about that.
@Micheal Hnat You're wrong on everything... Ancient kush was all of sudan not Ethiopia... Ethiopians was what Greeks called nubians... And nubians are Sudanic not nilotic
@Micheal Hnat You're living in some fantasy...Are u stupid??? I said Ethiopians were what Greeks called nubians u idiot ....can u read?? And again the merotic language is related to Sudanic language..old nubian is related to modern nubiin.. Spoken by aswan nubians... Merotic language is far from nilotic.. Here is a break down of the merotic language... drive.google.com/file/d/13co2QeibfoOzBzb_l3bTkp9feDC7Lu5J/view?usp=drivesdk Nubians live in the nubian Sahara 8k years ago.. The methodological basis of Christopher Ehret’s linguistic reconstruction, bracketing a period around 8 000 BC for Proto-Northern Sudanic (part of the Nilo-Saharan language family) Proto-Northern Sudanic language contains root words such as “to drive,” “cow, “grain,””ear of grain,” and “grindstone.” Any of these might apply to food production, but another root word meaning “to milk” is cetainly the most convincing evidence of incipient pastoralism. There are also root words for “temporary shelter” and “to make a pot.” In the succeeding Proto-Saharo-Sahelian language, there are root words for “to cultivate”, “to prepare field”, to “clear” (of weeds), and “cultivated field.” this is the first unambiguous linguistic evidence of cultivation. There are also words for “thornbush cattle pen,” “fence,” “yard,” “grannary,” as well as “to herd” and “cattle.” In the following Proto-Sahelian period, there are root words for “goat,” “sheep,” “ram,” and “lamb,” indicating the presence of small livestock. There are root words for “cow,” “bull,” “ox,” and “young cow” or “heifer” and, indeed, a variety of terms relating to cultivation and permanent houses
@Micheal Hnat You're using the bible as archeological evidence... Lolo good joke... U think nubians still dress like they did 3000 years ago?? I just gave u the linguist evidence of Saharan people of the region and the linguist evidence of region.. U just by passed it and then brings up the bible lolol... Like i said the merotic language is close to old nubian related to modern nubiin... Ancient sudan and modern sudan are not that different... Different ethnic groups live in many parts like they do today..nilotic tribes in the south are our brothers but the ruling class of kush were the northern Sudanic people.. Even cushitic tribes in Sudan were apart of kush.. Ok here is a drawing of nubian mercenaries by the Egyptians...

The Roman were defeated in Nubia point blank. Kush kept all his land and remain fully independant and did not had to pay tribute to Rome and last another 500 years...The Romans, like the Greeks, like the Persian Empire did not succeded to conquered Kush. Lets face it, it is clearly not the Kushites who asked for peace but the Romans who just could not do anything so deep in Africa. That defeated occured in 22 BC and Kush was still so powerfull 500 years later. when pagan cults were banned in the Roman Empire around 450 AD, the cult of Isis remains allowed in Philæ for the Nubians only. Only a victorious empire can have that kind of privileges. Rome was defeated in Africa end of the Story.
@@jrjoseph9213 There is only one claim you repeated multiple times; since you pretend to be clueless, however, I'll spell out the obvious. The romans didn't lose to the Nubians, and that's not according to me, that's reality. The Nubians wanted to negotiate for peace after the battle at Qasr Ibrim and become a client state of Rome. That isn't something you do as a victor.
@@bobthabuilda1525 So you say The Roman did not lose but the Nubians somehow managed to Regain Qasr Ibrim , did not had to pay tribute to Rome, extented their border to Maharaqqa(Hieraskaminos) Which is north of Qasr Ibrim and retain the rights to go to Philae until 450AD....What an interesting "victory" by the Romans a nice expression of Clemency to those who were "defeated". Even if it defies logic some people like you will repeat a lie until you believe its true.
It's obvious that certain chapters in history are either proposly ignored or altered. It's a disservice to all mankind when this happens. But eventually Truth emerges and reveals it's self.
Zack WY wow someone is triggered and butthurt over an unknown history. Are you like this hurt over other non powerful kingdoms defeating powerful empires lol
Technically he never took a crown but in the end that's just semantics. He was the sole ruler of Rome and was therefore Emperor. I have no problem with calling him Emperor because, functionally, that's what he was at the time.
Whammy Bard no: Caesar was a DICTATOR, Like Cincinnatus or Silla before him ... It was something very different ... Besides, the term emperor was military and not political... Emperor has began to be used as a political word in the late empire , especially the Eastern part (Byzantine)... Emperors like Augustus (the first proper Roman emperor) were called PRINCE, CAESAR and later AUGUSTUS. Prince was also a military term during the Republican times .... But Caesar was definitely a dictator .
Ekphrasys Caesar was named Imperator after being named Dictator. It's also the origin of the word Emperor. I don't think Sulla got that title but you're right that technically Caesar wasn't king or Emperor by title. He did have pretty much the same powers as an emperor though, and was able to pass his title through heredity unlike what the Republican constitution prescribed.
Queen Amanirenas lost her husband and son to the war, but in the end she sat triumphant over the head of Caesar Augustus in her Sovereign Nubian Kingdom full of never-ending gold, beauty and wealth the likes of which most Romans would never know. Black Excellence.
@Physical Removal lol. Right, Rome is totally cool with getting smacked in the face and not going back to crush those who disrespect them. You're delusional. There is plenty of evidence that they actually respected the Nubians and even enlisted them in their army. Nubians were better as trading partners than subjects -- unlike most of Europe which the Romans viewed as useless barbarians... Most of Rome's gold was from Nubia and Egypt (Egypt's was from Nubia)...
@Physical Removal It's funny how you read that without realizing the adoration for the Nubian King. You also fail to realize how Flavius is comparing Nubian slaves to Greek slaves or Arabic slaves - who are weaker and useless. There were slaves of every race - and there still is. Silly modern westerners have convinced themselves they've never been slaves and only black people were ever slaves - so stupid. Your racial version of history is actually a cage that you are choosing to keep yourself in. I hope you can find your way out.
Rome eventually conquered Carthage (Tunisia today). They were enemies. Hannibal, took a longer northern route to conquer Rome, but failed. He lost nearly have his Army and Elephants too.. He was at the doorsteps of Rome. Rome, did have an interest in Northeastern Africa to extend their Empire. Even Mussolini conquered Ethiopia in 1936. He thought he was another Julius Caesar. Sadly to say.
Thanks again for working with us on this video. it was a lot of fun to research and share. We hope that everyone enjoys listening as much as we did making it. A couple of corrections in the audio, we meant to say Julius Caesar was functionally emperor of Rome. While he had all the powers of an emperor, his official title was actually Dictator for life. Second, Nubia ruled Egypt for 88 years in the 25th dynasty. The 26th was actually the last Native African dynasty to rule Egypt before they were replaced by the Persian Empire in 525 BCE.
I have no problem with calling Caesar "Emperor" because functionally that's what he was at that point in time. Calling him anything else is just playing word games.

This was very interesting. Usually that part of Rome history is never mention probably because most historians and people think that it's not an important part of Rome history. I will admit that I never knew about these wars.
Reading the works of Dr,John henrick Clark,you will get all off that and more,and in his words,time never dear entered Nubia, because the queen was there waiting on the Romans,with one of the stronge and powerful army,
It wasn't really a war. There are lots of Roman incursions that ended like this one. It's not anything special. Had they wished to they could have certainly captured all of this territory but it wasn't worth it. Look at the Roman incursions into Saudi Arabia for example.
The same reason why they left Mali empire out of the history books or why they tried to make us think before -525 B.C that ancient kemet (ancient Egypt) was black.
Yeah, I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned. If you don't want to turn your fellow triumvir against you, you probly shouldn't divorce his sister. Mark Antony was not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
Whammy Bard She didn't have much choice there, really. Octavian wasn't interested. Besides, Antony was an alcoholic and a bit of a hedonist (he was Epicurean among other factors). By all accounts Antony considered Octavian a spoiled upstart too young and inexperienced for his position. Antony thought himself the better choice and was a seasoned, gifted general. So he probably made Octavian angry on purpose thinking he could bait him east and beat him with Egyptian help.
Or leave the place you are living in, the day before your pregnant wife was scheduled to arrive. Octavia had made the trip to get Mark Anthony to stop his conflict with her younger brother. The age difference between the two, made the relationship more mother-son then siblings. Octavia ended up traveling with her brother to Egypt. When Cleopatra committed suicide her household went into choas. Octavia on hearing of Cleopatra's death, went to Cleopatra's house to recover the two children of her husband, Mark Anthony (they were never divorced) for taking care of her husband's children was seen as a duty of a Roman wife, especially when the real mother is dead. She raised both children through adulthood, a daughter marrying a North African King. What Mark Anthony did when he made sure he would not be on the island he had been living on, leaving on the day before his pregnant wife was to arrive, made it easy for Octavian to get the Roman people and Roman Army and Navy behind him in the war against Mark Anthony.
@@danial469 On 1 March 1979, The New York Times carried an article on its front page, written by Boyce Rensberger, with the headline: "Nubian Monarchy Called Oldest". In the article, Rensberger wrote: "Evidence of the oldest recognizable monarchy in human history, preceding the rise of the earliest Egyptian kings by several generations, has been discovered in artifacts from ancient Nubia." He estimated that "The first kings of Ta-Seti may well have ruled about 5900 BC." Bruce Williams, archaeologist at the University of Chicago, continuing the research, adds his perspective. "A newly discovered ancient kingdom is always a matter of interest, but when it precedes the earliest known monarchy, the unification of Egypt in the fourth millennium B.C., then history itself is reborn. The place is ancient Nubia at Qustul, where the investigation of archaeological materials recovered during the great 1960s rescue effort has recently unveiled a birthplace of pharaonic civilization several generations before the rise of the first historic Egyptian dynasty." (Archeology Magazine) Just west of the city of Kerma lies the site of Busharia, where shards of pottery dating from 8000 to 9000 BC have been found. A nearby discovery at El-Barga shed light on foundations of round buildings, graves and pottery shards from 7,500 BC. Therefore Kushitic civilization began on the banks of the Nile over 15,000 years ago and was settled at least 55,000 years prior. Furthermore, based on the traditions of the first settlers and the artifacts found in this region, Kushitic civilization gave birth to that of so-called "Egypt" (see also: Nile Valley Civilization).

Nubian/s is the 10th century Muslim Egyptian name for Black slaves from African Continent. 19th Century Western European historians, used this name, as to legitimize the role of Black people as slaves in Europe and the Americas. Now its being used by Afro-Centric historians, to wash away the rich and diverse history of African nations and Empires. As it does not conform to the post-modern African American vision of what Ancient should be in their eyes. We need to stop using the word NUBIA/N as their was no such thing as the "Empire or land of the Salves".

If you really believe this side of this story which is from the Romans, then you are a fool. It is quite inconsistent with the Roman way of conducting war.

The Nubians couldn’t defeat the Romans. Even the Parthians were far weaker than the Romans who conquered all their territories along the Tigris and Euphrates. They had logistical problems maintaining such massive swathes of territories with their primitive communication technology. They constantly had civil wars by generals who tried to break away from Rome.

@Best Commentseva The fact you don’t know about the city of Ctesiphon of the Parthians was captured by Rome five times in its history - three times in the 2nd century alone. The emperor Trajan captured Ctesiphon in 116, but his successor, Hadrian, decided to willingly return Ctesiphon in 117 as part of a peace settlement is proof you have no idea what you’re talking about. Rome was practically invisible during its golden age.
@Sharon Scavella Cleopatra was Greek. Pharaohs during the Ptolomaic era were Greek not native Egyptians. Native Egyptians were never able regain control of Egypt again after the Persians conquered them in 525 bce. Then the Greeks conquered Egypt in 332 bce. Also there’s more than one cleopatra there were 7. The Cleopatra they’re referring to in this video is the last Cleopatra.
I’m from Sudan and recently went back to visit the motherland about a year ago. I got visit Meroe during my month long vacation. It is sad that the gold thirsty colonizers destroyed the tops of our pyramids using TNT in search of gold. Also, the Nubian language is nearing extinction. I hope our new government will recognize it and teach it in schools throughout our country. Throughout our recent political protests we referred to our Sudanese women as kandakas (warrior queens) for their bravery in protesting our military.
@Zak Jansen First of all, who said I wanted to be white? Colonization paved way to many conflicts in my country. My family didn't expect the issues to be resolved in a short period of time so they decided to leave the country and moved to America. In America, my father became a physician at the world's biggest cancer center and my mother became a biostatistician at the world's biggest medical center. I am currently in medical school. My family came to America legally, became citizens, never broke the law, pay our taxes, and never used any federal assistance programs. Moreover, we volunteer regularly in America and give money to those in need in both America and Sudan. If situation in Sudan improves, we all intend to move back. America has benefitted from my family being here. So you can fuck off with that 'go back to your country' bs.

I suppose it's one of those "the more I learn the less I know" situations.

Because the west doesn’t deny Kush’s blackness I wouldn’t doubt that they do have a way to translate their language but won’t make it public seeing that all black history has to be denied and whitewashed. Great example is Egypt. They claim Egypt was everything except what it was before the Greeks conquered. They did leave countless images portraying their likeness and no your eyes don’t deceive you when you see them as black.

European Historians accurately documented the defeats that Rome suffered at the hands of the Gauls, Germans, Carthaginians, Iberians, Parthians, Mongols etc. I see no reason to conclude that it suddenly started hiding defeats just because they were fighting against Nubians.
I'm sorry but those European historians have every reason to document the Roman defeats at the hands of Germanic tribes, Gauls etc as those are the people they descend from and the mongols defeats were documented by other peoples as well(muslims) so it would be hard to hide...lets not forget that the Nubians are black and if that is not self explanatory enough as to why colonial era historians(of which a lot of todays work is based off) would hide that then I'm sorry you need help
Great video, thank you for sharing this important piece of history, you should definitely do more videos on ancient African empires, they like many other important parts of history are not covered enough!
Great video! Very interesting and informative. Just needs higher sound volume and much clearer narration. How about a video about the Arab slave trade in East Africa and the European conquests that put an end to it, like General Charles "Chinese" Gordon; the Congo Arab wars; the conquest of Zanzibar; the continuing Arab slave trade.
"meh-ro-IT-ic." "MEH-ro-ee." I'll never understand how someone can put so much work into making a video like this then think "Meh, I'll just wing it on the pronunciation of key terms" especially when the information is so readily available. It so unnecessarily undermines all the other work.
1) ancient Egypt had already been brought to an end by the Greeks. The Romans came when Egypt was already hellenized. 2) Egypt was not in ruins. Despite some war damages, it remained one of the wealthiest regions in the Mediterranean (which is why the Romans wanted it). 3) the Romans lost what?!? There were 2 legionary campaigns, and both were tactically victorious: the legionaries managed to push deep into Kushan territory and even sacked their capital city. Strategically, the Romans gained a stable border and a safe trading passage (close to the most important trading route for the Empire), much more convenient than further military pushes.
@@MichaelClayton64 1 - The treaty granted to the Romans that the Dodekaschoinos was to remain Imperial control despite the invasion attempt of the Nubians and their claims, as well as war reparations like the return of the stolen statues, and also granted to the Romans the loot from Nabata and the other Nubian cities. On the other hand, the Nubians were granted to not pay tributes to Rome. I'll repeat it more schematically: > The Romans LOST their tributes but GAINED a stable Dodekaschoinos + the loot of Nabata. > The Nubians LOST the Dodekaschoinos forever + their loot on Egyptian cities but GAINED to not pay tributes to Rome. > Both gained peace and the wealth from the stable trading route. I've never claimed that the Romans won the war, and surely no one can claim that Meroe won the war. It was a fair peace treaty. "because roman egypt was starting to crumble" This is absolutely false. The Nubians were driven off Egypt as soon as the Legions arrived. Peace treaties happened when the two Legions were inside Kushan territory. Other 23 legions were at disposal of Rome at that time. 2 - True, Napata wasn't formally the capital of the kingdom, like Rome wasn't formally the capital of the late Roman Empire. But still, that was an important raid to say the least, like the Vandal and Goth raids on Rome despite the capital being in Ravenna (or Constantinople or whatever). 3 - Just because Meroe didn't win the war, it doesn't mean that they lost it. The same goes for the Romans. As mentioned, both parties gained and lost things, so that the final result is fairly neutral for both. And i invite you not to forget that the Legions were never defeated in that war, while the Nubian army was. "Common sense that the Nubians were kicking arse" Except that they were pushed back by the 2 Legions despite the huge numerical superiority and despite having the home court advantage...
History of Early Ethiopia or Kush (13,000-7500 BC) The region known as Kush has been inhabited for several millennia. Royal Ontario Museum and University of Khartoum researchers found a "tool workshop" south of Dongola, Sudan with thousands of paleolithic axes on rows of stones, dating back 70,000 years. As early as 13,000 BC, ceremonial burial practices were taking place at Jebel Sahaba and Wadi Halfa in the northern part of modern-day Sudan (known to archaeologists as the "Qadan" period, 13,000-8,000 BC). At the Toshka site in modern-day "Lower Nubia," archaeologists have uncovered tombs where domesticated wild cattle were placed above human remains, indicative of the use of cattle in a ceremonial fashion. Circular tomb walls with above-ground mounds are further evidence of the beginnings of ceremonial burials. At other sites nearby, we can see the development of Ethiopian (better known as "Egyptian") civilization. At the Kadruka cemetery, spouted vessels were found, and the tombs at El Gaba were filled with jewelry, pottery, ostrich feathers, headrests, facial painting, etc.--all of which were present in "dynastic Egypt," and are still used today amongst different peoples of modern-day Ethiopia. The neolithic Sabu rock paintings even depict dynastic Egyptian-style boats. Just west of the city of Kerma lies the site of Busharia, where shards of pottery dating from 8000 to 9000 BC have been found. A nearby discovery at El-Barga shed light on foundations of round buildings, graves and pottery shards from 7,500 BC. Therefore Kushitic civilization began on the banks of the Nile over 15,000 years ago and was settled at least 55,000 years prior. Furthermore, based on the traditions of the first settlers and the artifacts found in this region, Kushitic civilization gave birth to that of so-called "Egypt"
intresting info about arab archers professionalism in your video! in Khalid ibn alwaleed siege of Anbar fortress in Iraq, his archers manged to hit several hundreds eyes of Sasannid soldiers in one moment, and in arab resources they even call the event battle of the eyes. i read this event skeptically till i heard your info about nubian and arab archers' skill. i hope u make that new video soon thanx for your effort and loved your work
Got any videos of the 70 AD Roman Hebrew war? You know how the Hebrews had to run into Africa and migrate west to the horn of African? That’s a really important moment in time.
Egypt was only know by that name from the Greek, Not before .and it was not thousands of years because the Greek received its arts, science, religion ,from kemit.
At 2:47 you say "Julius Caesar was crowned Emperor of Rome". This is not true, he was never Emperor. He was Dictator in 49BC, 48-47BC, 46-44BC and then "Dictator in perpetuity" in 44BC, but it wasn't until 27BC that Rome got its first Emperor in Julius Caesar's grand-nephew and adopted son Augustus.
What's the difference between Emperor and Dictator? They both have absolute power and nothing good has ever come from that. Just curious as to what makes them different other than the name...
I don't know how much of this presentation to believe, seeing as how you stated that the Kushites ruled the 26th dynasty of Egypt, when that statement is false/inaccurate. They ruled the 25th dynasty.
A few things first. Nubian-Roman War ended in a stalemate that went on for 5 years but it is true the treaty was mostly signed in favor of the Nubians and the taxation of her people in Lower Nubia was revoked so Amanirenas achieved her objectives eitherway. Other wars fought with Nubians and other Empires were... Egyptian and Nubians teamed up and drove out the Hyksos from Africa. Egyptian New Kingdom-Nubian war - Egypt won and conquered Nubia for centuries. Nubian-Persian war - Nubia won defeating Persian armies. Assyrian-Nubian wars - Nubia won three times under the commands of Shebitku, Shabaka and later Taharqa and ultimately saved Jerusalem aka modern-day Isreal. He would later lose against the Neo-Assyrian army a few decades later and die in Thebes in 664 BCE. His nephew Tantamani would win a few battles against them and retake Lower Egypt but would be driven back to Nubian lands and lose the war ending the 104 year 25th dynasty for good. Libyan Egyptian-Nubian war - Nubia won under the command of Pharaoh Kashta in 760BCE establishing the 25th dystanty and conquering Egypt, parts of Libya, and expand somewhat into Arabia. After Kingdom of Kush was weaken, it collapsed from the invasion of the Aksumite Empire in 350CE. Shortly afterwards it would form three powerful Christian Kingdoms, Alodia, Nobatia, Makuria which would last until 1504 CE ending the Nubian civilisation for good and beginning the era of Islam in Sudan. Nubians defeated the Islamic conquerers from West Asia twice and signed the longest peace treaty in human history for 600 years, Baqt pact.
I see that your summary has 10 key wars/ battles won by the Nubians according to your summary. Why don't you collaborate with one african video makers on RUclips to make ten (10) different short documentaries based on your summary above?! Its good you posted here but this vital information will reach millions if partnered with a professional RUclips video maker. Thanks!
Some advice, if y'all divide this documentary into parts it would be wise to add timestamps into the description so people can jump to parts in case they didn't have the time to watch the whole video.
Their goal was to conquer Kush....they failed. Her goal was to defend it which in the end she succeeded. Its not a wash like say the battle of Meggido but the terms clearly favored the Kushite position.
In pompei there is soilder that appeears to be nubian .His ash corps is defenatly black african and with a roman sword wouldve been part of the milatary police. just intersting to see someone so far from there homelamd actually in an authoratative job.

Have to disagree, this was a clear Roman victory. First of all this was not a Roman 'invasion,' but rather a retaliatory campaign against earlier Nubian raids into southern Egypt. Just 2 Roman legions managed to march half way through Nubia, capture and destroy Napata, one of the major cities in Kush, and win every major battle in this war. Only their stretched supply lines prevented them from going any farther. Again, this was all done with only 2 legions! Furthermore, the Nubian King and his son were both killed in the conflict. The only "victory" the Nubian Queen could claim, if you want to call it that, was that she survived to make a treaty with Rome that kept her kingdom from being conquered.
@Christian Kenny Greeks and ROMANS were the worst thing to happen to the nile valley, they both destroyed pharaonic culture..."last time u check"lolol u know what i meant...pharaonic culture not pyramids..im not concerned with any other religion...it's just facts Greeks and ROMANS replaced the native gods..ROMANS would eventually convert every one to christianity....this use to be our religion too before Islam and christianity to Egypt and north Sudan
This video is inaccurate. The Nubian language was not AfroAsiatic. It was Nilothic. It is still spoken till this day. However the written language has been forgotten.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meroitic_language en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Kush the kingdom of kush spoke several languages but the mane one was the nubian
History is written by the victorious, dont take an half hearted look at the script, take a wholehearted view of the maneuver. Look at who wrote history by seeing what is going on.
That's fake Afrocentric and black nationalism nonsense. Black Nationalists like you are making up history cause they feel mad that everything that Nubia has is just borrowed from Egypt. Nubia is nothing but Egypt's copy cat so live with it.
indeed the ancient Egyptians were middle easterners\Mediterraneans and they are\were ethnically and racially different from Nubians. and No, Nubia didn't spread its culture to Egypt, it is the opposite. everything in Nubia has its traces in Egypt, Egypt invaded Nubia to take their gold and that's how Egyptian culture spread there.
@@GORO911 if Black Africans didn't spread its culture to Egypt why is the Oldest mummy in North Africa a Mummy of a Sub Saharan African child The Tashwinat Mummy found at the Uan Muhuggiag archaeological site in Libya is between 5,400 - 5,600 years old. The age of the mummy is significant because it predates any of the mummies found in neighboring Egypt. It was discovered by Professor Fabrizio Mori in 1958. The mummy is a small child, about 3 years old, that was found in the fetal position. The body was embalmed, carefully wrapped with leaves, and covered by an antelope skin; its entrails were replaced with wild herbs to help with its preservation. The Tashiwnat Mummy is currently the oldest known mummy from Africa. Since its discovery, researchers now believe that mummification in Africa did not start in Egypt, but probably elsewhere in the continent by an unknown civilization
@Akuna Joshua Well i don't think you can tell me i am not Egyptian to begin with. And what is it about "undoing what Europeans did" ? Europeans are not responsible for the black man's lack of achievements. Europeans didn't put the black man in mud huts. Europeans didn't strip the black man naked and tell him to go live in the wilderness without any sign of civility. you obviously have a problem accepting yourself as a black man.
@Tracy Sharp Stop exaggerating Kush didn't beat Rome and Rome had already conquered Egypt, a super rich province. What you fail to understand that Romans had to weigh in whether going on war against Nubia til they submit worth it. If the Romans really wanted to destroy Kush, they would keep on fighting till they crushed them.
@@abdullahiabshir9607 There are several reasons why Romans didn't conquer Nubia, Horn of Africa logistical issue, is one of them. The area, desert etc too.
@Tracy Sharp Well the Arabians defeated the Romans because of the climate and desert. Roman legions were not prepared for such kind of war in such as hot desert climate. Crassus who was defeated by the Persians was a super rich guy with an army, but a crappy general who can't be compared to Caesar. Trajan was a better general who desicvly defeated the Parthians/Persians 3 times.
@@Zarahification Kush never became the client state of the Roman Empire therefore the Romans lost the war and were defeated by the one eyed Candace and the treaty was favorable towards Meroe because the Romans were afraid they would overtax themselves trying to fight wars with Kush, We don't have the Kushite side of the story because the Meriotic script has not yet been deciphered, but when it does, the whole truth would be told.
@Quodlibeta Nubia was not occupied by the Romans so what independence are you talking about ? My men, Rome was highly overrated. Romans got destroyed plenty of times by the Greeks, Persians and Carthaginians. Rome tried to conquer Nubia like so many others such as the Greeks, Persians, Assyrians who all backed down. Nubia was a serious super power who never got conquered. Get your facts right dude.
Quodlibeta The Nubians kept their independence from the Nubians ? My man, do you even know what you're saying ? Are you drunk ? And what hostile location Rome was at ? Rome was serrounded by savages, hence the Romans beat these savages easily until they came to the more active part of the known world. The Romans where the late comers to the world stage at that time, there is nothing impressive about the Romans, even the Greeks believed the Romans where a bad copy of themselves. Let's not overglorify Rome, because was little match to the known empires. Don't believe the Eurocentric media too much dude, that love to portray Rome as some kind of super power that defeated every known civilization because they didn't. I don't disrespect the Romans or something, let's be clear on that but i feel the Eurocentric media is overhyping Rome way too much IMO

Also not all from todays Sudan were viewed as Kush, Kush was todays Upper Nubia and lower Nubia were referred to as Wawat possibly an indigenous name, the people from wawat were Cushitic speakers and called themselves Nehesi a word meaning "people" like with the pan grave culture in the east the progenitor of the Beja/Medjay also a Cushitic people, kerma was a creole culture of Cushitic and Eastern Sudanic, its like southern Britian referred to as England and northern Britain being Scotland and west Britain being Wales etc... not all of Britain being called England
Cool video bro, but as others have said Julius Caesar was never officially emperor and the Kushites founded the Nubian 25th dynasty, not the Saite 26th dynasty, which was entirely native Egyptian. I'm assuming that you just misspoke there.
True but what they need to understand is Egyptian had different Africa tribes kush is really Sudan and Ethiopia,,nubian tribe and the jola tribe are kemet or mitzrayim
@@KingSiik So? Everyone uses the Greek-derived word "Egypt" today, even modern Egyptians when they speak in English. In German, Germany is called "Deutschland", but you don't see Germans going around online commentaries in English trying to correct people about it.

🤔The Roman Empire arrived in Tanzania: in the geographic maps of ancient Rome, the city of Rhapta was at the southern edge of the known world. Surprisingly we have reports of trade contacts between Romans and this very distant emporium (4500 km from the Empire). According to Ptolemy and Pliny the Elder, several Roman merchants engaged in routine journeys to Azania (the ancient territory that today takes the name of Tanzania).
Nubians also defeated the Persians and Greeks in battle, their archery was renowned throughout the world, but history books don't want to talk about that.

Nubians live in the nubian Sahara 8k years ago..
The methodological basis of Christopher Ehret’s linguistic reconstruction, bracketing a period around 8 000 BC for Proto-Northern Sudanic (part of the Nilo-Saharan language family)
Proto-Northern Sudanic language contains root words such as “to drive,” “cow, “grain,””ear of grain,” and “grindstone.” Any of these might apply to food production, but another root word meaning “to milk” is cetainly the most convincing evidence of incipient pastoralism. There are also root words for “temporary shelter” and “to make a pot.” In the succeeding Proto-Saharo-Sahelian language, there are root words for “to cultivate”, “to prepare field”, to “clear” (of weeds), and “cultivated field.” this is the first unambiguous linguistic evidence of cultivation. There are also words for “thornbush cattle pen,” “fence,” “yard,” “grannary,” as well as “to herd” and “cattle.” In the following Proto-Sahelian period, there are root words for “goat,” “sheep,” “ram,” and “lamb,” indicating the presence of small livestock. There are root words for “cow,” “bull,” “ox,” and “young cow” or “heifer” and, indeed, a variety of terms relating to cultivation and permanent houses

The Roman were defeated in Nubia point blank. Kush kept all his land and remain fully independant and did not had to pay tribute to Rome and last another 500 years...The Romans, like the Greeks, like the Persian Empire did not succeded to conquered Kush. Lets face it, it is clearly not the Kushites who asked for peace but the Romans who just could not do anything so deep in Africa. That defeated occured in 22 BC and Kush was still so powerfull 500 years later. when pagan cults were banned in the Roman Empire around 450 AD, the cult of Isis remains allowed in Philæ for the Nubians only. Only a victorious empire can have that kind of privileges. Rome was defeated in Africa end of the Story.

The romans didn't lose to the Nubians, and that's not according to me, that's reality. The Nubians wanted to negotiate for peace after the battle at Qasr Ibrim and become a client state of Rome. That isn't something you do as a victor.
@@bobthabuilda1525 So you say The Roman did not lose but the Nubians somehow managed to Regain Qasr Ibrim , did not had to pay tribute to Rome, extented their border to Maharaqqa(Hieraskaminos) Which is north of Qasr Ibrim and retain the rights to go to Philae until 450AD....What an interesting "victory" by the Romans a nice expression of Clemency to those who were "defeated".

Gaius Iulius Caesar was never crowned Emperor. (2:47) He was "Dictator for live" but refused the crown offered to him as a symbol of kingship.
Technically he never took a crown but in the end that's just semantics. He was the sole ruler of Rome and was therefore Emperor. I have no problem with calling him Emperor because, functionally, that's what he was at the time.
@Witchfinder Nielsen
Idiot.
Whammy Bard no: Caesar was a DICTATOR, Like Cincinnatus or Silla before him ... It was something very different ... Besides, the term emperor was military and not political... Emperor has began to be used as a political word in the late empire , especially the Eastern part (Byzantine)... Emperors like Augustus (the first proper Roman emperor) were called PRINCE, CAESAR and later AUGUSTUS.
Prince was also a military term during the Republican times .... But Caesar was definitely a dictator .
...and he wasn't called "Caesar Augustus" during the Second Triumvirate.
Ekphrasys Caesar was named Imperator after being named Dictator. It's also the origin of the word Emperor. I don't think Sulla got that title but you're right that technically Caesar wasn't king or Emperor by title. He did have pretty much the same powers as an emperor though, and was able to pass his title through heredity unlike what the Republican constitution prescribed.
Queen Amanirenas lost her husband and son to the war, but in the end she sat triumphant over the head of Caesar Augustus in her Sovereign Nubian Kingdom full of never-ending gold, beauty and wealth the likes of which most Romans would never know. Black Excellence.
@Physical Removal defeated the Roman Empire.
@Physical Removal lol. Right, Rome is totally cool with getting smacked in the face and not going back to crush those who disrespect them. You're delusional. There is plenty of evidence that they actually respected the Nubians and even enlisted them in their army. Nubians were better as trading partners than subjects -- unlike most of Europe which the Romans viewed as useless barbarians... Most of Rome's gold was from Nubia and Egypt (Egypt's was from Nubia)...
@Physical Removal It's funny how you read that without realizing the adoration for the Nubian King. You also fail to realize how Flavius is comparing Nubian slaves to Greek slaves or Arabic slaves - who are weaker and useless. There were slaves of every race - and there still is. Silly modern westerners have convinced themselves they've never been slaves and only black people were ever slaves - so stupid. Your racial version of history is actually a cage that you are choosing to keep yourself in. I hope you can find your way out.

@Physical Removal Arabs crumbled Romans in mere decade but weren't able to subjugate Nubians for 600 years.
This was a very interesting presentation. I didn't realize that Rome had tried to conquer Nubia, but I should have expected that to be so.
Rome eventually conquered Carthage (Tunisia today). They were enemies. Hannibal, took a longer northern route to conquer Rome, but failed. He lost nearly have his Army and Elephants too.. He was at the doorsteps of Rome. Rome, did have an interest in Northeastern Africa to extend their Empire. Even Mussolini conquered Ethiopia in 1936. He thought he was another Julius Caesar. Sadly to say.

A couple of corrections in the audio, we meant to say Julius Caesar was functionally emperor of Rome. While he had all the powers of an emperor, his official title was actually Dictator for life. Second, Nubia ruled Egypt for 88 years in the 25th dynasty. The 26th was actually the last Native African dynasty to rule Egypt before they were replaced by the Persian Empire in 525 BCE.
I have no problem with calling Caesar "Emperor" because functionally that's what he was at that point in time. Calling him anything else is just playing word games.

It wasn't really a war. There are lots of Roman incursions that ended like this one. It's not anything special. Had they wished to they could have certainly captured all of this territory but it wasn't worth it. Look at the Roman incursions into Saudi Arabia for example.

The "Roman wife" that Antony divorced to marry Cleopatra was Octavia, sister of Octavian
( Augustus).
Yeah, I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned. If you don't want to turn your fellow triumvir against you, you probly shouldn't divorce his sister. Mark Antony was not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
@Apollo Sun Yes, by all accounts Cleopatra was a fascinating person. Unfortunately, she bet on the wrong horse.
Whammy Bard She didn't have much choice there, really. Octavian wasn't interested. Besides, Antony was an alcoholic and a bit of a hedonist (he was Epicurean among other factors).
By all accounts Antony considered Octavian a spoiled upstart too young and inexperienced for his position. Antony thought himself the better choice and was a seasoned, gifted general. So he probably made Octavian angry on purpose thinking he could bait him east and beat him with Egyptian help.
Or leave the place you are living in, the day before your pregnant wife was scheduled to arrive. Octavia had made the trip to get Mark Anthony to stop his conflict with her younger brother. The age difference between the two, made the relationship more mother-son then siblings. Octavia ended up traveling with her brother to Egypt. When Cleopatra committed suicide her household went into choas. Octavia on hearing of Cleopatra's death, went to Cleopatra's house to recover the two children of her husband, Mark Anthony (they were never divorced) for taking care of her husband's children was seen as a duty of a Roman wife, especially when the real mother is dead. She raised both children through adulthood, a daughter marrying a North African King.
What Mark Anthony did when he made sure he would not be on the island he had been living on, leaving on the day before his pregnant wife was to arrive, made it easy for Octavian to get the Roman people and Roman Army and Navy behind him in the war against Mark Anthony.
Yes indeed! Ouch! That was a mistake.

@@danial469 On 1 March 1979, The New York Times carried an article on its front page, written by Boyce Rensberger, with the headline: "Nubian Monarchy Called Oldest". In the article, Rensberger wrote: "Evidence of the oldest recognizable monarchy in human history, preceding the rise of the earliest Egyptian kings by several generations, has been discovered in artifacts from ancient Nubia." He estimated that "The first kings of Ta-Seti may well have ruled about 5900 BC."
Bruce Williams, archaeologist at the University of Chicago, continuing the research, adds his perspective. "A newly discovered ancient kingdom is always a matter of interest, but when it precedes the earliest known monarchy, the unification of Egypt in the fourth millennium B.C., then history itself is reborn. The place is ancient Nubia at Qustul, where the investigation of archaeological materials recovered during the great 1960s rescue effort has recently unveiled a birthplace of pharaonic civilization several generations before the rise of the first historic Egyptian dynasty." (Archeology Magazine) Just west of the city of Kerma lies the site of Busharia, where shards of pottery dating from 8000 to 9000 BC have been found. A nearby discovery at El-Barga shed light on foundations of round buildings, graves and pottery shards from 7,500 BC. Therefore Kushitic civilization began on the banks of the Nile over 15,000 years ago and was settled at least 55,000 years prior. Furthermore, based on the traditions of the first settlers and the artifacts found in this region, Kushitic civilization gave birth to that of so-called "Egypt" (see also: Nile Valley Civilization).

First of all the name nubia is made up in the 12 th century by European. Mero was their name also not ancient egypt its kemet
Nubian/s is the 10th century Muslim Egyptian name for Black slaves from African Continent. 19th Century Western European historians, used this name, as to legitimize the role of Black people as slaves in Europe and the Americas. Now its being used by Afro-Centric historians, to wash away the rich and diverse history of African nations and Empires. As it does not conform to the post-modern African American vision of what Ancient should be in their eyes.

If you really believe this side of this story which is from the Romans, then you are a fool. It is quite inconsistent with the Roman way of conducting war. Nubia was rich in gold and strategically position in terms of its geography, the Romans were defeated, I hope one day we could be able to read the Nubian side of the story through their writings.
What was its strategic importance?
I think they can read them that it's a lie to hide the truth honestly
The Nubians couldn’t defeat the Romans. Even the Parthians were far weaker than the Romans who conquered all their territories along the Tigris and Euphrates. They had logistical problems maintaining such massive swathes of territories with their primitive communication technology. They constantly had civil wars by generals who tried to break away from Rome.
@Best Commentseva
The fact you don’t know about the city of Ctesiphon of the Parthians was captured by Rome five times in its history - three times in the 2nd century alone. The emperor Trajan captured Ctesiphon in 116, but his successor, Hadrian, decided to willingly return Ctesiphon in 117 as part of a peace settlement is proof you have no idea what you’re talking about. Rome was practically invisible during its golden age.
@Sharon Scavella Cleopatra was Greek. Pharaohs during the Ptolomaic era were Greek not native Egyptians. Native Egyptians were never able regain control of Egypt again after the Persians conquered them in 525 bce. Then the Greeks conquered Egypt in 332 bce. Also there’s more than one cleopatra there were 7. The Cleopatra they’re referring to in this video is the last Cleopatra.
I’m from Sudan and recently went back to visit the motherland about a year ago. I got visit Meroe during my month long vacation. It is sad that the gold thirsty colonizers destroyed the tops of our pyramids using TNT in search of gold. Also, the Nubian language is nearing extinction. I hope our new government will recognize it and teach it in schools throughout our country. Throughout our recent political protests we referred to our Sudanese women as kandakas (warrior queens) for their bravery in protesting our military.
@Zak Jansen First of all, who said I wanted to be white? Colonization paved way to many conflicts in my country. My family didn't expect the issues to be resolved in a short period of time so they decided to leave the country and moved to America. In America, my father became a physician at the world's biggest cancer center and my mother became a biostatistician at the world's biggest medical center. I am currently in medical school. My family came to America legally, became citizens, never broke the law, pay our taxes, and never used any federal assistance programs. Moreover, we volunteer regularly in America and give money to those in need in both America and Sudan. If situation in Sudan improves, we all intend to move back. America has benefitted from my family being here. So you can fuck off with that 'go back to your country' bs.

Nubia ruled Egypt during the 25th Dynasty.
NUBIA BEGAN THE KINGDOM OF EGYPT/KEMET. BUT OVER TIME THE RULERSHIP OF GOVERNMENT CHANGED. AT ONE TIME IT WAS EVEN TWO KINGS, UPPER AND LOWER.

Black Africans helped the Roman empire stay in power for a long.North Africa was a huge stay for rome.Most of North Africa was populated by black people before the ARABS came in.
Most North Africans were not black.
I really enjoyed this. Just would have like if you had show a couple of the capitals or cities on the map. Still a great video
Wonderful video bro, great work. I have to say I left the whole pages for you to fill in. I’m writing my own history book, I no longer want to be accepting any bullshits. We have been reading lots of crap in this world, its time to shift away from falsehood to reality.
Because the west doesn’t deny Kush’s blackness I wouldn’t doubt that they do have a way to translate their language but won’t make it public seeing that all black history has to be denied and whitewashed. Great example is Egypt. They claim Egypt was everything except what it was before the Greeks conquered. They did leave countless images portraying their likeness and no your eyes don’t deceive you when you see them as black.
Truth will shine bright in their face
Well those Arab lackeys from North Africa are already trying to steal Nubian history now that they have Sudan to themselves, they saying the Nubians were Arabs and Amazigh, lol imagine looking at the depictions of Nubians and seeing Arabs. even in these comments there are some saying that
@@accountretired9479 Why is humanity so evil? When I found out the extent false data are published to prove the Nubians were non black, I cried. Never have I cried this way before as an adult.

Wtf is that even supposed to mean? Jesus Christ, if there is any greater power out there please save us. It's so painful that African nations barely give a crap as well.
Of course they never talk about this war, because Rome lost to an African nation. Rome in folklore is portrayed as invincible so scholars keep that lie going. When in reality they lost wars just like anybody else

@@radrook4481 zulu are bantu and aren't even good at fighting, while nubians (related to the ancient medjay of ancient Egypt, ancestors of the modern Beja) were and still are genetically Cushites who were experts at warfare, just like their modern descendants the beja tribe of Sudan, defeated the British empire and killed their general, just like Cushites in Somalia defeated the British and Italian empires for 21 years (Dervish movement), while Ethiopian amhara tigray and oromo Cushites defeated the Italian alian empire twice, and Somalis in the 16th century were the only ethnic group in coastal Africa (entire Africa from Nigeria to Cape Dunford South Africa to Ras Hafun Somalia) to defeat the Portuguese empire both in land battles during the famous Conquest of Abyssinia 14 year invasion and war waged by the Somali Adal sultanate (even killing Roderigo Da gama, brother of explorer Vasco Da Gama) and in naval combat (ajuran sultanate war with the Portuguese empire)
@@radrook4481 The bows they had were similar in size and power to the bows of the Khoisan peoples. Naturally those bows were used primarily for hunting.
You can find hundreds of sub saharan African ethnic groups who were expert archers all over the contintent from west to east Africa, and down to southern Africa. It just so happens that the Zulu people are not one of them.
@@hassanabdikarimmohamed2505 The Zulu people did as well as they could have. All they had was an iron age army fighting againts a modern 19th Century army. They were always going to lose in the end, but the fact that they managed to win a few times is a testiment to their capabilities.
If they had proper access to the same weapons and given enough time to master them and implement them to their armies, they would have easily won.
Julius Cesar was never crowned “emperor of Rome” as you mentioned. First Emperor of Rome was his nephew Augusto Cesar. Go back to read history.
"Adopted" Son Augustus*
"Caesar"
Mistakes happen and HAMA wrote in the comment section 'A couple of corrections in the audio, we meant to say Julius Caesar was functionally emperor of Rome. While he had all the powers of an emperor, his official title was actually Dictator for life.'
It was not known as Egypt for thousands of years... it was known as Kemet.
Two lands.... Kemet was a toponym....
Great story and voice! You should include some instrumental music and sound effects and all would be fantastic!
European Historians accurately documented the defeats that Rome suffered at the hands of the Gauls, Germans, Carthaginians, Iberians, Parthians, Mongols etc. I see no reason to conclude that it suddenly started hiding defeats just because they were fighting against Nubians.
They never fought the mongols, those came at 1206 ce, Rome fell 395 ad
I'm sorry but those European historians have every reason to document the Roman defeats at the hands of Germanic tribes, Gauls etc as those are the people they descend from and the mongols defeats were documented by other peoples as well(muslims) so it would be hard to hide...lets not forget that the Nubians are black and if that is not self explanatory enough as to why colonial era historians(of which a lot of todays work is based off) would hide that then I'm sorry you need help

It would be nice if they made a movie about this.
"meh-ro-IT-ic." "MEH-ro-ee." I'll never understand how someone can put so much work into making a video like this then think "Meh, I'll just wing it on the pronunciation of key terms" especially when the information is so readily available. It so unnecessarily undermines all the other work.
1) ancient Egypt had already been brought to an end by the Greeks. The Romans came when Egypt was already hellenized.
2) Egypt was not in ruins. Despite some war damages, it remained one of the wealthiest regions in the Mediterranean (which is why the Romans wanted it).
3) the Romans lost what?!? There were 2 legionary campaigns, and both were tactically victorious: the legionaries managed to push deep into Kushan territory and even sacked their capital city. Strategically, the Romans gained a stable border and a safe trading passage (close to the most important trading route for the Empire), much more convenient than further military pushes.
@@MichaelClayton64
1 - The treaty granted to the Romans that the Dodekaschoinos was to remain Imperial control despite the invasion attempt of the Nubians and their claims, as well as war reparations like the return of the stolen statues, and also granted to the Romans the loot from Nabata and the other Nubian cities. On the other hand, the Nubians were granted to not pay tributes to Rome.
I'll repeat it more schematically:
> The Romans LOST their tributes but GAINED a stable Dodekaschoinos + the loot of Nabata.
> The Nubians LOST the Dodekaschoinos forever + their loot on Egyptian cities but GAINED to not pay tributes to Rome.
> Both gained peace and the wealth from the stable trading route.
I've never claimed that the Romans won the war, and surely no one can claim that Meroe won the war. It was a fair peace treaty.
"because roman egypt was starting to crumble"
This is absolutely false. The Nubians were driven off Egypt as soon as the Legions arrived. Peace treaties happened when the two Legions were inside Kushan territory. Other 23 legions were at disposal of Rome at that time.
2 - True, Napata wasn't formally the capital of the kingdom, like Rome wasn't formally the capital of the late Roman Empire. But still, that was an important raid to say the least, like the Vandal and Goth raids on Rome despite the capital being in Ravenna (or Constantinople or whatever).
3 - Just because Meroe didn't win the war, it doesn't mean that they lost it. The same goes for the Romans.
As mentioned, both parties gained and lost things, so that the final result is fairly neutral for both.
And i invite you not to forget that the Legions were never defeated in that war, while the Nubian army was.
"Common sense that the Nubians were kicking arse"
Except that they were pushed back by the 2 Legions despite the huge numerical superiority and despite having the home court advantage...
Interactions in these times between Sudanics and Latins are interesting
History of Early Ethiopia or Kush (13,000-7500 BC)
The region known as Kush has been inhabited for several millennia. Royal Ontario Museum and University of Khartoum researchers found a "tool workshop" south of Dongola, Sudan with thousands of paleolithic axes on rows of stones, dating back 70,000 years. As early as 13,000 BC, ceremonial burial practices were taking place at Jebel Sahaba and Wadi Halfa in the northern part of modern-day Sudan (known to archaeologists as the "Qadan" period, 13,000-8,000 BC).
At the Toshka site in modern-day "Lower Nubia," archaeologists have uncovered tombs where domesticated wild cattle were placed above human remains, indicative of the use of cattle in a ceremonial fashion. Circular tomb walls with above-ground mounds are further evidence of the beginnings of ceremonial burials.
At other sites nearby, we can see the development of Ethiopian (better known as "Egyptian") civilization. At the Kadruka cemetery, spouted vessels were found, and the tombs at El Gaba were filled with jewelry, pottery, ostrich feathers, headrests, facial painting, etc.--all of which were present in "dynastic Egypt," and are still used today amongst different peoples of modern-day Ethiopia. The neolithic Sabu rock paintings even depict dynastic Egyptian-style boats.
Just west of the city of Kerma lies the site of Busharia, where shards of pottery dating from 8000 to 9000 BC have been found. A nearby discovery at El-Barga shed light on foundations of round buildings, graves and pottery shards from 7,500 BC.
Therefore Kushitic civilization began on the banks of the Nile over 15,000 years ago and was settled at least 55,000 years prior.
Furthermore, based on the traditions of the first settlers and the artifacts found in this region, Kushitic civilization gave birth to that of so-called "Egypt"

How did aincent people of different languages communicate
At 2:47 you say "Julius Caesar was crowned Emperor of Rome". This is not true, he was never Emperor. He was Dictator in 49BC, 48-47BC, 46-44BC and then "Dictator in perpetuity" in 44BC, but it wasn't until 27BC that Rome got its first Emperor in Julius Caesar's grand-nephew and adopted son Augustus.
What's the difference between Emperor and Dictator? They both have absolute power and nothing good has ever come from that. Just curious as to what makes them different other than the name...
I don't know how much of this presentation to believe, seeing as how you stated that the Kushites ruled the 26th dynasty of Egypt, when that statement is false/inaccurate. They ruled the 25th dynasty.

A few things first.
Nubian-Roman War ended in a stalemate that went on for 5 years but it is true the treaty was mostly signed in favor of the Nubians and the taxation of her people in Lower Nubia was revoked so Amanirenas achieved her objectives eitherway.
Other wars fought with Nubians and other Empires were...
Egyptian and Nubians teamed up and drove out the Hyksos from Africa.
Egyptian New Kingdom-Nubian war - Egypt won and conquered Nubia for centuries.
Nubian-Persian war - Nubia won defeating Persian armies.
Assyrian-Nubian wars - Nubia won three times under the commands of Shebitku, Shabaka and later Taharqa and ultimately saved Jerusalem aka modern-day Isreal. He would later lose against the Neo-Assyrian army a few decades later and die in Thebes in 664 BCE. His nephew Tantamani would win a few battles against them and retake Lower Egypt but would be driven back to Nubian lands and lose the war ending the 104 year 25th dynasty for good.
Libyan Egyptian-Nubian war - Nubia won under the command of Pharaoh Kashta in 760BCE establishing the 25th dystanty and conquering Egypt, parts of Libya, and expand somewhat into Arabia.
After Kingdom of Kush was weaken, it collapsed from the invasion of the Aksumite Empire in 350CE. Shortly afterwards it would form three powerful Christian Kingdoms, Alodia, Nobatia, Makuria which would last until 1504 CE ending the Nubian civilisation for good and beginning the era of Islam in Sudan.
Nubians defeated the Islamic conquerers from West Asia twice and signed the longest peace treaty in human history for 600 years, Baqt pact.

From the text I would not describe the war as a Roman defeat, more of a stalemate.
Their goal was to conquer Kush....they failed. Her goal was to defend it which in the end she succeeded. Its not a wash like say the battle of Meggido but the terms clearly favored the Kushite position.

@Christian Kenny but they did lose tbh, they even went as far as signing a peace treaty
Have to disagree, this was a clear Roman victory. First of all this was not a Roman 'invasion,' but rather a retaliatory campaign against earlier Nubian raids into southern Egypt. Just 2 Roman legions managed to march half way through Nubia, capture and destroy Napata, one of the major cities in Kush, and win every major battle in this war. Only their stretched supply lines prevented them from going any farther. Again, this was all done with only 2 legions! Furthermore, the Nubian King and his son were both killed in the conflict. The only "victory" the Nubian Queen could claim, if you want to call it that, was that she survived to make a treaty with Rome that kept her kingdom from being conquered.

The age of the mummy is significant because it predates any of the mummies found in neighboring Egypt. It was discovered by Professor Fabrizio Mori in 1958.
The mummy is a small child, about 3 years old, that was found in the fetal position. The body was embalmed, carefully wrapped with leaves, and covered by an antelope skin; its entrails were replaced with wild herbs to help with its preservation.

@@abdullahiabshir9607 There are several reasons why Romans didn't conquer Nubia, Horn of Africa logistical issue, is one of them. The area, desert etc too.

Trajan was a better general who desicvly defeated the Parthians/Persians 3 times.

Rome was serrounded by savages, hence the Romans beat these savages easily until they came to the more active part of the known world. The Romans where the late comers to the world stage at that time, there is nothing impressive about the Romans, even the Greeks believed the Romans where a bad copy of themselves. Let's not overglorify Rome, because was little match to the known empires. Don't believe the Eurocentric media too much dude, that love to portray Rome as some kind of super power that defeated every known civilization because they didn't. I don't disrespect the Romans or something, let's be clear on that but i feel the Eurocentric media is overhyping Rome way too much IMO
@@titanmode3888 & then when truth gets revealed, it's said that you afrocentric. It's best that the truth gets told by their own kind, as they is a few Europeans doing so, but then get bashed by their own kind.
False. The queen hated Rome to the core especially after her son was killed. Liars
@Quodlibeta after reading all your comments i must say only an irrational person wouldn't agree with most of what you said
Also not all from todays Sudan were viewed as Kush, Kush was todays Upper Nubia and lower Nubia were referred to as Wawat possibly an indigenous name, the people from wawat were Cushitic speakers and called themselves Nehesi a word meaning "people" like with the pan grave culture in the east the progenitor of the Beja/Medjay also a Cushitic people, kerma was a creole culture of Cushitic and Eastern Sudanic, its like southern Britian referred to as England and northern Britain being Scotland and west Britain being Wales etc... not all of Britain being called England
Cool video bro, but as others have said Julius Caesar was never officially emperor and the Kushites founded the Nubian 25th dynasty, not the Saite 26th dynasty, which was entirely native Egyptian. I'm assuming that you just misspoke there.
True but what they need to understand is Egyptian had different Africa tribes kush is really Sudan and Ethiopia,,nubian tribe and the jola tribe are kemet or mitzrayim
Kemet people not Egypt. No Africans called themselves Egyptian. That’s a European word.
@@KingSiik So? Everyone uses the Greek-derived word "Egypt" today, even modern Egyptians when they speak in English. In German, Germany is called "Deutschland", but you don't see Germans going around online commentaries in English trying to correct people about it. There's no need to be this pedantic about using ancient Egyptian words when it has nothing to do with the point I was making about the 25th versus the 26th dynasty. Do you have something to say about that or no?
Eric Connor In keeping record of ones history, the integrity of the chronological order is important. No case can be made it’s not.
🤔The Roman Empire arrived in Tanzania: in the geographic maps of ancient Rome, the city of Rhapta was at the southern edge of the known world. Surprisingly we have reports of trade contacts between Romans and this very distant emporium (4500 km from the Empire). According to Ptolemy and Pliny the Elder, several Roman merchants engaged in routine journeys to Azania (the ancient territory that today takes the name of Tanzania).
African history is still more impressive than European history 🤔
@@Taharqo.saved.the.Hebrewwhat about just human history
25th Dynasty of Egypt, not the 26th
well done
