Why did the Black Pharaohs lose Egypt — only for the story of Kush to eventually collide with Rome?

Long before Rome became the dominant power of the ancient Mediterranean, African rulers from Kush had already risen to the throne of Egypt.

The Kushite kings of Egypt’s 25th Dynasty left behind a remarkable legacy of power, religion, architecture, warfare, and political ambition. But their rule over Egypt would eventually come to an end.

Yet that was not the end of Kush.

Far to the south, the Kingdom of Kush continued to develop, eventually building its own powerful civilization centered at Meroë. Centuries later, Kush would find itself confronting another empire—Rome.

So how did an African kingdom go from ruling Egypt to standing against one of the most powerful empires of the ancient world?

In this documentary, we follow the story from the rise of the Black Pharaohs, through the fall of Kushite rule in Egypt, the transformation of Kush, and its eventual confrontation with Rome.

This is the story of Egypt, Kush, and Rome—and the African kingdom that refused to disappear.

Watch to the end to discover how the story of the Black Pharaohs continued long after they lost Egypt.
