Egypt's golden empire : Pharaohs of the Sun 2/9

Over 3,500 years ago, Rome was no more than a soggy marsh and the Acropolis was just an empty rock, but Egypt was on the brink of its greatest age - the New Kingdom. There was an explosion of creativity, wealth and power in Egypt that would make it the envy of the world. After defeating the Hyksos invaders, successive Pharaohs expanded and maintained their Empire through both force and diplomacy. In the process, they won Egypt vast amounts of gold, influence and respect. They included; Ahmose, Hatshepsut, Tuthmosis III, Amenhotep III, Akenhaten, Tutankhamen and Ramesses III. Behind the power of the Egyptian empire lay a vast wealth of natural resources. Chief among these was the river Nile, the freeway of the ancient world, whose floodplains also provided huge expanses of fertile farming ground that kept Egypt self-sufficient and usually famine-free. Along the banks of the Nile, the humble papyrus plant was used to create a bureaucratic efficiency and cultural sophistication previously unknown to mankind

@kimokamal5 or in flight... they had invented the first gliders and hot air ballon... toy gliders have been found shaped like birds.. with the inscriptions on it saying "i want to fly" theres also pictures of the hot air ballons being inflated on the pyramids... but alot of ppl think its a lightbulb when its clearly not transperant as u cant see the workers/slaves on the other side of it..

@kimokamal5 That's just like saying a puerto rican or a domanican are just puerto ricans & domanicans, clearly even though people are ashamed & wont acknowledge it that they are black, people who are not black or just plain old ignorant think the word black is reserved only for amerca, europe & africa which is wrong. Black is universal, if u wanna get to genetics black can make white, white cant make black cause white is recesive & black is dominate, its a biological fact not properganda!

I don't think that the kings messengers RAN, they must have been on horse back.

[kimokamal5]

The ancient Egyptians were not white, the ancient Egyptians were not black, they were just Egyptians as they still are today.

@osallent Actually its been proven that Kemetic Nile valley writing was being in use for at least 8,000 yrs before the unification of kemet/ta'merria circa 3000 bc.Its not hard to tell who was writing first because Africans had four forms of writing by the time we reach dynastic kemet.The hieretic form was the one taught to the greeks.
