This pantheistic papyrus shows a god with multiple heads, four wings, a falcon’s tail, snakes on his feet, holding weapons, surrounded by flames -- in other words, completely and utterly powerful enough to help you. He tramples unfriendly animals like a crocodile, snakes, and a wild boar.

------------------------------------------

Tanwetamani was the last Pharaoh of the 25th dynasty. He reigned over Egypt and the kingdom of Kush from 664 to 655 BC. Driven out of Egypt by the Assyrians and their Egyptian Delta allies, he ended his life in Napata and was buried in the necropolis of el-Kurru.

Translation of back Hieroglyphs: "The Horus Wah-mert, King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Ba-Ka-Re, son of Re, Tan-Wetamani, Beloved of Amun of Napata in the Holy Mountain. Endowed with life like Re forever."

Upon the controversy of netflix Cleopatra’s documentary I cannot believe we are still sleeping on the Kushite dinasty.  I like Cleopatra but Piye did not went all the way from Nubia to conquest a war torn Egypt just to be forgotten. How is there not a documentary about how he conquered the city of Memphis intalling his sister Amenerdis and later daughter Shepenupet as Divine Adoratrice of Amon who ruled in his name. 

The Black pharaos did not invest on rebuilding Egyptian ancient monuments, styled thelmselves as pharaohs a tried to build pyramides for a Greek Ptolomaic to be remember as a Black Pharaoh. (Not to speak about the Queens Kandake of Meroe who ruled Kush on their own at the same time of Cloepatra family).  

25th dinasty I’m so sorry you are so cool

Taharqa Invades Spain

The young Prince Taharqa of Kush, fated to become king of an empire that spreads from his homeland in Sudanese Nubia all the way down to the Nile Delta, leads an invasion of southern Spain circa 700 BC. This is of course another alternate history scenario, but the inspiration came from a handful of apocryphal accounts from historians such as Strabo and Ahmed ibn Mohammed al-Makhari that report that he ventured to the “pillars of Heracles” (the Gibraltar Strait between Spain and Morocco) and led an expedition into Spain. Archaeological evidence of such Kushite forays remains undiscovered, but considering that the Phoenicians from Lebanon had already established trading posts on the Spanish coast as far afield as modern Cadiz by that time, an army from the Nile Valley making it there is not totally impossible. Who knows, maybe Taharqa and his soldiers here are defending one of the Phoenician settlements from hostile local tribes?

On Padiamun's coffin, The Devourer appears in the form of a dog, sitting at Thoth's feet as he records the result of the judgement. The deceased kneels behind Thoth, holding his heart. Anubis and Maat stand under the scales, and a large snake protecting Osiris in his pavilion rears up in front of Maat. Behind the pavilion we can see Imsety and Hapy, two of the sons of Horus.
