A beautiful and very interesting book

This is a beautiful and captivating book. It differs completely from other books about the black Pharaohs, which are often ideological and controversial. This book provides proof, with photos from archeological sites. It informs us about life in the cities and in the countryside and about ancient black religions. Kush was not Egypt, but it ruled Egypt for a period of time. The book is also affordable, which I greatly appreciated.
