Also I wasn't referring to the first black pharaoh, the one I'm referring to was possibly the last, He did however help postpone Assyria's attack upon Jerusalem. I just watched a PBS special on the people who are digging up these sites and answering these questions. Nubian's were tired of Egypt's treatment of them and the great warriors Egypt employed from Nubia, turned on them and defeated Egypt.

That's not what you said, shitstain. You said that we didn't even know the names of the kings of the 25th dynasty except for your stupid fucking bible and as I have just shown you are full of shit. As usual.

Actually, that was one of mine, in reference to creationists and kindred biblical literalists. I can now retire happy to be regarded as up there with the Horsemen.
