That’s true but that’s a span of thousands of years. America’s been around 250 odd years. We can’t even comprehend a country being around for 3000 or 4,000 years. Of course there will be changes. Cleopatra lived during the time of Ceasar, about three centuries after Alexander. That’s 2,000 years ago. Egypt was popping 3,500 years before that. THAT IS A LONG TIME. And there’s so much confusion surrounding Kemet that no one can say with absolute certainty when it truly began. We could be off by thousands of years. I say that to say that it’s not surprising that it went through the amount of changes that it did. The Sahara kept other southern African kingdoms away but it didn’t have a massive buffer zone to the north blocking it off from non-African groups like let’s say China which had thousands of miles of open rural land you have to traverse to get to the cities on the coast. Egypt sat right on the nexus of three continents and everyone wanted its riches. And when other groups came in, the decline soon followed, so that’s all that needs to be said. Black people were there. The same stock of people that built Nubia, Kush, Punt, Axum built Egypt. There’s very little kingdoms in West Africa in antiquity because
our forefathers were mostly back east. Not because we were inferior. The people just weren’t there. We don’t need to be ashamed of claiming that part of our history just because it fell and became mongrelized anymore than White people should be ashamed of claiming Rome because it fell. Empires fall
