According to Sheik Anta Diop, the unifier of Upper and lower Egypt came from south of the Sudan in the kingdom, of Nekhen. The southern King was Narmer, also known as King Menes. The capitol was near what is now known as Abydos in Tenis. The accepted date was 3000-2778 BFH. Prior to this time, what we know as Egypt (ancient Mizeaim) was cut up into several City States.
By the time of Pharaoh Zoser became the leader of Mizrain, the culture and wheels of government were established and the next step was the creation of architectural wonders of the Egyptian Empire. This King was of Sudanese /Nubian origin and the third dynasty.
The economy was stagnet and uprisings were developing throughout the kingdom. With the 6th dynasty, came the end of the tourmoil and peace settled in. As poverty begin to rise, so did the violence and revolts broke out. The rich were thrown out and the poverty class took over. Anyone who appeared to be of Royal blood were beaten, killed or worse. People ate grass to survive. The first cycle of Egyptian history ended with the demise of the Old Kingdom.
Memphis, the capitol, was over run and total disruption of Egyptian society proved thay yhe KIngdom could be reduced to a city-state The ruler during this period was an unmixed Negroid/Nubian people who migrated from the South.
Khufu (Cheops) a king of the 4th dynasty, is credited with building the Great Pyramid of Giza. He was also a nubian favoring a black man from Cameroon who lived cerca 2600 BCE. The other two pyramids on the Giza Plateau, were also build during the 4th dynasty.
European historians readily acknowledged after much study that the only conclusion to be reached was that the sphinx and other carving etc, represented true liikenesses of the people of that period.
