PHARAOH TAHARKA

Taharqa was a pharaoh of the 25th Dynasty of Egypt and king of the Kingdom of Kush (present day Sudan) from 690 to 664 B.C.

The 25th Dynasty of Egypt, also known as the Nubian Dynasty, was characterized by rulers of Nubian (Kushite) origin…

Nubians or Kushites are black Africans…

I don’t know if people are mentally inept, lack reading comprehension, or are just trolling, but all of the kings from the 25th dynasty were Nubians…

Thus, Taharqa was clearly a black African, Nubian / Nilotic man…

Note the “gaar” scarification on the foreheads…

The Nuer are a confederation of tribes located in South Sudan and western Ethiopia…

Collectively, the Nuer form one of the largest ethnic groups in East Africa…

The Nuer Border such tribes as the Dinka, Anyuak, Shilluk and other minor tribes in both Ethiopia and Sudan…

The Nuer receive facial markings (called gaar) as part of their initiation into adulthood…

The pattern of Nuer scarification varies within specific subgroups…

The most common initiation pattern among males consists of six parallel horizontal lines which are cut across the forehead with a razor, often with a dip in the lines above the nose…
