The Greatest African Queen The World Forgot: Queen Amanirenas

[@megaoldskool76]

“Keep the arrows, you’re gonna need them”👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾! No, her name does not roll off of our tongues because no one want to tell the masses that an African Queen and her military forces stood against the so called mighty romans!! Ha!!!! Great job home team! ✊🏾

You are right she needs more name recognition. After all they love talkin about Boadicea. Who led the major rebellion against the Romans in Britain. But she ultimately lost.This Nubian queen won her war against the Roman and she got them to sign a treaty that was favorable to the Nubians.

[@gsutton78]

@ The descendants of the "original" Egyptians live in Upper Egypt to this day. They are indigenous Nilo-Saharan Africans who are marginalized in their own land just as the Native Americans are marginalized in their own land. The current Egyptians are mostly the result of Arab invasion just as the current American population is the result of European invasion. History has repeated itself.

[@ericconnor8251]

@@malaktarabi4359 A lot of Upper Egyptians (i.e. Egyptians to the south) still have traits like dark black sub-Saharan type skin that make them more aligned with Sudanese (i.e. ancient Nubians) but that's not the case for most Egyptians in Lower Egypt (i.e. northern Egypt) around the Nile Delta, who look MENA and share genetics with West Asians. It's been like that since at least antiquity if not the very beginning of Egypt's history with Early Dynastic Kingdom.

[@gsutton78]

@Tracy Sharp The thing is that globally, we are actually not a minority. This is why all blacks should adopt a pan-African mindset and work together as a unified force of 2 billion plus, at least on the things that matter to all black people in Africa and the diaspora. There was once no unified white race. They were warring tribes as well in Europe and America (Civil War, Revolutionary War). But, Greeks, Italians, the Irish, and the Slavics were once not considered white, but colored. But, to make themselves a majority and powerful in the West, they adopted a pan-European mindset. They are unified. We are not. They put aside their differences enough to classify themselves as a single white race. Even if the different subgroups don't like each other personally, they will still support each other for "whites' sake". This we have yet to learn.

Orompto was the second Oyo monarch to reign in the new capital of Igboho.Some traditions of the oral record hold that she was miraculously transformed into a man before assuming the throne there. Orompoto used horses extensively in military battles and may have obtained them from Borgu.She was reportedly masterfully skilled on horseback, and created a specialized order of cavalry officers within her army that was known as the Eso Ikoyi. The first of its kind, the cavalry was a force to be reckoned with in the various wars with Oyo's enemies.Considered a skillful warrior herself, she is said to have distinguished herself at the battle of Illayi. While fighting her enemies there, she lost three war chiefs in quick succession,
