Melvadius Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 The Independent reports an interesting recent discovery of three pharonic statues in Sudan including the 25th dynasty Nubian pharoh Taharqa and 2 of his successors who controlled Sudan but not Egypt. No statue of a pharaoh has ever been found further south of Egypt than this one. At the height of his reign, King Taharqa controlled an empire stretching from Sudan to the Levant. A massive, one ton, statue of Taharqa that was found deep in Sudan. Taharqa was a pharaoh of the 25th dynasty of Egypt and came to power ca. 690 BC, controlling an empire stretching from Sudan to the Levant. The pharaohs of this dynasty were from Nubia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
