The Kushite Egyptians wrote hundreds of times in their numerous monuments and voluminous official records that they are from the land of Punt.
Egypt is a modern name given by the Greeks. The Greeks and the Romans renamed these people and their lands and unknowingly attempted to separate them from their indigenous origins deep in Africa. They misunderstood the biodiversity of Africans but everyone knows it and also now knows that the Kushites and the Egyptians are one and the same Africans.
Pre-dynastic periods include the Ta-Seti Empire covering the kingdoms of Nabta Playa, Qustul, Kerma, Kemet but also the lands of Sub-Saharan Africa including Tanzania, the Great Lakes, and River Nile to the Mediterranean Sea. The first evidence of kingship in the world was the Incense Burner found in Qustul, Nubia. The first evidence of astronomy or physics was at Adam's Calendar and later at Nabta Playa Astronomical Circle deep in Africa. The first evidence of Mathematics is the Ishango Bone discovered in the Congo deep in Africa.
The 1st Dynasty of Egypt is King Narmer or King Menes (3,100 BC to 2,900 BC). Narmer or Menes kingship occurs 500 to 1,000 years after the Qustul kingship was discovered on the incense burner.
The 2nd Dynasty of Egypt is Khasekhmewy (2,600 BC).
The 3rd Dynasty of Egypt is Djoser. The Djoser Pyramid’s early architectural, engineering, and technological developments in construction were at a very high level at this point in human history. Djoser Pyramid is in Saqqara, about 20 miles south of Cairo.
The scientist, engineer, and architect of the Djoser Pyramid is the priest Imhotep.
The 4th Dynasty of Egypt was under Huni. Huni is Sneferu's father and Sneferu is Khufu's father. This dynasty took Architecture, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and Engineering to an even higher level than Djoser. Khufu's edifice is called the Great Pyramid of Giza for many reasons including the advanced Mathematics used to design and construct the Pyramid.
The Pyramid was invented by one of Khufu’s priests, the holographic-minded scientist, architect, and engineer named Heminnu.
Huni's statue is one of the greatest achievements in human history. His statue was either carved from granite or made from geopolymer granite cement. Khufu's Great Chamber in the Great Pyramid was also made from granite. Granite is harder than steel. Diamond-cutting machines today cannot easily cut granite. The Africans had obsidian glass factories in Ancient Egypt and had invented magnifying glass powerful enough to melt stones, likely including granite, then used molds to make their smooth elegant statues from cement stones. Precursor Ta-Seti cultures had used obsidian glass to make arrowheads 50,000 years before. See Archaeologists Discover an Ancient Egyptian Glass Factory By John Noble Wilford NYT June 21, 2005.
The main reason the Khufu Pyramid should be elevated as one of the greatest engineering and scientific accomplishments in human history is that the Pyramid is the perfect embodiment of almost all the important geometrical figures and theorems, with π Pi and ɸ Phi and other Mathematical measurements of triangles, rectangles, and other angles to a minuscule error of 0.0001-2. Essentially, accuracy that would be attributed to a computer was achieved over 5,600 years ago when no other known buildings existed anywhere on planet earth.
Khufu's Great Pyramid was built of limestone in 2600 BC, about 200 years after the Djoser Pyramid. Each block of cement stone weighs up to about 70 tons. About 2 million three hundred thousand cement stone blocks were invented to build the Great Pyramid. The pyramids are aligned with stars in the Orion Constellation: Khufu's with Betelgeuse, Khufu's son Khafre's with Alnilam, Khufu's grandson Menkaure's with Rigel. The Great Pyramid looks east to the Supreme God star Rë, called Sirius today. East and south-ward in Africa were always sacred for the Kushite Egyptians. Their pantheon of gods formed the fundamental cores of their divinity and moral ethics. Their Supreme God also lives in the southern skies in Heaven. These gods revealed themselves to the Africans south and east into Africa from Sudan, called Nubia in ancient times. In thousands of their hieroglyphics and hieratic scripts, the Africans show the highest reverence for their ancestors south and east into Africa that they called the land of Punt.
Heminnu and Imhotep are to Africans and the world what Isaac Newton and Michael Faraday are to Great Britain and the world.
Rë endowed these two men with the alien-genius and knowledge in Mathematics and Chemistry befitting the very mythic super-civilized Atlanteans of Plato. But Imhotep and Heminnu built the Djoser and Khufu Pyramids when others everywhere dared and so some call these monumental inventions extraterrestrial, and beyond African cognition.

Imperial Pharoah Taharqa of the 25th Dynasty
The two cobras in the crown of Pharaoh Taharqa are proof that he was the Imperial King of the lands of at least Egypt and Kush or Nubia.
(Various cultures around the world spell his name differently: Tirhakah, Taharqa, Taharka).
This is the 25th Dynasty of Egypt. They are all Nubians. Taharqa is the tallest of the statues, at the very back. He was the only emperor of all the pharaohs or kings of all the Kushite Egyptians. He was Imperial Pharaoh of Kush and Egypt, his imperial rule covering part of the Near East, part of Asia, and part of Europe.
“Taharqa, under the name "Tearco the Aethiopian", says the ancient Greek historian Strabo. Strabo mentions Taharqa in a list of other notable conquerors (Cyrus the Great, Xerxes, Sesotris) and says that these princes had undertaken "expeditions to lands far remote."[50] Strabo mentions Taharqa as having "Advanced as far as Europe",[51] and (citing Megasthenes), even as far as the Pillars of Hercules in Spain.
In 1534 the Muslim scholar Ibn-l-Khattib al-Makkary wrote an account of Taharqa's "establishment of a garrison in the south of Spain in approximately 702 BC." Strabo, Geographia, XV.1.6.
Professor Ivan Van Sertima writes that: "We [also] have a clear and indisputable reference to this in a [Spanish] manuscript by Florian de Ocampo Cronica General published in 1553. The name of the invading general is given as Tarraco [cf. Taharqo].
Taharqa's described his imperial rule as "Emperor of the World". Professor Rawlinson wrote: "The reign of Tirhakah (Tehrak) [sic] during this period appears to have been glorious. He was regarded by Judea as its protector, and exercised a certain influence over all Syria as far as Taurus, Amanus, and the Euphrates. In Africa, he brought [] the native tribes of the north coast, carrying his arms, according to some, as far as the Pillars of Hercules. He is exhibited at Medinet-Abou in the dress of a warrior, smiting with a mace ten captive foreign princes. He erected monuments in the Egyptian style at Thebes, Memphis, and Napata. Of all the Ethiopian [i.e. Kushite] sovereigns of Egypt he was undoubtedly the greatest."
Note that the names Ethiopia, Nubia, and Kush are used interchangeably to mean Africa or the Horn of Africa and Subsaharan Africa in numerous texts including the Bible. The original native name of Africa is Alkebulan.
As the great historian and biographer Strabo says, Taharqua is right up there with the greatest conquerors or emperors the world has ever known.
