That was the 25th Dynasty and probably a bunch of the Middle Kingdom kings.

Really. I’ve never understood the whole “King Tut was black” thing considering there actually were more accomplished Ancient Egyptian kings who were acknowledged as black (or Nubian) by contemporaries.

Just PR, that’s all.

If you talk to high school kids about “Nubian” pharaohs, it won’t really register with them. But King Tut-—everybody knows who he is.

Same with Hannibal, He was Phoenician. But he is so well-known and so convenient for identification as an “African” leader. I mean, he even had elephants from south of the Sahara!
