Diodorus Siculus, Ancient Greek Historian. The idea of a pharaoh (king) may have come down the Nile from Nubia to Egypt (and) that would make Nubian civilization the ancestor of Egypt. The first settlements in Egypt are in Upper Egypt where the black descendents of the ancients still live today if you dont believe go and visit southern Egypt. The Southern Kingdom, Upper Egypt, was clearly conceived as the dominant of the two regions. It was from the south that the most enduring influences in Egyptian society came and without doubt most of its greatest leaders were southerners too. The ancient Egyptians originated from the south not the north.
