Anyone interested in egyptology???

Question

Please tell me anythng about the black Farao called Piahni!!!

Answer 1

Ancient Egyptians were not like the peoples of other african nations, they are lighter skinned. More 'meditteranean' in appearing. However, there was a time when Egypt was ruled by darker skinned Nubian Pharaohs. I think you are referring to Piankhi I, a Nubian King who defeated upper Egypt around 741 bce, and lower Egypt around 721 bce, making him Pharaoh of the Two Lands of Egypt. His capitol was at Napata and as soon as he returned to his capitol, Tefnakhte reestablished his reign in Lower Egypt.
Piankhi I's tomb is probably a pyramid at Gebel Barqa, where most Nubian Kings built pyramids.
Hope this helps, email if you need more.

Answer 2

I have never heard of him, and the only hits I get in a search for "Piahni" relate to the indigenous peoples of Central America... did you spell it correctly?
All of the Egyptians are African, but in Egyptology, the "black land" refers to the colour of the soil, not the people. Nutrient-rich soil that can be farmed is darker than the dusty yellow desert.

Some of the gods were portrayed as darker-skinned, particularly Anubis and Set.

I can't find your pharaoh, you must have wrote the name wrong, but I will give you a source with a list of pharaohs of Egypt and you can look yourself, if your pharaoh is there. :)
