Info

Around 800 BC, Kush, a little-known subject state of Egypt, rose up and conquered the Egyptians, enthroned its own Pharaohs, and ruled over the empire of King Tut for nearly 100 years. This unlikely chapter of history has been buried by the Egyptians and belittled by early archaeologists, who refused to believe that dark skinned Africans could have risen so high. But now, in the heart of Sudan, archeologists Geoff Emberling and Tim Kendall are bringing the truth about the Black Pharaohs to life.

Rise of the Black Pharaohs Audience Reviews

UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
