ANCIENT AFRICAN INVADERS
There were three types of people in the world from inception: the people of the Sun(Africoid type, the first to have emerged); the people of the sand (the western Asiatic type, today called middle-east by Europe); the people of the ice( the European type, who was the last to come into that arena called 'civilization.')
According to John Henrik Clarke, "...leave these three types, each in their own habitat, the whole world have been a more peaceful and stable place... But Africa always had what others wanted and can't do without, but weren't ready to pay for....
The sea people were a group of wanderers who were notorious for their frequent attacks on ancient Egypt and other regions in the East Mediterranean. They had already destroyed most of the cities along the Mediterranean, including Cyprus, Hattusa, Hittite's capital, and some regions in the south of Levant. King Ramesses III initially defeated the sea people in Syria in the battle of Djahy. They tried again to attack Egypt by ships, but king Ramesses was well prepared for their invasion, and he again defeated them in tactical warfare at the Battle of Delta.
Beginning in 671 BCE, the Assyrians under Esarhaddon began their invasion of Kemet, conquering it by 666 BCE under his successor Ashurbanipal. Having made no long-term plans for control of the country, the Assyrians left it in ruin in the hands of local rulers and abandoned Kemet to its fate
Kemet rebuilt and refortified, however, and this is the state the country was in when Cambyses II of Persia struck at the Battle of Pelusium in 525 BCE. It remained under Persian occupation until the coming of the greeks, Alexander the Great in 332 BCE. After his death in 323 BCE his general, Ptolemy I Soter, brought his body back to Alexandria and founded the Ptolemaic Dynasty (323-30 BCE). The last of the Ptolemies was Cleopatra VII who committed su***de in 30 BCE after the defeat of her forces (and those of her consort Mark Antony) by the Romans under Octavian Caesar at the Battle of Actium (31 BCE). Kemet then became a province of the Roman Empire (30 BCE-476 CE)(by 33 CE - Christianity came to Egypt displacing African spirituality of the natives) then of the Byzantine Empire (c. 527-646 CE) until it was conquered by the Arabs under Caliph Umar on 12th December 639 CE and by 646 CE it fell under Islamic rule hence the Arab Republic of Egypt.
