What was the final blow that led to the collapse of Kushite-Kemetic civilization?

In around 200 ce, the Romans made a major campaign expelling natives from their colonies who would not abandon their native religion for Roman.

This was the final major exodus from Kemet, when the loyal Kemetic people moved south to Kush.

This overwhelmed the Kushite infrastructure, making it weaker than it had been in previous decades.

The Greco-Romans realized they could take advantage of this, for they had tried to take Kush in 330 bc and in 29 bc, losing both times. This time, the Greco-Romans asked their allies, the Aksummites to fight for them in the name of Jesus.

Before Aksum (100 bc), there was Daamat, a matriarchal queendom with their capital at Yeha. Daamat was a colony of Kush, from which they borrowed the "Sabaean" script from the Kushites' Demotic script around 600 bc, later introducing it to the Yemeni.

Prior to Kush, Daamat was a colony of Kemet as early as 2000 bc. Before Christian Aksum, they were never powerplayers in Africa due to the greater powers of Kush and Kemet, and they longed to overshadow them.

In 300 ce, at the request of the Greco-Romans, the Christian Aksummites (ancestors to the Amhara-Tigray of Ethiopia-Eritrea) invaded Kush, weakened by large populations of Kemetic refugees straining the infrastructure. The Aksummites lay the capital to waste.

Kush never regained and the Kushite-Kemetics were forced out of the land and moved into West and Central Africa.

The Christian Aksummites (whom Negropeans love) were nothing more than the first betrayers of the Afrakan race.

The irony is that after the rise of the Islamic forces, the Greco-Romans (Byzantines) abandoned the Aksummites and let them fend for themselves. Aksum feel into a dark age between 600 ce and 1200 ce with the rise of Lalibela.

Meanwhile, the Christian Aksummites were heavily invested in the capture and selling of the indigenous Ethiopians (Omotic speaking people and Oromo speaking people) to Arabs, Greeks, Persians, and Indo-Aryans.

It is very important that we do not equate Ethiopian with Aksummite because the majority of modern Ethiopians are Oromo or Omotic; the Amhara-Tigray (Aksummite descendants) that most of us see in the media as leaders are a minority that dominate the majority.

The Christian Aksummites, wrote a bible called the Kebra Negast in the 13th-century. It was less about christian virtues than it was about verifying for the Aksummite dynasty's non-African origins as sons of Shem through the child born to Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.

If you read the Kebra Negast, it not only is obsessed with who is and who isn't sons of Shem, but it makes clear that "Ham's sons will be slaves for the sons of Shem and Japheth." It also makes clear that Solomon was not Black and that Sheba was.

Many of us, so conditioned to value Christianity, love the Aksummites for being the earliest Black Christians. This is about as worthless as loving the first American slave who gave up his ancestral religion to worship his master's god.

The non-Africoid race of Solomon, is very clear in the mind of the Amhara-Tigray; they are very proud to have him as a mythical ancestor of their Solomonic dynasty.

The vast majority of Amhara Christian art depicts Jesus and Mary, not as Black nor White, but as a beige Asiatic.

Above is a painting done by Ethiopian artist Maître Afewerk Tekle in the St. George Church, one of the oldest and largest churches in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

It depicts a clearly Black Makeda (Queen of Sheba) with her pale Asiatic baby-daddy, Solomon.
