The Kingdom of Kush (Nubia): The Great Black Empire of Africa – An In-Depth Analysis

Introduction: Kush – Africa’s Forgotten Superpower

The Kingdom of Kush was one of the greatest Black civilizations in history, yet it is often overlooked in mainstream historical narratives. Located in what is now modern-day Sudan and southern Egypt, Kush was a powerful African empire that lasted for over 3,000 years (circa 2500 BCE – 350 CE).

Kush was not a lesser version of Egypt—it was a strong, independent civilization with its own culture, writing system, military power, and economic dominance. In fact, at several points in history, Kush conquered and ruled Egypt itself.

From a Garveyite perspective, the history of Kush is a testament to:

Black self-determination – The Kushites built their own empires, economies, and armies.

Black resistance – Kush successfully fought off multiple foreign invaders, including Egypt, Persia, and Rome.

Black excellence – The Kushites were masters of trade, iron production, and pyramid construction.

By studying Kush, Black people today can reclaim their legacy and recognize that African civilization and power existed long before European and Arab invasions.

1. Origins of Kush: The Birth of African Civilization

A. The Geography and Early Beginnings of Kush

Kush developed in the Nile Valley, south of Egypt, in a region rich in gold, iron, and precious stones.

This strategic location allowed Kush to control major trade routes between central Africa, Egypt, and the Mediterranean world.

Archaeological evidence suggests that Kushite civilization began as early as 2500 BCE, developing alongside, and in many cases before, Egypt.

Example: The first major city of Kush, Kerma (circa 2400 BCE - 1500 BCE), was one of the oldest urban centres in Africa.

Key Takeaway: Kush was not a colony of Egypt—it was a powerful African kingdom in its own right.

2. The Power and Influence of Kushite Civilization

A. The Three Major Periods of Kushite History

Kushite history is generally divided into three major periods:

1)The Kerma Period (2500–1500 BCE): Early Kingdom of Kush

Kerma was one of Africa’s first powerful kingdoms.

The Kushites built mudbrick palaces, massive burial mounds, and temples that rivalled those in Egypt.

Kush was an economic powerhouse, controlling gold mines and major trade routes connecting central Africa with Egypt.

Kushite warriors were known for their powerful archers, which made their army one of the deadliest in the ancient world.

Example: The Egyptians referred to Kush as the “Land of the Bow” because of its legendary archers.

2)The Napata Period (1000–300 BCE): Kush Conquers Egypt

After Egypt weakened, Kushite kings from Napata seized control of Egypt and ruled as Pharaohs (25th Dynasty).

The Kushite rulers revived Egypt’s culture, temples, and economy, restoring the greatness of the Nile Valley.

The most famous of these rulers was Pharaoh Taharqa, who built monuments across Egypt and defended Africa from Assyrian invaders.

Example: The Bible mentions Taharqa (2 Kings 19:9) as the African ruler who resisted the Assyrian invasion of Egypt.

3)The Meroë Period (300 BCE–350 CE): Kush as a Trade and Ironworking Superpower

Kush moved its capital to Meroë, which became a major centre of iron production, trade, and wealth.

The Kushites developed their own writing system (Meroitic script), one of the world’s first alphabets.

The pyramids of Meroë, more numerous than Egypt’s, show the continued power and cultural uniqueness of the Kushites.

Example: The pyramids of Meroë, which are smaller but more abundant than those in Egypt, prove that Kush had its own distinct royal burial traditions.

Key Takeaway: Kush was not just a copy of Egypt—it was an independent African empire with its own contributions to world civilization.

3. The Economic Power of Kush: Gold, Iron, and Global Trade

A. Kush’s Control Over Global Trade

Kush was one of the richest nations in the ancient world due to its gold mines and iron production.

The Kushites controlled trade routes connecting Africa, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean.

Kush exported gold, ivory, ebony, frankincense, and iron weapons to Egypt, Greece, Rome, and India.

Example: Ancient Greek and Roman texts describe the Kushites as a wealthy and highly skilled people.

Key Takeaway: Africa was the centre of world trade long before Europeans arrived—the problem is that today, Africa does not control its own resources.

4. The Military Strength of Kush: Warriors, Archers, and Resistance to Foreign Invasion

A. The Kushite Military: Black Warriors Who Resisted Empires

The Kushites were feared for their elite archers, cavalry, and chariots.

Kush successfully fought against Egypt, the Assyrians, the Persians, and even the Roman Empire.

Example: Queen Amanirenas, the one-eyed warrior queen of Kush, led her army against the Romans in 24 BCE.

She destroyed Roman settlements, beheaded a statue of Emperor Augustus, and forced Rome into a peace treaty.

Key Takeaway: Black people must study the military strategies of Kush and understand that no race survives without defending itself.

5. The Decline of Kush: Lessons for Black People Today

A. Why Did Kush Collapse?

Over time, Kush weakened due to:

Deforestation from overuse of iron production.

Trade competition from rival empires.

Invasions from Aksum (modern Ethiopia).

By 350 CE, the Kingdom of Aksum conquered Kush, marking the end of the great Black empire.

Key Takeaway: No Black nation can survive without controlling its economy, resources, and military.

6. The Garveyite Vision: How to Restore the Legacy of Kush Today

A. Reclaiming Black Economic and Political Power

Black people must control their own economies, just like Kush controlled the gold and iron trade.

Black nations must unite, just as Kush once ruled over Egypt and Africa.

We must invest in Pan-African development, creating trade networks between Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora.

Example: If all Black people worldwide reinvested in Africa, we could create a new Kushite empire in the 21st century.

Key Takeaway: Kush shows that Black people are builders of empires—the only question is, will we build again?

Conclusion: The Kushite Spirit Must Rise Again

Marcus Garvey taught that Black people must:

"Liberate Africa, build Black industries, and establish a Black global economy."

Will we let whitewashed history continue to erase Black greatness?

Or will we rebuild the power that Kush once had and reclaim our destiny?

The Choice is Ours. The Time is Now.

Just Another Libera AU

Soooo, my wife is amazing and when I was talking to her today, she said a doozy and it sort of...snowballed. Imagine this: The Spirit of the Puzzle is not a dead Pharaoh, but is rather the Queen Mother of the heir of the throne, Atem. The Unknown Queen, who gave her life and soul and sealed herself in the Millennium Puzzle after the death of her only son at the hands of Zorc Necrophades, who manipulated another innocent child (TKB) in order to facilitate his evil plans. Her son got reborn as Yuugi Mutou, who solved the puzzle. The Queen does not know who she is, but she knows that the boy whose body she is inhabiting is her son. She doesn't know how she knows this, but she does; and she will protect and nurture this child with everything she has. So instead of a masculine badass pharaoh coming out whenever Yuugi's 'other self' emerges, you get a sophisticated femme fatale serving so much cunt that she could teach Marik Ishtar a thing or two. (Funny: Her true appearance also looks quite a bit like if Ishizu and Marik fused) She also -- after Duelist Kingdom, anyway -- ships Yuugi and Kaiba. After all, only the best is allowed to marry her son, and Kaiba is literally one of the richest people in the world and an extremely strong duelist to boot. Kaiba dueling her in the afterlife would be extremely awkward (for Kaiba): Queen: Well, well. You didn't beat me, but you proved yourself worthy. Kaiba: Don't patronize me! Queen: I'm not. I'm giving you my blessing. Kaiba: Your what? Why would I need-- Queen: To marry my son. You are in love with Yuugi, aren't you? Kaiba: *Choking CEO noises*

BASICS OF ISLAM: Fasting: On the Month of Ramadan.Part2

Third Point

One of the many instances of wisdom in fasting from the point of view of man’s social life is as follows:

Human beings have been created differently with regard to their livelihoods. In consequence of this, God Almighty invites the rich to assist the poor, so that through the hunger experienced in fasting, they can truly understand the pains and hunger which the poor suffer. If there were no fasting, many self-indulgent rich would be unable to perceive just how grievous are hunger and poverty and how needy of compassion are those who suffer them.

Compassion for one’s fellow men is an essential part of true thankfulness.

Whoever a person is, there will always be someone poorer than himself in some respect. He is enjoined to be compassionate towards such a person. If he were not himself compelled to suffer hunger, he would be unable give the person – through compassion – the help and assistance he is obliged to offer. And even if he were able, it would be deficient, for he would not have truly experienced hunger himself.

Truly experience hunger yourself.

Become more compassionate towards others.

Fourth Point

One instance of wisdom in fasting in Ramadan with respect to training the instinctual soul is as follows:

The instinctual soul wants to be free and independent, and considers itself to be thus. According to the dictates of its nature, it even desires an imaginary dominicality and to act as it pleases. It does not want to admit that it is being sustained and trained through innumerable bounties. Especially if it possesses worldly wealth and power, and if heedlessness also encourages it, it will devour God’s bounties like a usurping, thieving animal.

Thus, in the month of Ramadan, the instinctual soul of everyone, from the richest to the poorest, may understand that it does not own itself but is totally owned; that it is not free, but is a slave.

It understands that if it receives no command, it may not do the simplest and easiest thing; it cannot even stretch out its hand for water. Its imaginary dominicality is therefore shattered; it performs its worship and begins to offer thanks, its true duty.

Train your soul.

Offer worship and thanks.

Fifth Point

One of the many instances of wisdom in fasting in Ramadan from the point of view of improving the conduct of the instinctual soul and giving up its rebellious habits is as follows:

Due to its heedlessness the human soul forgets itself; it cannot see its utter powerlessness, want, and deficiency and it does not wish to see them. It does not think of just how weak it is, and how subject to transience and to disasters, nor of the fact that it consists merely of flesh and bones, which quickly decay and fall apart.

Simply, it assaults the world as though it possessed a body made of steel and imagined itself to be undying and eternal. It hurls itself on the world with intense greed and voracity, and passionate attachment and love. It is captivated by anything that gives it pleasure or that profits it. Moreover, it forgets its Creator, who sustains it with perfect compassion, and does not think of the consequences of its life and its life in the hereafter. Indeed, it wallows in dissipation and misconduct.

However, fasting in the month of Ramadan awakens even the most heedless and obstinate to their weakness, impotence, and want.

Hunger makes them think of their stomachs and they understand the need therein. They realize how unsound are their weak bodies, and perceive how needy they are for kindness and compassion. So they abandon the soul’s pharaoh-like despotism and recognizing their utter impotence and want, perceive a desire to take refuge at the divine court. They prepare themselves to knock at the door of mercy with the hands of thankfulness – so long as heedlessness has not destroyed their hearts, that is.

Recognize your utter impotence.

Knock at the door of mercy with the hands of thankfulness.

Tombs Rich in Artifacts Discovered in Cyprus

An archaeological expedition from Sweden's University of Gothenburg has uncovered tombs rich in artifacts and antiquities in Cyprus that makes the discovery among the richest ever found in the Mediterranean region.

Peter Fischer, the leader of the expedition and a professor of archaeology at the University of Gothenburg, said “considering the richness of the grave goods, it is a reasonable assumption that these were royal tombs, even though we do not know much about the form of government practiced in the city at the time."

Fischer believes that the artifacts, found just outside the Bronze Age trading city of Hala Sultan Tekke, indicate the tombs' occupants ruled the city, which was a center for copper trade between 1500–1300 BCE. The tombs, located outside the 50-hectare city, consist of underground chambers of varying sizes, accessed via a narrow passage from the surface.

Cyprus' Department of Antiquities, in an update posted to their website, noted: "The city’s wealth seems to have been based on the production of copper and trade with near and distant cultures. Judging by the rich burial gifts, the tombs belonged to families of the city’s ruling class who took part in the export of copper and intercultural trade."

Unearthed artifacts include imports from Egypt, Baltic region

The Swedish Söderberg expedition has been carrying out excavations in Hala Sultan Tekke near the city of Larnaca on the south coast of Cyprus since 2010. Though the expedition has previously found chamber tombs with valuable grave goods, the latest discovery is unprecedented given the superb quality and quantity of artifacts.

“We found more than 500 complete artifacts distributed among two tombs. Many of the artifacts consist of precious metals, gems, ivory and high-quality ceramics," Fischer said.

About half of the artifacts unearthed during the expedition are believed to have been imported from different civilizations. For example, gold and ivory came from Egypt while precious stones, such as blue lapis lazuli, dark red carnelian and blue-green turquoise, were imported from Afghanistan, India and Sinai respectively. Amber objects from the Baltic region were also found among the artifacts.

The Department of Antiquities said that three chamber tombs, preliminarily dated to the 14th century BC, were exposed. While one of them had been looted, most likely in the 19th century AD, the other two were "undisturbed", apart from the collapse of their chambers.

Items recovered from those include locally produced pottery and ornaments and numerous items of jewelry such as diadems, which are ornamental headbands. Embossed images of bulls, gazelles, lions and flowers adorn the diadems. Bronze weapons, some inlaid with ivory, were also recovered as well as a gold-framed seal made of the hard mineral hematite with inscriptions of gods and rulers.

"Several items of ivory and faience are imports from Egypt during the famous 18th Dynasty, the time of the well-known pharaohs Thutmose III, Amenophis IV (Akhenaten) and his wife Nefertiti," said the department.

The excavation team used magnetometers, a type of instrument that can produce images showing objects and structures up to two meters beneath the surface, to carry out their expedition, according to the university.

Besides artifacts, the research team also unearthed several well-preserved skeletons in the tombs including one of a woman surrounded by dozens of ceramic vessels, jewelry and a round bronze mirror. A one-year-old child with a ceramic toy also lay beside her.

Ancient Egypt continues to amaze the world with its charm and beauty. Every year, excavations uncover new treasures from the times of the pharaohs, telling stories of an ancient and advanced civilization, from huge temples to ornate tombs, from magnificent statues to luxury jewelry, everything fascinates us with its secrets and details. There is no doubt that ancient Egypt is one of the richest and most fascinating cultures in history.

[biastrafig]

I mean the pharaohs died the richest man in the graveyard, sooo maybe

whenever i'm trying to talk myself out of buying something i don't need i always hear my old russian professor's voice echoing in my head: "WHAT??? WILL YOU DIE THE RICHEST MAN IN THE GRAVEYARD?" and then i make an unwise financial decision

[faroukomar2910]

In preparation for its opening, pieces from Tutankhamun's treasures are being transferred to the Grand Egyptian Museum.

As part of the ongoing preparations for its grand inauguration, the Grand Egyptian Museum has received 163 priceless artifacts from the collection of the golden boy-king Tutankhamun. These items were transferred from the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir Square, aiming to present the full set of the young pharaoh’s belongings together for the first time in one location.

This move is part of a carefully structured timeline that will continue with more transfers leading up to the official opening on July 3. The visit by Egypt’s Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Sherif Fathy, underscored the strategic importance of the operation. He confirmed that more pieces would arrive soon, each one destined to be showcased in dedicated halls. For those interested in exploring such iconic collections, many Egypt Tours offer curated trips tailored to historical landmarks.

According to Dr. Ahmed Ghoneim, CEO of the Grand Egyptian Museum Authority, each artifact was relocated under strict scientific and conservation protocols. Teams documented the condition of each item, packed them with precision, and began necessary restoration work prior to placing them in the museum’s permanent display cases. These efforts parallel the growing popularity of custom Egypt Tours Packages that include museum visits and heritage experiences.

Among the items transferred were the famed ceremonial chair discovered in the hallway leading to Tutankhamun’s tomb, and his gilded wooden shrine for canopic jars, along with dazzling gold and carnelian jewelry. The ceremonial chair, in particular, is regarded as one of the finest representations of New Kingdom craftsmanship. It features intricate inlays of ivory, ebony, faience, and gold, with a central sun disk protected by the winged goddess Nekhbet. Such artifacts serve as highlights in many Egypt Classic Tours, which delve deep into Egypt's ancient dynasties.

Located just outside Cairo, near the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum stands as one of the most ambitious cultural projects in the world. With more than 100,000 artifacts on display, including the complete collection of King Tutankhamun, the museum is designed to modernize how ancient Egyptian history is presented. For visitors short on time, there are numerous Egypt Day Tours that allow a full exploration of the museum and surrounding areas within a single day.

The museum's long-delayed opening has been pushed back several times due to political upheaval, economic challenges, and the global pandemic. However, officials now confirm all systems are go for July 3. Festivities will include days of nationwide celebrations and activities. As Dr. Ghoneim shared in a recent TV interview, the opening ceremony will be a dazzling showcase of Egypt’s cultural depth, spotlighting both the museum and the nearby pyramids. For those docking in Egypt via cruises, Egypt Shore Excursions provide guided visits to the museum and neighboring sites.

Tourism authorities are also preparing themed Egypt Easter Tours, offering seasonal cultural itineraries around the museum's debut. For travelers starting from the capital, there are flexible Egypt Day Tours from Cairo that explore both the GEM and other historical treasures of Cairo and Giza.

The Grand Egyptian Museum is poised to honour Egypt’s past and enrich its tourism future, welcoming the world to one of the richest heritage sites on the planet.

[mirabilefuturum]

Mikhail Kuzmin, from "The Songs of Alexandria" (1905-08)

If I were a warlord in ancient times,

I would conquer Ethiopia and Persia,

I would overthrow the pharaoh,

I would have a pyramid built for me

taller than Khufu's,

and I would be

the greatest man in all of Egypt.

If I were a cunning thief,

I would rob the tomb of Menkaure,

I would sell the gemstones to the Jews of Alexandria,

I would buy lands and mills,

and I would be

the richest man in all of Egypt.

If I were the second Antinous,

who drowned himself in the sacred Nile,

I would make people lose their minds with my beauty,

temples would be erected to honour me within my lifetime,

and I would be

the mightiest man in all of Egypt.

If I were a great sage,

I would spend my every coin,

I would quit positions and occupations,

I would guard other people's gardens,

and I would be

the freest man in all of Egypt.

If I were the last one among your slaves,

I would live in the dungeon

and I would see once a year or two

the goldwork of your sandals

when you accidentally pass by the dungeons,

and I would be

the happiest man in all of Egypt.

[razziecat]

And yet where are the pharaohs today? We may remember some of their names, but they're all dead. They make no policy, influence no living population, control nothing. They're a curiosity, a museum display, or still lie in their tombs. Mortality is still all-powerful. The richest people in the world are still under its thumb.

The Secret Chamber of the Great Pyramid

The Great Pyramid of Giza has fascinated researchers for centuries, but in recent years, hidden chambers have been detected using advanced scanning technology. Some believe these chambers could contain:

Lost knowledge from an ancient advanced civilization

The true tomb of Pharaoh Khufu

Artifacts proving extraterrestrial contact

The Tomb of China’s First Emperor – Qin Shi Huang

The famous Terracotta Army guards a massive underground mausoleum, but the main tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang remains sealed. Legends say it contains:

Rivers of liquid mercury, symbolizing immortality

Advanced technology unknown to modern science

A map of the universe hidden within the chamber

Derinkuyu – The Underground City of Turkey

A multi-level underground city in Turkey, Derinkuyu was carved out thousands of years ago. Some of its most mysterious features include:

Air shafts providing oxygen deep underground

Massive stone doors that can only be opened from the inside

A network large enough to shelter 20,000 people

The Unopened Doors of India’s Padmanabhaswamy Temple

One of the richest temples in the world, the Padmanabhaswamy Temple in India, has several vaults filled with treasure. However, one chamber, known as Vault B, remains unopened. Legends claim that opening it could bring:

A massive curse

Hidden knowledge of ancient spiritual technology

The greatest treasure ever discovered

Conclusion

Throughout history, lost civilizations have left behind sealed chambers, hidden doors, and underground mysteries. Could these places hold secrets that rewrite history?

[chunibyo-x-sorcerer]

"Jinx!" He sees that Jinx got kicked in the gut, but he goes to help her up. He hears Mina being happy as if she is obsessed over this slab. Like the slab is effecting her.

"It's mine! Mine finally! I can sell this stupid slab and make billions on the market! You brats will cower before me! I will be-" that's when she saw the loscuts now swarming around her but Mina got scared not moving.

The swarm is now circling around the Mina, Daichi and Jinx. Daichi helps Jinx out by blasting the fire towards the swarm so they won't get close to him or Jinx. He wouldn't want Yuji's girlfriend to get hurt! No way! After Jinx erected a fire barrier to cover themselves, Mina included. The swarms are trying to get through but end up getting burned. The swarm is now separating the three from the rest of the group. The heated exchange between Jinx and Mina.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? LET ME OUT-"

"WILL YOU JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!? YOUR GOING TO THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY FOR A DAMN SLAB!? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Jinx shouted mad but Mina glares.

"WHY DO YOU CARE! YOUR NOT GOING TO BE RICH BUT ME! I'LL BE THE RICHEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD! I WON'T LET SOME DAMN BUGS STOP ME!" she said trying to get out of the barrier.

"Hey stop that!"

Daichi goes to grab the slab now. "ENOUGH OF THIS ALREADY! I AM NOT LETTING ANYONE DIE BECAUSE OF YOU!" Daichi shouted at her, pulling it away from her, but Mina was still stubborn. "GIVE.ME.THE.SLAB!"

"NEVER!"

"RETURN THE SLAB!"

"NO!"

"RETURN THE SLAB!" The voice of the pharaoh is heard. But this time, the voice is closer, as if the pharaoh is here. The swarm begins to part like the sea, showing the pharaoh himself to everyone. King Ramses. It is moving towards the ground. "Return the slab..."

Daichi widens his eyes, and Eito squawks. "Holy crap!" He's scary up close.

Yuria and Hana did as Taz said, staying close to her while Miko was worried seeing more and more of the angry loscuts being burned more and more. However, they just kept eating more and more.

Megumi had Nobara stay close too but she was seeing all this while Yuji was worried. Though, the few saw the two bolt and leave Mina!

"Wait, their running off!" Miko said seeing them leaving. Seems like they got scared and didn't want to be eaten alive.

"At least I got paid half of this job!" Sachi said, now wanting to defend himself, whacking the loscuts away from him. Rena continues to chant to erect a barrier of golden circles around herself to protect herself. "Damn it. We need to find Mina...."

"Forget her! She made her bed!" Sachi yelled. "I pay for defending and getting that slab over."

"But I can't leave her! She already is a pain but she shouldn't die from these things!" Rena said.

"ARE YOU CRAZY!? You saw what those bugs did to the curse! Imagine that happening to a human! She'll be killed!" Sachi looks to Rena but she looks at him. "You either leave her and spare your life or end up dead like her!"

Daichi growls and helps Jinx out. "LET GO! YOU CRAZY LADY! YOU WANT TO DIE THAT BADLY?!"

"I WON'T DIE!! YOU LITTLE TROLLS DON'T KNOW WHEN TO QUIT! JUST LET IT GO!" Mina said struggling as she pulls harder.

"Come on let go! You'll end up dying here if your that greedy for money! It's not worth your life here!" Jinx said pulling more. Mina keeps pulling harder but Jinx wouldn't let go.

That's when she pulls harder before she raised her foot. "TO ME IT IS!" she shouted kicking Jinx hard in the gut. Jinx winces from the kick but she pulls the slab to her chest. However, Jinx wince a little only to see the other laughing.

"It's mine! Mine finally! I can sell this stupid slab and make billions on the market! You brats will cower before me! I will be-" that's when she saw the loscuts now swarming around her but Mina got scared not moving.

Being quick, Jinx blast a fire ball at the swarm seeing them get burned but Mina saw the bug now swarming her, Jinx, and Daichi. Jinx made a black flame barrier around the three but they were now ramming or trying to eat at her shield while she held it up.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? LET ME OUT-"

"WILL YOU JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!? YOUR GOING TO THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY FOR A DAMN SLAB!? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Jinx shouted mad but Mina glares.

"WHY DO YOU CARE! YOUR NOT GOING TO BE RICH BUT ME! I'LL BE THE RICHEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD! I WON'T LET SOME DAMN BUGS STOP ME!" she said trying to get out of the barrier.

"Hey stop that!"

Battle of Djahy For Pharaoh Ramses III

Before the battle of Djahy, Egypt maintained its reputation as one of the most powerful and richest kingdoms of the time, which encouraged many different foreign factions and alliances to attack it. One of those forces was the mysterious Sea Peoples who attempted to invade several times during the reign of Ramesses II and his successor Merneptah, but were easily defeated because they were not strong enough to face the powerful military forces of Egypt. But everything changed during the reign of Ramesses III, who saw them as a real threat to the future of Egypt as their number and power increased. Now it’s time to explore the full information about the battle of Djahy.

A Tale of Taxes

Since ancient times, the tax collector's due A portion of the fruits of labor claimed From Pharaoh's wheat to Caesar's revenue The powers that be have always tax ordained In 1913 the Income Tax Act was born A progressive rate, the more you earn, the more you pay Yet loopholes let the crafty duck becoming the norm While common folk get no such getaway The system seems too big to fight alone We dutifully file each April's eve But unfairness makes the people groan Will there be no reprieve The Panama Papers show how some connive To stash their cash in shell company's name Tax havens help the richest few to thrive A two-tier system - privilege without shame For all the rest, there's no choice but to bear The burden of a tax they cannot dodge A bitter pill - injustice hard to square The government can’t seek self-sabotage Yet schools and roads and much that we hold dear Depend on steady flow to the treasury Fair tax, the framework shall not delay another year We need a system serving you and me
