The First Black Pharaoh: Pharaoh Alara 790 – 760 BCE
” Gods make a king, man make a king, but Amun made me.”
Pharaoh Alara was the first to unify upper Egypt, establishing Napada as the religious Capitol in Nubia. Founder of the 25th Dynasty, his reign lasted for thirty years.

Pharaoh Alara was the first to unify upper Egypt, establishing Napada as the religious Capitol in Nubia. Founder of the 25th Dynasty, his reign lasted for thirty years.
Alara himself was not a 25th dynasty Nubian king since he never controlled any region of Egypt during his reign compared to his two immediate successors: Kashta and Piye respectively.
“Nubian literature credits him with a substantial reign since future Nubian kings requested that they might enjoy a reign as long as Alara's. His memory was also central to the myth of the origins of the Kushite kingdom which was embellished over time.”

Alara was a deeply revered figure in Nubian culture and the first Nubian king whose name has come down to scholars.

Alara's existence is first documented in the Egyptian hieroglyphic stela of Queen Tabiry who was Alara's daughter by Queen Kasaqa, Alara's wife.

The Kings of Kush: Events of the 750’s B.C. (starts at 8:12)
“As Egypt slipped once again into decline at the close of the New Kingdom (11th century BCE), the viceroys of Kush, supported by their Nubian armies, became virtually independent kings, free of Egyptian control.”

“By the 8th century BCE the kings of Kush came from hereditary ruling families of Egyptianized Nubian chiefs who possessed neither political nor family ties with Egypt. Under one such king, Kashta, Kush acquired control of Upper (i.e., southern) Egypt, ...
... and under his son Piye (formerly known as Piankhi; reigned c. 750–c. 719 BCE) the whole of Egypt to the shores of the Mediterranean was brought under the administration of Kush.”
