(^68) “In the early eleventh century BC Egypt split into two semi-independent domains: Lower
Egypt, which was governed by the pharaoh, and Upper Egypt, which was governed in the name of
Amun by his high priest at Thebes. By early Dynasty 21 (ca. 1080–945 BC), most of Lower Nubia
seems to have become a no-man’s land, while Upper Nubia became independent under unknown
rulers.” (“Kushite Resurgence: The Nubian Conquest of Egypt: 1080–650 BC,” nubianet.org, 2001,

(^69) “White supremacy is the belief, and promotion of the belief, that white people are superior
to people of other racial backgrounds. ...White supremacy was dominant in the United States before
the American Civil War and for decades after Reconstruction. In large areas of the United States, this
included the holding of non-whites (specifically African Americans) in chattel slavery. The outbreak
of the Civil War saw the desire to uphold white supremacy cited as a cause for state secession and the
formation of the Confederate States of America. In some parts of the United States, many people who
were considered non-white were disenfranchised, barred from government office, and prevented
from holding most government jobs well into the second half of the twentieth century. Many U.S.
states banned interracial marriage through anti-miscegenation laws until 1967, when these laws were
declared unconstitutional. White leaders often viewed Native Americans as obstacles to economic
and political progress, rather than as settlers in their own right.” (“White supremacy,” Wikipedia, the
