King Piye vs Egypt | The Battle Kemet Lost
This episode of King Cam’s Ujumbe Podcast we will look at the differences in power struggles between Kemet and Ancient Nubia, highlighting how Nubians employed both military strength and spiritual tactics.  Learn about Piye and his Nubian King conquest, which was more than a military campaign but also a Spiritual Warfare event.
Journey back to 8th century BCE as we uncover the legendary campaign of King Piye of the Kushite Empire.  The mighty ruler of Kush, who conquered Egypt not with brutality—but with divine purpose and spiritual power.

In this episode, we decode the inscriptions of the stela, explore Piye’s sacred motivations, and walk through his bold political strategy that unified Upper and Lower Egypt under Nubian rule by Nubian Pharaohs. Learn how the 25th Dynasty began, and why Piye’s words still echo with timeless authority.
