Classical sources attest black Egyptians served in Sesostris’s Europe campaign

Evidence

  1. “The story of King Sesostris in Europe and of some of his soldiers who settled by the Phasis River has been related to Herodotus’s report of black, woolly-haired Colchians and has been interpreted as evidence of a classical tradition that there were Ethiopians among the troops of the Egyptian Sesostris.” — Cedric J.
