The Black Past For Children is a series of activity books aimed at teaching young readers all about Black history. As Black history in mainstream education is so often neglected at best, or ignored altogether at worst, this series helps fill the gaps left by today’s schools. Within these pages, readers will uncover fascinating facts and surreal stories about the oldest group of people on earth!

Gods and Pharaohs: The Nile Valley is the first book in the series. The histories of the Nile Valley kingdoms, from the mythic society of Ta-Seti to the magnificent kingdom of Kemet (Ancient Egypt) and the fearsome nation of Kush, are revealed in this book.

Inside these pages, you will meet some of the greatest pharaohs and smartest scholars, while also delving into maths, science, mummification and spiritual mythology.

Featuring over 60 brilliant illustrations, this book is written in a way that is both palatable for young readers while able to spark their imaginations. Maps with keys are found throughout the book for reference. Optional quizzes and activities also feature at the end of each chapter in order to help the learning process.

This book is written for ages 6-11. However, this is just a guide. Readers under age 6 that are ahead of their age group may find this book accessible, and older readers may still find benefit from this book as an introduction to Nile Valley history. Younger readers may also prefer to read this book alongside an adult.
