In Herodotus' Histories there appears a story told by Egyptian priests about a Pharaoh Sesostris, who once led an army northward overland to Asia Minor, then fought his way westward until he crossed into Europe, where he defeated the Scythians and Thracians (possibly in modern Romania and Bulgaria). Sesostris then returned home, leaving colonists behind at the river Phasis in Colchis. Herodotus cautioned the reader that much of this story came second hand via Egyptian priests, but also noted that the Colchians were commonly known to be Egyptian colonists.[1]
According to Diodorus Siculus (who calls him Sesoösis), and Strabo, he conquered the whole world, even Scythia and Ethiopia, divided Egypt into administrative districts or nomes, was a great law-giver, and introduced a caste system into Egypt and the worship of Serapis. Herodotus also relates that when Sesostris defeated an army without much resistance he erected a pillar in their capital with a ? on it to symbolize the fact that the army fought like women.[2] Pliny the Elder also makes mention of Sesostris, who, he claims, was defeated by Saulaces, a gold-rich king of Colchis.[3]

I had to double-check this wasn't some Wikipedia shenanigans going on.............
But it's legit!
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0126:book=2:chapter=102[4] When those that he met were valiant men and strove hard for freedom, he set up pillars in their land, the inscription on which showed his own name and his country's, and how he had overcome them with his own power; [5] but when the cities had made no resistance and been easily taken, then he put an inscription on the pillars just as he had done where the nations were brave; but he also drew on them the private parts of a woman, wishing to show clearly that the people were cowardly. -
Khakaure Senusret III (also written as Senwosret III or the hellenised form Sesostris III) was a pharaoh of Egypt. He ruled from 1878 BC to 1839 BC during a time of great power and prosperity,[1] and was the fifth monarch of the Twelfth Dynasty of the Middle Kingdom. He was a great pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty and is considered to be perhaps the most powerful Egyptian ruler of the dynasty. Consequently, he is regarded as one of the sources for the legend about Sesostris. His military campaigns gave rise to an era of peace and economic prosperity that reduced the power of regional rulers and led to a revival in craftwork, trade and urban development.[2] Senusret III was one of the few kings who were deified and honored with a cult during their own lifetime.[3]

Wait a minute. The article mentions the worship of Serapis. Serapis was a white ? created by the Greeks to impose themselves into the Kemetic spiritual system. Are you sure he was a Black man , because if he was he already compromised. -

I referencing the part were the article says "caste system into Egypt and the worship of Serapis" unless he was talking about someone else in that part. -
Serapis was not a Nisut Bitti.
-
He did not rule the whole word.Herodotus also made a lot of things up.
-
He didn't rule the whole world that's obvious a lot of these ancient rulers claimed to be masters of the world, but he was still trill as ?

Kemet is considered Ethiopia's oldest daughter. Read a book, you ? idiot. -
The designation of Ethiopia in those times is extremely tricky... there's maps of Africa in which the word Ethiopia designates a stretch from the west coast of Congo all the way to the horn of africa.

Ethiopia literally means burned face. Referring to nations where they were darker than the Greeks. -
