This is Pharoah Montuhotep II, (ca. 2030 BCE) the 11th Dynasty king who reunited Kemet (ancient Egypt) after the political collapse of the Old Kingdom inaugurating the period known as the Middle Kingdom, the Classical Age. He reigned for over 50 years and goes down in history as not only one of the greatest Pharoahs of ancient Kemet, but one of the shrewdest politicians of all time.European Egyptologists upon finding this statue of him and other representations said he was actually white and the Black paint was only symbolic....of course they never did say what the Black skin paint was symbolic of. They also never explained why a king of a civilization that believed in an eternal afterlife as long as you are remembered would not want people to remember WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE.
