1 Prehistoric Era [unknown dynasties] [40,000 BCE - 11,500 BCE]
Note: Several of the Rulers of the Shenzi Dynasty were Basongora-Bahuma even though at that time Busongora was not yet an independent state. Moreover, some Kushite Dynasty rulers, as well as some ancient Egyptian rulers trace their origins to Busongora. The ancient Egyptians claimed that among several others, their deified king Osiris, originated in what is now Busongora. The name Osiris - and its variants, Ausar, Wazir etc - originate from the Songora name Warusiri, who was one of the legendary kings of the Kama Dynasty that ruled in Busongora before the founding of ancient Egypt.
