Women of Nubia: Early Representatives of the Goddess

- This lecture explores the women of Nubia-priestesses, queens, and goddesses-as they are depicted in the artifacts that were on display at SLAM during the exhibition "Nubia: Treasures of Ancient Africa." Royal women often served as manifestations of the goddess Hathor, whose iconography is present on many protective amulets buried with Nubian queens.

The Goddess Was and Is First and Forever...
Thank you. My only issue is about the lecturer knowledge of African languages, when she says that Egyptian language is more linked to Arab, Greek languages etc...and not to African languages as does Nubian language. What about the proceedings of UNESCO 1974 Cairo Egypt colloquium which precisely established that Ancient Egyptian language was closer to African languages such as Senegalese Wolof and Serere, than to any non African language? That was the thesis Pr Cheikh Anta Diop and his disciple and friend Obenga Theophile syccessfully withheld in 1974 and there after. Obenga is still argue that this point was accepted across the board by world most eminent egyptoligists at that time who attended. Has it been contrary scientific evidence, considering what the lady states in the last part of the talk?
@APEP HATEM this fraud guy again? Fool have a seat you Johnnie come lately offspring of colonizers that had nothing to do with the original people other than to bite the hands & feed off the greatness of the original people that allowed your people in! Have several seats!
@APEP HATEM false. Repeated lies become truths in the mind of people who’s fail to do research. (So much more would be understood of the ancient world if this racist ideology wasn’t where the anthropologist and other people who studied antiquity thought from.)
@APEP HATEM Us Egyptians? lol you people are not in anyway connected to the ancient Egyptians not culturally nor spiritually or even genetically and this is a fact. Just by the images we can tell and now there are many scholars coming out saying the ancient Egyptians were indigenous Africans. The current Egyptians came to Egypt through Roman, Greek, Turkish, Persian invasions they are not indigenous. You people do not have the E1B1A or E1B1B DNA which is the ancient Egyptian dna but you find a lot of Africans with it. You don't practice the same spiritual system but many Africans indigenous religions do if you compare it to the ancient Egyptian spiritual systems its very similar and I know because I have been initiated into different African spiritual systems and can make comparisons. Also many Africans have ancient Egyptians names today if you look at the way some cultures in Africa dress or even do their hair it's very similar to the ancient Egyptians now Cheik Anta Diop a scientist and scholar proved that the ancient Egyptians were of the black race he proved this in the 1974 Unesco conference where debated over 80 European scholars alongside another black scholar by the name of Theophile Obenga and won the debate because he proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the ancient Egyptians do not have anything to do with modern Egyptians as the Modern Egyptian came through other cultures invading Egypt and North Africa. There are rock paintings proving that in very ancient times the inhabitants of North Africa were black until invasions. He also proved that the languages the ancient Egyptians used was African. Now from what you wrote here you seem to be repeating racist European talking points well let me educate you on the topic of Africans not having a writing system because what I find with a lot of you people who talk like this is you don't bother to research or even try to study African cultures its like you stand outside and just make stupid statements or racist Euro or Arab centric talking points. Many Africans had writing systems Examples of ancient writing in Africa are the Ge’ez script of Ethiopia, the most ancient African script still in use, the Nsibidi of Nigeria, Adrinka of the Akan people of Ghana, the Tifnagh of the Tuareg people, and Val and Mende of Liberia and Sierra Leone,( evidence of its Liberian/Sierra Leonean age date from Goundaka, Mali, that date to 3000 B.C). Scripts from the Proto Saharan of The Sudan, Aire Soroba of Mali, and many others. Now apartfeom writing systems they also practiced certain spiritual exercises because they believed being able to keep knowledge in the mind was more powerful than having it written down that's a whole other topic. This is why it is important to go deeper into a culture if you want to understand why they did ertain things or else you will be in the outside speculating and forming your own opinions. Now the Berlin Museum recently proved that the ancient Egyptian civilisation originated from the Sudanthkusands of years before ancient Egypt started and the same Africans expanded and started the ancient Egyptian civilisations now I have a lot of ancient Egyptian images and most look very African now we all know not all Africans look the same because we have different phenotypes nilotics look different to cushites or bantus etc while some tribes are a mix of all the three and others black people do not just come in coarse hair and flat noses there are blacks with straighter hairs, thin noses as well some tribes are slimmer others are stocky. Some Africans have darker skin others have dark or light brown skin, reddish brown skin or even light skin and even almost yellow skin these types are called lights skin blacks. From what I have seen a lot of ancient Egyptians had hairstyles like plaits the same styles many Africans still wear today I don't see modern Egyptians with that sort of braided hairstyles not even the images of seen of arabs or Romans or Greeks never wore these styles either only Africans wear those styles. I also see a lot of ancient egyptians wearing what we call an afro modern Egyptians don't wear an afro the only Egyptians that were braids or afros are the black Egyptians I don't see the white looking ones with it. Saying this I noticed a lot of the statues being promoted are the ones with thinner or european features when usually from the periods the invaders came into Egypt and hide the earlier dynasties. But here is a link to the video of the Berlin museum talking about the research of Sudan being the cradle of civilisation and it being the originator of the Ancient Egyptian civilisation th-cam.com/video/ATugi2in588/w-d-xo.html
@APEP HATEM that is a lie Nilo-Saharan and Niger-Congo languages are similar to Egyptian language. KMT was a Nile Valley Civilization.
Dr Clyde Winters in his book The Mountains of the Moon, Niger-Congo Speakers and the Origin of Egypt explains the correlation between the languages.
This lady speaking is not a linguist as she stated.
@APEP HATEM why are you here?! THIS is a video about nubia/ Sudan. Also you are no way connected to ancient Egypt. Neither am I but you are further from them than I. Get over it.
Very interesting
In the comments…Let the racism began! ( modern Egyptians don’t like this kind of research 🔬)
With their sick azzes, smh. They HATE facts.
Have you uncovered research on Ananke/Adrasteia?
Great presentation! Thank you so much. Question: Do the Nubians of today, or people in that area, look like the people who lived there (in that area) 8,000 years ago?
YES OF COURSE!!!!! DO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND AND FRANCE LOOK THE SAME????…..
YOU ARE A RACIST CLOWN FOR THAT QUESTION
No. The Nubians there now are mixed with Arab
