Sudan was known in its ancient history by several names such as Taseti, Tanhasu and Ethiopia, but among the most famous and most comprehensive is the name of Kush ( KUSH ). 😊😊😊😊😊😊
I was talking with my tour guide from Harar, Ethiopia. He stated the reason why there is 80+ ethnicities is a result of populations fleeing from Egypt during subsequent occupations.
*King Narmer, often recognized as a pivotal figure in ancient Egyptian history, is believed to have been of African descent, reflecting the diverse population of ancient Egypt. Here's a revised description emphasizing his African identity:* Description of King Narmer 1. Ethnic Background: King Narmer was a black African, consistent with the majority of the population in ancient Egypt. The people of that era would have exhibited a range of skin tones, likely including darker complexions typical of Africans, possibly with variations due to environmental and genetic factors. 2. Artistic Representations: In the Narmer Palette and other artistic depictions, Narmer is shown wearing the crown of Upper Egypt and is often portrayed with strong, idealized physical features. These representations typically emphasize broad shoulders and a powerful physique, characteristics that were celebrated in ancient Egyptian art to depict strength and divinity. 3. Cultural Context: As a ruler from a civilization that was fundamentally African, Narmer's identity would have been intertwined with the rich cultural heritage of the Nile Valley. His leadership marked the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, establishing a significant African civilization. 4. Vandalism of Statues: The defacement of statues, particularly the cutting off of noses, is a notable point in the discussion of ancient Egyptian representations. This vandalism may reflect political motives or conflicts rather than racial intentions, but it serves as a reminder of the historical struggles faced by African societies throughout history. Conclusion King Narmer is a symbol of ancient African heritage and identity. His rule not only represents the unification of Egypt but also reflects the rich history and cultural significance of black Africans in shaping one of the world's earliest civilizations.
In my opinion I have to go with how the ancient Greeks, who saw the ancient Egyptians and Ethiopians face to face, described them to be. They never said anything about light skin. They said They were described as “black skinned men with wooly hair” Herodotus 5th Century A.D.. Herodotus states in passages that the Egyptians were black/dark. They were also described as burnt black just like the Ethiopians. I will rely on the people who were actually among them rather than someone who is from these present days. I mean, that's common sense.
About the so-called Afrocentric claim of a black ancient Egyptian civilization..??!!! is it a black crusade now???!!!! or, is it another promised land myth….!!!!!! What do the Afrocentric maniacs think of this....!!!! does it look like the huts they lived in.... Looool ..... The tomb of king Ramses IV some 3100 yrs. ago. Valley of the kings, Luxor, Egypt. If subsaharan Africans truly are the descendants of ancient Egyptians, wouldn't we see some sort of continuation or evidence of it elsewhere in Africa? I mean, we keep uncovering new discoveries every day in Egypt, but we don't see that same level of historical greatness replicated anywhere else in Africa. No offense intended, but let's talk DNA. Those mummies have been studied, and guess what? They ain't showing any black genes. Our Egyptian genes line up with theirs. How is it possible that someone could piece together such an incredible history, then bounce and settle elsewhere in Africa. And seriously, if they did make a run for it, why in the world would they choose to live in mud houses? 😂! My ancestors were all about that bling-bling with their fancy dresses, adorning themselves with gold jewlery and gemstones like lapis lazuli, turquoise, and carnelian. My ancestors knew how to shine and make a fashion statement with their dazzling accessories. Their furniture, chairs, and beds, often featured gilded details, including gold plating or gold paint 💎✨💃🏻👑👸🏻, all classy and stylish. Meanwhile, your ancestors, bless their hearts, were just strutting around unclothed or rocking some animal teeth as their fashion statement and living in mud houses. The bottom line is, it's pretty wild when you consider it all. If those ancient imaginary black Egyptians really did move on and settle elsewhere and we’re just invaders, as the delusional Afrocentric maniacs claim , you'd think we'd come across another set of magnificent pyramids or at least some clear remnants of this remarkable civilization. But nope, it's only in Egypt. We, the Egyptians don't mind or consider skin color or race. Egyptians enjoys a diverse complexion of skin colors. Anyone interested in the ancient Egyptian history knows that there were dark colored dynasties that ruled Egypt at a point of time (Nubian or Cush people, the rulers of Cush overran Upper Egypt (mid-8th cent. B.C.) as far as Thebes. And still the Nubians are very dear part of the Egyptians. But what's really irritates us, is the relentless attempts to falsify and hijacking our history and our civilization !!!! Such as the mythical claims of the Israelites as if they were the builders of our great pyramids, and now this Afrocentric thing, claiming that our civilization was theirs.....as if we the Egyptians do not deserve it....?!!!! Blackwashing & Whitewashing is an American stupid debate. Keep it away from our civilization….. Back off stupids.…
@@CyrussNP please quote where he said that they were black. He called them Melanchroes, not Aethiops. Yes there are many middle easterners with wooly hair. Look at Mo Salah
In an odd way, this controversy is a good thing, as it is making modern Egyptians more aware of their past, and making it a more cogent part of their national identity as Egyptians .
@@AkinAkinThank you for laying down a clear template of terms and ideas. Many people get caught up in the overlapping verbiage and definitions. Your definition of regional 'Ethiopia' and your term 'colony of Ethiopia' are good for clarity. People tend to get lost in the subtleties and draw erroneous conclusions in general because their basic navigation is flawed and full of misconceptions to begin with.
Thanks for the video. Jealousy is what got the noses destroyed on so many of the ancient Egyptian artifacts. There is so much overwhelming proof on this topic that I don’t understand why it’s still debatable.
Scientific racism. Throughout history no one argued on what color the Egyptians were. Not until scientific racism was invented during the transatlantic slave trade. To dehumanize black people they attempted to erase their history.
So true! All the Great monuments they like to stand by taking pictures and claim as their history, were already built when they (europeans and arabs invaded Kmt). They couldnt Never begin to understand how and why those temples were built!

Another sub Saharan who is willing to promote black Egypt bs. What's the shock? It would be more surprising if this guy wasn't a fraud. He's suffering from cognitive dissonance and delusions of grandeur, what else is new
I read a book, called the dark Continent. I can't think of his name now, but he wrote in his book, that when the white men, first went to AFRICA, but it was not called Africa at that time, he said, every where that they went to, that they saw no one but different BLACK PEOPLE, DIFFERENT NATIONS OF BLACK, they were shocked. so shocked that named it the DARK CONTINENT, because all they, saw was BLACK PEOPLE,. This was before, it was named AFRICA.I read about this, in 1956, and i could never find that book after that time.Through out the years, i have not been able to find. any of his books, someone took my book, so i am unable to reveal his name.I don't know what happened to him. I thought that i would share this information.
*summary of the video* The video discusses the historical and physical characteristics of ancient Egyptians, emphasizing their similarities with Ethiopians. It references Herodotus, a Greek historian who described Egyptians as dark-skinned with woolly hair, mirroring the appearance of Ethiopians. The speaker also mentions various Greek historians who noted these similarities. Key points include: 1. Diversity of Ancient Egypt: The civilization was not homogenous; it comprised diverse ethnic groups due to migrations and settlements along the Nile, influenced by environments and survival needs. 2. Historical Accounts: The video highlights the importance of ancient texts and records by historians like Dr. Sheikh Anta Diop, who discussed Egypt's cultural ties to East and West Africa. 3. Physical Evidence: It notes the vandalism of Egyptian statues, particularly the noses, which raises questions about their representation over time. The speaker suggests that this damage might be linked to political conflicts and preservation efforts. 4. Cultural Context: Ancient Egyptian society was shaped by various influences and invasions over centuries, including Nubians, Greeks, and Arabs. This blending of cultures has led to the diversity seen in modern Egypt. 5. Egypt's African Identity: The video argues for Egypt's classification as part of African history, challenging narratives that separate it from the continent. It asserts that the foundations of Egyptian civilization are fundamentally African. 6. Contemporary Discussions: The speaker critiques modern interpretations that attempt to depict ancient Egyptians as non-Africans, stressing the importance of acknowledging their African heritage and contributions to world culture. Overall, the video presents a case for recognizing the deep-rooted African identity of ancient Egyptians and counters prevailing misconceptions about their ethnicity.
One of the downfalls of Africa I think and this is also a reference to homestead, we lost most of our knowledge holders. Our historians. So much so that what little we remembered or was simple enough to be remembered was past down in an unofficial, decentralized way. Realising our error in failing to protect our knowledge banks and orders in charge of these sacred knowledge it only makes people like you seem more precious. Keep it up Akin
@@mdhbhWe don’t call them black , we call the Nubians!! It is rude and ignorant to classify any Egyptian by the color of their skin !! Be mindful when you talk to people outside the USA ..
Not one single black African population was ever indigenous anywhere outside of subsaharan Africa. The Cushitic, Ethiosemitic and North Omotic populations have around 70% west Eurasian dna . They are mixed people. That’s why many Ethiopians look like south Egyptians.

OMG, an interweb scholar who not only presents unbiased information, but actually hits every information nail on the head. Well done. Consider me subscribed.
I would suggest before making a video on this subject you learn your subject first. The Egyptian military is as old as the proto-dynastic period. There is the *Hunters Palette* for example depicting hunters armed with bows, spears, cudgels, in addition to the *Battlefield Palette* depicting the first conflict between Egypt and it's western neighbors. The *Narmer Palette* is symbolic of the first unification of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt: Narmer unified Egypt in 2950 B.C. according to scholars, this was after a long period of conflict between the first three major Egyptian rival provinces, those being Abydos(Abtu), Hierakonpolis(Nekhen) and Thinis(Tjenu). The foundation of the Egyptian nation is rooted in warfare! There is evidence from the Old and Middle Kingdom that earliest Egyptian soldiers were armed with daggers, spears, bows & arrows and axes, which over the span of three thousand years were the primary weapons used by Egyptian soldiers. Examples of this are seen on the fragments of Khufu's mortuary complex, and the funerary stair causeway of Unas. Snefru was one of the first pharaohs to lead a military campaign into a foreign country, that being Sudan. Thutmose III is known as one of the greatest conquerors of ancient Egypt, known as the Egyptian Napoleon for a reason. Kamose is the pharaoh responsible for defeating the Hyksos during the 17th dynasty pushing them back to Avaris, Ahmose son of Ibana also played a crucial role in the Hyksos expulsion from Egypt. Seti I is depicted slaughtering Libyans on the temple at Luxor. Ramsesses II defeated and fought the Hyksos at the battle of Kadesh in 1274 BC, where he decisively defeated the Hittites in the largest chariot battle ever recorded in antiquity for control over the Ammuru valley to control the trade routes to Syria, fighting with a force of 22,000 soldiers: estimates based on the 4000 infantry, 1000 charioteers and 500 charioteers divided into four divisions, namely the Set, Ra, Amen and Ptah divisions with a mercenary force called the *"Na'arn"* made up of Libyans, Canaanites and Cushites. In the Old Kingdom untrained young men were recruited on an _ad hoc_ basis to serve in the army, but that was superseded by the First Intermediate period when small professional armies were established under the leadership of local governors, which by the Middle Kingdom made up the nucleus of the national Egyptian army. The Egyptians were also triumphant in naval warfare, during the reign of Ramsesses III, the Sea Peoples who brought the Bronze Age(1175 BC) to an end, and were defeated by Ramsesses III, Egypt doesn't collapse for another 106 years beginning the Later Period(664-332) when the Assyrians, Persians and Greeks conquered Egypt at a considerably late period, which basically dismisses your claim Egypt was a hodge-podge of different cultures. There is no way a civilization which lasted 3000 years could have survived without a national army. 😂
The ancient Egyptians told us what color They were with 10s of thousands of artifacts. I'm only mentioning this because the arguments & debates are ludicrous. Adam & Eve were black. Life began in Africa & people spread out around the world & developed racial differences. Africans traveled out of Africa and went into the Caucasus mountains, became neanderthals & then the white race. There was no diversity in Africa that long ago. It was different black ethnicities. No magical debatable olive, brown or white skin. Controversy comes when lies are introduced mostly be Europeans.
1- Egyptian history, unfortunately, lies in the middle of intersections, some of which are racist, some religious, and some cultural. 2- Egyptian history is specifically targeted for a reason that is not hidden from anyone, which is the greatness of the Egyptian civilizational achievement to the extent that there is no human race on the face of the earth that did not try to attribute to itself the merit of this achievement among Sumerians, Yemenites, Arabs, Amazighs, Shawam, Europeans, black Africans, and even some Indians claimed that they are the origin of This civilization. 3- Egypt is not the only country that was subjected to the rule of foreigners for long periods of time. Greece itself ruled for 2000 years by the Persians, Romans and Turks. Even the great Rome was invaded by Germanic tribes in the fifth century AD and changed its demographic composition completely and forever. 4- The foreign rule of Egypt has never been a settlement occupation. For example, Egypt ruled throughout the Roman era with only three military legions, each legion not exceeding 15,000 thousand soldiers who were replaced periodically every two years. 5- Those who ruled Egypt from the outsiders did not rule Egypt alone. The Greeks, for example, ruled the entire ancient world, including Persia, the Romans ruled all the peoples of the Mediterranean, and the Muslim Arabs ruled the region extending from China in the east to the Atlantic Ocean and Spain in the west. It is inconceivable that this occupying power was able to change the residential structure of all these peoples. 6- Egypt throughout history was one of the most densely populated places. Historical sources say that the population of Pharaonic Egypt was 7 million people, and this is a huge number by the standards of this era, and this huge census was able to swallow and dissolve any arrival so that no trace of it appears. 7- Ethnic purity does not exist on earth. However, Egypt is one of the most homogeneous societies. 8- Civilization is not a biological concept, but it is in its origin a cultural concept, meaning that the Egyptians did not build their civilization with their genes, but rather built it with their culture.
They did give regards to race; the book of gates of Ramses iii and Seti 1st. Aswell as in the tomb of Kheruf advisor of Queen Tiye they divide the known races of man, each time the Egyptians and othe Africans (Nubians?) are depicted in the same manner/hue. The Papyrus of Hunefer, The Autobiography of Weni, the Lamentations of Ipuwer let us know how firmly African in identity they felt.
I enjoy the model in which you chose to present your thoughts on the video. I will also encourage everyone to dig deep and do as much research as possible on ancient Egypt, don't only lament the fact that you think they were black, and study the history and, most times, even read works from people who have a bias towards you assume they know something that you don't learn about Egypt the culture the origins it's Gods even though they will for no reason try to press their opinions that Egypt was separate from the continent and its people.
We must remember that ANCIENT EGYPT began 40,000 years ago. That is written in the Egyptian King list and the Pyramids & Sphinx are the testament. Anytime we speak of Egypt in the European terms of 5000 years we are telling their HIStory. 🙏🏿👏🏾
I had always tot the idea of Mesopotamia is a bigger city was wrong, There are many more truths buried in Niger & Nigeria which are older...like iron works...who taught them.
@@olarenwajufalusi4979 Exactly, and also remember that “Mesopotamia” is in North Africa and that is the Land of Nimrod who is the Grandson of HAM and son of Cush the Kings of Sudan/Nubia/Uganda because the Kingdom of Kush started in South Africa (Uganda) and stretched to Egypt. 🙏🏿👏🏾
yeah but still... not matter... 40.000 years? the oldest pyramid is 4630 years old...! we even can talking about cavemans who lived in egypt -_- and yes the europeans 5000 years and their history... the oldest pyramid still 4630 yo you cant speak more older egypt! you even cant talking about sudan before prehistoric times... you CANT! why? because the oldest pyramid is just 4630 years old and it is the european terms of 5000 years egypt and their HIStory... so you are debunked you are not egyptian... egyptians are egyptians not black americans...
@daniele.3361 Says you Europeans who invaded & LIED. They were Ancient when the Greeks arrived 2500 years ago. I trust my Ancient Ancestors NOT Caucasoid Liars. 🤥
Thank you Akin Akin... Funny how the European and Arab Egyptologists are trying so hard to remove or deny the nubian origin of ancient Egypt... But the evidence is there even in the tombs. To be honest, we should pay zero attention to what they have to say and tell our own history and teach our children. Love your work Akin Akin... 😘😘
You're academic frauds. Dna science conclusively debunked black Egypt nonsense many long years ago. No one is trying to hide Egyptian history other than black people who want to erase genuine history and pretend Egypt was black. Only afrocentric occult extremist groups teach such nonsense.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr Part 1 of 4 If anyone is fraudulent, it is those who came to a black African continent and claimed its civilisation was built by aliens and not the original inhabitants of the continent. Those widely accepted lies and falsification of African history stop right here! Afterall, there's broad scientific consensus that humanity started in Africa and then people moved out to populate the rest of the world. Even the first British was dark skinned.... So how dare you claim that Egypt, which is in Africa did not start of as a black civilisation? Which DNA testing are you referring to? You mean the false and flawed tests, carried out by biased European or American scientists, using selected samples that are not representative of all of ancient Egypt and doesn't cover the 1000s of years that the Egyptian dynasties spanned? Besides, earlier tests, which pointed to a black Egypt were not publicised... We all know Egyptians intermarried and Egypt was invaded and conquered many times so there's likely to have been genetic diversity over time but it started as a black civilisation, populated by people who migrated from the horn of Africa.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr part 2 of 4 Also this notion that ancient Egyptians had European DNA is the most ridiculous thing I have heard. Who cane first ? Africans or Europeans? The scientific consensus is that modern humans all descend from an African women. So in fact, it is Europeans that have African DNA coursing through their veins. Africa is the most genetically diverse continent and every human being including yourself has African DNA running through them.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr part 3 of 4 Besides, Ancient Egypt shared similar culture, writing, etc with other powerful nubian nilotic kingdoms like ancient Nubia(Meroe) present day Sudan, and aksum( present day Ethiopia ). Infact, the origin of writing was Nubia, not Egypt. So Egypt wasn't the only civilisation in Africa. Ancient Greeks, Romans, etc often referred to all Africans as Ethiopians and Egyptians were sometimes described as such, as well. Go across east, west or southern Africa, there were great civilisations and kingdoms throughout african history, long before Europe became civilised. As for Arabs, they invaded north Africa long after the event around 640 AD so they have no claim whatsoever even though they are also trying their best to falsify African history. Why are you so desperate to appropriate someone else's history? What did ancient Greeks who met the Egyptians describe them as? The ancient Greeks like Heroditus, who met the Egyptians described them as dark skinned with woolly hair.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr part 4 of 4 I would challenge Eurocentric or arab historians to produce just one Greek writer, Hittite, Assyrian, Sumerian, Babylonian, or Cypriot writer that described the Egyptians as anything other than dark with wooly hair. In the absence of at least one such writer, we must conclude that there is no early written evidence to justify for constant white washing of the indigneous Ancient Egyptians and the wilful effort to ignore the words of early Greek visitors to Egypt. And what do the paintings in the Egyptian tombs themselves reveal? That they people who were different shades of brown and black like present day sub saharan Africa. As an African, I have no more time at all for the falsified European or Arab version of African history. I trust the evidence left by our African ancestors and the research done by brillant African minds like Cheikh Anta Diop, who won this debate at UNESCO
The real life paintings on the walls, Ancient Egyptian writing on papyrus and the sculptures of Gold/stone of these Ancient Pharaohs in their tombs will tell you the colour/color of each Pharaohs or Ancient Egyptians Queen, it is as if those Ancient Egyptians knew that future invaders were going to change history, with lies and guessing even now in the 21st century of deniers. It were the Assyrians invasion period, Persian period in Ancient Egypt, the Alexander the Great invasion, the Ptolemy period and then the Roman invasion period is when the black, brown Pharaohs, Kings and Queens colour/color were changed to caramel colours/colors due to rape, pillage and inter marriage and all the Ancient Egyptians knowledge were stolen. Tutankhamun came 1000 to 2000 years before all these invasion mentioned and these are the facts. 🇬🇧

Egypt started off as a simple farming community after the flood. The first pharaoh was a merchant named "Pharaoh" who wasn't well received by the farmers. So he used some clever tricks to win the population over. So impressed were they with his cleverness that they made him king and called every king after him, "pharaoh". This history can be read in the books of Jashar and Jubellees.
I'm an Egyptian and I can tell you for fact that what you are saying is totally wrong. The meaning of the word Pharaoh in ancient Egyptian language means the big house or the great house and it was used to reference the royal palace, and the ruler of Egypt was only called the Pharaoh in the new kingdom (starting from the 18th dynasty).

@Werq Zeleke your in denia, in spite of Cush's ancient glorious history, like a lot of black African tribes all over Africa, Cush created independent ancient civilizations but during their cultural regression, Cush became victims of Arab slavery, before the Somalis converted to Islam!
@@werqzeleke2815 I know my geography and the Horn Africans, that I mentioned, resided in the East region of Africa called East Africa; even though the ancient Cush tribes were strong and had old civilizations so did the West Africans; for example, there were advanced civilizations in West Africa during b.c. time periods, such as the b.c. civilization called Dortichget located in the Chade region of West Africa and this advanced b.c. civilization created advance sewage systems, large urban housing setups that had the capacity to accommodate over 20, 000 inhabitants at one time but just like the Horn black Africans, this West African civilization began to regress and then made it eventually easy for non black invasions from outside of Africa to impose themselves, such as in the form of black enslavement; remember, the Somalis were not always Muslims and during those periods, the light skinned Arabs did not hesitate to enslave Cush tribes and remember then there were no Bantus in proximity then but I realize that you Somalis refuse to read what many of your own ancient intelligence community documented in regard to your tribes` former enslavement and the Somalis current mistreatment at the hands of the current Arab communities; one positive feature of non black xenophobic behavior is that it does not give the Cush tribes or the Afro Semitic black speaking tribes preferential treatment or protection from racism: look what is currently going on with black Jews of Ethiopia residing in the state of Isreal for they are being racially mistreated simply based on their black African status but then these same Horn Africans believe that they are superior to other black Africans so the universe will never allow the blacks any protection, not until we learn how to have love and respect for the entire global black community!

@Akin Akin You are absolutely correct Glad I came upon your channel, your claim that the ancient Egyptians were African/Black is absolutely correct, and that there has been a extrene effort by whites and Arabs to hide and deny that fact. "European scholars sought to justify the enslavement of Africans based on theories of white racial superiority. The vast accomplishments of Ancient Egypt undermined these theories that regarded Africans as sub-human or intellectually inferior. AS a result, Western Egyptologists, scientists and intellectuals launched a widespread campaign to racialize the ancient Egyptians as white or Caucasian."

My goodness. I can play this video in the middle of Christmas dinner amongst all my family (diverse family btw) and I'll be the star of the show. This is beyond knowledge!
Everything he claims is easily debunked. He's a liar. That's why he promotes afrocentric pseudohistory revisionism. He's not an Egyptologist. We've had genome wide DNA results for the ancient Egyptians since 2017. That was the final nail in the coffin of "black Egypt". The Egyptians tested zero percent black and 100 percent Caucasian. That's an open and shut case.
Blacks have got to start studying dna results, and they need to become much more honest about ancient history, because most of them in 2021 prefer to be dishonest about history. As long as they are on a mission to promote easily debunked afrocentric pseudohistory revisionism, they will continue to be laughed at.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr whether you like it or not the cushites also known as the Nubians interbred and intermarried a lot with the Egyptians. As you know the Egyptians had a knack of getting himself conquered by every empire that came down the pipe. And there was a thing called the 25th Dynasty.

I think we as black people need to redefine our language, and an example of such is not calling Herodotus "The Father of History", he is "The Father of European History"! There's a big difference! As the oldest people on this planet, we shouldn't insult ourselves by calling a white man our father, the people who are infants on this planet compared to us. Also, Europeans/Arabs always ignore the Papyrus of Hunefer, where the Ancient Egyptians state their origins as, "We come from the beginning of the Nile.....". A quick Google search of where the Nile starts should tell anyone they are saying they come from inner Africa, not the Mediterranean/Middle East like white people and Arabs claim.
Some people may have had brown or light skin because of the totem animals in their bloodline such as the red haired rat. However, those same people may have had the ability to become as dark as the midnight sky because of their African DNA. I met someone from the Middle East. His skin did exactly that. He was light brown without the sun. When he had sun for a long time he turned midnight black.
I guess you are right here. I am white and live in Scotland. Not much sun and my skin's quite pale. I gather some sun and I look more like a person from let's say India. Seriously

Ancient Egypts basic foundations scream African culture, but when you consider how they even had access to the goods found only in interior Africa is a clue that they had close networking connections to Africa. No foreigner could just go into Africa back then, in fact outsiders didn't even know anything existed beyond the desert or they likely would have cut out the middle men.....which is what eventually happened as people got more exposure. When Egypt went down the door was wide open.
In the Old World (Africa, Europe, Asia), nowhere can you draw a line on the map and say that on one side of the line you have one race and on the other side you have another race. Race in the Old World is a continuum. People have been moving around and marrying their neighbours for thousands of years. You could walk from Southern Sudan, up the Nile, along the coast of the Levant, across Turkey, then through Europe all the way to Scandinavia, simply going from village to village, and you will barely notice any physical difference between the residents of neighbouring villages. The change is so gradual. This is why the whole argument about whether Egyptians are "White" or "Black" is so silly. They range from brown to beige and may be a bit lighter on the Mediterranean Coast than they are on the shores of Lake Nasser. Back before Egypt was united, there were two Egypts: lower Egypt and Upper Egypt. Upper Egypt was part of a cultural that existed all along the Nile, whereas Lower Egypt (the Nile Delta) was culturally closer to the Levant. They even spoke different languages and had different religions. It was the Upper Egyptians who conquered Lower Egypt and united the country, which is why the language and religion of the Nile Valley predominated over *all* of Egypt, including the custom of building pyramids.
I think that’s what you would like to believe but if you put your thinking cap on, you’ll see it differently like for what it really is. For example, in your comment you talk about how we could travel on foot from Southern Sudan to Scandinavia & the changes of peoples appearance & how “gradual” the change would be. & it’s like Duh. You’re walking !!! Of course the change is going to be gradual, that doesn’t make it non-existent, so what are you on about ??? Then you say, that because of this gradual change the argument of whether the Egyptians are white or black is silly !!! But 1) There is no argument about that because no one serious would argue that Egyptians were white 😭😭 rather Arabian and 2) How funny would you find it if from this day on history portrays Napoleon as a black man or Richard the Lionheart as a pitch black man or Nelson Mandela as a white man ????? It’s not silly to record history accurately. Furthermore, these ancient historians that are being cited in the video knew the implications of their records. If Egypt was a melting pot, that’s how they would have described it !! They didn’t !! They used words like dark, nubian, Ethiopian because they wanted to be intentional. Also, notice how you try to describe them in complexion as “beige to brown”, completely excluding black complexion altogether. Now, go google the color beige & tell me that don’t look like white skin. Now one thing Malcolm X taught me was to beware of the white ally. Because they come with smiles on their faces but have nefarious intentions. The beginning of your statement even though it sounded like bs to me immediately, would have sounded palatable to some less assuming African people. But by the middle of your paragraph you have completely written Europeans back into the historical conversation of Egypt ethnography & Africans out of it. The truth is that most of you are NO different from your ancestors whether they be from Europe or Asia.
Also, your mind clearly cant comprehend how ancient Egypt is because your conflating all of these different time periods. What are you on about different religions & languages ?? Egypt was not like America. Of course Egyptians would welcome others (which was more than likely it’s downfall & the reason that it was so vulnerable to eventual conquests) but there was always at any given time an official language & religion maybe all the way until Egypt was finally invaded & conquered.
@@ThePessimism OK racist, you wuzz not kangZ and stop using wyt man's language and white man's internet and white man's computer and phone. You're appropriating white culture.
@@ThePessimism Totally agree. They like to use words like silly or crazy to make the less intelligent believe they know what they’re talking about. They’re hoping the less informed people don’t go do their research. It’s wickedness behind their words and we have to be careful not to fall for it.
The Kushites were also called Ethiopians. The term Ethiopian comes from two Greek terms: Ethios 'burnt' and ops 'face', as a result Ethiopian means the 'burnt faces’. Herodotus and Homer, described these Ethiopians as "the most just of men; the favorites of the gods" (Hansberry, 1981). The classical literature makes it clear that the region from Egypt to India was called by the name Ethiopia. The Greco-Roman writers made it clear that there were two Kushite empires one in Asia and the other group in the area we call the Sudan (Hansberry, 1981). The Greek writer Homer alluded to the two Kushite empires, when he wrote "a race divided, whom the sloping rays; the rising and the setting sun surveys". The Greek and Eurasia traveler/historian Herodotus claimed that he derived this information from the Egyptians.
As you may know, Africans identify by ethnicities not by countries which were drawn by colonisers. There is one ethnicity found in Ivory Coast and Ghana that is from Egypt and used to be a part of that multi-people society you speak about, that ethnicity is part of a group of ethnicities called the #Akans ... like Akon but with two As 😂 How do you recognise them? They are pitch Masaï style black. Not Nigerian, not Senegalese but darker so dark their skin reflects light and appears shiny! And they have all the same face it seems, the same way you look very #Yoruba from Nigeria. From Dad to son, no matter who the mother is, they look their ethnicity. Furthermore in one other language part of the same group of ethnicities, the word "Amon" as in Tut Ankh Amon means God. Coincidence? No. I don't think so.
The finally clue to link Egypt to African is in the hieroglyphics and we also mock a form of how they might of dance then but in all African spirituality dancing is a MAJOR role in spirituality This is in most hieroglyphics paying homage the same way as the Afro hairs was depicted that we don’t see here on the western side.

I am an Egyptian and I would like to comment on this matter. There are many people in the world who do not know the geographical nature of Egypt. Egypt is located in the continent of Africa, and the largest part in the continent of Asia is the city of Port Fouad, the city of Ismailia, and the Sinai Peninsula. They are located in the continent of Asia and their area is larger than the area of the rest of Egypt and you and I To Africa because of the Nile River, because it is the cause of life in Egypt, so there is diversity in the skin of the Egyptians. There were kings for the ancient Egyptian state, kings of black skin, and kings of white skinned people, and the Egyptians did not have racism or discrimination between black people and white people, this racism It is an invention of the West
the Sinai Peninsula is literally still apart of Africa, so is Canaan (Palestine) so is all the countries up until Phoenicia. Most of the so called middle east is actually Africa.
I always wonder why I could see stuff people can't see or find I tend to see future events unfolding before they happen death happing before they happen dreams and codes to the world given to me in my dreams and while awake I revive many messages everyday from the otherside I know what someone is thinking and what there next move is going to be before it happens I can feel bad energy behind a smile I can feel everybody's energy around me I am very sensitive to any spiritual motion I can feel negative energy when I pull into a parking lot and go right to the that person I can feel negative energy when I'm driving on the road when I'm driving nothing that's in my presence can escape me I feel everything from a smile to a frown and know everything about that person just by standing in front of me
I love history 😍 they are left hidden clues for us to discover and discuss with each other but you have to be real careful with history because you don't know how much to be true
Nice video very professional but I disagree with the ancient Egyptians being diverse mixture I believe they reddish brown of Cushitic descent not to be confused with Kush but like Somali Afar Beja
Mfundishi Jhutyms Hassan Salim is an Kmytologist! Look him up and you will learn about Ancient Kmt (egypt is the greek invaders name! Afrikans Never called their nation egypt). Kmt means "the Black Community," not the black soil like egyptologists (europeans) would have you believe); and the Afrikans who peopled Kmt were Kmytw which means "the Black people!" There is also Pro. Theopile Obenga from the DCR along with Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop who have proven that the Ancient Kmtyw were Afrikans, and showed the many similarities between the Mdw Ntchr language and other Afrikan languages! Kmt was the Product of Afrika, Her People and Her Culture!!
Lol its literally translated to the black land which refers to the black soil of the nile valley if u would bother to learn ancient Egyptian then u can translate it and know it yourself
Fantastic video... I think what should be considered is present day people who claim Egypt compared to the actual teachings... The teachings are of consciousness; which group of people does this not profile? The whole process of ascension is built around science AND consciousness... Not solely on science. If that were so and they were so brilliant, how is it that everything currupt is what fills the history today. Nothing absolutely nothing of those who claim Egyptian history reflects there thinking today. Racism, colonization, and the destruction of groups of people, land, nature, waterways, and cultures actually believe this was them? How many actual African languages were used to desiphor the glyphs? Not many African languages because it would prove that they relate. The glyphs also we're special occasion writings, but isn't amazing that no one seeks to know what standard language was spoken? I can almost bet those of the surrounding regions Prior to invasion, such as Igbo, Hausa, Ethiopian languages, and on and on. And during that time without the power crazed mentality, of today, wouldn't it make sense that concentration of everyday living of people had more to do with fostering relationships with the gods, paying homage during crop seasons, rituals to the ancestors, and the art of learning though the gods (basically a more spiritual based people) through worship. Yet, today what they were doing is still as fresh as their constant invasion of yesterday. At the end of the day, it won't be the person or soul holding the artifacts or the claim, the truth will show in spirit and find their rightful descendants when that time presents itself... Your job is simply to know your truth and know who you are... Souls don't die people do. The souls know who you are to them.

why is it so hard for people to understand that an ancient people living in the Mediterranean would be of a mixed race. Even the depictions in their art have people of widely varying skin tones. there were Nubian Egyptian pharaohs, as well as dynasties of Pharaohs that descended for people from the Levant and from Anatolia. with the Nile Delta being such a huge centralized shipping port, It has been a mixing place for all of the cultures at genomes for thousands of years. there is no one answer for if the Egyptians were black or white or brown because they were all of those colors
KAMAU is a Kenyan surname, from the Kikuyu community. According to Chancellor William's The destruction of African civilization the name Kamau means child of Kemet.
Africans should not defend themselves on this issue. Let them push their narratives. What we need to do is rewrite our school books and university literature giving our children the opportunity to learn their real history. I think we have enough history professors who can champion this cause. This is how you elevate the pride of our children and their children. We should also be brutally honest about the atrocities our leaders caused since ancient times. This will allow our children to recognise when they are faced with racism, corruption and prejudice.

Sudan was known in its ancient history by several names such as Taseti, Tanhasu and Ethiopia, but among the most famous and most comprehensive is the name of Kush ( KUSH ). 😊😊😊😊😊😊

I was talking with my tour guide from Harar, Ethiopia. He stated the reason why there is 80+ ethnicities is a result of populations fleeing from Egypt during subsequent occupations.

*King Narmer, often recognized as a pivotal figure in ancient Egyptian history, is believed to have been of African descent, reflecting the diverse population of ancient Egypt. Here's a revised description emphasizing his African identity:*
Description of King Narmer
1. Ethnic Background: King Narmer was a black African, consistent with the majority of the population in ancient Egypt. The people of that era would have exhibited a range of skin tones, likely including darker complexions typical of Africans, possibly with variations due to environmental and genetic factors.
2. Artistic Representations: In the Narmer Palette and other artistic depictions, Narmer is shown wearing the crown of Upper Egypt and is often portrayed with strong, idealized physical features. These representations typically emphasize broad shoulders and a powerful physique, characteristics that were celebrated in ancient Egyptian art to depict strength and divinity.
3. Cultural Context: As a ruler from a civilization that was fundamentally African, Narmer's identity would have been intertwined with the rich cultural heritage of the Nile Valley. His leadership marked the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt, establishing a significant African civilization.
4. Vandalism of Statues: The defacement of statues, particularly the cutting off of noses, is a notable point in the discussion of ancient Egyptian representations. This vandalism may reflect political motives or conflicts rather than racial intentions, but it serves as a reminder of the historical struggles faced by African societies throughout history.
Conclusion
King Narmer is a symbol of ancient African heritage and identity. His rule not only represents the unification of Egypt but also reflects the rich history and cultural significance of black Africans in shaping one of the world's earliest civilizations.
In my opinion I have to go with how the ancient Greeks, who saw the ancient Egyptians and Ethiopians face to face, described them to be. They never said anything about light skin. They said They were described as “black skinned men with wooly hair” Herodotus 5th Century A.D.. Herodotus states in passages that the Egyptians were black/dark. They were also described as burnt black just like the Ethiopians. I will rely on the people who were actually among them rather than someone who is from these present days. I mean, that's common sense.

This was before, it was named AFRICA.I read about this, in 1956, and i could never find that book after that time.Through out the years, i have not been able to find. any of his books, someone took my book, so i am unable to reveal his name.I don't know what happened to him. I thought that i would share this information.
*summary of the video*
The video discusses the historical and physical characteristics of ancient Egyptians, emphasizing their similarities with Ethiopians. It references Herodotus, a Greek historian who described Egyptians as dark-skinned with woolly hair, mirroring the appearance of Ethiopians. The speaker also mentions various Greek historians who noted these similarities.
Key points include:
1. Diversity of Ancient Egypt: The civilization was not homogenous; it comprised diverse ethnic groups due to migrations and settlements along the Nile, influenced by environments and survival needs.
2. Historical Accounts: The video highlights the importance of ancient texts and records by historians like Dr. Sheikh Anta Diop, who discussed Egypt's cultural ties to East and West Africa.
3. Physical Evidence: It notes the vandalism of Egyptian statues, particularly the noses, which raises questions about their representation over time. The speaker suggests that this damage might be linked to political conflicts and preservation efforts.
4. Cultural Context: Ancient Egyptian society was shaped by various influences and invasions over centuries, including Nubians, Greeks, and Arabs. This blending of cultures has led to the diversity seen in modern Egypt.
5. Egypt's African Identity: The video argues for Egypt's classification as part of African history, challenging narratives that separate it from the continent. It asserts that the foundations of Egyptian civilization are fundamentally African.
6. Contemporary Discussions: The speaker critiques modern interpretations that attempt to depict ancient Egyptians as non-Africans, stressing the importance of acknowledging their African heritage and contributions to world culture.
Overall, the video presents a case for recognizing the deep-rooted African identity of ancient Egyptians and counters prevailing misconceptions about their ethnicity.

Yes, Samburu are a great example. Also the Kalenjin, their languages hold a lot of evidence pointing to Egypt
@@peterzain5064 Samburu ,Zulu , Xhosa I love learning about the cultures.
I would suggest before making a video on this subject you learn your subject first.
The Egyptian military is as old as the proto-dynastic period.
There is the *Hunters Palette* for example depicting hunters armed with bows, spears, cudgels, in addition to the *Battlefield Palette* depicting the first conflict between Egypt and it's western neighbors.
The *Narmer Palette* is symbolic of the first unification of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt: Narmer unified Egypt in 2950 B.C. according to scholars, this was after a long period of conflict between the first three major Egyptian rival provinces, those being Abydos(Abtu), Hierakonpolis(Nekhen) and Thinis(Tjenu). The foundation of the Egyptian nation is rooted in warfare!
There is evidence from the Old and Middle Kingdom that earliest Egyptian soldiers were armed with daggers, spears, bows & arrows and axes, which over the span of three thousand years were the primary weapons used by Egyptian soldiers. Examples of this are seen on the fragments of Khufu's mortuary complex, and the funerary stair causeway of Unas.
Snefru was one of the first pharaohs to lead a military campaign into a foreign country, that being Sudan. Thutmose III is known as one of the greatest conquerors of ancient Egypt, known as the Egyptian Napoleon for a reason. Kamose is the pharaoh responsible for defeating the Hyksos during the 17th dynasty pushing them back to Avaris, Ahmose son of Ibana also played a crucial role in the Hyksos expulsion from Egypt. Seti I is depicted slaughtering Libyans on the temple at Luxor.
Ramsesses II defeated and fought the Hyksos at the battle of Kadesh in 1274 BC, where he decisively defeated the Hittites in the largest chariot battle ever recorded in antiquity for control over the Ammuru valley to control the trade routes to Syria, fighting with a force of 22,000 soldiers: estimates based on the 4000 infantry, 1000 charioteers and 500 charioteers divided into four divisions, namely the Set, Ra, Amen and Ptah divisions with a mercenary force called the *"Na'arn"* made up of Libyans, Canaanites and Cushites.
In the Old Kingdom untrained young men were recruited on an _ad hoc_ basis to serve in the army, but that was superseded by the First Intermediate period when small professional armies were established under the leadership of local governors, which by the Middle Kingdom made up the nucleus of the national Egyptian army.
The Egyptians were also triumphant in naval warfare, during the reign of Ramsesses III, the Sea Peoples who brought the Bronze Age(1175 BC) to an end, and were defeated by Ramsesses III, Egypt doesn't collapse for another 106 years beginning the Later Period(664-332) when the Assyrians, Persians and Greeks conquered Egypt at a considerably late period, which basically dismisses your claim Egypt was a hodge-podge of different cultures.
There is no way a civilization which lasted 3000 years could have survived without a national army.
😂
Always love yo content king.. keep it going ..
Always suprised on the views tho ..but i shldnt be given the amazing knowledge covered
The ancient Egyptians told us what color They were with 10s of thousands of artifacts. I'm only mentioning this because the arguments & debates are ludicrous. Adam & Eve were black. Life began in Africa & people spread out around the world & developed racial differences. Africans traveled out of Africa and went into the Caucasus mountains, became neanderthals & then the white race. There was no diversity in Africa that long ago. It was different black ethnicities. No magical debatable olive, brown or white skin. Controversy comes when lies are introduced mostly be Europeans.
Not only that Caucasian descendants from Neanderthals Russia caves. They did not descend from Africans black peoples
DNA has never been needed to establish what colour the ancient Egyptians were, the hieroglyphics and the relics say it all.
Love this video. great video & well balance 🙏🏿
1- Egyptian history, unfortunately, lies in the middle of intersections, some of which are racist, some religious, and some cultural.
2- Egyptian history is specifically targeted for a reason that is not hidden from anyone, which is the greatness of the Egyptian civilizational achievement to the extent that there is no human race on the face of the earth that did not try to attribute to itself the merit of this achievement among Sumerians, Yemenites, Arabs, Amazighs, Shawam, Europeans, black Africans, and even some Indians claimed that they are the origin of This civilization.
3- Egypt is not the only country that was subjected to the rule of foreigners for long periods of time. Greece itself ruled for 2000 years by the Persians, Romans and Turks. Even the great Rome was invaded by Germanic tribes in the fifth century AD and changed its demographic composition completely and forever.
4- The foreign rule of Egypt has never been a settlement occupation. For example, Egypt ruled throughout the Roman era with only three military legions, each legion not exceeding 15,000 thousand soldiers who were replaced periodically every two years.
5- Those who ruled Egypt from the outsiders did not rule Egypt alone. The Greeks, for example, ruled the entire ancient world, including Persia, the Romans ruled all the peoples of the Mediterranean, and the Muslim Arabs ruled the region extending from China in the east to the Atlantic Ocean and Spain in the west. It is inconceivable that this occupying power was able to change the residential structure of all these peoples.
6- Egypt throughout history was one of the most densely populated places. Historical sources say that the population of Pharaonic Egypt was 7 million people, and this is a huge number by the standards of this era, and this huge census was able to swallow and dissolve any arrival so that no trace of it appears.
7- Ethnic purity does not exist on earth. However, Egypt is one of the most homogeneous societies.
8- Civilization is not a biological concept, but it is in its origin a cultural concept, meaning that the Egyptians did not build their civilization with their genes, but rather built it with their culture.
They did give regards to race; the book of gates of Ramses iii and Seti 1st. Aswell as in the tomb of Kheruf advisor of Queen Tiye they divide the known races of man, each time the Egyptians and othe Africans (Nubians?) are depicted in the same manner/hue. The Papyrus of Hunefer, The Autobiography of Weni, the Lamentations of Ipuwer let us know how firmly African in identity they felt.
Don't forget the Edfu texts and the prophecy of Neferti

Thank you so much brother. I is always a pleasure having you around
I enjoy the model in which you chose to present your thoughts on the video. I will also encourage everyone to dig deep and do as much research as possible on ancient Egypt, don't only lament the fact that you think they were black, and study the history and, most times, even read works from people who have a bias towards you assume they know something that you don't learn about Egypt the culture the origins it's Gods even though they will for no reason try to press their opinions that Egypt was separate from the continent and its people.
or maybe your lumping of all native africans under the term black is black supremacy and by exyension imperialism.
We must remember that ANCIENT EGYPT began 40,000 years ago. That is written in the Egyptian King list and the Pyramids & Sphinx are the testament. Anytime we speak of Egypt in the European terms of 5000 years we are telling their HIStory. 🙏🏿👏🏾
I had always tot the idea of Mesopotamia is a bigger city was wrong, There are many more truths buried in Niger & Nigeria which are older...like iron works...who taught them.
@@olarenwajufalusi4979 Exactly, and also remember that “Mesopotamia” is in North Africa and that is the Land of Nimrod who is the Grandson of HAM and son of Cush the Kings of Sudan/Nubia/Uganda because the Kingdom of Kush started in South Africa (Uganda) and stretched to Egypt. 🙏🏿👏🏾
yeah but still... not matter... 40.000 years? the oldest pyramid is 4630 years old...!
we even can talking about cavemans who lived in egypt -_-
and yes the europeans 5000 years and their history... the oldest pyramid still 4630 yo
you cant speak more older egypt! you even cant talking about sudan before prehistoric times...
you CANT! why? because the oldest pyramid is just 4630 years old and it is the european terms of 5000 years egypt and their HIStory...

the point is every pyramid is outmatching with their lies.... -_- egypt was never black and every historical evidences say this

@daniele.3361 Says you Europeans who invaded & LIED. They were Ancient when the Greeks arrived 2500 years ago. I trust my Ancient Ancestors NOT Caucasoid Liars. 🤥
Thank you Akin Akin... Funny how the European and Arab Egyptologists are trying so hard to remove or deny the nubian origin of ancient Egypt... But the evidence is there even in the tombs.
To be honest, we should pay zero attention to what they have to say and tell our own history and teach our children.
Love your work Akin Akin... 😘😘
You're academic frauds. Dna science conclusively debunked black Egypt nonsense many long years ago. No one is trying to hide Egyptian history other than black people who want to erase genuine history and pretend Egypt was black. Only afrocentric occult extremist groups teach such nonsense.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr Part 1 of 4 If anyone is fraudulent, it is those who came to a black African continent and claimed its civilisation was built by aliens and not the original inhabitants of the continent. Those widely accepted lies and falsification of African history stop right here!
Afterall, there's broad scientific consensus that humanity started in Africa and then people moved out to populate the rest of the world. Even the first British was dark skinned.... So how dare you claim that Egypt, which is in Africa did not start of as a black civilisation?
Which DNA testing are you referring to? You mean the false and flawed tests, carried out by biased European or American scientists, using selected samples that are not representative of all of ancient Egypt and doesn't cover the 1000s of years that the Egyptian dynasties spanned?
Besides, earlier tests, which pointed to a black Egypt were not publicised...
We all know Egyptians intermarried and Egypt was invaded and conquered many times so there's likely to have been genetic diversity over time but it started as a black civilisation, populated by people who migrated from the horn of Africa.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr part 2 of 4 Also this notion that ancient Egyptians had European DNA is the most ridiculous thing I have heard. Who cane first ? Africans or Europeans?
The scientific consensus is that modern humans all descend from an African women. So in fact, it is Europeans that have African DNA coursing through their veins.
Africa is the most genetically diverse continent and every human being including yourself has African DNA running through them.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr part 3 of 4 Besides, Ancient Egypt shared similar culture, writing, etc with other powerful nubian nilotic kingdoms like ancient Nubia(Meroe) present day Sudan, and aksum( present day Ethiopia ). Infact, the origin of writing was Nubia, not Egypt.
So Egypt wasn't the only civilisation in Africa. Ancient Greeks, Romans, etc often referred to all Africans as Ethiopians and Egyptians were sometimes described as such, as well.
Go across east, west or southern Africa, there were great civilisations and kingdoms throughout african history, long before Europe became civilised.
As for Arabs, they invaded north Africa long after the event around 640 AD so they have no claim whatsoever even though they are also trying their best to falsify African history.
Why are you so desperate to appropriate someone else's history?
What did ancient Greeks who met the Egyptians describe them as?
The ancient Greeks like Heroditus, who met the Egyptians described them as dark skinned with woolly hair.
@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr part 4 of 4 I would challenge Eurocentric or arab historians to produce just one Greek writer, Hittite, Assyrian, Sumerian, Babylonian, or Cypriot writer that described the Egyptians as anything other than dark with wooly hair. In the absence of at least one such writer, we must conclude that there is no early written evidence to justify for constant white washing of the indigneous Ancient Egyptians and the wilful effort to ignore the words of early Greek visitors to Egypt.
And what do the paintings in the Egyptian tombs themselves reveal? That they people who were different shades of brown and black like present day sub saharan Africa.
As an African, I have no more time at all for the falsified European or Arab version of African history. I trust the evidence left by our African ancestors and the research done by brillant African minds like Cheikh Anta Diop, who won this debate at UNESCO
Race is not a social construct. Racism is! Race is defined by phenotype primarily.
The real life paintings on the walls, Ancient Egyptian writing on papyrus and the sculptures of Gold/stone of these Ancient Pharaohs in their tombs will tell you the colour/color of each Pharaohs or Ancient Egyptians Queen, it is as if those Ancient Egyptians knew that future invaders were going to change history, with lies and guessing even now in the 21st century of deniers.
It were the Assyrians invasion period, Persian period in Ancient Egypt, the Alexander the Great invasion, the Ptolemy period and then the Roman invasion period is when the black, brown Pharaohs, Kings and Queens colour/color were changed to caramel colours/colors due to rape, pillage and inter marriage and all the Ancient Egyptians knowledge were stolen. Tutankhamun came 1000 to 2000 years before all these invasion mentioned and these are the facts. 🇬🇧

Egypt started off as a simple farming community after the flood. The first pharaoh was a merchant named "Pharaoh" who wasn't well received by the farmers. So he used some clever tricks to win the population over. So impressed were they with his cleverness that they made him king and called every king after him, "pharaoh".
This history can be read in the books of Jashar and Jubellees.
Dude cut it out. Pharoah is a Greek word. The egyptian word for Pharoah was per-a-a or pero.
I'm an Egyptian and I can tell you for fact that what you are saying is totally wrong. The meaning of the word Pharaoh in ancient Egyptian language means the big house or the great house and it was used to reference the royal palace, and the ruler of Egypt was only called the Pharaoh in the new kingdom (starting from the 18th dynasty).

@Werq Zeleke your in denia, in spite of Cush's ancient glorious history, like a lot of black African tribes all over Africa, Cush created independent ancient civilizations but during their cultural regression, Cush became victims of Arab slavery, before the Somalis converted to Islam!
@@werqzeleke2815 I know my geography and the Horn Africans, that I mentioned, resided in the East region of Africa called East Africa; even though the ancient Cush tribes were strong and had old civilizations so did the West Africans; for example, there were advanced civilizations in West Africa during b.c. time periods, such as the b.c. civilization called Dortichget located in the Chade region of West Africa and this advanced b.c. civilization created advance sewage systems, large urban housing setups that had the capacity to accommodate over 20, 000 inhabitants at one time but just like the Horn black Africans, this West African civilization began to regress and then made it eventually easy for non black invasions from outside of Africa to impose themselves, such as in the form of black enslavement; remember, the Somalis were not always Muslims and during those periods, the light skinned Arabs did not hesitate to enslave Cush tribes and remember then there were no Bantus in proximity then but I realize that you Somalis refuse to read what many of your own ancient intelligence community documented in regard to your tribes` former enslavement and the Somalis current mistreatment at the hands of the current Arab communities; one positive feature of non black xenophobic behavior is that it does not give the Cush tribes or the Afro Semitic black speaking tribes preferential treatment or protection from racism: look what is currently going on with black Jews of Ethiopia residing in the state of Isreal for they are being racially mistreated simply based on their black African status but then these same Horn Africans believe that they are superior to other black Africans so the universe will never allow the blacks any protection, not until we learn how to have love and respect for the entire global black community!
After visiting Egypt my guide told me the nose was hit because that was where they would hold the ankh to give them life , so if the nose was destroyed they couldn’t receive ankh …… has anyone heard this before?

@Akin Akin You are absolutely correct
Glad I came upon your channel, your claim that the ancient Egyptians were African/Black is absolutely correct, and that there has been a extrene effort by whites and Arabs to hide and deny that fact.
"European scholars sought to justify the enslavement of Africans based on theories of white racial superiority. The vast accomplishments of Ancient Egypt undermined these theories that regarded Africans as sub-human or intellectually inferior. AS a result, Western Egyptologists, scientists and intellectuals launched a widespread campaign to racialize the ancient Egyptians as white or Caucasian."

Everything he claims is easily debunked. He's a liar. That's why he promotes afrocentric pseudohistory revisionism. He's not an Egyptologist. We've had genome wide DNA results for the ancient Egyptians since 2017. That was the final nail in the coffin of "black Egypt". The Egyptians tested zero percent black and 100 percent Caucasian. That's an open and shut case.
Blacks have got to start studying dna results, and they need to become much more honest about ancient history, because most of them in 2021 prefer to be dishonest about history.

I think we as black people need to redefine our language, and an example of such is not calling Herodotus "The Father of History", he is "The Father of European History"! There's a big difference! As the oldest people on this planet, we shouldn't insult ourselves by calling a white man our father, the people who are infants on this planet compared to us. Also, Europeans/Arabs always ignore the Papyrus of Hunefer, where the Ancient Egyptians state their origins as, "We come from the beginning of the Nile.....". A quick Google search of where the Nile starts should tell anyone they are saying they come from inner Africa, not the Mediterranean/Middle East like white people and Arabs claim.
Modern Egyptians are the descendants of the ancient Egyptians DNA said that
Lool Arabs or Nubian Egyptians?
And that dna got debunked multiple times over.
Modern Egyptians not the descendants of Mizraim and his Melanated father Ham.
The so called Modern Egyptians are the descendants of Shem or Ismael.
I enjoyed the video and presentation style, but Where was the DNA evidence suggested in he title?
Some people may have had brown or light skin because of the totem animals in their bloodline such as the red haired rat. However, those same people may have had the ability to become as dark as the midnight sky because of their African DNA. I met someone from the Middle East. His skin did exactly that. He was light brown without the sun. When he had sun for a long time he turned midnight black.
I guess you are right here. I am white and live in Scotland. Not much sun and my skin's quite pale. I gather some sun and I look more like a person from let's say India. Seriously
All black people's skin does that
Honestly I don't know why modern day egyptians continue this argument. As if history doesn't speak for itself already.
Yes Kemet was "Diverse" with different groups of Black Africans.
The civilization came from the South not the East.
And definitely not Turkey or Greece
Just found you today. Watching with a friend, so I turned to my pal and was like; he's like HomeTeam history if Hometeam history appeared in front of the screen...and then you give credit to hometeam history. Nice. I've subscribed.
BEAUTIFUL presentation......I was taught that Egypt was an extension of Aethiopia. As a matter of fact the whole world was Aethiopia
You got it right
... especially Africa is Ethiopia
Ancient Egypts basic foundations scream African culture, but when you consider how they even had access to the goods found only in interior Africa is a clue that they had close networking connections to Africa. No foreigner could just go into Africa back then, in fact outsiders didn't even know anything existed beyond the desert or they likely would have cut out the middle men.....which is what eventually happened as people got more exposure. When Egypt went down the door was wide open.
In the Old World (Africa, Europe, Asia), nowhere can you draw a line on the map and say that on one side of the line you have one race and on the other side you have another race. Race in the Old World is a continuum. People have been moving around and marrying their neighbours for thousands of years. You could walk from Southern Sudan, up the Nile, along the coast of the Levant, across Turkey, then through Europe all the way to Scandinavia, simply going from village to village, and you will barely notice any physical difference between the residents of neighbouring villages. The change is so gradual. This is why the whole argument about whether Egyptians are "White" or "Black" is so silly. They range from brown to beige and may be a bit lighter on the Mediterranean Coast than they are on the shores of Lake Nasser. Back before Egypt was united, there were two Egypts: lower Egypt and Upper Egypt. Upper Egypt was part of a cultural that existed all along the Nile, whereas Lower Egypt (the Nile Delta) was culturally closer to the Levant. They even spoke different languages and had different religions. It was the Upper Egyptians who conquered Lower Egypt and united the country, which is why the language and religion of the Nile Valley predominated over *all* of Egypt, including the custom of building pyramids.
I think that’s what you would like to believe but if you put your thinking cap on, you’ll see it differently like for what it really is.
For example, in your comment you talk about how we could travel on foot from Southern Sudan to Scandinavia & the changes of peoples appearance & how “gradual” the change would be. & it’s like Duh. You’re walking !!! Of course the change is going to be gradual, that doesn’t make it non-existent, so what are you on about ???
Then you say, that because of this gradual change the argument of whether the Egyptians are white or black is silly !!! But 1) There is no argument about that because no one serious would argue that Egyptians were white 😭😭 rather Arabian and 2) How funny would you find it if from this day on history portrays Napoleon as a black man or Richard the Lionheart as a pitch black man or Nelson Mandela as a white man ????? It’s not silly to record history accurately.
Furthermore, these ancient historians that are being cited in the video knew the implications of their records. If Egypt was a melting pot, that’s how they would have described it !! They didn’t !! They used words like dark, nubian, Ethiopian because they wanted to be intentional.
Also, notice how you try to describe them in complexion as “beige to brown”, completely excluding black complexion altogether. Now, go google the color beige & tell me that don’t look like white skin.
Now one thing Malcolm X taught me was to beware of the white ally. Because they come with smiles on their faces but have nefarious intentions.
The beginning of your statement even though it sounded like bs to me immediately, would have sounded palatable to some less assuming African people. But by the middle of your paragraph you have completely written Europeans back into the historical conversation of Egypt ethnography & Africans out of it. The truth is that most of you are NO different from your ancestors whether they be from Europe or Asia.
Also, your mind clearly cant comprehend how ancient Egypt is because your conflating all of these different time periods. What are you on about different religions & languages ?? Egypt was not like America. Of course Egyptians would welcome others (which was more than likely it’s downfall & the reason that it was so vulnerable to eventual conquests) but there was always at any given time an official language & religion maybe all the way until Egypt was finally invaded & conquered.
@@ThePessimism OK racist, you wuzz not kangZ and stop using wyt man's language and white man's internet and white man's computer and phone. You're appropriating white culture.

The Kushites were also called Ethiopians. The term Ethiopian comes from two Greek terms: Ethios 'burnt' and ops 'face', as a result Ethiopian means the 'burnt faces’. Herodotus and Homer, described these Ethiopians as "the most just of men; the favorites of the gods" (Hansberry, 1981). The classical literature makes it clear that the region from Egypt to India was called by the name Ethiopia.
The Greco-Roman writers made it clear that there were two Kushite empires one in Asia and the other group in the area we call the Sudan (Hansberry, 1981). The Greek writer Homer alluded to the two Kushite empires, when he wrote "a race divided, whom the sloping rays; the rising and the setting sun surveys". The Greek and Eurasia traveler/historian Herodotus claimed that he derived this information from the Egyptians.
As you may know, Africans identify by ethnicities not by countries which were drawn by colonisers. There is one ethnicity found in Ivory Coast and Ghana that is from Egypt and used to be a part of that multi-people society you speak about, that ethnicity is part of a group of ethnicities called the #Akans ... like Akon but with two As 😂 How do you recognise them? They are pitch Masaï style black. Not Nigerian, not Senegalese but darker so dark their skin reflects light and appears shiny! And they have all the same face it seems, the same way you look very #Yoruba from Nigeria. From Dad to son, no matter who the mother is, they look their ethnicity. Furthermore in one other language part of the same group of ethnicities, the word "Amon" as in Tut Ankh Amon means God. Coincidence? No. I don't think so.
Another thing worth mentioning is that some baoule statues have the same "false beard" design as we see Egyptian Pharaohs donning.
@@thevisitor1012 the baoules were exiled from Egypt after the death of young pharaoh Tut Ankh Amon. Tut Ankh means "long live".
The finally clue to link Egypt to African is in the hieroglyphics and we also mock a form of how they might of dance then but in all African spirituality dancing is a MAJOR role in spirituality This is in most hieroglyphics paying homage the same way as the Afro hairs was depicted that we don’t see here on the western side.

I am an Egyptian and I would like to comment on this matter. There are many people in the world who do not know the geographical nature of Egypt. Egypt is located in the continent of Africa, and the largest part in the continent of Asia is the city of Port Fouad, the city of Ismailia, and the Sinai Peninsula. They are located in the continent of Asia and their area is larger than the area of the rest of Egypt and you and I To Africa because of the Nile River, because it is the cause of life in Egypt, so there is diversity in the skin of the Egyptians. There were kings for the ancient Egyptian state, kings of black skin, and kings of white skinned people, and the Egyptians did not have racism or discrimination between black people and white people, this racism It is an invention of the West
the Sinai Peninsula is literally still apart of Africa, so is Canaan (Palestine) so is all the countries up until Phoenicia. Most of the so called middle east is actually Africa.

I always wonder why I could see stuff people can't see or find I tend to see future events unfolding before they happen death happing before they happen dreams and codes to the world given to me in my dreams and while awake I revive many messages everyday from the otherside I know what someone is thinking and what there next move is going to be before it happens I can feel bad energy behind a smile I can feel everybody's energy around me I am very sensitive to any spiritual motion I can feel negative energy when I pull into a parking lot and go right to the that person I can feel negative energy when I'm driving on the road when I'm driving nothing that's in my presence can escape me I feel everything from a smile to a frown and know everything about that person just by standing in front of me
Im dont mean to be rude but sitting on the floor in a space suit doesn't help with your credability
What a crash dummy you are, that’s not a space suit. You can always tell when someone hasn’t traveled.
ThAnk You Brother We need this kind of True Teaching.
I love history 😍 they are left hidden clues for us to discover and discuss with each other but you have to be real careful with history because you don't know how much to be true
Great job
Nice video very professional but I disagree with the ancient Egyptians being diverse mixture I believe they reddish brown of Cushitic descent not to be confused with Kush but like Somali Afar Beja
U are wrong blackness was not found only in nubia.there is blackness outside if africa.can u explain tht.
The Turks too had their grip on Egypt.
Mfundishi Jhutyms Hassan Salim is an Kmytologist! Look him up and you will learn about Ancient Kmt (egypt is the greek invaders name! Afrikans Never called their nation egypt). Kmt means "the Black Community," not the black soil like egyptologists (europeans) would have you believe); and the Afrikans who peopled Kmt were Kmytw which means "the Black people!"
There is also Pro. Theopile Obenga from the DCR along with Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop who have proven that the Ancient Kmtyw were Afrikans, and showed the many similarities between the Mdw Ntchr language and other Afrikan languages! Kmt was the Product of Afrika, Her People and Her Culture!!
No > name > Miss> Râ > Missra >>> son of thé Râ > sun
Go speak about your win country. like Senegal which is thousands of miles away rather than Egypt! You are not only but hallucinating!
Lol its literally translated to the black land which refers to the black soil of the nile valley if u would bother to learn ancient Egyptian then u can translate it and know it yourself
Wait, you mean Neanderthals didn't build ancient kemet.
They was black the old, middle, new kingdom was all Black!!!
Fantastic video... I think what should be considered is present day people who claim Egypt compared to the actual teachings...
The teachings are of consciousness; which group of people does this not profile?
The whole process of ascension is built around science AND consciousness...
Not solely on science.
If that were so and they were so brilliant, how is it that everything currupt is what fills the history today.
Nothing absolutely nothing of those who claim Egyptian history reflects there thinking today.
Racism, colonization, and the destruction of groups of people, land, nature, waterways, and cultures actually believe this was them?
How many actual African languages were used to desiphor the glyphs?
Not many African languages because it would prove that they relate.
The glyphs also we're special occasion writings, but isn't amazing that no one seeks to know what standard language was spoken?
I can almost bet those of the surrounding regions
Prior to invasion, such as Igbo, Hausa, Ethiopian languages, and on and on.
And during that time without the power crazed mentality, of today, wouldn't it make sense that concentration of everyday living of people had more to do with fostering relationships with the gods, paying homage during crop seasons, rituals to the ancestors, and the art of learning though the gods (basically a more spiritual based people) through worship.
Yet, today what they were doing is still as fresh as their constant invasion of yesterday.
At the end of the day, it won't be the person or soul holding the artifacts or the claim, the truth will show in spirit and find their rightful descendants when that time presents itself...
Your job is simply to know your truth and know who you are...
Souls don't die people do.
The souls know who you are to them.
Somali language is the language spoken by ancient Egyptians full stop.
Pharrell and Pharaohs have a lot in common. Pharaoh's were well traveled people who mixed with people of many lands.
I am here
Bro u can't use the term "Ethiopian" Ethiopians can be from many backgrounds with different languages and cultures.
Fr they’re crying about racism and still doing the same thing,. denying the place the ancient Egyptians called ta netjer(Punt) or their homeland present day Somalia 85% of worlds frankincense is grown their this guy is definitely a Christian making a new history 😂
WARNING >> CLICK BAIT VIDEO,
DNA NOT DISCUSSED AT ALL
Cuz they wass Kangz n shiiett in their heartz 😂😂 No need for sciencez n shiiett
dude it had militarly campains before hyksos. egyptian had army before narmer and after narmer.
I love you bro ❗💯
Lov it , man keep going
Of course Egypt is Africa, it’s literally located there
And this whole situation of wether it was black or whit means nothing to any one outside of Egypt because you don’t live here
Egypt is very much diverse and still is , modern day Egypt have every skin color possible just like it did centuries ago
No one is denying that there was black Pharos because they existed and till now there are black Egyptians
Even in my family there are darker skinned people
It’s as easy as “ upper Egypt contains darker skinned people and it goes lighter going north …
It’s not about color it’s about indigenous African societies making Egypts greatest achievements
But people are denying it. That's why there was so much backlash when Kevin Hart said what he said.
Some people probably going to think I'm crazy but if I was to show you it would make you look crazy
Please stop calling Heroditous "the father of History".. How could he became that after everything our ancestors let behind on the walls of KEMET??!
PLUS we don't neet them to tell us who we are, after all they all helped to distroy and still destroying our continent until today.
Great video and thank you.
Yeah, the Heroditous shit threw me off thank you for mentioning it
Your voice is everything 💎💎💎 great work, sir.
why is it so hard for people to understand that an ancient people living in the Mediterranean would be of a mixed race. Even the depictions in their art have people of widely varying skin tones. there were Nubian Egyptian pharaohs, as well as dynasties of Pharaohs that descended for people from the Levant and from Anatolia. with the Nile Delta being such a huge centralized shipping port, It has been a mixing place for all of the cultures at genomes for thousands of years. there is no one answer for if the Egyptians were black or white or brown because they were all of those colors
KAMAU is a Kenyan surname, from the Kikuyu community. According to Chancellor William's The destruction of African civilization the name Kamau means child of Kemet.
Africans should not defend themselves on this issue. Let them push their narratives. What we need to do is rewrite our school books and university literature giving our children the opportunity to learn their real history. I think we have enough history professors who can champion this cause. This is how you elevate the pride of our children and their children. We should also be brutally honest about the atrocities our leaders caused since ancient times. This will allow our children to recognise when they are faced with racism, corruption and prejudice.
About the so-called Afrocentric claim of a black ancient Egyptian civilization..??!!! is it a black crusade now???!!!! or, is it another promised land myth….!!!!!!
What do the Afrocentric maniacs think of this....!!!! does it look like the huts they lived in.... Looool ..... The tomb of king Ramses IV some 3100 yrs. ago. Valley of the kings, Luxor, Egypt.
If subsaharan Africans truly are the descendants of ancient Egyptians, wouldn't we see some sort of continuation or evidence of it elsewhere in Africa? I mean, we keep uncovering new discoveries every day in Egypt, but we don't see that same level of historical greatness replicated anywhere else in Africa.
No offense intended, but let's talk DNA. Those mummies have been studied, and guess what? They ain't showing any black genes. Our Egyptian genes line up with theirs. How is it possible that someone could piece together such an incredible history, then bounce and settle elsewhere in Africa. And seriously, if they did make a run for it, why in the world would they choose to live in mud houses? 😂! My ancestors were all about that bling-bling with their fancy dresses, adorning themselves with gold jewlery and gemstones like lapis lazuli, turquoise, and carnelian. My ancestors knew how to shine and make a fashion statement with their dazzling accessories. Their furniture, chairs, and beds, often featured gilded details, including gold plating or gold paint 💎✨💃🏻👑👸🏻, all classy and stylish. Meanwhile, your ancestors, bless their hearts, were just strutting around unclothed or rocking some animal teeth as their fashion statement and living in mud houses.
The bottom line is, it's pretty wild when you consider it all. If those ancient imaginary black Egyptians really did move on and settle elsewhere and we’re just invaders, as the delusional Afrocentric maniacs claim , you'd think we'd come across another set of magnificent pyramids or at least some clear remnants of this remarkable civilization. But nope, it's only in Egypt.
We, the Egyptians don't mind or consider skin color or race. Egyptians enjoys a diverse complexion of skin colors. Anyone interested in the ancient Egyptian history knows that there were dark colored dynasties that ruled Egypt at a point of time (Nubian or Cush people, the rulers of Cush overran Upper Egypt (mid-8th cent. B.C.) as far as Thebes. And still the Nubians are very dear part of the Egyptians. But what's really irritates us, is the relentless attempts to falsify and hijacking our history and our civilization !!!! Such as the mythical claims of the Israelites as if they were the builders of our great pyramids, and now this Afrocentric thing, claiming that our civilization was theirs.....as if we the Egyptians do not deserve it....?!!!! Blackwashing & Whitewashing is an American stupid debate. Keep it away from our civilization….. Back off stupids.…
Thank you, God bless!
