      Afrika Never had a pharoah!!! Afrika never had a "country" especially at that time!! Afrika never named any of its nation egypt, which is a greek name, especially since the greeks were nowhere around at that time!! You'll need to stop lying and attempting to insert yourselves where it is very obvious you didn't and don't belong! Spend time researching or "discovering," yurugu in the caves and mountains of the caucasus!!!!

    I never really cared about the this period of Egypt, it was all crude speculation to me, then I learned about the Narmer Palette and it hit me..this is literally the dawn of history...before this we were looking at archaelogical sites and making educated guesses based on what we saw, and suddenly, we have this piece of rock where the Egyptians themselves are trying to tell us what was happening, using names and symbols that we could read...WOW!

    Upper Egypt did not become more powerful than Lower Egypt because of trade with Mesopotamia. Upper Egypt became more powerful than Lower Egypt because it was where the majority of nomadic shepherds came from the south and west as the rains diminished year by year in the Sahara turning savannah in to desert. Because of that, Upper Egypt had a much higher population than Lower Egypt and a bigger army. Southern Egypt has always been the heartland of Egypt. Each time Egypt rose in the Old , Middle and New Kingdom it was a Theban prince that conquered the north.

      You are absolutely correct. History should be told as it was. And as it was *Egyptians are largely the same group of people they were during ancient times* .
      Don't believe me? *Argue with academics then* :
      In 2008, S. O. Y. Keita wrote that "There is no scientific reason to believe that the primary ancestors of the Egyptian population emerged and evolved outside of northeast Africa.... The basic overall genetic profile of the modern population is consistent with the diversity of ancient populations that would have been indigenous to northeastern Africa and subject to the range of evolutionary influences over time, although researchers vary in the details of their explanations of those influences."[38]
      Stuart Tyson Smith writes in the 2001 Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt that "Any characterization of race of the ancient Egyptians depends on modern cultural definitions, not on scientific study. Thus, by modern American standards it is reasonable to characterize the Egyptians as 'black', while acknowledging the scientific evidence for the physical diversity of Africans."[39]
      In his We Can't Go Home Again: An Argument About Afrocentrism, historian Clarence E. Walker writes that Black Americans who claim Egypt was a black civilization and the progenitor of Western civilization have created a "therapeutic mythology", but they aren't talking about history.[40]
      Kemp argues that the black/white argument, though politically understandable, is an oversimplification that hinders an appropriate evaluation of the scientific data on the ancient Egyptians since it does not take into consideration the difficulty in ascertaining complexion from skeletal remains. It also ignores the fact that Africa is inhabited by many other populations besides Bantu-related ("Negroid") groups. He asserts that in reconstructions of life in ancient Egypt, modern Egyptians would therefore be the most logical and closest approximation to the ancient Egyptians.[41]
      A study by published in 2017 described the extraction and analysis of DNA from 151 mummified ancient Egyptian individuals, whose remains were recovered from Abusir el-Meleq in the Cairo Governate. The scientists said that obtaining well-preserved, uncontaminated DNA from mummies has been a problem for the field and that these samples provided "the first reliable data set obtained from ancient Egyptians using high-throughput DNA sequencing methods". The study showed that Ancient Egyptians had the greatest affinity for modern Middle Eastern (Arab, Levantine and Anatolian) populations, and had significantly more affinity with southeastern Europeans than with sub-Saharan Africans. Nevertheless, there was a small sub-Saharan African component in the ancestry of the three mummies tested: "absolute estimates of African ancestry using these two methods in the three ancient individuals range from 6 to 15%." This level of sub-Saharan African ancestry is significantly lower than that of modern Egyptians from Abusir, who "range from 14 to 21%."[15] furthermore, "Genetic continuity between ancient and modern Egyptians cannot be ruled out despite this sub-Saharan African influx, while continuity with modern Ethiopians is not supported".[42]
      The authors of the study cautioned that the samples from the mummies, which were taken from a region that (while technically part of Middle Egypt) is geographically in the far north of Egypt, may not be representative of Ancient Egypt as a whole. Contemporary genetic studies show much greater levels of sub-Saharan African ancestry in the current-day populations of southern as opposed to northern Egypt.[16]
      Professor Stephen Quirke, an Egyptologist at University College London, expressed caution about the researchers’ broader claims, saying that “There has been this very strong attempt throughout the history of Egyptology to disassociate ancient Egyptians from the modern population.” He added that he was “particularly suspicious of any statement that may have the unintended consequences of asserting - yet again from a northern European or North American perspective - that there’s a discontinuity there [between ancient and modern Egyptians]".[43]
      National Geographic reported in their reference populations for their genographical DNA study showed that 68% of modern-day Egyptians are ethnically North African, with foreign invasions having little effect on the majority of modern Egyptians's genetics.[44] Other ethnic groups that rounded out modern Egyptians were from Southwest Asia and the Persian Gulf at 17%, Jewish diaspora at 4%, Asia Minor at 3%, Eastern Africa at 3%, and Southern Europe at 3%.[44]
      *If you read the above, you would notice that modern egypt is* _more_ *sub-saharan african today than it was in the past* .
      Look, I don't claim to be descendant of Mansa Moussa and other great West African civilization, don't claim to be descendants of Egypt in return.
      Anything else is just unhistoric nationalist nonsense that is ignorant of how history played out
