Notice there are NO trolls here. They are allergic to the truth and addicted to lies. This scholar is wonderful. I love this series, most interesting.

@@frankscott1708 TESTIFY!
THAT SAD NAZI TROLL HAS MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS AND HAS BEEN LURKING AND OBSESSING ON AFRICAN SITES FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITH THIS FILTH!
Yep
Real shit bro..they never show up when they see a white man saying it cause they can't claim Afrocentric..🤣🤣..
I appreciate his acknowledgement that black scholars have introduced these topics long ago but not well received by mainstream academia. Salute for his honest quest for knowledge with academic professionalism. 🎉
Who would know more then the African? Think about it🤔
C. Ehret is a real scholar who does not falsify or deny historical facts, thank you Sir.
He has it all wrong , he doesn’t know indo European aka cro magnons from Atlantis civilized the afrcian slave species. All wrong ..: smh when will these Zionist agendas end ?? The rise of Atlantis will happen soon !

Facts I have all the respect for Caucasian that not only agree but explain the racism that divided us because It's no limits to the Ignorance of those who oppress Herodotus was born in 484 BC and mentioned numerous times they were black & you have Europeans born in 1940-1950 saying he was a liar and there word is the truth
Some 3000+ years from now, people will be arguing that North America (especially USA and Canada) has always been European. There will be very little evidence of Native Americans if any. And they will be right to think so. No use arguing over Egypt, it's the same script.
And Michael Jackson was a white pop star in 1980 adopted by a black family who did learn how to dance Afro American dances better than black themselves ! ( data : in 3023 ).
The fact that we have the internet makes that extremely unlikely, unless there’s some kind of technological crash that causes future humans to regress back to the medieval times. The knowledge of the native Americans will be preserved, don’t worry.
This lecture series came right on time. He gave information on things I've been wanting to know for quite some time.
You mean a fringe scholar that contradicts the mainstream academic and recorded history.

My sentiments exactly! :)
I am from east Africa, Ethiopia, we have known that the ancient Egyptians were africans.
Never mind what the racists says, even if you provide them with evidence they will not accept it. Those who deny are Europeans of Germanic decent, like Americans, British, Germans etc. Their civilization started in the 14 century during the Renaissance, so they should be quite.
Lol as a sudanese this is true, one of them literally said sudan was ruled by Europe and and they are responsible for all the pyrimads in my country.
@@gracegg5485 🤣
@@gracegg5485 to them everything started in Europe. I dont one dude if he knew that the first university in Europe was in Spain salamaga, it was built by the moors when they ruled Spain. Lets just say it didn't go down to well.
@@gracegg5485 guess what? Kushites and their pyramids did not appear or had writing system only after Egypt ruled the area for 500 years, and no there never considered Egyptian nor they spoke the same language. The Kushite first writing system in Sub-Saharan Africa came 2500 years after Egypt's and the Near East"s and was based on Egyptian Hieroglyphics
European never claimed that ancinet Egyptians were Europeans. The claimed the obvious that they were Middle Easterner..
European racism in all honestly pales to black African racism. Eve y country in subsaharan have many rival ethnicities that hate each other. That's why Sub-Saharan witnessed more frequent genocide, ethnic cleansing and enslaving each other then any region in the world .Sub-Saharan African only come together when the claim something that have nothing at all to do with, whether ancient Egypt, Israelites, Moors and bizarrely even Greeks and Roman.
White supremists claim something that does not exist, but Afrocnetists claim what's not there.
So, turn the mirror around before accuse group of people with racism
@@amenrakwamehotepporchprima9307 first university in Europe was built around 13th century ce. The first buildings of Higher learning was built by the moors, the ruled Europe for 800 years. I know the biased media won't ever show that but the evidence is clearly their.
I would love to ask this man a thousand questions just sit and talk to this man would be a honor.
Well hello, snap!
@@Just2Julz LOL!
Chris was at the Cairo Symposium when Diop and Obenga challenged the Eurocentrist view of Ancient view.
Small group at an elite school. This information often does not reach the masses of people. That is why people in the US especially are so ignorant regarding Africa, Black and white alike.
"Even if the evidence were piled up high before their eyes, they wan't believe it." That is what cheikh Anta Diop said of those African elites who are living in denial of their own histroy. They find it hard to take in the fact that black people could invent things that the world, with all the technologies, is still struggling to understand. This one really blew my mind, a book by Henry T Aubin's The Rescue of Jerusalem: The Alliance of Hebrews and Africans in 701 BC. He is a white man. He pointed out some of anomalies in the bible.
That’s because it’s easy being ignorant and a lot of ignorant people love to keep it this way. Facts and evidence are to hard for them to digest.
18,000 BCE in Northern China? There were no Chinese people living there at that time. Those people were probably also Africans.
Probably true don't tell Kurimau or Dane Callaway,they may accuse you of aggravated Pan-Africanism ...
That’s true . The gene for white skin in Europeans is only 7000 years old so the gene for the yellow- ish skin color of East Asians can’t be much older
Those people would’ve been separated from Africa for tens of thousands of years by the time they discovered Iron.
@@myronsmith2114 in that sense everyone is African, because the human race began in Africa. Those people would’ve been separated from Africa for tens of thousands of years by the time they discovered Iron. Dark skin doesn’t make you African. European hunter gatherers were dark skinned.
@@justlooking1087 Time is irrelevant . Facts do not change with the passage of our concept of time
This is beautiful scholarship and corroborates with the findings of our earlier teachers such as Cheick Anta Diop and the Zulu Poet, Mazisi Kunene.
The truth always comes out by God's avengers, and Ehret is surely a great avenger!
You really have to love this scholar he is so humble yet he has so much knowledge based on hands on experience and decades of scholarship.
Metallurgy. Africans were also in early India.
Ethiopians
@@JamesWilliams-ki5pq they are Africans
Stop trying to homogenize black people because Africa is a continent not a country if it had to do with the West you would specify german-swiss or Danish smarty pants all of us are not delusional
@@JamesWilliams-ki5pq they were brown Africans & stop trying to live off of Roman & Greek history that called you Europeans barbaric. So what does Europeans have to do with tat history? That they try to claim as their own
@@thefallofthewicked5865 like I said Ethiopian
Thank you! I so wish I had had such a brilliant encapsulation of this subject when I was young! :)
I truly respect his scholarship there is no need for falsification.
Starts at 30:00 for those who are wondering "wtf"
Despite the archeological evidence proving that sub-Saharan Africans were smelting iron that claim is it was impossible because the process of smelting iron is too complex.
It wasn’t too complex for them, given the fact that a lot of the artwork used iron were to create artwork, especially in West Africa. A practice that is still used by artists til this day.
So what happened to them?
@@ChampChamp2024 Africans were smelting iron before Europeans.
@@davefoss6201 lmao made up Bs, why can’t they build nothing now. Don’t even say cause of the west either. You live in fantasy everything being told it lies. To put blacks up on a pedestal.
I love this video at @37:22 Mr. Ehret asks "Why aren't we being taught this?" My answer: if you have to ask you haven't been paying attention, my friend.
the truth is that the ancient egyptians were agroup of nilo saharan africans the evidence is largely found in temple walls and the hieroglyphics like the original name of egypt which was kumat/kemet which means the land of honey,maat which means fire,isis or asis which is God in modern nilotic languages ,setat which is seti which means to invade,the p in psamtik,psusseness,pinadjem,ptah,piankhi which mirrors modern nilotic names like pyeko,pkorir,plimo,pkemoi more pharaonic names like nekau which is hellenized as necho which means frog in nilotic names, the 'che" in most ancient egytian names is very common today too which means ancient egypt and ancient sudan were the same people but the only divide that existed was language between the nilotic ancient egytians and the cushitic sudan but going by african ways of life there was an intense intermarriage that blurred the division that was only manifested vehemently only through language and afew cultural practices
Then whyt heir language isnt nilosaharan?
DNA analysis shows them an african/euasian mix from neolithic.
Hey Hutchins Center!
Many thanks from Kenya.
Is there any way that you could post the much referenced bibliographies of these lectures as pinned comments in the comments sections?
Or, include a link whereby one may access the bibliographies, texts referenced, etc.?

Mkale?
Thank you professor. Enlightening!
Please, please, please offer a link to the handouts. I would love to be able to see them as well.
Iron technology in India is as old as Africa and perhaps older than west asia
We do have evidence from multiple sites
the dravidians are very old and there superb culture is very old
ugh @1:43:40 that random guy explaining what the woman was asking instead of letting her do that herself
There was no "spread of ceramic technology from middle east (whatever that heck may be) to India"
Indian ceramic technology is quite older than "middle east"
We have evidence from Lahuradewa and Bhirrana that dates Indian ceramic technology to 8th and 7th millennium BCE that puts Indian ceramics as old as 10000 years or at the very least 9000 years and definitely shows Indian innovation is seperate because Indian ceramic technology is a bit older or at the very least as old as "middle eastern"
ceramic technology but DEFINITELY NOT DERIVED FROM "MIDDLE EAST" AND IT WAS INDEPENDENTLY DEVELOPED IN INDIA
I’m sorry, but he didn’t respond at all to the question before the last one. The question was about why north and sub Sahara Africa. ;)
The 4 thumbs downs gotta be trump supporters...
I'll bet u dimes to donuts 🍩...😆 lol
LoL 😂
@Taharquathegreat
We are not talking about an ethnic minority living in isolated Oasis or village. We are talking about native Egyptians who are at least 85% of the Egyptian population. That is as stupid as taking the DNA of gypsy of Romani people in France and Italy and generalize it on the whole European population.
L mtdna is common in subsahara Africa but rare n Egypt, period.
The biological affinities of the ancient Egyptians were tested against their neighbors and selected prehistoric groups as well as against samples representing the major geographic population clusters of the world. Two dozen craniofacial measurements were taken on each individual used. The raw measurements were converted into C scores and used to produce Euclidean distance dendrograms. The measurements were principally of adaptively trivial traits that display patterns of regional similarities based solely on genetic relationships. The Predynastic of Upper Egypt and the Late Dynastic of Lower Egypt are more closely related to each other than to any other population. As a whole, they show ties with the European Neolithic, North Africa, modern Europe, and, more remotely, India, but not at all with sub-Saharan Africa, eastern Asia, Oceania, or the New World. Adjacent people in the Nile valley show similarities in trivial traits in an unbroken series from the delta in the north southward through Nubia and all the way to Somalia at the equator. At the same time, the gradient in skin color and body proportions suggests long-term adaptive response to selective forces appropriate to the latitude where they occur. We conclude that the Egyptians have been in place since back in the Pleistocene and have been largely unaffected by either invasions or migrations. As others have noted, Egyptians are Egyptians, and they were so in the past as well. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 4:37

The first 25 minutes aren't especially persuasive. Could use a little more exposition, maybe.
It doesn’t have to be, since the evidence already exists.

"Africa in ancient times was a NET EXPORTER OF INNOVATIONS and I dont mean the Northern periphery of the continent. I mean well south, in Africa." Yeehahahahaha. HAHAHA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. OOOOWEEEEEEE.
First we need to find out the true meaning of Egypt, it language and who the people are. I can say ancient Egyptians are Nubians... pronounced as (ana ibo).. meaning The land of mediators who migrated to upper Egypt. (Egypt).. consonants..(g Y p t).. pronounced as... ago Ya, a pa atu .. meaning.. prays to God and advice from the Almighty GOD. The African origin of modern humans is presumed because of the presence of Mitochondrial Eve which is the main superhaplogroup L. The superhaplogroup L has major subclade: L0,L1,L2,L3,L4,L5 and L6 found in Sub-Saharan Africa..(Africa)..pronounced as (ofe ri aka)..(frk)..meaning (the place of ancient time). So the modern Egyptians can not be ancient Egyptians. through the genetic studies The ancient Egyptians have L1 gene. One reliable approach to tracing the origins of the Ancient Egyptians is through linguistics. There are important linguistic differences between hieroglyphics(Greek: "hieros".. meaning.. "sacred' and "glyph".. Meaning "Carving":.. Igbo Language...iho e ro, e gee olu ife a kaa,..meaning.. The things you think about, when you listen to the sounds.(phonemic clues) of the object mentioned) and English. So Ancients Egyptians are IGBOS that spoke IGBO language. So-called Hebrew language is also IGBO language. Hieroglyphics are written without vowel sounds (a,e,i,o,u) but only written sounds of consonants. This creates several ambiguities, which make it difficult, especially for non- indigenous speakers of Igbo language, from which the hieroglyphs and Hebrew scripts were derived. It also means that, sometimes western Egyptologists may not know for sure what a particular word sounded like, since they can only estimate (usually from the equivalent word in Coptic) what the sound may have been. Western Egyptologists tend to use the vowel "e", to fill in hieroglyphic. which would not the case in Igbo language, where there are many additional vowel sounds. The word Amun - Re was derived from letters.. (m n R" .. pronounced as .. oma Enu Orie, meaning High Temple of Almighty God"). the word Amen was derived from ("m n pronounced as "i meena" .. simply means "Thank you".)

To explain the Hieroglyph pictures presented or in Oblisk: Tail wing of flying animal- is pronounced as (odu nkuanu ufe)... Intersecting road- (ejikota ama)..Nightlight of half round moon- (okara ora Okirikiri onwa).. Mountain- shape scale- ikerike ugwu... The words are pronounced as.. odu a na-ako A nu ufu: e jekota Ama, a kaara Orie, e kirie ikiri anwa kere ike egwu...English translations: the adive you appeal to the perceiver of pains: go together to the church, narrate to the Almighty God, carefully examine the outstanding matters in the trials that are tough and terrifying.... To cut it short Hieroglyphics is an ancient Egyptian Igbo language. th-cam.com/video/b3-coVK-6JQ/w-d-xo.html.
First what is the meaning of the word ( Igbo ) is correctly written as i gbo meaning "to mediate" because they are a nation of consecrated priests to mediate between God and humanity. The Igbo language is the fundamental language of so- called Sudanic "kwa" language. However, The Igbo Empires would spread to Europe, Middle-East, Near and Far East as far as India, China, Japan and Mongolia to establish the great Oriental Civilizations. All these languages have a common root in Igbo language! Before they were called Igbos, they are called ( I zara Eli.) meaning you answered God.
The earliest civilization of ancient china in the second Millennium B.C, commenced with the the Black Igbo Africans of china ( Igbo language: Chi ana meaning God's land) ruling Dynasty under Emperor Yu ( Igbo language: Iyi, meaning "water"). before the communist revolution, the so called Emperor Yu was Emperor Iyi, meaning " Emperor of water". to this day, Chinese tradition claims that, the great Yu, was the regulator of the waters and the builder of canals. He also invented wet field agriculture. It is not contested by modern Chinese historians that, the Early Emperor of China were of African descent.
Woah thats some powerful stuff ur taking. Can i have some?
@@lordofmankind33 Feel free
Not an Egyptologist and has never been to Egypt. He is following the Afrocentrists narrative out of empathy for African Americans, but science is science and emotions and social niceties should not be involved and not on the account of the native Egyptians.
Lol
This man is a genuine scholar. He speaks facts. There is no need to falsify information to appeal African Americans that are at bottom of the socio-economic ladder. What has changed is the need to appeal to white racist and their false ideology of "White Supremacy". Nothing stays the same. The lies of yesterday was sure to be corrected by the truth of tomorrow.
Ehret has been to "Egypt" many times. Nobody pursues a difficult career presenting objective and unpopular truths due to "sympathy for African Americans". You are delusional. Science is indeed science, which is why Ehret's views are dismissed by Eurocentric/Arab-centric apologists out of hand, reflexively, without ever engaging the science that Ehret marshals.
@@frankscott1708 actually you and the Afrocentrist are the delusional. Sub-Saharan Africa were a hunter gatherer up until 500 B.C ( end of Bantu expansion) when Egypt and the near East had been a nation state or empires for 2600 years.
Also, modern and ancint Egyptian predomimatly carry DNA haplogroup E-V68 v12 and v22 which is rare in subsahara and more prominent in North Africa and Southern Mediterranean. There was never a significant affinity between Sub-Saharan and Egypt (and North Africa in general) linguistically, ethnically, culturally or historically.
@@moatazel-shafie3689 To be complete in your delusion, why not claim that the dynastic civilization was proto-Arab? I need a good laugh today as there have been no genetic studies that link the current "Egyptian" population to the population of Kemet pre-1100BC(end of Ramesu rule). You know this and it forms the crux of your anxiety. Many sub-Saharan populations from Asmara to Dakar are consistent linguistically, culturally and genetically with the range of the Nile Valley populations from early Qustul through Kerma to Kemet. Post 1100BC delta populations (which you call "ancient") indeed do represent significant genetic admixture that is nevertheless, still only partially ancestor to the contemporary West Asian "Arab" population claiming Pharaonic descent today. See the most recent genetic study on New Kingdom elites. Your baseless arrogance is getting stale. The weight of current science is not on your side. One wonders why a civilization that you and others claim to be West Asian, called themselves the most African of names (Ahmose, Mentu, Tiye, Tutu, Mossi, Ofori). These names are as common in sub-Saharan Africa as Ahmed in Arabia. Bizarrely, they also insisted on displaying African Kingship rites from the earliest times. Meanwhile their apparent brothers(much later) in West Asia bore names like Assher, Rab and Pal, which survive as eponyms in their traditions today, along with their characteristic Kingship traditions. Why make national totems of cheetahs and secretary birds( whose range was far south of Kemet) if the founders originated from the north; land of the ibis? There is no future in obfuscation. The march of objective a analyses from all quarters of inquiry will demolish the conceits of Egyptology and your cultural heritage.
