The word 'electricity' was derived from Igbo consonants; ('l k t r s t y') pronounced as (Igbo language: 'e lie oku itiri e si a ta uyo, meaning 'wired light from which darkness vanishes from the house'). The Ancient Igbo Egyptians were using Electricity as shown. A model of the Igbo electric battery system could be seen on the wall of the Temple in the Egyptian small city of Dendera, where there is a massive bas-relief with a strange pattern. it shows a fiery snake Echis coloratus (Igbo language object form: eke oku; subject expression: 'eke oku; meaning 'shines light') in a large glass container (Igbo object form: irom; subject expression: iro Ama, meaning 'the outside of church') from a flower (Igbo language object form: ifulu; subject expression: i fu ilu, meaning 'to see bitterness') on which stands the foot of a man. It is logical to presume that Ancient Igbo Egyptians used electricity lighting in the pyramids, burial places and their homes. Earlier findings suggest that this maybe the case. In the burial chamber of Tutankhamen archeologists saw the treasures of the untouched tomb, and also by the beautiful frescoes that adorned the walls. There was complete absence of traces of soot from torches on bright murals, which posed a logical question to investigators; on how the ancient artists illuminated their "workplace"? The Dendera electricity (Igbo language: 'e lie oku itiri e si a ta uyo, meaning 'wired light from which darkness vanishes from the house') illustrated with a device at the temple in Dendera is an Ancient Igbo Egyptian battery lighting system perhaps wirelessly powered with electromagnetic waves. The text of the Dendera Temple writing shows clear reference to illumination of the Cross of the Divine Light at the Temple using an eclectic device. The reference is both physical and spiritual illumination of the place. The use of the fiery snake as the object form of the electric bulb filament is because people were used to the fact of using them in their homes for lighting. Similar referenced was made in the Bible [Isaiah 14:29]. There is no doubt that the Ancient Igbo Egyptians used electricity in much the same way as we use it today.

*Flinders Petrie's views on race and human heritage were complex and often contradictory, reflecting the scientific misunderstandings and prejudices of his time. Here are some points to consider regarding his perspectives on North Africans and Iberians:* 1. Racial Theories of the Time: Petrie operated within a framework of racial theories that were prevalent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These theories often attempted to establish hierarchies among different races based on perceived intelligence and cultural achievements. While Petrie may have made connections between North Africans and Iberians, his interpretations were still influenced by the racist ideologies of his time. 2. Cultural Connections: Petrie's work focused on uncovering the historical and cultural connections between ancient civilisations. By linking North Africans with Iberians, he may have been attempting to highlight the interactions and exchanges that occurred over time, which contributed to the development of European cultures. This perspective is more about examining historical migrations and influences rather than endorsing a modern understanding of race. 3. Inconsistencies in Beliefs: It is essential to recognise that Petrie’s beliefs did not always align with contemporary understandings of ethnicity and race. His attempts to connect different populations can seem at odds with his eugenicist views. This inconsistency is reflective of the conflicting ideas present in his era's scientific discourse. 4. Legacy of Racism: Despite any connections he might have drawn between North Africans and Iberians, Petrie's overall legacy is marred by his racist beliefs, which shaped his interpretation of history and archaeology. The recognition of these beliefs is crucial in evaluating his contributions to the field. In summary, while Petrie may have identified links between North Africans and the Iberian populations that settled in Europe, this does not negate or excuse his broader racist views. His work needs to be understood within the context of the time, which was rife with misunderstandings about race and human diversity.

I don’t think Petrie’s views are entirely explained by the prevalent views of the time. Yes, scientific racism was having a moment. But Petrie was a pioneer of eugenics. He didn’t reflect an existing consensus that poor and undereducated people shouldn’t be allowed to have children, he actively believed and argued for that. We can’t erase that part of him and Egyptology sleeps in the bed he made.

*Summary of the Video on Flinders Petrie and His Legacy in Egyptology* Introduction The video discusses the complex legacy of William Matthew Flinders Petrie, a significant figure in Egyptology, while addressing his controversial views and contributions to archaeological practices. Flinders Petrie: A Pioneer in Archaeology - Innovative Practices: Petrie introduced several archaeological techniques, notably contextual seriation, which involves ordering samples chronologically to establish timelines in the absence of written records. - Comprehensive Excavation: He advocated for the careful excavation of sites, insisting on cataloguing all findings, no matter how insignificant they appeared. Controversial Views - Eugenicist Beliefs: The video highlights Petrie's deeply racist views and eugenicist beliefs regarding human intelligence, which are now considered outdated and unacceptable. - Historical Context: While acknowledging that such views were common in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the video does not excuse them. It argues for an honest assessment of Petrie’s work without idolisation. Contributions to Egyptology - Prolific Discoveries: Despite his controversial opinions, Petrie's work led to significant archaeological discoveries, making him one of the most prolific archaeologists of his time. - Petrie Museum: The museum named after him contains some of the oldest Egyptian artifacts and continues to contribute to the field through updated translations and research. Ethical Considerations - Acknowledging Flaws: The video stresses that while it is essential to recognise the beneficial aspects of Petrie's work, it is equally important to acknowledge his problematic legacy, which includes promoting harmful ideologies. - Historical Reflection: The speaker encourages viewers to look at history honestly, understanding that past figures can have both positive impacts and harmful beliefs. Conclusion - The video concludes by encouraging discussion about Petrie's legacy and its implications for current archaeological practices. The speaker invites viewers to engage with their platform through subscriptions and social media. Call to Action - Viewers are encouraged to share their thoughts on Petrie's career and consider supporting the channel through Patreon or joining the Discord community for further discussions.

ill tell you what is going on here because i happen to know the truth of this because i can understand the drawings and the poetry that it is written in because i am an artist, this is what happened. One of the peoples of Egypt at that time who dealt with snake poison for war purposes discovered it deteriorated the brass and copper pots they stored it in, they made multiple poison concoctions all being acids by nature, in one pot he dropped a led/ or copper object and was shocked when he went to pull it out. having discovered electricity he brought it to the Pharaoh as a gift, the Pharaoh seeing and understanding the discovery had the man killed on the spot. The Pharaoh then took in secret this technology and made a staff, that would illuminate at the end by sending electricity up the staff and through a specifically crafted hollowed out stone of clear silica (powered by the venom of a snake, the acid in the battery), much like an LED today but on a larger scale, the staff would illuminate when placed on a specific spot on the platform where he would consult the people of his city, he then played the role that he was a god who took the form of man and would show his power through the staff and this is how he created fear in his people and took command of vast numbers of people, he would have killed anyone who knew of the technology other than those in his immediate council and the technology was recorded in his private corridor in this temple for his future offspring to use. not only depicting what to say to take command but the diagram needed to demonstrate the power of the sun. so Egypt did not have electricity and light bulbs But.... one guy did.

We don’t actually know that ‘w’ was ever used as a vowel - that’s a bit of Latin (where v was both a consonant and a vowel) we use to aid pronunciation because hieroglyphs give us very little vowel information. Similarly with i/j - sometimes context is all we have, and making things pronounceable. Many transliteration systems in use these days will put a j or a y when they have good reason to believe it was a consonant, but for all we know it was always a consonant. It so happens that the European scholars who rediscovered the reading of hieroglyphs had heads filled with Greek and Latin, and made some assumptions.

"We have some things for your people" "Before the burning of the library of Alexandria, select ancient scrolls were taken in an attempt to save them. Egyptians took those ancient scrolls to the americas. Eventually a colony of egyptians made it to the grand canyon. At one point there was a meeting between the egyptians and my people. Those ancient scrolls were given to us to keep safe. We (sasquatch), took the scrolls to caves in nova Scotia, then later to caves in Ontario". Kamooh Elder sasquatch Voice heard February 2018 -- -- -- -- There is ongoing debate and controversy among historians and archaeologists about whether the ancient Egyptians visited the Americas before Columbus. There are some intriguing similarities and findings, such as the cocaine mummies and cultural parallels and G.E Kincaid's account. G.E. Kincaid is a controversial figure known for his claims of discovering ancient Egyptian artifacts in the Grand Canyon, Arizona, USA. In 1909, Kincaid, an amateur archaeologist and explorer, announced that he had discovered a series of ancient Egyptian tunnels and artifacts in the Grand Canyon, including a hidden chamber containing Egyptian relics and hieroglyphics. Kincaid's story remains a popular topic among enthusiasts of alternative history and conspiracy theories. In the 1990s, a German toxicologist named Svetlana Balabanova discovered traces of cocaine and nicotine in the hair samples of several ancient Egyptian mummies, including Ramses II and Hatshepsut. This finding was surprising, as cocaine is derived from the coca plant, which is native to South America, and it was believed to have been unknown in ancient Egypt. The discovery sparked debate among researchers, with some suggesting that there may have been trade routes or cultural exchange between ancient Egypt and the Americas. Regardless, the discovery remains a fascinating area of study, offering insights into the lives and practices of ancient cultures and the possibility of early global connections. Additionally, ancient Egyptian and South American cultures, such as the Mayan, Inca, and Aztec, share some fascinating similarities despite being geographically and chronologically distant. Here are some examples: 1. *Pyramid structures*: All four cultures built pyramid-like structures, often with ceremonial and religious significance. Egypt's pyramids are famous, while Mesoamerica has the Mayan pyramids, Inca's Sacsayhuamán, and Aztec's Templo Mayor. 2. *Solar worship*: Each culture revered the sun as a central deity or symbol, often associating it with life, fertility, and power. 3. *Calendars and astronomy*: All four cultures developed sophisticated calendars, tracking celestial movements, and identifying astronomical events like solar eclipses and planetary alignments. 4. *Human sacrifice*: Unfortunately, human sacrifice was practiced in all four cultures, often to appease gods, ensure fertility, or accompany important rituals. 5. *Mummification*: Egyptians are famous for mummifying their dead, but the Inca and Aztec also practiced mummification, albeit less extensively. 6. *Hierarchical societies*: Each culture had a strict social hierarchy, with rulers, nobles, and commoners, often with significant divisions between classes. 7. *Symbolic art and iconography*: Similar symbols and motifs appear in the art and iconography of these cultures, such as the use of serpents, eagles, and jaguars. 8. *Cosmological beliefs*: All four cultures believed in multiple realms or dimensions, often with a connection between the natural and spiritual worlds. 9. *Rituals and ceremonies*: Each culture had elaborate rituals and ceremonies to mark important events, like births, deaths, and agricultural cycles. 10. *Mathematical achievements*: The Egyptians, Mayans, Incas, and Aztecs all made significant contributions to mathematics, particularly in astronomy and architecture. G.E. Kincaid's account is not widely accepted as credible, and most experts consider it to be a hoax. The cocaine mummies have been explained by other factors, such as trade networks and contamination. The cultural similarities between ancient Egyptian and South American cultures have been attributed to independent development. Finding ancient Egyptian artifacts in the Americas would be a groundbreaking discovery, challenging our current understanding of history and cultural exchange. It would suggest that ancient Egyptians had contact or influence in the Americas, which would be a significant departure from the conventional narrative of ancient American civilizations developing in isolation. Such a discovery would raise questions about the extent of ancient Egyptian exploration and trade, and whether they had a presence in the Americas before Columbus. Additionally, it would also provide valuable insights into the cultural and technological exchange between ancient civilizations, and potentially shed light on the development of writing systems, architecture, and religious beliefs in the Americas. The discovery of ancient Egyptian artifacts in the Americas would be a testament to the ingenuity and seafaring abilities of ancient cultures, and would likely spark a significant reevaluation of our understanding of human history. If Sasquatch were found to be in possession of ancient egyptian scrolls, it would be a groundbreaking discovery with significant implications for our understanding of human history and the natural world. It would suggest that Sasquatch have been interacting with humans for thousands of years, and have been collecting and preserving artifacts from ancient human civilizations. This discovery would challenge our current understanding of the timeline of human history and the development of civilizations. It would also raise questions about the cognitive abilities and cultural practices of Sasquatch, and whether they have been observing and learning from humans for centuries. Furthermore, the presence of ancient human artifacts in Sasquatch possession would also raise questions about the ethics of human interaction with the natural world and the treatment of indigenous species. It would highlight the importance of respecting and preserving the cultural heritage of all beings. Overall, the significance of Sasquatch holding and keeping human ancient artifacts would be a profound and thought-provoking discovery, with far-reaching implications for our understanding of the natural world and our place within it.

1. There is no evidence of an Egyptian presence in the Grand canyon (which is on the opposite side of the continent from Nova Scotia). 2. Multiple cultures came up with pyramids independently of each other (the Pyramids are also nothing alike nor were they built within the same time span). 3. Most cultures have Sun gods, Ra also has nothing to do with fertility. 4. Most cultures have calendars, also again the calendars are nothing alike. 5. The Egyptians rarely did human sacrifice (and it was only so Pharos could have servants in the afterlife and it was soon replaced by clay dolls). 6. A lot of cultures have a hierarchical society. 7. Serpents and Eagles are common across the World and Egypt didn't have Jaguars. 8. Most ancient cultures believed in other realms. 9. Every culture has festivals to mark important days. 10. Everybody did maths (Mayans had a base 20 number system while Egypt had a base 10 number system). Most of this is just what people generally do. "Finding ancient Egyptian artifacts in the Americas would be a ground breaking discovery," so you admit that you haven't found anything. A lot of this stuff is just Egyptian man' s burden, claiming that the Mayans, Olmec, etc didn't make their own cultural attchievements but were taught them by someone else. Are you talking about Bigfoot? Really? If Bigfoot was real, we would already know.

@@ArmchairEgyptology Thank you! I was curious so I looked up “hieratic” on Google, and am currently going through a paper by J.A. Roberson titled “A Very Brief Introduction to Hieratic”. It’s fascinating how hieroglyphs have been simplified into still recognisable shapes. I also learnt that hieroglyphs too can be handwritten (not only hieratic and demotic), as can be seen from religious documents such as the Book of the Dead. Another topic that I’ve been super interested in is Chinese characters, and I see some parallels between them and Egyptian hieroglyphs (don’t worry, I’m not drawing any far-fetched Sino-Egyptian connection haha im not like that!!). The oldest form of Chinese characters were extremely pictographic and were reserved for carved inscriptions. Alongside them, a cursive form was developed for handwriting, which stylised the original shapes. So, while pictographs represented real-life shapes in the carved medium, their handwritten counterparts reached a level of abstraction where you can’t see the object being depicted anymore. Plus, just like in Ancient Egyptian, many characters that looked different were assigned one single handwritten form, which made the script more ambiguous. From Roberson’s paper, I can see that the same process happened with 𓂝, whose hieratic form can also represent 𓂞, 𓂟, 𓂠, 𓂡, 𓂢, 𓂣, 𓂤 and 𓂥. The difference between China and Egypt is that Egyptian hieroglyphs have always remained on stone inscriptions, whereas the handwritten forms in China replaced their original counterparts even on stone, with the initial pictographic characters falling completely out of use. What was initially a cursive form became the standard (it wasn’t seen as a cursive anymore), and from there, even more stylised cursive forms were developed! It’s crazy how, unlike Chinese characters, the use of hieroglyphs remained this consistent throughout Ancient Egypt’s thousands-year old history!

I despise him -- boastful lout. His letter to his Viceroy of Nubia is one of the most blatant examples of xenophobia from ANY ruler before or since. I would also point out all those claims of athletic prowess are SELF-REPORTED -- dictated to his own minions to be memorialized on stele & temple carvings for all eternity. Ramses II had a mighty ego, but doesn't come close to poor Thutmose III's second son

I guess I wonder, candidate for what? There is no physical or documentary evidence that the described events took place, so as far as I can tell no pharaohs are a candidate for anything. On the other hand I have watched both Prince of Egypt and Exodus: Gods and Kings and they say it was Ramesses II 🤷‍♂️

@@ArmchairEgyptology I wouldn't count on hollywood as a historical reference. On the other hand, if the Bible is indeed mythology, why have archeologists been using it as a reference for their work for hundreds of years? Just a little food for thought. And incidentally, if your Kingdom was brought to its knees because of a high ranking Woman bringing a bastard into the fold, you might have some misogynistic tendencies too. 😉

The Egyptians of old who uplifted the Ankh are enemies to the Hebrew God, The ankh is evil and is a symbol of false gods who are men. Christianity pretends to be of the Jewish God but in reality it is a revamped Egyptian religion mixed with moleck.

_"Time is money......."_ Moral: Pharaohs = plastered their names everywhere as they desired to be recognized and remembered. Yet many Pharaonic titles incorporated similar names - as they associated themselves with various Gods - and symbols. So it was easier to simply modify an existing cartouche of a previous Pharaoh - repeated many times - than to chisel out and replace what might be hundreds of cartouches on temple columns which might be covered in hieroglyphs. p.s. - most Egyptians likely could not read anyways. They simply = recognized a given symbol/word. What matter to them if it had been modified or not.

3:51 I really dont think you grasp this arc in the game ... what you've said is historically true but what makes Bayek special is that he is an old school - tradition fazed man . His father was also an obscure Medjay that protected Siwa from theifs and ravagers more than he cared for the Pharoah or any of the ongoing political turmoil . Many times throughout the gameplay you'd find locals fascinated that the Medjay still exist and most would comment on how they thought that they were abolished after the Old Kingdom . The book (Desert Oath) specifically touches on how the Medjay was transferred (both conceptually and culturally) to the assassins as a functioning unit till modern times. That was the whole point of Bayek being the godfather of the "Hidden Ones" .

It’s probably open to interpretation how much of an anachronism Bayek being a Medjay really is. It is an AC game and they do compress history a bit. I don’t actually care, of course, it’s a lot of fun and I do like the idea of someone stuck a bit in the past as his civilisation irreversibly transitions!
