10 PhDs Say The Ancient Egyptians Were WHAT!?! | Expert Perspectives

[@enkaiscott]

Some people are still missing the point. Art students have known for a long time that there were no "white" pharaohs in ancient Egypt-none. When the King Tut exhibit came to town, the Egyptologist made it clear: Tut was Black, his father was Black, and his children were Black. This was not the Nubian dynasty; the entire family was Black. Even to the north of Egypt, the Canaanites were also Black. The Bible describes people from these regions, archeology demonstrates them as having distinct features, and if you look at the ancient artifacts from places like Ur before Babylon, their hairstyles, lips, and features make it clear. Archaeology also tells us that the first Briton was Black, and the first Chinese were Black as well. In fact, Black-skinned people were pioneers who spread across the world long before racial labels were used to divide people.

@@BasedKungFu Light skinned genes were always present in Africa as far back as we can go but they became frequent 20,000-28,000 years ago in Eurasia due to natural selection. White skin on the other hand is only 4,000-6,000 years old and parts of France, Spain & Italy still had black skinned people till then when agriculture spread throughout the region and sunlight was dimmed by the cloudy conditions of Europe and their poor nutritional value grainy diets couldn’t provide enough vitamin D so their skin evolved to be translucent instead.

At 10:27 How is it known that's actually Narmer? I've found some info on that stone head. Most info I've found said that Sir Flanders Petrie believed it to be depicting Narmer. Another source I came across said that some believe it to be Khufu. Basically nobody actually knows who that stone head is depicting. It could be depicting one of the rulers of the 25th Nubian dynasty. "Limestone head of a man. Petrie thought that this is king Narmer of the 1st Dynasty. Petrie bought it from Egypt, precise provenance of excavation is unknown." Source: OSA 0785 World History

[@RW2996]

@CrowdPleeza Even if it isn't Narmer, the Narmer Pallet depicting the unification of Egypt, shows the same strong fearures on him and his followers as opposed to the more Asiatic features of some of the people they were fighting. And no one doubts Narmer was from the south. NOT Asia or the Mediterranean. And secondly, even if it wasn't Narmer, it's the head of an Egyptian found in Egypt. And he is obviously African in his features.

[@gamalnassertv]

It looks like Big Ramy, those features are part of the diversity of Egyptians.

[@RW2996]

@gamalnassertv Egyptian isn't a race. If Egyptians are diverse then it's because many people moved their and many people mixed over thousands of years. Sense the fall of Egypt Greeks ,Romans ,ottomans ,mamamaluks ,British, Arabs etc.have controlled the land for thousands of years. It's insane that people insist that nothing would have changed.

[@gamalnassertv]

@@RW2996 Again, people conquering a region does not mean total population replacement, especially since we have genomes showing continuity that predate those groups you mentioned, and they match/are closest to living Egyptians. However, there was indeed prevalent mixing that occurred, especially in Lower Egypt, it happened with the Hyksos/Canaanites who have been migrating into that region since at least the 1st Intermediate Period. It is though important to remember that the north of the country was always more Levantine influenced even in prehistory, and they intermarried with the south over thousands of years including during the pre-dynastic periods.

[@eccentricaste3232]

You don't even need PhD. If you establish that the nubiana were dark skinned Africans and they share common proximity with Egypt, it's safe to say Ancient Egyptians were, not just blacks but as dark skinned as their nubian neighbors. If you look at natives of the current US you'll see they share similar genetic markers as other natives in neighboring countries.

If there's evidence that ancient Egyptians were black, great. There's no need to make a fg political issue out of it. Anyone who thinks race confers superiority isn't going to accept facts anyway. Just let the evidence speak for itself.

[@smashrockwell]

Thank you for your comment. I understand your concern about turning this into a political issue. However, it’s important to note that the question of ancient Egyptians' identity was made political long before it became a focus within Black communities. Starting in the 19th century, European scholars and historians often misrepresented or erased African histories, including Ancient Egypt's African roots, to fit colonial and racial ideologies. These narratives were used to promote ideas of European cultural and racial superiority, claiming advanced ancient civilizations as "non-African" to support these biases. Evidence from ancient art, language, skeletal studies, and DNA research increasingly confirms the African heritage of ancient Egyptians. Acknowledging this history helps correct a record distorted by others for political reasons. For Black communities, reclaiming and highlighting Egypt’s African identity isn’t about superiority; it’s about accurate representation and celebrating Africa's rich contributions to world history. By presenting evidence as it is, we can indeed let the facts speak, but we also have to recognize the context that has historically suppressed those facts.

[@Mark-j9d8r]

I don't give a damn what anyone else has to say about my culture. The Akan names of the founders of Kemet are STILL there and the combination of African languages they spoke is still written on the walls of the temples. Twi, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba etc are not Arab or Semetic languages. They didnt even know half of the animals used in writing the Mduntr. Neither do they know any of the Neteru. They still dont. We still do. We call them Orishas, Loa, Abosom etc. The Greeks have ALWAYS spoken about the Black teachers who gave them everything from reading, writting and math, to philosophy, arts and medicine. There is no argument.

Why were many Egyptian women depicted with yellow skin in paintings? Even Queen Tiye is shown with yellow skin in paintings. Why?

[@AFRICA4AFRICANS]

BS!!! Complete BS!!!

[@RW2996]

First of all Queen tiye isn't depicted as yellow in all her depictions. If I remember correctly, there was another less significant Queen named Tiye who existed much later. But one theory is that yellow represents fertility. It's is actually gold. And in a religious context in which they are represents Gold. Being that sometimes you will see a woman represented as yellow sometimes and Black or Brown other times. Even in Nubia. Where we don't doubt they are Black. Queen Amhose Nefertari is represented as Black or very dark brown in her portrait ls. But one portrait represented her as yellow/gold. But the gold one was created decades or centuries after her death to honor her in the afterlife. Which is a religious context. The fact that people are willing to accept that Men and women of the same group living in the same place would all have completely different complexions is an example of how brainwashed people are. We aren't peacocks. We don't come in different colors based on gender. That not even the case in modern day Egypt. But people will argue this like It makes the most sense. But I would encourage you to look at more art from ancient Egypt. You will see that men and women are generally depicted the same color. Especially th3 further back you go in time. And keep in mind many images were "restored" by modern Egyptians based on their bias.

[@CrowdPleeza]

From the Egyptology sources I've read. They point out that many Egyptian women were depicted with yellow skin to indicate that they spent time mostly indoors away from the sun. So that color reflected something close to their natural skin color. The men were often shown with the reddish-brown color to indicate that they got a lot of sun exposure from being outside more. So the reddish-brown color was more about the men tanning from sun exposure.

[@gamalnassertv]

It depends on period as sometimes they did use conventions, so not always literal, but the fair skin (yellow and white) is also shown with individuals having straight hair and clearly West Asian appearance. Both the Canaanite and Egyptian women were depicted the same in some tombs.

[@RW2996]

@CrowdPleeza Does that make sense to you? When queens like Hatshepsut are painted brown, that means she was outside all the time? Where in Egyptian history does it indicate that they kept their women inside all the time?

[@ShamanKish]

Interestingly, did Egyptians leave any record about races? Why are we even discussing this?

[@djeio]

Yes the table of nations by Ramses 3 clearly denotes four Nubian figures by ethnicity one of which was Remetch which was the ethnicity of the Egyptian. Also by papyrus they say they came from punt which is in east Africa.

There is some context missing from this video. The first three like Kara Cooney is saying the way Americans Define Black with the one drop rule the ancient AND modern Egyptians are black.That is why Cara Cooney in the same video states that the Egyptians were formed from Three different groups of people and she would define the Egyptians as African not Black. In that same video she continues on about Afrocentrcis trying to appropriate Egypt and making Egyptians more blacker then they was. Dr Rebecca is not an Egyptologist , I guess thats why the naming of this video was changed to be appropriate. Ethiopians were considered "black" Libyans were considered dark skinned. However Northern Africa and Egypt was extremely diverse by the time of Greeks and Romans, especially Egypt as there was a non stop migration of Asiatics, Libyans and Southern Europeans into lower Egypt. Brophy is correct the inhabitants of Nabta Playa shows black African features HOWEVER according to studies at the same time Gebel Ramlah which is next to Nabta Playa and around the same time period shows again an racially Admixed population. Moreno was literally saying that the reason there were black Egyptians was because they intermarried with nubians. Martin Bernal stated the black African element to Egypt was predominantly the East African type. Diop in his writings stated that during the Predynastic period whites became a part of Naqada civilization, this is before Dynastic formation. Most importantly the most important Egyptologist SOY Keita clearly states he does not call the Egyptians Black. This focus on calling the Egyptians black takes away from the real focus that should be placed on Egypt, its African roots. These African roots however is based on racial admixture from different parts of Africa and the Levant as Keita said. So again according to the one drop rule Modern Day Egypt is Black.

This would suggest that The African element is stronger.
