Greek and Roman Sources on Ancient Africa

In this episode special guest Dr. Raoul Mclaughlin takes us into ancient Greek and Roman Knowledge of ancient Africa from discussing its geography such as how the ancients outside of Africa viewed the land and shape, various peoples, animals, vegetation, conflicts and so very much more.
Though a second episode is coming on Roman expeditions into ancient Africa, this episode sets the foundation as we watch a Roman Commander Gaius Suetonius Paulinus rise in fame from fighting the Celts in Britain to putting down rebellion in Africa.
This is a fantastic collection of sources and commentary that are vital and fun when trying to understand ancient History and Africa.

That's why you have to approach cooking shows with some caution and common sense (for a non-controversial example).

One thing we have to respect about the Ancient Greeks, is that they understood that the Egyptians were Black Africans & that the Greeks were just babies to Black Egyptian Science, Math, Medicine & God (s) & that the Egyptians taught them & they even mimicked the Ethiopians & Egyptians Gods! The Bible also confirms this... Find the river Gihon that encompasses the WHOLE of Cush/Ethiopia... then you will find the Garden of Eden! It is sad that racist tried to re-write that history, but luckily God Almighty preserved all of the other Ancient Black African books & knowledge!

[@vnorm2907]

The first line of evidence in favor of an African origin of Egyptian civilization comes from the Egyptians themselves. They called their land "Kamit," i.e., "the Black Land," and their own name for themselves was "Kamiu," which translates literally as "the Blacks." Their word for the African lands to the south of them was "Khenti" -- "Khentiu" denoting the Sudanic peoples who lived there -- and this is also their word for "first, foremost, beginning, origin, chief." Furthermore, the Egyptian word for "east" is the same as their word for "left" and their word for "west" the same as their word for "right." This makes sense only if the Egyptians oriented themselves southward and looked in that direction for the land of their origins. No people coming from north of Egypt would have oriented themselves in this way -- particularly since Egypt's location in the northern hemisphere lends itself more naturally to a northward orientation. Further evidence is found in the Egyptians' anthropomorphic representations of the passage of the sun across the heavens, in which the boat of the sun begins its morning or eastern ascent on the left side of the sky-goddess Nut -- who thus is in a southern heaven despite Egypt's northern hemispheric location. Moreover, whenever Egyptian inscriptions refer to Egyptian origins, the land of Punt -- present-day Somalia and northern Kenya -- is pointed to as the ancestral homeland. One word for inner Africa, "yau," is the same as their word for "old," making inner Africa "the old country" of immigration. Inner Africa also was Ta-Neter, "the Land of the Gods." Everything about the interior of Africa evoked in the Egyptians a sense of awe, reverence and nostalgia.

It kind of amazes me that no one in Rome just tried to sail up the Nile as far as it goes. The Egyptians knew of the Nubians but no one thought or just wanted to travel further south, in search of new riches even with a navy. But maybe by the time that was possible, Rome was already too big that diverting enough resources for an expedition would have left Egypt or Syria very vulnerable to the Parthians.

Rome did attack Nubia and lost dismally. And then a treaty was settled with the Queen of Nubia who lead the Nubians to victory.

Truth is coming out bit by bit and those who not too obsessed with race will find true knowledge.

[@RobertGotschall]

We laugh at these written accounts, but try to imagine how our own accounts of deep space will seem to future generations. And those old Greeks knew much more about Africa than we ever will have of the Universe.

“Africa” comes from the language of Tamazight (language of Berbers/Amazigh). Other African ethnicities may have other names in their own language.

No no no no, I am African and know the history of this continent extensively, has our history been hidden and diluted? YES!, are things starting to change? YES even though it's a bit slow but yes, so brother trust me you not doing us any favors by making false claims that are easily debunked, Africa has a very rich history with many great and interesting civilizations there is no need to claim the Romans/Greeks were black because others will think even the real stuff is fake. Most of this misinformation comes from some people in the diaspora, continental Africans know which civilizations were African and it's most definitely not the Romans/Greeks.
