Something really interesting I’ve come to find out recently is of a joint Medjay (as in the people group, think modern Bejas), Kerman (from the Bronze Age Nubian capital of Kerma) and Puntite (people from the Land of Punt in the Northern Horn of Africa by the Red Sea) military expedition into Egypt between 1575BC-1550BC detailed on an inscription in the tomb of Sobeknakht II. The inscription read the following: “Vile Kush came, aroused along his length, he having stirred up the tribes of Wawat (analogous to the C-Group), the oasis-dwellers beyond the second cataract, Medjaw and Pwnt”

History with Cy: I have decided WHY I enjoy your videos. 1. You keep your background music to a low enough level that I do not get distracted by it. Another history Podcaster ALWAYS makes his music soft, then LOUD as he takes a breath! OMG, that is so distracting, and his music is "not my style." Yuck, yuck, puke, puke! 2. Your narration is ANIMATED! I can LIVE those moments in my mind as you speak. Not many folks can entertain with just their voice. For instance, I would even compare you to Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs. He has a bass voice, yours is a tenor-type or baritone-type of a voice. Your ANIMATIONS and inflections are quite impressive. 3. Your voice also shows your care and love, deep reflections, regarding your topics. You do not personalize the content, but I hear it in your voice. Thank you for being awesome like that. The channel, Ancient Americas also does what you do. So awesome, but it seems his content is more personal. No matter, keep doing great as I have heard, over and over.

Thanks so much not, not only for watching, but the feedback as well. It's very helpful as I try to make each video a little better than the previous ones (I cringe at the audio in some of my older vids and often ask myself "what was wrong with my mic that it sounds like I'm yelling?!?!). Oh and Ancient Americas is a great channel... I've seen a couple of his Maya videos recently... really well done! Thanks again for the kind words and feedback, comments like this make my day!

The thing is , I have no idea how come more don't explore the idea that in fact the 1st Egyptian dynasties were a spin off of an older Nubia. In these early dynasties you'd be hard pressed to distinguish between the southern Egyptians & Nubians , as the theory is they both were African people that came ftom out of the Sahara when it started to dry up . There are just too many similarities , shared customs. I mean there are more Pyramids in Nubia than in Egypt. I know they were later , but these 2 people share an entwined history from the very beginning. They have found artifacts as old as the 1st Egyptian dynasty. Nubia is to Egypt what Rome is to Greece. I think it's very plausible that Nubia was kind of what Britain is to the birth of the U.S . One was 1st , but the spin off became even a bigger draw. We'll probably never know since most of these ancient artifacts are at the bottom of the Nasser Damn. Damn shame.

Yes, Kush was part/kingdom located within Nubia.

[@adonijahmorningstar493]

Yes, Their progenitor, the son of Ham, his name was both Cush and Nubia. *(Genesis 10:6-8; 1Chronicles 1:8-10).* The Egyptians or Kemets were also descendants of Ham, their skin tone was *reddish-brown,* rather than *Black.* This is why *North East Africa* was once called *"the land of Ham,"(Psalm 106:23),* there were no light skinned Egyptians until *the Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans and Arabs* invaded. Now these people are of Egypt today, to say otherwise, is insulting... Like saying people born in America are not Americans because they are not of *"the First Nations."

[@WoodsLesnik]

I've always wondered whether Nubia was a Cushitic or Nilotic civilization.

[@HistorywithCy]

I would say it encompassed both... Nubia from my understanding is more of a geographic term... and within that area were many different groups of people. So Kushites were also Nubian as were the people of the A-Group culture, C-Group, etc. That's my understanding. Thanks for watching, really appreciate it!

[@g-rexsaurus794]

In the north they were probably Cushitic while Meroe itself was Nubian, it's hard to know but you can still easily google some scholarly sources from linguists if you want.

[@Kermatrix]

They were, by far and large, most similar to modern Cushitic speakers phenotypically and genotypically if the osteological and genetic record is anything to go by. Linguistics is another thing, with most modern theories suggesting that Lower Nubia was predominantly Cushitic-speaking and Upper Nubia was dominated by Nilo-Saharan speakers. Kushites themselves were probably Nilo-Saharan speaking peoples, but they would’ve undoubtedly looked like their descendants in Sudan today as well as nearby Horn Africans who occupy the same cluster on PCA plots (think Amhara, Somalis, Tegaru, Oromos), as was the case for essentially all of Nubia as far back as the A Group Culture (who were described as very similar to Tigrays and Somalis in multiple separate studies concerned with both dental and craniometric analyses). Nubians were Nilo-Saharan speakers, but not Nilotic in the way people use the word today. They would’ve looked just as Sudanese ‘Arabs’, Nubians and Beja do.

Kind of the same with rome and greece the romans were believed by some to be greeks who escaped from the trojan war to the Italian peninsula to establish the city of rome and later rise to power to conquer greece itself the difference is that when the romans took over greece they became heavily influenced by the greeks in many aspects meanwhile when egyptians conquered nubia the nubians kind of assimilated into Egyptian culture especially in lower nubia

[@phaeron2450]

That is true. Nubia was an established civilization, during pre dynastic Egypt. Also, since Nubia is older, they also shared (culture) some of their gods. (if not originate them) notably Osiris, awset and Horus. That's just a note, of there influence. Also adding to this. When you see the wall painting, of Ramses conflict with Nubia. it shows people with jet black skin (nilotic skin tone.) And brown red skin tone people, as part of the Nubian's, being conquered.

The Egyptians never claimed that they did not build their pyramids. All the evidence, both archaeological and documentary, tells us that the pyramids were built by the Egyptians in the period that historians suggest. Unfortunately, nowadays you hear a lot of either naive or unscrupulous people who latch on to the hypothesis that the Egyptians did not build the pyramids but in truth there is absolutely no evidence to support this. It seems to me that the sole reason for such unsupported hypotheses is to make a lot of money by selling books on the subject to gullible souls who have done no real research into history.

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".)

Ta Seti was the first nome of egypt, Ta Seti is the Land of the Bow, the Nubians. Ta Seti existed at least a couple hundred years before the unification of upper and lower regions by Namer, who came from the South. On maps you will often see regional categories, Lower Egypt, Upper Egypt, and then Lower Nubia. Well, Upper Nubia is also Upper Egypt. All unifiers of the 2 lands came from the South. When invaders came to egypt, the egyptians always fled south, into the "arab" interpretation of their "enemies." They went south back to the origin. They went south to get big brother. Ta Seti is now flooded and under water as wel as all the temples along that area located in Nubia. Flooded by the govnt of egypt. Keep in mind, Kemet is not Egypt. Egypt was named and defined by foreign rulers. People of Kemet are not the people of egypt.

[@olenickel6013]

This is patently false. Upper Nubia is to the south of Lower Nubia, not its north. Upper/Lower in these terms refers to where along the flow of the Nile. The term Kemet is also attested in older writings than Ta Seti, which was furthermore an exonym, i.e. what the Egyptian neighbors called it, not what Nubians themselves called it. This is just another pseudohistoric meme pushed for ideological purposes, not what actual historic evidence suggests.

[@GDubbleBubble]

@@olenickel6013 why is lower egypt and lower nubia called lower and upper egypt called upper? its called topography. Upper egypt sits elevated compared to either lower side. shit literally has nothing to do with cardinal points or as you say "the flow" of the nile. You're actually misinterpreting 2 different points that were combined to make a 1-2 punch. its called upper because it sits on higher ground (elevation). whats the first 3-4 nomes of ancient kemet called and where are they located? do you even know what ta-seti is? its nice to think nubians adopted egyptian culture when the evidence and their own stories say literally the opposite. Its even sadder because they tell you all the pieces you need to figure it out but most people dont have a clue what even the basic conclusions means or where it derived. Learn to read the glyphs....shits literally all there, written down to be read. Naqada aka nbwt, labeled as being in upper egypt, where's that on the map? you should know that nub means gold right? which is why modern egyptologists named the southerners nubians, because the gold, and not their black skin. i know, thats the only context in which you've been shown to use the world nubia, the politically correct way to say negro. Surprise, look in the dictionary and then you see the level 2 of the manipulation...Nubian is actually defined in the dictionary as Negro. So egyptians went to go to get their gold from the Negros, as defined by Budge.

@@GDubbleBubble I'm not sure how to argue with you other than an exasperated "you're wrong about very basic things and gratingly arrogant in your tone".

Either way, Upper Nubia is the southernmost of the regions debated here. As for the rest of your post, that comes just across as rambling.

@@olenickel6013 wow. so i guess you understand why up stream is up and down stream is down. once again topography. buy yeah, rivers always flow downhill. called gravity right? you have to be on higher elevation to take the nile down north, down stream towards the northern direction. you realize there's mountains right there where the cataract bends, which is why it bends as it goes around the higher terrain. Its called Upper because its up a mountain and that mountain exists in the middle of boths sides of Lower Egypt and Lower Nubia. There is no, we claim this mountain so it can't be your uphill. The shits upper for either side. cmon man. Shits basic topography. Its common knowledge that Ta-Seti existed full blown at least a couple 100s of years prior to the founding of Kemet. They came from the south with an already established system of "religion" and government. You know, those guys that rock Shimsu Heru on a standard, just like in the Narmer palette. Each diety has its own home along the nile which is an good indicator of where the origins of an individual comes from. Ta-Seti, Land of the Bow, 1st nome of Kemet, another name for Nubians (which is a word that didn't even exist back then).
