[@metatronyt]

After having read many comments here, I believe a clarification is in order. 1 - To all those who joined and brought valid criticism, praise, expressed agreement or legitimate disagreement with my conclusions in a civil manner, thank you for your contributions! It is very much appreciated. Thank you for watching and for taking the time out of your day to share your thoughts with us. We will review the evidence presented to counter our arguments and dive into research once again as we always do, to find the truth. Constructive criticism is always welcome. 2 - To all those in the comments who have attacked me with all sorts of horrible slurs, insulted me, expressed hatred towards us Europeans and the white skin we have, I only have one word: shameful. All forms of racism are wrong and your intolerance and ethnic hatred towards me doesn't get a pass just because my skin is light. I did not and never have attacked Kuelimika or any proponent of Afrocentricity because of their skin. To me variation in skin tone only makes the world more beautiful. White and Black people are all brothers, and racist hatred is never justified on either side. I hope you can grow as individuals and learn to reject this toxic hatred you have inside. 3 - To those who have accused me of supporting white supremacy just because I respectfully disagreed with scholars such as Diop. Your accusations are baseless. Science and academic research is based on debate. An attack on an argument is the basis of how we learn and grow as a species. To think that either I agree with you blindly, or I'm a racist is an attempt at coercion, and demonstrates you don't know how professional academia works. I welcome all attacks to my arguments as any researcher should, as long as they are presented professionally. 4 - To all those who write that black Africans have contributed nothing to civilization and that Africa has no history, you are completely wrong too. Africa has a rich history and culture and very much to offer on these fields. Check my video dedicated to the top 10 African weapons, or the second part of my video, (minute 10: 08) "Jada Pinkett Smith and Director of Cleopatra: Interview RESPONSE", to see me deep dive on the history of the Kandake. 5 - To my subscribers, once again I ask you to not attack Kuelimika directly, only attack his arguments. I do not support any racist slur used against him either. Let's be civil, he has a right to his opinions just as much as I have a right to mine. 6 - To those who called me a liar and said my team of academics doesn't exist. You are delusional. 7 - To those who say I'm a coward apparently for not "answering their comments". This video as of now has over 10.000 comments. How these people think only their comment matters is beyond me. How these people think I surely even saw their comments in the first place is once again beyond me. Let us all learn to share disagreements in a civil manner, without having to attack and insult people who disagree with you. Considering the fact I need to take into consideration my own mental health, I'll stop reading comments from the comment section of this video for some time. Thanks for understanding and for watching.

[@mystoryisbonkers5711]

Does this mean the father of Egyptology Jean Francois Champollion would have been considered an Afrocentric??? because to my knowledge, he agrees with the fact that Kemet was a black civilization. I think this whole issue started when his brother who had never been to Egypt countered him on the blackness of ancient Egypt because he refused to believe that the blacks who were slaves at the time could have brought about civilization...hence concluded they Kemet was European and more Egyptologists began to reason along this line. But their is enough evidence to prove Kemet was black

[@AfricanPrinse]

Although it looks like you tend to be objective and I appreciate it , in your analysis you have your biases, there are also many Europeans who said themselves that the most ancient inhabitants of kemet were black and changed progressively , they include Constantin François de chasseboeuf count of Volney , Gaston Maspero and so on. Your analysis here is too light, it has no in depth analysis, and finally there are many other advanced more African civilizations than Zulus i would like you to discuss if you wish they include Benin city state , Swahili city states , great Zimbabwe civilization and the kanem Bornu empire. ✌🏿✌🏻

Thank you for addressing the ignorance on both sides. Honestly, these people don't see they're two sides of the same coin.

It's beyond pathetic. I'm very much tempted to make my first video on this ignorance of extreme Afrocentrics and Eurocentrics.

@@metatronytThis is hilarious because the bible that Europeans worship literally says Ham black sons are Egyptians and Kushites (Ethiopians). Arabs and Europeans are not Hamites.

[@HoboWithAShotgun]

​@@mrpanamera7599 this is too simplistic of a take from you. It is true that blacks descended from Ham (as well as Egyptians and Canaanites) but that does not mean everyone was "black". This doesn't take into account who their wives were or who their children married. As an example the Canaanites (from hams son Canaan) were historically fair skinned. Even if ham were as black as soot his sons would have intermarried with other groups of a different stock at some point. Remember it's only counting who was their paternal progenitor (no mention of their wives ) Now take hams brother Japheth (the father of Europeans and Persians and Indians) his descendants range from pale white to very dark like the Tamils of India (the Tamils have European facial features and body types but are darker than many Africans) yet Japheth still fathered them What we call black and white people are that way due to generations of mating with similar groups. So yes ham fathered mizraim(Egyptians) but that doesn't mean "they were black" Interestingly I have a theory that the name kemet (black land) is actually how they pronounced ham(Kem) and sometimes the bible has called mizraim "the land of ham" so "black" (Kem)is really a translation of ham so kem'et is "hams land" which makes sense since he produced mizraim.

Nope the Afrocentric argument is that there were phenotypically black Native American tribes prior to the transatlantic slave trade. Not that all were black.

[@Pushing_Pixels]

I stumbled upon a YT channel where the creator was claiming that Black Americans were really Native Americans and were not transported from Africa, but were there all along. Their argument seemed to be mostly based on some old photos of dark skinned Native Americans, and concluded that Native Americans were black, therefore Black Americans are Native Americans. I did leave a comment pointing out that skin tone varies in the Americas just as it does on every other continent, and that the Atlantic Slave Trade was pretty well supported with evidence. The couple of replies I got didn't make sense, so I didn't engage.

[@Leodachef1]

The answer is easy, they dont have anything that contributed to the modern world, literally nothing of their cultures is of any greater meaning to todays world, let alone the ancient. They try to grab every straw they can find to justify their incapability to evolve. I think they are one of the group of people that the modern world would leave behind very quickly if they have nothing greater to contribute, alot of this is defined by other archiements of other cultures and grps of people that dominate modern society. I guess they feel lost in an always growing world, they seek their place, which we took by our accomplishments in the past. Why else would you try to claim time and time again they things other cultures and people did around the world? Because noone cares if your tribe already enslaved people 100000 years ago or built a speartip with iron. Their cultures seem to fade away because they have no significance for the modern world, thats why they try to safe themself by claiming every shit on earth their culture. Pathetic.

Ancient Greek Historiography reports/records that The Builders of The Pyramids are a proper subclass of nA nHsw m tA nHsw: "They say also that the Egyptians are colonists sent out by the Ethiopians, Osiris having been the leader of the colony. For, speaking generally, what is now Egypt, they maintain, was not land but sea when in the beginning the universe was being formed; afterwards, however, as the Nile during the times of its inundation carried down the mud from Ethiopia, land was gradually built up from the deposit. Also the statement that all the land of the Egyptians is alluvial silt deposited by the river receives the clearest proof, in their opinion, from what takes place at the outlets of the Nile; for as each year new mud is continually gathered together at the mouths of the river, the sea is observed being thrust back by the deposited silt and the land receiving the increase. And the larger part of the customs of the Egyptians are, they hold, Ethiopian, the colonists still preserving their ancient manners. For instance, the belief that their kings are gods, the very special attention which they pay to their burials, and many other matters of a similar nature are Ethiopian practices, while the shapes of their statues and the forms of their letters are Ethiopian; for of the two kinds of writing​ which the Egyptians have, that which is known as "popular" (demotic) is learned by everyone, while that which is called "sacred"​ is understood only by the priests of the Egyptians, who learn it from their fathers as one of the things which are not divulged, but among the Ethiopians everyone uses these forms of letters. Furthermore, the orders of the priests, they maintain, have much the same position among both peoples; for all are clean​ who are engaged in the service of the gods, keeping themselves shaven, like the Egyptian priests, and having the same dress and form of staff, which is shaped like a plough and is carried by their kings, who wear high felt hats which end in a knob at the top and are circled by the serpents which they call asps; and this symbol appears to carry the thought that it will be the lot of those who shall dare to attack the king to encounter death-carrying stings.​ Many other things are also told by them concerning their own antiquity and the colony which they sent out that became the Egyptians, but about this there is no special need of our writing anything." - The Library of History: Book III - Chapter 3.1 - 3.7 by Diodorus Siculus Further: "Since, to bear witness ourselves, during the time of our visit to Egypt, we associated with many of its priests and conversed with not a few ambassadors from Ethiopia as well who were then in Egypt; and after inquiring carefully of them about each matter and testing the stories of the historians, we have composed our account so as to accord with the opinions on which they most fully agree." - The Library of History: Book III - Chapter 11.4 by Diodorus Siculus Thus, here we have Ancient Historiography observing that both The Priest-Historians of Kamit and The Ambassaors from Ta-Seti recognize that The Builders of The Pyramids are nA nHsw.

Europe can thank Greece and colonisation from Rome for much of its advancement.

The videos you have chosen to argue against, just in the clips shown, are typical of Afrocentric arguments of attempting to speak confidently and arrogantly on topics they have clearly not researched.

Probably because this whole "cultural appropriation" concept served as a weapon from the get go. But in this case it's not even "cultural appropriation", it's worse - it's "national history theft". Because "appropriators" normally recognize the source and do not pretend to be the original creators/possessors of whatever they are appropriating.

[@PotDylan]

I don't think it's the same people. Social Justice warriors and Afrocentrists are not the same albeit they are both veteran victim card players because their arguments are always such that would invoke emotions of compassion for some supposed white people forced oppresion. They did have a little bit of a collaboration there with Egypt and Cleopatra but I think it's only since it was made by American SJWs that probably happened to get passionate about the "true land of the oppressed" or something like that and started looking into Africa. Guess a black Cleopatra does sound empowering for their cause ey?

It's emotionally, physically, and intellectually exhausting to keep having to defend your own heritage and identity. But it's necessary, because these unchecked Afrocentrist delusions have real world consequences. It's a deeply embedded delusion that is almost impossible to defeat. But mature and sophisticated videos like this help greatly. Thanks again.

[@therealspeedwagon1451]

I don’t understand what’s with Africans, specifically African Americans beliefs that they all think they descend from ancient Egyptians. Most African Americans were brought over as slaves from West and Central Africa. Places like modern day Nigeria, Senegal, Ghana, the Congo, etc. There is no genetic evidence that those people, and to an extent African Americans come from ancient Egyptians.

[@med2904]

It's becoming worse in the last few years because Americans are becoming more polarized and extremist. American blacks just want to say "We wuz kangz!" to feel proud of their skin color, and subsaharan Africa isn't enough for them. Egypt as the most famous African country is just the most enticing land for them to claim. They invent similar claims about Europe being historically multiracial or ruled by blacks as well. But it's easier for lies about North Africa to stick and be repeated more often because there's more nuance there.

[@bdleo300]

"Afrocentrists" today are not even from Africa, but almost entirely from America, so-called "Afro-Americans" /black racists and supremacists... and like most Americans they can't find Africa on the map... or the map. They can't comprehend the idea that so many real Africans don't look like them, because they don't know anything about Africa apart from myths, fantasies and pseudo-science.

[@palarious]

It's because of the cultural shift in the US. Racial division has been increasingly fanned by the left over the last two decades and educational standards have dropped like a rock. So the black supremacists are largely unchecked and the youth have zero critical thinking skills or historical knowledge to counter their message.

Wikipedia is not a bad source, when dealing with non-controversial topics at least. But one of the nice points about Wikipedia is that it encourages/requires that articles be _sourced._ This means that one can look those sources up to verify whether they are valid. For example, I was trying to figure out the geology of a particular place in England for a video on my A Yank in Sussex channel. The Wikipedia article wasn't particularly detailed on what I needed to know for my video -- BUT the article referenced a number of scientific papers that I could look up and get those details. Thus, Wikipedia has its valid uses in a debate.

[@mandandi]

True. The sources provide the references one can verify the information provided in the Wikipage. I would have loved him to use refences of India from ancient Egypt, rather than the time he used, which is not ancient Egypt. Also, I don't understand how one can claim the history of a nation across the ocean. I cant claim the history of a neighbouring nation, no matter how good their history is. He has a problem with the other guy saying 'our' history, yet he uses the words my history. Not sure how this is reconciled.

[@A.Severan]

As a North African, specifically a Libyan, I'm relieved to see this fact addressed directly. Too often, I feel like content creators softly conceded to their ludicrous ideas about North Africa and now the debate is about Greeks not being black. The Book of Seti from 1200 BC portrays the various races of the world, with Libyans depicted as having a fair complexion, Egyptians with an olive skin tone, distinctly different from the Nubians. This, along with numerous descriptions from sources like Herodotus, modern genetic evidence, and the actual appearance of the present-day inhabitants, proves that this shouldn't be a debate. Had I lived in ancient times and been a ruler, say, like the Libyan Septimius Severus, some might inaccurately label me as black. Also, this part of the world has historically been inhabited by Berbers, Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Vandals, and Arabs, even Normans at some point. None of these groups were black. What we now refer to as "North Africa" and "sub-Saharan Africa" are divided by the world's largest non-oceanic natural barrier: the Sahara desert. It's natural for populations separated by such a vast barrier to have distinct appearances. Similarly, in Asia, the Himalayas lead to the noticeable physical differences between Indians and Chinese. Sharing the name 'Africa' neither negates history nor geography, and it certainly doesn't grant you the right to distort and rewrite my history or label me, an Amazigh native, a colonizer.

EGYPT IS LOCATED ON THE NORTHERN TIP OF AFRICA IN THE MEDITERRANEAN!!!! Just as GREECE is LOCATED ON THE SOUTHERN REGION OF EUROPE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. There are around 3,000 tribes and 2,000 languages and dialects in Africa, with 54 modern countries. I once listed all 54 countries in a response. The current population of Africa is 1,470,668,578 as of Wednesday, October 18, 2023, based on the latest United Nations estimates. Do they all look and most importantly, think the same? Mass, magnificent, beautiful Africa. There are 44 countries in Europe today, according to the United Nations. Europe is home to 87 distinct ethnic groups, 33 of which form the majority populations of the countries in which they exist. The remaining 54 are considered to be minority ethnic groups. An ethnic group is a group of people who share a common ancestry, language, and culture. Ethnicity and nationality have similar meanings and are often used interchangeably, however they are slightly different, conceptually. Ethnicity includes several characteristics, like religion, race, or language, while nationality generally denotes the geographic origin. I'll let someone else look up the stats on Asia. ENOUGH!

Speaking as a Kenyan myself (I also do believe KueliMika is Kenyan), I find it extremely appalling how some of us Africans have a distinctive urge to prove our prowess as a people in the historical sense. We do not have to claim everything to sound "better" because it's actually pretty embarrassing. This Afrocentric rhetoric is just pointless and does not serve the African culture and history. The channel's name is Kuelimika which means to educate/enlighten, they should stick to what the name is rather than try to alter actual provable facts. I do understand where this type of sentiment comes from and why it exists but such debates cannot counter antiquated beliefs about Africa which have mostly being disproven by the history community thoroughly throughout the years.

[@teresamerkel7161]

Arthur had Excaliber. Metatron's sword is sharper and carries the name of Logic. I have read about Egypt strictly as an amateur most of my life. I could see from wall paintings and statues that Ancient Egyptians were multiethnic. They did a good job of representing themselves as such. Kemet means the black land, as opposed to the red land which is the desert where everything is death. The Nile river's magic was carrying that black soil down the river every inundation so that the farmers could grow their crops. From my amateur stance, Metatron's weakest argument was when he pointed out the hieroglyphs and how they read, since it is my understanding that they are read in the direction that the figures point. However, Metatron has archeologists and linguists on his team; professionals. I am an amateur and I feel sure that they addressed this issue. Kemet was the land people could live on; the black soil of Egypt where life could flourish, not the red land where only death could be found. Thank you, Metatron and your team for their careful work. The sad part is that Afrocentric arguments about Egypt seem to come from a viewpoint that Africa had no other impressive civilizations which is not true at all. It takes nothing from the incredible diversity and cultural power of the African peoples to point out that Ancient Egypt was multiethnic and a blend of many cultures of African and Asian origin.

So, I came across this quite by accident and it impressed me enough to actually like and comment. For context, I am of Egyptian origin myself and have been appalled by many a "debate" on this particular subject. You have done some of the best work I've seen on KZbin so far on this topic and it is indeed far more nuanced than the majority of simpleton's would like to admit. We are indeed a very multi-ethnic society although more so in the last 150 years or so than before. However, there are small pockets of the country that are known to locals there that are well-known to have had very little variation in their ethnicity for thousands of years (even before the Ptolemaic period) and I assure everyone here they are NOT black in the slightest. Neither in features or colour. This is further highlighted by many a Nubian who differentiate themselves from the rest of Egypt (as do people of Libyan origin in the Northwest of the country who border Libya today). Although Nubians themselves differentiate themselves from both Egypt AND Sudan (well, the rest of Sudan as Nubia originally straddled the southernmost part of Egypt and Northern most part of Sudan and thereby they differentiate themselves from the both) Also there is a significant minority of Arab/Levantine origins in the ethnicity that dates back from the late 7th century early 8th century due to migration from those places with the introduction of Islam. (Although it took approx. 600 years for the country to become a Muslim majority from it's mainly Christian and pagan traditions) There is a wide variety of 'looks' even within the same families. My own family, for instance, has blond-haired, green/blue eyed, fair-skinned people within it as well as others who you could easily mistake for Northern Indian or Southern Mediterranean. I myself have olive skin and hazel eyes while my direct brother (same mother and father) has lighter skin and (mainly) blue (but actually multi-coloured) eyes. To us this is completely normal. In fact a few years ago I did a social experiment where I showed 100 different photos of people (all from families I knew in Egypt) and asked people in the UK to guess where they were from, when, in fact, they were ALL from Egypt. Some of the answers were wild.

[@paytonthornberry1382]

It's really unfortunate that so many people still hold the notion that hair, skin and eye color immediately puts you in a certain category, like there aren't plenty of blond Italians (although mostly in the north of that country due to historical reasoning) and blonde levantines like a lot of people from Jordan and Syria who can be pretty fair haired. Not to mention people native to stereotypical white places like Ireland and Norway having little to no admixture from other countries but still having darker hair naturally.

It’s very sad, I think because our ancestors lost so much of their culture and forgot their heritage, their offspring still grieves over that loss and will insert themselves in any culture that may seem relatable or “similar” and claim it as ours as a coping mechanism. And then have the audacity to commit cultural appropriation towards these cultures and try to take away from the people of these cultures all they have and have known about their heritage. Like stealing candy from a baby. Even if those cultures are our heritage, we’ll never be Hebrew, we’ll never be Native American and we’ll never be Egyptian.

However the first people who claimed that the ancient Egyptians were black were European scholars such as Jean-Francois Champollion who deciphered the Rosetta Stone who was said to be a genius, and E.A. Wallis Budge an English Egyptologist. In the below short video Egyptologist Dr. Galit Ben Tovel states that ancient Egypt consisted of 2 races and stated that Upper Egyptians were black. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIWxZ3d9m9R6pJY

​@@metatronyt Ancient Greek Historiography reports/records that The Builders of The Pyramids are a proper subclass of nA nHsw m tA nHsw: "They say also that the Egyptians are colonists sent out by the Ethiopians, Osiris having been the leader of the colony. For, speaking generally, what is now Egypt, they maintain, was not land but sea when in the beginning the universe was being formed; afterwards, however, as the Nile during the times of its inundation carried down the mud from Ethiopia, land was gradually built up from the deposit. Also the statement that all the land of the Egyptians is alluvial silt deposited by the river receives the clearest proof, in their opinion, from what takes place at the outlets of the Nile; for as each year new mud is continually gathered together at the mouths of the river, the sea is observed being thrust back by the deposited silt and the land receiving the increase. And the larger part of the customs of the Egyptians are, they hold, Ethiopian, the colonists still preserving their ancient manners. For instance, the belief that their kings are gods, the very special attention which they pay to their burials, and many other matters of a similar nature are Ethiopian practices, while the shapes of their statues and the forms of their letters are Ethiopian; for of the two kinds of writing​ which the Egyptians have, that which is known as "popular" (demotic) is learned by everyone, while that which is called "sacred"​ is understood only by the priests of the Egyptians, who learn it from their fathers as one of the things which are not divulged, but among the Ethiopians everyone uses these forms of letters. Furthermore, the orders of the priests, they maintain, have much the same position among both peoples; for all are clean​ who are engaged in the service of the gods, keeping themselves shaven, like the Egyptian priests, and having the same dress and form of staff, which is shaped like a plough and is carried by their kings, who wear high felt hats which end in a knob at the top and are circled by the serpents which they call asps; and this symbol appears to carry the thought that it will be the lot of those who shall dare to attack the king to encounter death-carrying stings.​ Many other things are also told by them concerning their own antiquity and the colony which they sent out that became the Egyptians, but about this there is no special need of our writing anything." - The Library of History: Book III - Chapter 3.1 - 3.7 by Diodorus Siculus Further: "Since, to bear witness ourselves, during the time of our visit to Egypt, we associated with many of its priests and conversed with not a few ambassadors from Ethiopia as well who were then in Egypt; and after inquiring carefully of them about each matter and testing the stories of the historians, we have composed our account so as to accord with the opinions on which they most fully agree." - The Library of History: Book III - Chapter 11.4 by Diodorus Siculus Thus, here we have Ancient Historiography observing that both The Priest-Historians of Kamit and The Ambassaors from Ta-Seti recognize that The Builders of The Pyramids are nA nHsw.

[@HellbirdIV]

@allenbanks9034 I think it was mostly born out of America and the poor education around world history in that country. In America the collective of "black people" didn't have any shared cultural heritage that was "theirs" before landing on American shores, since black people came from many different parts of Africa and from many tribes and people groups that had no relation to one-another. We can understand that they would want a shared history that went beyond slavery, but it just didn't exist, even when you DID look at their real homelands aross West Africa. Furthermore, knowledge of the history and culture of that entire region was just never abundant in America. American culture is mostly European culture, as some 80% of the country (whites and latinos) today are of primarily European descent. Egypt, because of its historical relationship with Rome and Greece, with the Bible, and then the British Empire, is important in European history, and therefore in American history - and the fact that Egypt is pretty much the *only* African kingdom that's prevalent in European history meant that it would be the main one that black Americans learned about - and that prompted a lot of black Americans to latch onto it as "African" heritage. Some also latched on to Carthage, but that theory is much less popular and even more lame.

Great work Metatron. I believe the greatest quality of your channel is your ability to teach and train your audience to recognise and dismantle intellectual dishonesty. The dumping of facts is something any channel can do, but knowledge is useless without the cognitive tools that shield us from intellectual dishonesty and sophistry, and your mastery in the art of discourse is what elevates your channel far above most historical channels. Other historical channels will teach one facts. Yours does that, but more importantly, it also instills one with the importance of intellectual honesty and critical thinking. On a side note, I find it fascinating how much the descriptions of ancient peoples matches those of today. Southern Indians being darker than Northern ones, Greeks perceiving Germanic peoples as more blonde than them; it seems like the phenotypical reality of Eurasia has mostly stayed the same, which throws more of a wrench into these conspirational nonsense theories of entire population genetics being displaced in such dramatic fashion.

Not quite. Ancient Egypt was initially a "black" civilization; regardless of whatever state Africa finds itself in now. DNA testing of Ramesses III & his heir reveal obvious haplotype mimicry between them and Niger-Congo ethnicities, in addition to hieroglyphics & clay sculptings from the same age depicting both the martial & ruling castes (which largely overlapped, as was standard of the ages) as having skin of Nubian shades. These all come from "The New Kingdom" period, IE. The Golden Age of Egypt; feel free to fact check, since YT doesn't allow source-posting. We can go back even further than this, though, and find sources from The Early Dynastic period (the birth of Egypt as an expansive civilization) wherein the natives almost exclusively refer to their land as "Kemet' (The Black Land; The Land of The Black), and to themselves as "Kemetians" (The Black People; People of The Black Land). We can go EVEN FURTHER back, to the Pre-Dynastic Period; wherein skull analysis of the very first Pharaoh's (Narmer, Djoser, etc.) reveal them to contain "typically Negroid features"; all the way from the 1st Dynasty to the building of The Great Pyramid. In addition to this, there's also the plentiful accounts from Western sources which are pillars of history in their own right. Herodotus, deemed "The Father of History" for Western civilization, outright states "For they are black-skinned and woolly-haired, much like those Ethiopians and Colchians." in reference to The Egyptians. Or maybe Aristotle, the "Father of Western Thought" himself, who stated "those who are black are cowards, like for instance the Egyptians & Ethiopians. But those who are excessively white are also cowards, as we see in women. The complexion of courage lies between the two." In regards to the modern Copts which inhabit Egypt, the Father of Egyptology (The Study of Egypt) himself, summed it up best: "In the Copts of Egypt, we do not find any of the characteristic features of the ancient Egyptian population. The Copts are the result of crossbreeding within all of the nations that have successfully dominated Egypt. It is wrong to seek in them the principal features of the old race." - Jean Francois Champollion

It's doubly funny when he says white people didn't call themselves white in the ancient times, because it was "pre racism", then literally goes on to think Egyptians called their country "land of the black men" because their skin was black... in a region where (supposedly) that would be the norm ROFL

The idea that white Europeans "invented" racism, and prior to that people didn't acknowledge physical difference between racial groups is utterly hysterical.

What struck me in his entire "opinion" is that he started with an accusation of "lack of rigor and academic integrity" and ends his rant with asking you to shut up because you don't agree with him... In which political system that last phase is commonly used? Oh, yeah... Umberto Eco wrote about it... Metatron, thanks for speaking out loud, trying to keep the truth in the sunlight..
