[@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

[@Africankingson]

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. One side feels compelled to insult black Africa, making claims that its history doesn't exist. Then, the other side wants to insult Europeans and claim all cultures on Earth as black. It's beyond pathetic. I'm very much tempted to make my first video on this ignorance of extreme Afrocentrics and Eurocentrics.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

[@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.

As an Egyptian, thank you. You thoroughly debunked the core arguments that Afrocentrists make. I greatly appreciate the effort you put to create this video. I have dealt with Afrocentrisim off and on throughout my life. However, I feel like lately, for whatever reason, Afrocentrism has become 10x worse.

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.

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.

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.

[@bschneidez]

Have these people never heard of Ethiopia? Sure it's not the brightest crayon in the box these days, but talk about a deep and rich history... How about the Gold Coast? It is literally called that because of its wealth and power (sure it was from selling slaves, but they are hardly the only ones who did that)... They need to actually learn their own culture instead of stealing everybody elses

[@EPUEPUEPUEPU]

​@@metatronyt there is ample things missing from this subject matter , where these back and forth videos are selective. A better resolution on this topic is an actual discussion. For example your statement on the marshes was taking out of context. The location of the marshes was in lower numbia. So if those people were in between the nubians and the Egyptians , then that would mean the color description would be of upper Egyptians which is from Aswan and up and those people are much darker then tan. I do feel you have some bias in this subject matter however I do feel with a good discussion you will see things you didn't see before.

[@BreweryGoblin]

but the word used was marCHes not marSHes. It's specifically used to denote the border lands between countries, for example the Welsh Marches, the lands on either side of the England/Wales border. .@@EPUEPUEPUEPU

[@EPUEPUEPUEPU]

@@BreweryGoblin Sir we have the name of the location it's in lower nubia ( Sycaminus ) sir, not in Egypt, So the people that he was describing as Egyptians were Upper Egyptians from aswan back. Upper Egyptians are darker then Tan. This is why the Roman's depicted them with dark colors. Edit :You are right its marches not marshes thats just my sloppy grammar.

[@eponaalbion]

In medieval Europe, a march or mark was, in broad terms, any kind of borderland, as opposed to a national "heartland". More specifically, a march was a border between realms or a neutral buffer zone under joint control of two states in which different laws might apply. In both of these senses, marches served a political purpose, such as providing warning of military incursions or regulating cross-border trade, @@EPUEPUEPUEPU

Ok im loving the debate between you and Kielma...I thnk the video he released today put out some very good points..Why dont you watch his latest video and make a response to it..id love to see your response..He made some very good points on the Kemetic beginnings being from the South and that is where the culture started..So address his latest..Cant wait to see that.

He commented on another video (a video about this one) saying he'd make follow-up videos in the future. So I'm sure he *will* adress it. But it's probably going to be a big ride, because Keulmika's rebuttal lasts more than an hour. In the meantime, I'll be interested to see one as well.

[@MrTimothy87]

@ogun9645 I completely agree that's why I'm interested in seeing what he has to say in response..I seriously doubt he does respond or if he does anything that would address what K said..

[@CarloNassar]

Hey, I actually found out he did a livestream about a week ago, and he said he'd make another response to Kuelimika AND Mr. Imhotep in one video. He also said he didn't use all the material he gathered for this topic, so yeah. I'll give you guys a timestamp. kzbin.infoUVQTIMdKNC8?feature=shared&t=1753

If you look in primarily in only one direction then you'll come up with the results of Metatron. 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.

​@@metatronyt Thus, Ancient Historiographers have been aware that The Autochthones of kmt comprise a colony of so-called "Ethiopians." This is consistent with The Foundations of kmt being located within tA Smaw [viz, Land of The Reeds] a.k.a. Upper Egypt nowaday: viz, wAset [Luxor].

@@mystic22g4 keep in mind that the word black used during the times of Napoleon are not used in the same way as today. Even if the term black was used would be odd. Do you believe in DNA science or not? I'm just curious because a lot of people don't believe DNA is accurate.

this comment is being made at 27:50 so ignore if you refer to this later in the video but i was under the opinion/impression that DNA research has been undertaken which proves the current day Egyptians are matched to those which built the tombs and other structures of the valley of kings i cant say which documentary i got this from but it is a valid point of interest i believe. also thank you for the video and the history lesson much appreciated.

[@sacbeme]

That's not true. Not sure where you got this _DNA research_ from but there's no such DNA study that proves ancient egyptians _(who existed closer to the time of the construction of the pyramids than to us)_ DNA is matched with current day Egyptians.

[@sapsaniy703]

A matter really close to my heart as both as a historian with a specialization on Roman Egypt, and a resident of a country where this kind of historical misrepresentation is widespread(Kazakhstan specifically, but common over all Central Asia). I empathize with people who feel that their history is erased and their contribution to human civilization didn’t matter, but we must clearly draw the line at twisting the historical record to fit a specific narrative. Thank you for your work!

@@Aldebaran... It differs, practically every kazakh nationalist will tell you that Genghis Khan is a kazakh, in more extreme cases there will be people that are convinced that it was the Kazakhs that defeated Napoleon in 1812.
