We Africans know our history. We never forgot it. Egypt had kings who ruled the lands all the way to the Congo for over 150,000 years consecutively and it’s written in stone. Too much for the brain of the white man to comprehend because it might explode. Even the giants were still alive when we arrived in West Africa because of global warming. I have over 4 dynasties of the pharaohs of Egypt in my blood and I am 99.9 percent native African. No Arab or Europeans who didn’t even exist as a race when our kind were building cities of stone and writing on stone calendars or studying the stars for over 65,000 years consecutively before they passed on the knowledge. How old is NASA? We Africans are tired of white peoples validating our very existence. I respect Caucasian scholars like this intelligent gentleman. Dr Henry Clark already did all of these studies with facts only there wasn’t DNA earlier on in his time and he was denied that on his old age but they didn’t find out pharaohs to be Africans with Melanin in their skins. Next door neighbours of ancient Egyptians are still there to this day with dark burnt skin in the Sudan. How can France and Britain exist from the dawn of time and France is white and the UK is genetically black? Is such a thing even possible? Only very racist, whites supremacist idiots with very low intelligence can say such BS and abs believe it because their puny little brains can not comprehend or understand the truth even when you slap them on the face with it. Such people are too dumb and lesser evolved intellectually for us Africans to waste our energies on them. Only ignorance can be excused but not stupidity.

[@mouhalo]

@@st3019 think or research before typing bullshit , have you looked at black African kingdoms before colonial era? Have you seen the very similarities with Adrinka Simbols? Also the elephants inhabiting the grassy savannas of sub-Saharan Africa provided a source of ivory for the Egyptians, and Punt is recorded to provide them with incense, myrrh and oils. Sub-Saharan Africans had cultural similarities and relations with the Ancient Egyptians. You’ll go to some ethnic tribes and some will tell you they come from those areas, some ancient Egyptians names still exist, sone practices too all seen in black Africa and none in the north give me a break you all like to put all black Africans in one bag when talking poverty but nit picking differences when we talk about greatness.

[@st3019]

This absolutely a lie ! Ancient Egyptians had absolutely nothing to Nilo saharan people. Even Nubians were not Nilo saharan. Egyptians were the same people with ancient middle eastern and Asia Minor. There was absolutely no legacy of ancient Egyptians in subsaharan Africa. Subsaharan Africans didn’t know that ancient Egypt even existed before early 20th century when western civilization introduced it to them during colonial era. Also Egyptians and later Nubians were using chariots and wheels since at least, 1600BC . In subsaharan Africa the wheel was almost totally unknown until 19th when western colonialism introduced it to them. That proves there was absolutely no connection between those people. Do not write nonsense here!

In Ancient Rome there were plenty of tropical animals in Italy and other territories of empire. That doesn’t mean they were black Africans. What skull matched with subsaharan Africans?! Even Nubians who were dark skin have different skull with subsaharan Africans and you say Egyptians had subsaharan skull?! This is absolutely false my friend!

Basically, what Dr. Chris is saying here, is that Diodorus of Sicily was right: “They say also that the Egyptians are colonists sent out by the Ethiopians, Osiris having been the leader of the colony… 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 tol huh d 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.” - Diodorus of Sicily, Book III What didn’t Diodorus say that Christopher Ehret said? Honestly? The Ethiopians or Nilo-Saharan speakers sent a colony or colonies out. This colony carried linguistics and cultural practices that came to be shared with the native population, hence, Afro-Asiatic Egyptian was the demotic language, but the Nilo-Saharan language was sacred among the Egyptians, but commonplace among the Ethiopians. The shapes of art and burial items originated in Lower Nubia but came to be practiced later in Upper Egypt. The evidence for a priesthood in Egypt is along the southern border of Egypt and Nubia. But people legit tried to hate on Diodorus’ account, talking some nonsense about its “psuedo-history”, and had the nerve to call us “Afrocentrist” for saying he was right. Well? Now what? People suck man.

[@charlesking415]

Emberling and Gatto also concur with Siculus..."We now recognize that populations of Nubia and Egypt form a continuum rather than clearly distinct groups,” Mr. Emberling writes, “and that it is impossible to draw a line between Egypt and Nubia that would indicate where ‘black’ begins.” Dr. Maria C. Gatto Phd The American University in Cairo | AUC Department of Egyptology, Anthropology, Psychology, and Sociology University of Leicester Leicester, England As the first statement in that quotation asserts it is nothing more than Western racial animus why certain people try to dismiss all of these consistent facts and cherry pick inconsistent pieces of evidence to deny that the ancient Egypt was black as was Nubia. This is consistent with the revelation from Dr Maria Gatto posted above which confirms that pre-Dynastic Egypt started off as essentially a northern extension of Nubia which in turn was descended from earlier Saharan Nilotic pastoralist cultures.

In this article, we examine human dispersals across the Sahara through the analysis of the sub-Saharan mtDNA haplogroup L3e5, which is not only commonly found in the Lake Chad Basin (&#8764;17%), but which also attains non-negligible frequencies (&#8764;10%) in some Northwestern African populations. Age estimates point to its origin &#8764;10 ka, probably directly in the Lake Chad Basin, where the clade occurs across linguistic boundaries. The virtual absence of this specific haplogroup in Daza from Northern Chad and all West African populations suggests that its migration took place elsewhere, perhaps through Northern Niger. Interestingly, independent confirmation of Early Holocene contacts between North Africa and the Lake Chad Basin have been provided by craniofacial data from Central Niger, supporting our suggestion that the Early Holocene offered a suitable climatic window for genetic exchanges between North and sub-Saharan Africa. In view of its younger founder age in North Africa, the discontinuous distribution of L3e5 was probably caused by the Middle Holocene re-expansion of the Sahara desert, disrupting the clade's original continuous spread." _______ The Sahel belt is and was the bridge between all native ethnic African groups. Before any concept of "slavery" was even in existence. The use of that term is just another tactic but you Eurocentric shit heads, trying to erase other ethnic groups from their land.

One of the most relevant human groups in the area are Berbers who are supposed to be the descendants of this first migration back-to-Africa from the Middle East; however, the dynamics of human groups living in that area is still unclear. ** Historical events testify of many invasions, conquests and migrations by Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Jews, Spanish, and French [4], as well as the presence of autochthonous groups such as the Libyans, Moors, Gaetuli, and Numidians, among others. However, the most important event was the Arab conquest that begun during the 7th century, when North-African autochthonous Berber populations were converted to Islam ** and since then Arabic has become the official language employed in the region. This fact influenced the geographical distribution of Berber communities, which are nowadays relegated to peripheral and relict areas in a vast region extending from Mauritania to Egypt and from the Sahara desert to the Algerian and Moroccan Atlas mountainous areas [5].

For more than a millennium the land of the Nile is directed from the Greek city of Alexandria, situated on a peninsula before the coast of Egypt, a bit like New York before the coast of the US. The language spoken at the royal court and used by the royal administration is different from that spoken and understood by the overwhelming majority of the population. Although the Ptolemies were officially recognized as pharaohs by the temples and even crowned by the high priest of Memphis, although they supported Egyptian religion by subsidizing the cults and building great temples (see below, text 2), they remained fundamentally a foreign dynasty. *** Starting from 246 BC there are several native uprisings ***. During the most successful of these, all Upper Egypt revolted against Alexandria for almost twenty years (206-186 BC) under the leadership of two native pharaohs, called Hyrgonaphor (Haronnophris) and Chaonnophris.

You're missing the point. The fact that there are only a few modern human fossils of any kind found in Africa between 15-70,000 years old. The only ones are those I mentioned in my previous post. There are also the 15,000 year old Iberomaurusian fossils found in Morocco and Algeria. We have DNA from the iberomaurusians, who were Eurasians. That's the oldest DNA found anywhere in Africa. They shared the same basic genetic ancestry as the people that lived in the Caucasus Region 26,000 years ago. There were supposed to have been several mega-draughts over 100,000 years ago in East and South Africa. It likely killed off most of the modern human groups that were there. The only human types that survived in Africa appear to be Eurasians, archaic hominids, and mixtures. We know that people who were Eurasian genetically and Caucasoid biologically lived all over Africa by 40,000 years ago, except in West Africa. Caucasians likely evolved into modern humans in North Africa, Europe, and West Asia. The Mediterranean Region in general. An Homo erectus-like hominid survived in Central and West Africa until at least 11,000 years ago. There are Middle Stone Age sites in Senegal with stone tools used by Erectus. There is a 13,000 year old skull found at Iwo Eleru, Nigeria but it's not modern human. It's archaic and much like Erectus skulls. Those hominids are the recent ancestors of West Africans who have relatively large amounts of archaic admixture.

[@Sema-Tawy]

@@briggsdidnotstrapem7699 I wouldn’t either, but i read his biography and his study by the time standards doesn’t qualify him to be a historian, a writer maybe, a philosopher perhaps, I have read travels through Syria and Egypt, and i have studied French literature, the author like many of his time is making a propaganda for the French Revolution slogan which gives excuse for the French occupation under the pretext of applying Liberte, Egalite et Fraternite (just like the USA today uses the pretext of liberating Iraq from a dictator to steal their oil). Reading his notes on Egypt after spending 7 months and the amount of details regarding the nile and the lands and their measurements, the kinds of fruits and vegetables, the politics, one can easily assume that this is the work of a spy, no wonder Egypt was invaded by Napoleon 15 years later. That is just my personal opinion.

@@Sema-Tawy You did not answer my question about Goeth, I asked you specifically, do you care to answer about Goeth? before i pretend to think you do not know Goeth and, to show you how much European scholars, European philosophers could relate to his work and studies. I collect academic books, i will stay away from biography, for they are written in a political stand point, I like following scholars and academics, so it is not problematic. The conclusions of Count Volney were subsequently confirmed by Professor A. H. L. Heeren, General J. G. R. Forlong, Gerald Massey, Dr Albert Churchward, and Lady Flora Lugard. The Ethiopian contributions to culture and mythology were best stated by the Scottish Anthropologist, General J. G. R. Forlong, whom we cite. Please forgive me for I did not get your name????? Count Volney was not the first to write about Egypt, Herodotus, Herakles, Plato, Aristotle, Diodorus Siculus etc. etc. has taken notes about Africa and, not just Egypt, Napoleon was not the first to sack Egypt, just for your information, your theoretical description about someone taking notes about Egypt and, later Egypt fell into the hands of a new conqueror is old and, not new at all, I am trying to dispel you of this notion.The Cambises in the 550 BCE sacked Egypt, the Persians sacked Egypt, Greeks, Romans, Arabians etc. etc. Egypt is not Egypt no longer, Also check your dates from the old kingdom, The Kings of Egypt, Egypt has been sacked, even before the Cambises smashed them in the 550 BCE, your confessions tells me you have missed to read what i am covering right now and, you have displayed how delinquent you are in African History.

Question: Twice, I visited the village by the name of Makere, in North-West Tanzania. Later, I ran in something interesting when I read somewhere that "Makere" was one of the names of queen Nefertiti. I don't know if the people living there, or the ones that used to live there, and who named the village, were nilotic people, but it sure made me wonder if there might be a connection. Could professor Ehret please elucidate?

In regards to the Egyptians, the early Pharaohs looked the most White, which is what you'd expect for a conquering race moving into a new area. Over thousands of years, race-mixing gradually destroyed the race of creative people, who set up the Egyptian civilization. Fortunately we still have busts of many early pharaohs, some of them with blue precious stones to show that they had blue eyes. The similarity of the great architecture of Egypt to that of Greece or Rome is another clue --not just the style of the architecture, but the engineering know-how to make large temples and to move multi-ton stone blocks. There is also the lack of other equally talented races in North Africa --once the Egyptians became race-mixed that pretty much ended the great architecture in that part of the world. Finally, the DNA discovery that links the Egyptian ruling class with western European DNA should close the case for any reasonable people
