The Unknown People Who Mummified Their Dead Before The Ancient Egyptians | Timeline

In 1958, an Italian archaeologist discovered the mummified remains of a two-and-a-half-year-old boy in a cave in southwestern Libya. But this was a mummy with a difference: it was far older than any comparable examples found in Egypt.
The culture that produced the mummy were cattle herders, and occupied much of North Africa, at a time when the Sahara was a savannah. Possible links with later Egyptian culture have also been found, including the representation in rock art of dog-headed human figures (resembling Anubis), and a type of pottery decoration later found in the southern Nile valley.
The mummy of a young boy, Uan Muhuggiag was destined for controversy. He was older than any comparable Egyptian mummy and his mere existence challenged the very idea that Egyptians were the first in the region to mummify their dead. Uan Muhuggiag was no one off. The sophistication of his mummification suggested he was the result of a long tradition of mummification.
The discovery raised some profound questions. Who were the ancient inhabitants of the Sahara Desert who put the mummy there? And what influence might those people have had on the glittering civilization that later emerged in the land of the pharaohs?
This fascinating film follows Italian professor Savino di Lernia and his colleagues on a trek through the Sahara in the search for answers - a journey that leads to some astounding conclusions.

Egypt was not the first or only ancient civilization in Africa. While many have tried to dismiss any advancements in ancient Africa, the truth is there were several advanced civilizations. One such example is Timbuktu where some of the earliest Universities existed along with an extensive library.

[@SeanMichael-yt4ps]

True indeed one can only imagine how many civilizations the green Sahara bore and it's prime obviously some of those cultures were the precursor to kemet

[@ricolaw1033]

You’re confusing civilization with culture. While there have been many civilizations in Africa, none predate Kemet but several cultures do all over Africa.

In the video itself, the context of which shows amusement as something strange as a so called black mummy dating even before the annals of Egyptian mummery is something to be amused or surprised about? I’m thoroughly acquainted with the dynamics of population intercrossing and relations, as witnessed in my own genetic mixture which is composed of 8 a percentage of eight different ethnicities (African = Northern, western and eastern; Asian = Turkish and Iranian; middle eastern, central and northern Europe) so goes the skin tones from black, dark brown, light brow which seems white and is not, so the features and textures of our hair..... is what you can find among my siblings. That science cant lie? May be not the experimental data, but so may do the individuals whom because of prejudices and other motives forge lies into the findings, making them conclusive.

Sure. …. buuuuuut we also need to take a moment here to really revel in the irony of people claiming Egyptians have been “white-washed” with “rewritten history” … while gleefully erasing a whole group of people, their culture, and rewriting history for their own westernized sociopolitical views due to their ideas Africa = one certain skin color, therefor all Egyptians = that skin color because it’s located in Africa, and this documentary is somehow furthering their own biases because all they see and hear is about a certain skin color being discussed, tuning everything else out…. as if no M.E. groups never ever ever existed and that there totally isn’t a massive difference in the people and cultures on said continent. Or that no other cultures outside of the western ones have never ever studied this ancient civilization to come to the same conclusion as everyone else. I mean, it’s truly amazing to see so many comments peddling such nonsense because it really shows how people refuse to acknowledge any history or science because it doesn’t align with their own extreme views that they learned about via the internet’s extreme corners of rhetoric. It’s worth pointing those types out and ridiculing them. I mean, if the last few years are anything to go by, it’s wise for everyone in society as a whole to be very, very cautious of those peddling their beliefs rooted in nonsense that goes against science and data lol. It’s best we call that ish out and not let it continue when it’s just more extremism under the disguise of “truth”, no?

Can we not get over ourselves & spread kindness & care for each other? Instead of so easily trying to point out some kind of discord or creating some. Let us not try to find fault in our fellow man & learn to cherish our fellow man & neighbor. If we search for anything, wether it be our next door neighbor or someone on the other side of the world. Let us first search for something good & seek to be kind to others & pray for each other & yes, for even those that seem to be our enemy. I think this old world needs that right now, I really do.

@@d.b.4201 What they are regurgitating isn't much different from the racist Egyptology, white supremacy, ideologies of the past. In the pre Egyptology early days, Ancient Egypt was dismissed as a cheap black, imitation of Mesopotamia, Greece (Macedonia) was lauded as the cradle of civilization but only to findout later, the Greeks accredited Ancient Egypt as progenitor of their civilization. The racists, in haste, convened and setup Egyptology as the midwife, the conduit for their agenda to move Egypt out of Africa to justify their racist intentions towards Africans. Egypt now became a northernish European white civilization. The next wave was white Mediterranean civilization, then next, Mediterranean/Caucasian, and now it appears, from the charity of their hearts, how generous of them, they will class it as a mixed race population that sprang from deep Africa; implying whites were there, in deep Africa, in equal numbers to blacks, how ridiculous

Egypt is a country in the continent of Africa bordering the Nile. Its immediate neighbors are Sudan, and Libya.

I'd think it quite likely that the saharan culture and egyptian cultures are the same.

So it's less of a "who came first" and more of "where did it all start".

When I discovered my high school offered Latin, I begged; although beginning 6 weeks into the semester might have been an issue, the teacher gave up her lunch break to bring me up to speed. Being motivated helped, too! (No such luck w Algebra. I despised the instructor & hated the topic. Not a good combo! In fact, I think it took me until my late 30s to appreciate Math, again! Bad teachers, especially those who demean students, often cause life-long damage to their self worth & ability to learn anything related to the subject.

I would say that it should be normal piece of history: Ancient Egypt is linked to Black African people culture, as the proof has been scientifically and worldwidly acknowledged during the UNESCO January 1974 Cairo Symposium, held in Egypt, on "The peopling of Ancient Egypt and the deciphering of meroitic scriptures".Ancient Egyptians did invent all the features of their culture out of nothing, the first roots of their languages and cultural practices should be found in neibourghing Black communities....It seems to make sense...common sense I mean.

So let’s go back in history, the Assyrians and Arabs conquered Egypt after many invasions and Pharaoh Taharqa died in battle. Arabs take power and after this- North Africa is slowly islamised.

THE minister of egyptian antiqueties Zahi Hawas Said last year that the Origins of the egyptian civilization clearly originated in Africa, he further says that these were many different African tribes forming Egypt and later on came THE migration from West asia. Just look att THE pharao Menes statue and youll see that he has a typically African phenotype. In THE 60s there was a group of black egyptians coming to America but America didnt allow them to identify as black egyptians but only as arabs even when its a lie. These egyptians protested againgst the American government in the matter willing to be identified as black egyptian. Go tell Them that their egyptian ancestors aint egyptian, go tell Them that they aint from Egypt. Leave African history alone its non of your buissness to dictate another people's history-- your ancestors did enough and now eveeubpdy are confusee.

Jelijah Jai this tells it all! They love to talk about a Hamite but hey...that includes Mitsrayim (Egypt)! “And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan. And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came the Philistines,) and Caphtorim. And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboiim, even unto Lasha. These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭10:6-20‬ ‭KJV‬‬

[@mikeaskme3530]

I dont understand all the speculation going on in this video, on one hand you have archaeologist wondering about the "Black" mummy child, and how it may relate to Egyptian mummification techniques. Then you have other archaeologist asking about the Sahara and who the "mummy" child's people may have been. Here is a novel thought, at one point in the Sahara you had groups of people connected by a vast inland sea, the fish, hunted and traded with one another. Then at some point the Sahara grew to arid for large scale human habitation, so the people moved. Some went North, some went south, others went South West, and others went North East into the head waters of Nile, the great lakes region of Africa and down the Nile. It is no mystery as to who his people were, so why beat around the bush? The video lost me when the archaeologist went on to describe all how black people from the south moved into the Sahara and white people from Near East migrated into the Sahara, right then and there is proof that archaeology holds fast to its dogma and Eurocentric ideals. We are to believe that "dark" skinned Africans ("black") people managed to walk out of Africa into the Near east and skirt the coast line Asia into Australia but some how managed to skip a large portion of their continent until about 10k years ago? Now i know this video is not up to date and does not have the latest Genomic testing that shows lighter skin only evolved about 8 thousand years ago, but come on how about a little common sense here? The ending of the video is why many, many many groups of POC have a huge issue with Europeans interpreting their history, instead of saying what is glaring obvious they tap dance around the subject. Clear evidence shows where the culture and customs come from, archaeological evidence tells you where the first ruler of a United Egypt came from and yet they refuse to say it. This is what breeds the mistrust in Europeans their refusal to acknowledge the evidence that their science and their methods present to them, they always hedge their bets.

@@kkjppt5359 even you took cows and sheep arriving at later date, it still would not explain how animal husbandry was quick to take, in my opinion and a lot of other's opinion including some archeologist anthropologist, animal husbandry was not all that uncommon in Africa. So how did pastoralism get started in Africa? Currently most archaeologists think wild ancestors of today’s domestic cattle, sheep and goats were first domesticated in the “Fertile Crescent” of the Middle East. Archaeological research shows herding began to appear in and spread from what is now Egypt around 8,000 years ago. By 5,000 years ago, herders were burying their dead in elaborate monumental cemeteries near a lakeshore in Kenya. Two millennia later, pastoralist settlements were present across a wide part of East Africa and by at least 2,000 years ago, livestock appear in South Africa. It is my contention that when people think of the Fertile Crescent, they automatically think that the people that were there 10k years ago, are the same people there today, I personally do not believe this. I think the people that were there 10k years ago, are from the people we find in North East Africa from the great lakes region all the way into Egypt, so animal husbandry was picked up rather quickly because they all shared some cultural connections. This is my opinion and i believe it will bare out eventually. Because animal husbandry spread so quickly through out Africa, this also shows that the people living in Egypt both lower and upper spread southward and westward with their cattle looking for better grazing, and only later ( for unknown reasons) did they become isolated from each other. theconversation.com/ancient-dna-is-revealing-the-origins-of-livestock-herding-in-africa-114387 link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10963-010-9042-2

[@TheEarthangel1]

@@mikeaskme3530 I agree. I’ve just started an MA in research methods in archaeology. My dissertation project is the cross cultural and ethnic identity during the Holocene period 10,000 years ago during the green Sahara. What you said about migration out of Africa and the obvious migration that likely happened in Africa has always been my thinking. The professor who supervises my research is American and white. He classified himself as an Africanist. Meaning that he takes an African-centred perspective and has worked with many important African archaeologists based in Africa. His specialism is ancient West Africa, the Holocene period of the Green Western Sahara. When I asked him why academic archaeologists are reluctant to just state the obvious, his response was a) they feel that it’s controversial to say it, b) it might be seen as racist and c) no one in the mainstream is interested in hearing about that. David Mattingly who features in the documentary has written and collaborated with archaeologists who are are finding new evidence that is turning what has previously been assumed by Europeans on its head. Look him up!

[@NGT4LIFE]

Well yes that's what makes perfect sense...but they keep denying it,and claim ancient Egyptians were Mediterranean,middle Eastern and Eurasian,despite what the ancient greeks and Romans said about the original ancient Egyptians. Of course ancient Egypt was invaded by outsiders just like the rest of north Africa which changed the race of the populations there...but for some reason this is completely ignored. And of course the fact that Nubian kingdoms were already established before ancient Egypt,and the ancient Egyptians having so much in common with the Nubians is also ignored,and in some cases denied,makes it frustrating for those who know the truth. Unfortunately most people who write African history were also the oppressors of Africans. So it's kinda like the Nazis teaching us Jewish history.

Also Europeans had culture to keep the wealthy inside because they thought darker skin meant you worked outside. More white = less work outside. The Egyptians i doubt weren't that much off as well. In time humans as a whole got white due to lack of sun. People in Greenland have had these effects.
