It has only recently been discovered that rice bran absorbs UV light, jasmine helps repair DNA, and lupine lightens skin.

We don't want to be whyte and reject the Neanderthug culture. We ARE the American pop culture. You are an Arab transplant whose ancestors invaded Kemet around 70 AD. All that coptic crap is irrelevant to a civilization that was founded 1000's of years ago and left evidence of their appearance and identity from the white Nile in Uganda, to the blue Nile originating in Ethiopia. The E1B1A DNA dominates the region. Kemet is Egypt's original name and it means black land. Like their historic ties and family bonds with Ethiopia and Kush. The Arab phenotype is a hybrid and excels at nothing on the world stage. A bland mixture of chromosomes that produces less than spectacular people, who want to be European, but are rejected to 2nd class citizen status. The day is soon approaching when the dark skinned African people who are indigenous to the entire continent until the full scale invasion by Europeans in the late 1800's .. with automatic weapons, will rise up and reclaim what is rightfully theirs. The Boers/Afrikaaners and Chinese will be evicted soon enough. It's already beginning. The middle east and Arabian desert are your true ancestral lands. Arid sands and dust just like Kemet has degraded to. The most lush, bountiful lands and territories were inhabited by everyone BUT Europeans. They couldn't build ships fast enough to flee from that frozen POS, into the historic paradises that darker skinned people are indigenous to. We know who always wins in any fair competition against black people. Looking at the image of the great black rulers and gods who inspired the sphynx tells the world the truth. Shattering the noses, flooding tombs and destroying Alexandria to subvert the truth only bought time. There will be more discoveries like Saqqara and it's untampered black images and history. The truth always emerges. Allowing Arabs to FINALLY claim European identity and status is another pathetic stalling tactic. Neanderthug birthrates are non existent. The Arab spring fiasco was staged to force wannabe whytes to immigrate to Europe .. who desperately needs low skilled and wage workers to maintain the economy that free black labor established centuries ago. It's always been about race and black people. American born black people will be receiving our long overdue reparations for slavery very soon, and the world follows our lead. The other great civilizations of Africa which were pillaged and destroyed by colonizers like Great Zimbabwe, Benin, Mali, and Timbuktu will continue to reveal their true past and achievements. And we know they won't be attributed to inferior olive skinned European wannabes. Hope you like sand and sun .. your historic homelands. Always bet on black.

I’ve visited Egypt and this temple. I can’t say it was my favourite but then how can you choose? There are so many incredible sites to see it’s impossible to say which is best. Denderra is amazing, so is philae, and Karnak. The step pyramid is fantastic. The Giza plateau, temple of Luxor . Even sitting on the shore in Alexandria looking at the site of where the lighthouse was is a feeling I’ll never forget, just knowing the age and history of the city and all the famous people that must have visited there. Egypt is far and away the most incredible country I’ve visited.

Absolutely awe-inspiring. Thanks for posting.

More black people. The ancient Egyptians in this region of southern Egypt were identical to nubians

[@NeptunesLagoon]

Definitely not, and congoids didn’t even know that Egypt existed… 😮

Karnak.. Thanks a million for this video. The best I've seen of Abu Shimbel. Ramses supposedly found this site on his first trip to Nubya. What an unbelievable monumental achievement!!

[@michealdominic7788]

Aincient Egyptians were black

[@Aaron.]

No

[@boricuaalma2176]

Yes, they were... and some still are! there's a lot of Egyptians, and other Middle easterners/Arabs who have Sub-Saharan African (Black) blood in them! PEOPLE LIE! but DNA is the ultimate TRUTH! there's a video I watched where they did the DNA of several people who are "ARAB" (Middle Eastern) Syrian, Lebanese, Egyptian, Albanian & Yemeni and EACH ONE OF THEM! had a percentage of "Black/African Blood" in them... 4 out of the 5 were IN SHOCK! but the one said "HE EXPECTED IT!" he just didn't know how much...

THANK YOU MANUEL ,🤗 for all your labor’s in sharing this with us 👍😎💚💚💚

[@geograph-ology4343]

A great job again explaining historical sites! It greatly expanded what I saw when I visited..but I am truly down away by the lack of tourists when you were there. The lines into both temples were so long that we only had time to enter Rameses' temple and not his wife's. Keep up the great work!

[@skwoods7986]

I really appreciated the rendering of where the original temples were and where they are now. Helped me understand the site.

[@janiekcarney5482]

If I went to Egypt I wouldn’t be able to see all things you have in your videos. I’m too old to go now. So glad I found your channel.

[@barbaracrain2975]

This is unreal how they were built!! Thank you!!

[@sangeeta816]

Visited Egypt in February, 2024, specially I was in Abu Simbel on 22nd February and watched the sun rays in the sanctum of the temple. It was my childhood dream

[@elainaworsley470]

I've been here and you gave so much information it was amazing. The place to me has a wonderful feeling to it. Like you feel they are still there watching you walk around their temple. 😊. Great video.

[@PamelaTitterington]

I have always been fascinated by Egypt ,but never been and you do such an excellent way ,that I am learning much. It's so interesting,and your knowledge is impressive,thankyou 👍🏻

Stunning mind boggling acomplishments of man....first to build these wonderful monolithic temples, and second, to move these incredible temples to their current location. Unbelievable!

Looking at it from the beginning I never would have guessed any of that had been moved. Wow

I have always been enthralled by the Ancient Egyptian civilization and the marvels of its architecture. As a small child the pyramids terrified me. I even had nightmares the first time I saw them on tv. I dreamt I went inside and was trapped.

[@bigantplowright5711]

I was lucky enough to take a night flight down to Aswan and was at the temple when the sun rose over lake Nasser. Incredible experience.
