What Hieroglyphics Say About the Women of Ancient Egypt

The priests of Amun held an elevated position in ancient Egypt. But modern archaeologists were stunned to discover that a group of women were even more important - they were dubbed 'The Wives of Amun.'

[@XtoCee]

Yes, because women are more patient in comparison to men, possess higher attention spans in comparison to men which enables them to excel in academic/knowledge-based economies. When females are embraced by society and have equal rights - it permits two sources of revenue to exist considering both genders are in the workforce. Therefore, permitting the government to collect more wealth in taxes which can be utilised to build more schools, roads, hospitals, etc.

Yup. Nobody was white back then. Everyone originated from Africa and were different shades of black. People up north were always black as well. There’s absolutely no way for a persons skin color to completely change from black to white due to climate. Eskimos were black as well. White skin came from a lack of two essential genes which lead to depigmentation in the skin. They went from East Asia to Northern Europe because they couldn’t survive in that type of climate. Then they began breeding with the the indigenous hunter gatherers around 7500 years ago 5500 BCE. After that they went down to Greece thousands of years later. Regardless, Egypt was always an African nation. One of the most African African nations in history. Too bad many people think they were neither black nor white when nearly everyone was black. Even early Greeks, Chinese, and Arabs

When the cast of Exodus: Gods and Kings-Ridley Scott's upcoming Biblical epic-was announced a lot of people made the complaint that it was overwhelmingly white, a move they decried as both inaccurate and racist. They were right. Unfortunately, in response a lot of people have peddled another historical (and racist) error: that the ancient Egyptians were black and that modern Egyptians are imposters. One thing that really irritates me is when I see people making bogus revisionist claims about ancient societies in order to pigeonhole them into one race or another, ignoring the fact that modern conceptions of race didn't even exist until the 19th century. Most of the time, this is done from a very Eurocentric point of view, such as in most Biblical films, where all the Semitic-speaking, Middle Eastern characters are portrayed as white Europeans. Which is how you get ridiculous casting like this, where an English actor is cast as a Hebrew-speaking Canaanite:Now, Christian Bale's a fine actor and I'm sure he'll give the role all he's got, but the role really should have gone to a Middle Eastern or Jewish actor. It's not as if there aren't plenty to pick from in Hollywood (or abroad): Aki Avni, Oded Fehr, Tony Shalhoub, Alexander Siddig, Ali Suliman, Said Taghmaoui, etc... The issue isn't that they exist; the issue is that casting directors naturally assume a white/European actor whenever casting any "normal" role and because of the prevalence of Biblical mythology in our culture (which is white-dominated) it is presumed that Biblical characters were "normal" and therefore white. Which is obviously untrue if you actually look at the etymology of most Biblical names and the cultural context of the stories themselves. However, while the tendency usually is to whitewash historical peoples, the opposite also sometimes occurs. There is an increasing tendency I've noticed for some people, for example, to re-envision all of the ancient societies of the Old World as not simply non-white, but specifically "black." Putting aside for a moment the fact that within Africa itself "black" is a largely meaningless term (there's more genetic variety within Africa's "black" population than the rest of the world combined), this is just simply false. The samurai were no more black than they were white. And neither were the ancient Egyptians.

[@WickedFelina]

Depends on the time period and dynasty. In the late kinigdom period, Egypt fell and Nubia, who had long admired Egypt's culture imitating their pyramid tombs and gods, took over for about 90 yrs. It was then that the border of Egypt and Nubia was erased. Prior to this you will not on all temple walls the women were pinnk or yellow and the men red or orange. Men were red and orange because theri jobs were in the sun and women stayed inside. This goes all the way back. It wasn't until the laster period do we find 8% sub-Saharan African in the admixture. Before that little if none. This was discoved after unearthing a graveyard two years ago that went all the way back to the 5th dynasty. The DNA showed that the people were related to Western Italians, Greeks, Turkey, Balkins, Ancient Cannan or the Levant, Jordan, Assyria and Persia.. These of the fertile crescent were the first Eyptians and domesticated cows. DNA has discovered cows were domesticated for the first time in present day Iran which was Persia. In later times afther Christianity, Islam created the Caliphate wich was a whold wide war that took over all contries surroundeding the Mediterraian, the Levant, Turney, Syria, Arabia, and into India. They brought with them the Qur'an which teachings insisted that the only way to understand it was to Master Arabic. So many languages were lost unlike Christianity which translated their book into the toungue of the people. Unile Christianity, it was not spread by war but my missionaries. Islam began the African slave trade which killed over 200 million Africans. The Trans Atlantic (who were africans that lost tribal wars therefore, were broght to the coast by the winners of the war, other Black Africans to be sold to the world and traded for items Africa did not have or could ot make, which as mostly - guns. So, today, Egyptians have 8% Sub Saharan blood. Since this tomb was from a later Dynasty that would be the reason. Much older tombs, not only did they appear white, but had blonde hair. Some Egyptians as well as Greeks had blonde and red hair. This was not uncomon in those contries. Egype borders Palestine or Ancient Canaan. It is a walk over. Plus, Africa was once connected to Italy. The Mediterranian countries were darker than upper Europe but lighter than those who lived nearer to the Equator. It is the fact that our bodies were made to produce more melanin the closer we got to the equator in order to produce the right amount of Vitamin D. Too much let in, it cannot be produced and birth defects and other health disorders developed. Too little, the same thing happened. So, the body adjusted itself. It is no wonder that the original Egyptians (according to the earlier paintings on Egyptian tombs and the statues of Heminu and teh Scribes were either white or had an orange tan. Look up these statues. All satues of the 4th and 5th dynasty all had inlaid blue eyes of quartz, so did Neferititi. The earliest statues from Egypt pre-dynastic are small and made of gold. Each and every one has stones made into eyes and the are all blue. Similar to Ancient Sumeria who also had statues depicting themselves with blue eyes. In Der El Medina there was a city built for the tomb builders of the Valley of the Kings. A real treasure trove of history was unearthed. In it were pottery shards with writng all over them. These were the "Post it Notes" of the day. Everything we do and complain about, they did too! There was one which had a poem that revealed a lot as it is what historians look for when looking for the truth to verify this or that piece of history is real: The poem was written by a young man who went to the lake with his lady love. He thought her nude body in the moonlight touched him so deeoply he wrote about it. It read: how beautiful she looked naked in the moonlight with her white breasts bouncing on the water's surfance... " This was a "Tell" because women's breasts were completely covererd in the daytime to protect them from the sun. So, the rest of them tanned slightlya so their white breasts stood out like white, luminescent moons in its light. Sumeria is older than Egypt and a lot of things like Astrology, Astronomy and building pyramids which they callled Ziggurats in Ur, Sumer and Babylon. These were the precursers to the pyramids we know today and mysteriously appear in the Americas, except the tops, as in Ziggurats are flattened so they could safrice up to 6,000 people a day or flay them alive my removing their skin while alive. Things were different before the Spanish Conquestadors hit the shores of the Americas, took over and are predominently the people who live there today along with teh Nazi's who escaped Germany and took boats to South America where they set up socialist goverments. Nazi's are socialist the name means "National Socialist Workers Party." Oh, how little we truly now about history! Have studied Egypt since age 11 and those little facts. Egypt when thought the biggest change when the Saraceb Knignts entered and demanded you convert or die. These were the people that brought Buckwheat to Europe. Europe in turn named the wheat Sarrazin or Saracen Wheat because the shell was dark like the skin of the Egyptians. Saracen was considered a derrogatory word in the middle ages and precurser to the world today which cannot be said. Sarrazins were Black and you will find many in Hati with either the first, last or both named Sarrazin in honor of their heritage as Egyptians. I myself, am related so I know a lot more about this. I am related on my mother's side to the Original Egyptians of old and the modern day Egyptians by my father's side.

In Somali language FGM is called ‘Gudniinka Fircooniga’ which literally translates to ‘The Phaoronic circumcision’. Limb proportions, genetic, cultural clothing and linguistic connections are a rarity to have coincide at once. The fact the somali people do like none other before is a ground breaking phenomenon. Arabs and somali's share some similarities due to the migration of proto-horn africans migrating into the eurasia (the eurasians ancestor today) but the nails bent when the stark differences between native africans and arabs are noted in these "clusters" You will never find a somali, southern sudanes, north egyptian and ancient egyptian in the same study. This is to avoid noting the closeness of somalis to ancient egyptians. They don't have to be somali, they could've been afar or beja, but they were the modern HORN africans. Skull isn't arab *enough, there are features that are solely horn african. The limb proportions are endemic to horn africa. Somalis are *identical to badarians; the ancient, ancient egyptian race Problem is why do egyptologist avoid this connection but jump to the shallowest arab similarity. There's a reason the paintings have been changed, testing on mummies are closed or fabricated (the study done this year) and language ONLY tied to coptic and arabic, although both are by products of horn africans and outer sources...

Some were people of Kush and they were used in the Pharaoh's fighting force, but the majority were not sub Saharan African. Now I am related to BOTH sides of this issue and I could hope on both trains and beilieve either one. My surnname is Egyptian. I can only go by the DNA evidence and the actual archaeological evidence which shows that they look more like people of the Levant and had blue inlaid eyes. Look up statues of ancient Egyptian scribes and the Architect of the Great Pyramid. Also, Ra-Hotep and Norfret and their statues found in their tombs. Egypt is in the upper right corner of Africa so it is very easy for tha area to be settled by people of the Levant, Greece, Turkey, etc. I am not basing ANYTHING on lies but on DNA and Archaeological evidence. I have been studying Ancient Egypt since I was 11. Remember, you have to take note of where your sources are coming from. If they have a bias, that ALL Africa must be Black then they are basing their evidence on that. I had no bias on what Egypt was. I always believe that the people of Egypt were who they were. I have no bias according to what skin color they should or should not be. I don't care. Not caring and going with the evidence, is the only way to study anything. It seems that you feel you are raised to a higher platform if they are the same color as you? However, if you look at the sandels of King Tut and the boats found in tombs you will find some pretty nasty stuff. Egyptians painted everyone from each country differently. None looked like Egyptians. They used a stylized method. The people of Cush, were drawn and sculpted differently that the people of Egypt. They did not look the same. The evidence lies in the potrayals they Egyptians did themselves of themselves and of others. I'd leave you links but this post won't show. I go by science (DNA) and Archaeological evidence (also science) alone. I have no bias and have relatives of African descent in my family. So I hold only to the scientific truths of this issue. I lose nothing if the evidence proves that ALL Egyptians show that they came from closer to the Equator where skin color developed darker. Our ancestors looks as they do because of where on the planet they evolved. Those who evolved closer to the Equator, have darker skin pigmentation as you move further away, the less skin pigmentation. Melanin, and this is the real issue here, is formed in the body to prevent birth defects and for our general health. If you live close to the Equator and have light skin then too much UV rays get into the body and the body cannot form Vitamin D properly, thus forming health issues. If you live far away from the Equator and have dark skin pigmentation then UV rays cannot pentatrate and birth defects develop and you suffer from health issues. No body is better or worse, it has to do with how our ancestors adapted according to how far or how close they lived to the Equator. Also, what food they ate and what terrain they moved through. This world is full of hate now more than ever because of such a stupid issue as skin pigmentation and that has to do with how close to the Equator you lived. Now that is a silly thing to feel better than or be less than another person isn't it? It is certainly not what God looks at when he weights your heart on the day of judgment in the Great Hall against the feather of Maat? Is is NOT the color of one's skin but the content of one's character a GREAT man once said. I live by that.

@The Prince of Kush Everything below Egypt when referring to Ancient times is called "Sub-Saharan African. Anybody who has studied Egypt refers to it this way. Nubian were drawn by Ancient Egyptians as having short Afros, large lips and black, not brown skin. Egyptians differentiated between themselves and other people also, there are many horrible, painful and disgraceful depictions of Nubians as slaves. In truth, and no one wants to admit this because everybody wants to be Egyptian, that these people were in a classic sense -Racists with a capital "R." Sad but true. Egyptians today do not consider themselves nor their ancestors as Sub Saharan or Black. Those are the Muslims of whom I know. Good people, but do not consider Black Africans as the true Egyptians. However, do you know who is? The Coptic Christians. Coptic is Greek word like Isis, Osiris, Horus, etc. Coptic means Egyptian. When the Muslims invaded Egypt, the demanded conversion to Islam or death. Egyptians were obligated by pain of death to change their language Demotic (meaning script or written Egyptian rather than hyroglyphic which is pictoral). When Christian missionaries came to Egypt, they did not nor ever did, demand anyone converting change their native tongue. That is why Champelion, the translator of the famed "Rosetta Stone" that was written in Greek, Hyroglyphic and Demotic Egyptian was deciphered. It was the Coptics who retained their spoken and written language from ancient times. They are the ones being beheaded by The Muslim Brotherhood after the so called Arab Spring which was intended to change a secular nation who appreciated and kept safe their ancient past to Orthodox Islam. Islam demands (& I own 13 different Qur'an from all over the world and The Hadiths, the sayings and doings of the prophet - I study All religions, ancient and contemporary) Demands that ALL writings, relics, temples, statues and artifacts of any other religion (ancient Egyptian included) be destroyed. This is happening all over the world. The Muslim Brotherhood was taken out of presidential office (Muhammad Morisi), sadly, once Egypt had the highest number of Christians of any Islamic country. After the beheadings and the continued terrorist attacks, there won't be any left. These, the Coptics are the true Egyptians and ONLY have married into each other and NOT other nationalities or religions. As Christians, they do not want to marry into Islam because of the demand of convert or die and female genital mutilation - look that one up. It is the pride the majority of the Egyptians have retained that we have the artifacts of their ancient peoples today though, most Egyptians, when finding ancient artifacts that tell the tales of the truths of Ancient Egypt, sell them on the Black market even Dr. Heads. We have no idea what we lost. Possibly, as my mind isn't closed, there might be verifiable proof, that indeed the ancient or pre-dynastic Egyptians who might have called themselves by a name we do not know (we know Kemet which translates as "The Black Land" referring to the soil left from the annual flooding of the Nile and left unusually fertile land). That might prove your theory, but the artifacts might have been lost. We do have pre-dynastic statues that are gold with blue eyes that resemble Ancient Sumeria. The Egyptians got Astrology, Astronomy, writing and many sciences from them. Then again, there might be an even older civilization. Because Africa is dry, it preserves artifacts and bones. Europe because of very wet conditions and constant building and rebuilding has destroyed it's ancient past. The oldest artifact in the world was found in Germany despite this. It was a Lion Man carved out of Mammouth tusk or ivory. It was dated to over 40,000 yrs old. Egypt is known for their part animal part human God's and Goddesses. You will like this, although it has been proven Osiris was originally an Assyrian harvest God brought to Egypt by trade, Isis or her real name Eset or A set pronounced Esee or Asee (in Egyptian if it is a female name, the "T" is not pronounced) Isis who is depicted with a throne on her head, later on merged with Hathor the older of the two Goddesses in Egypt took on her solir disc and horns. However, in Kush, the throne is female where the King sits. Isis or Aset/Eset most likely originated in Kush. After merging with Hathor the goddess of love and beauty, became the most beloved Goddess in the known world especially Italy that was once connected to Africa.

I never said nor have never been told or believed that the Sudan was Sub Saharan Africa. Many Africans from Egypt and up the Nile are mixed with Arabs. That is why they appear differernt even though their skin is very dark. There is a small island off of the east side of Africa where so many people from so many diffferent nations for thousands of years stopped at to during trading by ocean, that their skin is dark but every person you will meet there, their features are different. North Asian to South Aisian and other countries in between. It is an amazing Island. The Island of Pate where all three regions Europe, Arabia, The Fertile Crescent, Middle East and Asia intersect during world trading of goods. Each of these men were tested for DNA because this is a microcosm of people of the entire world. What was found that everyone in the world is related to the same ancestor and "Adam" so to speak, who because he was the strongest warrior, best hunter was able to get the most wives and father the most children. His DNA was survival of the fittest, and his genes were the fittest. His DNA marker is at the bottom of the tree which means he fathered us all. Our bodies - modern man has the same body type - NOT Neanderthal. We are all related to the same people and no matter how dark the skin of any African, the palms of the hands and soles of the feet as well as inside the mouth, our insides, there is no trace of high pigmentation. Why? Because melanin developed over hundreds of thousands of years depending on how far away our ancestors lived from the sun. More melanin was to protect the body from UV rays. Too many UV rays, the body cannot produce Vitamin D an increasingly more important vitamin that has proven to prevent birth defects and stave off diseases. We need it and we need it in the right amounts too. If you live farther from the Equator, you have less melanin as less is needed. Too little sun, less UV rays so the body needs to be lighter in color to allow more UV rays in to prevent these diseases. Too much UV or too little Vitamin D will not be produced in the body. It isn't because one body or degree of skin pigmentation is better or worse than the other, it is just where our ancestors lived, what they ate and what terrain they moved over which caused us to look differently. "We come from different worlds, we are the same." We have become in recent years more and more obsessed with racial superiority and we need to stop and realize we are all children of the same earthly father and of the same God. Then, we will live in peace and not have to prove this or that so our neighbor gives us respect. You deserve RESPECT PERIOD! No matter what your ancestors did or did not do. The Ancient Egyptians were cruel to their own people and let the people in higher positions off scott free. One death popular to them was impaling them on a stake where they would die slowly. So, were your ancestors the ones who died on the stake and suffered under Egyptian rule, made a slave under them or were you the person who enslaved or impaled innocent poor people on the stake? No civilization is perfect. No ancestor is perfect. You will find good and bad, smart and stupid, poor man and King. It is who YOU are that matters. YOU are important and what is in your heart and mind. As Dr. King said "The content of one's character!" These are the MOST important words given to an undeserving peoples (all of us, all races) and LOOK what we have done to it! We have not listened at all.

[@ElenaEvee]

To everyone complaining that Egyptians were either white or black, they were neither. The Egyptians were around at the same time that mesopotamia was flourishing. Egypt is very very close to it. Egyptians look closest to modern day arabs then, than black or white people. You may say that the paintings make them look darker, wrong. Men and women Egyptians were painted differently to tell them apart in hieroglyphics. Men were painted red it because they were considered more important, and the women's were usually left the same color as the stone. Just because they're on the continent of Africa doesn't mean that they're black. You have to look at the migration, and what was going on back then. Just as Russians share the same border as China but they don't look Chinese. The Ancient Egyptians were a civilization for 3000 years. And as invaders and more people join the country they're bound to change the way they look over time. When the nubians invaded and bred, the people were most likely darker for generations. When the Romans conquered Egypt and people intermingled, they probably got lighter. It depends on what is going on at the time. I personally believe that it was all mixed considering geographical placement is between so many countries. There is text on Egyptian woman had having very pale skin and then there are statues of women with Afros. In the end it isn't either one. But one thing for sure is that they were NOT pale white. So many years on that continent, in the Sun, nobody will be pale. Everyone has a tan.

Stuart Tyson Smith writes in the 2001 Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, "Any characterization of race of the ancient Egyptians depends on modern cultural definitions, not on scientific study. Thus, by modern American standards it is reasonable to characterize the Egyptians as 'black', while acknowledging the scientific evidence for the physical diversity of Africans”

Lol, this is so wrong. As someone who majors Egyptology I genuinely laugh at dilettante conclusions this clip suggests. First and foremost, great wife of Amon was more of a ritual position than administrative and her prominent place in all the murals and reliefs is just due to egyptians' great piety and belief in their gods.

[@MartialAmos]

+mark daniels Yes, I know the language. How would I be able to study the culture otherwise? I would really love to see the faces of all of our greatest egyptologists from almost 200 years of existing of the discipline. Imagine that one prick who has no common sense, who is saying that there is no such thing as "greekologist" and "Americologist" tells them that they don't exist. You are just picking a non-existing word instead of saying "historian" which is in a lot of senses very similar. Fuck, I don't even know where to start humiliating you, buddy.
