Among other things, they have a little text explaining how, when Frank Ocean talks about black Cleopatra in his 2012 song Pyramids, he does not talk about the colour of her skin, but about her black identity! What bothered me the most was the complete lack of the Egyptian perspective, even for the sake of dialogue. I get that it was about Egypt in jazz and hip-hop but surely there must be Egyptian jazz and hip-hop artists inspired by their own past, and not just US musicians? I am not Egyptian, but I found it appropriative and not engaging in a dialogue with afrocentric theories but only presenting them as the way we should be seeing Egypt: essentially replacing the eurocentric lens with an afrocentric one, and celebrating all those US African-American artists who claim Egypt for their own.

As one scholar said, trying to make Egypt black is about a kind of therapy. If anyone looks at a map of Egypt, they will see it's attached to the Levant, so it's natural they had ancient ancestry from the Levant, so they were most definitely mixed.

I don't believe it to be "an attack".

[@kekero540]

Ancient Egypt had a generally diverse population (and i don't mean that in the woke definition). there were mercenaries from every corner of the Mediterranean and yes Sudan who settled in the region and Egypt had a significant import of slave labor which always introduces genetic admixture from neighboring peoples. *Generally* most of their ancestry is closely related to the Levant, which makes sense considering how much they interacted with the Phoenician and Jewish civilizations. claiming cleopatra as African is pretty apocryphal considering we have very explicit records of her Greek genealogy and her appearance. there are plenty of African Civilizations that they could simp for but they choose Egypt because it's the one everyone knows about instead of investing the time and effort to explore their own heritage in Africa which has plenty of civilizations such as Aksum, the Hausa, and the Ashanti peoples. They choose not to invest the effort in singing their praises and try to piggyback off of Egypts clout. there are parts of Egyptian history Africans CAN claim but i rarely see this done and most of the time it's Hoteps who paint a broad stroke across its entire 6,000 years of history instead of choosing to look at the Nubian dynasty and their accomplishments and push those into popular culture so modern African Americans have something to look towards for their heritage other than slavery. I really understand the impulse to do these things I'm Native American myself (Quapaw Tribe) and a lot of native history is straight up destroyed and contorted by colonization. I hope they can find and explore their own history and make sure its known in popular and black culture. I wish them the best and hope they do their due diligence.

[@kekero540]

Egypt as a Nation deserves to have a say in how their artifacts and history are portrayed and interpreted. those artifacts not found in shipwrecks or in other lands are up for grabs but Egypt themselves as well as any other African nation should be able to dictate how their history should be presented and have full control over the artifacts reclaimed from their countries and cultures. which do have a rich and immense cultural legacy and aesthetic i hope future black artists embrace.

[@egyptwasblack2]

You really made that up. Predynastic Egyptians (El Badari, Naqada I & II) have no affinity with the Levant but strong affinities with southern populations (Kemp, Ehret). In fact, the Ancient Egyptians claimed to be from Punt which was located in Ethiopia (DNA tests of mummified baboons). HLA studies cluster modern Greeks with BLACK AFRICAN populations because they carry subsaharan genes from a 5,000 years old admixture. Plus most Greek men carry the Egypto-cushitic haplogroup EV13. It matches with the story of the Pelasgians/Danaids who arrived from Egypt.

Bro, Our Ancestors come from West and Central Africa. Its not hard to figure out. VERY FEW Black People believe this "Black Egypt" thing is in certain communities within Black People in the United States. The reason why some people claim this "Black Egypt" is because we live in a western European culture over here in the United States and Egypt is part of Western history. So it was a place to make us adjacent to history ("Western" History) since Our Ancestors were told we had no history or culture in West and Central Africa by history books. It was treated as if we had no history before the Transatlantic Slave Trade and that caused people back in the day like Yosef Ben Jochanan and John Henrike Clarke and other, who went to segregated schools as children and told they had no history as Black People, saw that Western History includes Egypt as "Pivotal" in the development of Western History along with the Hellenistic World, Rome, and the Levant. Since Egypt is in Africa (geographically but not politically or culturally) they attached themselves to it. Hip Hop is a culture that is also adjacent in this way to fringe ideas within the Black Community in the United States. Hip Hop is like Punk for Black People (even though the "Punk Sound" was created by three Black brothers back in the very early 70s). Its a rebellion of social norms and institutions that have historically down played Our History and contributions to Western History and the world at large. So Hip Hop clings on to these ideas of "Black Egypt" as a sense of empowerment. I have a huge problem with "Black Egypt" because it IGNORES Our actual History in West and Central Africa and the many Empires, Kingdoms and Cultures that thrived there INDIGENOUSLY such as the Nok, Dhar Titchitt, Jenno Jenne, Mali, Songhay, Hausa city states, Benin Kingdom, Kingdom of Nri, Ile Ife, Oyo, Wagadou, The Akan City States, Dahomey, Bakongo Kingdom, etc. Our Ancestors in West Africa did achievements as being on of the few places Agriculture and Pottery was independently discovered. And there is evidence that pottery in West Africa might have found its way North to the Nile Valley through trade with ancient berbers and other Saharan people in the predynastic and pre pottery cultures on the Nile. Iron Metallurgy in Sub-Saharan Africa (excluding Nubia, Kush and The Horn of Africa) may have been discovered independently also but its not conclusive yet but if the consensus agrees we can add it to that list. We as Black People descended from Enslaved Africans have A LOT to be proud of. I don't need pyramids or hieroglyphics. I wouldn't claim a group of people who had sex with goats and their full siblings. Modern Egyptians can have that and they are the closest to them genetically. I'm good.

Herodotus (c. 484-425 BCE): Often called the "Father of History," Herodotus visited Egypt and described the Egyptians as having "black skin and woolly hair." In his work "Histories," he wrote about their physical appearance and compared them to the Colchians, Ethiopians, and Indians. Diodorus Siculus (c. 90-30 BCE): A Greek historian who wrote "Bibliotheca Historica," he noted that the Ethiopians (which included Egyptians in some contexts) believed that they were the origin of all human civilization, and that Egyptians were a colony of Ethiopians. Strabo (c. 64 BCE-24 CE): A Greek geographer, philosopher, and historian, Strabo mentioned in his "Geography" that the Egyptians were similar in appearance to the people of Ethiopia. Ammianus Marcellinus (c. 330-400 CE): A Roman historian, Ammianus described the Egyptians as "mostly brown or black with a skinny and desiccated look."

I feel like this could have been a very interesting exhibit, if it was in an art or culture museum. Ancient Egypt has had an undeniable influence on African American music and culture, and an exhibit exploring that could display some interesting stuff. They could have made a point to include more Egyptian reactions to appropriation, and maybe something about the history of black diaspora identifying with Egyptians instead of west Africans. It really had potential, but man did this museum flub it.

[@Merlinsbigbeard]

The whole debate is dumb imo. Egypt has and always has been a diverse land. The further south you go, the darker the peoples skin becomes. An Egyptian from Aswan is a lot darker than an Egyptian from Cairo. As such, the skin colour of Egyptians would vary wildly, with the skin colour of pharaohs likely altering dynasty to dynasty.

[@thepharaohnerd7235]

Yeah, absolutely

[@enlightenlife2840]

The Egyptian from aswan is dark due to them being from Sudanese nubian origins. Up on till now, Egyptians are very accepting of their black sudan nubians as Egyptians, when tney are not originally. The islamic faith helped blur the racial lines in the region. The Westerners want to start a ethnic tensions in the region.

This is a tempest in a teapot. The first dynasty commemorates the union of the two lands ie syria and ethiopia. It started as a miscegenation of two cultures represented by the bee (busy) and the reed (going with the flow). There are several depictions called smai tawi that show the tying together of two lands. Obviously not black vs white just black AND whatever not white color you want. All of what i just stated is easily verifiable by anyone who decides to read, and unfortunately that does not include americanized africans who were not taught how to use the library because of discrimination or use the internet wisely because of affirmative action cancellation. For the other side of the argument ancient Egypt ended with the greco-roman invasion. Without them we would have no understanding or even access. But no arab ever was involved in planning or building any of the ancient monuments that exist in Egypt and to claim that the builders were their ancestors is a patent lie and alllows the other side to claim lies as well. Ethiopia, Abbysinia, Yemen, Sheba is not sub saharan africa but it was their technology that built the pyramids. So continue to fight amongst yourselves and leave the scholarship to those who only look for the truth not to prove a point.

The Qustul Incense Burner is a significant artifact that provides insight into the relationship between the Nubian and Egyptian civilizations. Here’s what we know about it: The Qustul Incense Burner is distinctively Nubian in form, carved in the technique of Nubian rock art, and decorated on the rim with typical Nubian designs1. It was found in the tomb of a Nubian ruler at Qustul and incorporates images associated with Egyptian pharaohs: a procession of sacred boats, the White Crown of Upper Egypt, a falcon deity, and the palace facade called a serekh1. The scenes depicted on the Qustul Incense Burner have excited considerable interest and discussion - why would seemingly Egyptian symbols have been used in Nubia?1 One interpretation is that Nubian A-Group rulers and early Egyptian pharaohs used related royal symbols1. Similarities in rock art of A-Group Nubia and Upper Egypt support this position1. Another view suggests that the decoration was carved by Nubians in imitation of Egyptian art and rituals1. In this perspective, A-Group Nubian rulers would have emulated the symbols of Egyptian pharaohs, whose prestige and power were evident

[@orvillegrant3304]

The Qustul Cemetery and the Qustul Incense Burner are indeed older than the Egyptian civilization. This suggests that the Nubians did not copy from the Egyptians, but rather, it was the other way around. The Qustul Incense Burner, found in a royal tomb at the Qustul Cemetery, is one of the earliest pieces of evidence for the use of royal iconography, predating similar symbols in Egypt. This has led some scholars to suggest that it was the Nubians who influenced the Egyptians, rather than the other way around.

With the discovery of the Richat structure as the best potential site of Atlantis during the time when the Sahara was lush and green, does it not make sense that ancient Egyptians are the ancestors of the few Atlantians that escaped the Younger Drias Catastrophe in a mass exodus eastward to Egypt?

Saying that it’s “Afrocentric” to call Egypt an African civilization is like saying it’s “Eurocentric” to say that Greece was a European civilization. You said that in your video that the racial terms “black” and “white” are made up and thus shouldn’t be used to describe an ancient population of people. Yet, you use the black term to describe a region of Africa you call “Black Africa,” which is a made up term itself. 🤔 This logical inconsistency is what I often find in people who really don’t know what they’re talking about. For example, you took umbrage with the term “Kemet” being used at this Dutch exhibit, but are fine with the term “Egypt” which is a foreign name for that land. Why not use the term the ACTUAL Kemites used regardless of what some people who use that term believe? Another inconsistency. Whether people like it or not, the ancient Kemites were indigenous Africans who created one of the greatest civilizations in human history. If that fact anlone upsets you , then you have no business studying and/or disseminating information about ancient Egypt.

Considering Afrocentrists have hijacked the termin Kemet for themselves as they have with the entire ancient culture, it is understandable to see it in a skeptical light, so your attempt at sounding oh so nuanced falls flat right then and there, especially considering you end your comment with the term "ancient Egypt" yourself.

[@darzhanacf8983]

Even though racism in the Morden definition is not present in Egypt,the Egyptians distinguished themselves from the rest of the African continental as fair skinned and called their neighbours the nubians as black or dark skinned and you may argue back by saying khemet means black soil which refers to the soil not the people,if you check our the 25th dynasty which was culturaly mostly Egyptian were still referred to as of nubian descent and different skin colour to the people.in conclusion Egypt has had nearly 32 dynasties and was ruled by many different cultures after the New Kingdom because it is in the edges of 2 different continent migration is more common.

[@orvillegrant3304]

Indeed, there is evidence suggesting that the Nubian monarchy predates the ancient Egyptian civilization. The region of Lower Nubia, specifically Qustul (modern-day Aswan), is believed to be the origin of the earliest Pharaohnic Monarchy in the Nile Valley1. Excavations have shown that the White Crown, later used by Upper Egypt, originated from Qustul about 1,000 years before it was used in Egypt1. The Nubian civilization had its own rich culture that powerfully influenced the land of the pharaohs2. They were diverse peoples with their own beliefs and customs2. Far from being a boring backwater to Egypt, the Nubians exchanged cultural ideas with their neighbors, even setting fashion trends for kings like Tutankhamun2. Nubia was home to some of Africa’s earliest kingdoms3. Known for rich deposits of gold, Nubia was also the gateway through which luxury products like incense, ivory, and ebony traveled from their source in sub-Saharan Africa to the civilizations of Egypt and the Mediterranean3. Modern researchers and writers hold differing views on the ancient roots of the Nubians4. However, ample evidence supports the notion that the Nubian civilization predates the ancient Egyptian civilization4. Swiss archaeologist Charles Bonnet spent decades excavating the lands surrounding the southern Nile and found evidence of a civilization grown rich from trade and abundant with fields and livestock5. This kingdom was distinct from Egypt with its own material culture and traditions
