  • What did the cave temples of Abu Simbel look like 3000 years ago?
    Today we take a tour of the Abu Simbel complex in Southern Egypt, analyzing the architecture of the Temple of Ramesses II and the Temple of Nefertari, the ancient Egyptian temples that were carved in the rock of a cliff.

Their teams of engineers, stoneworkers and others sawed the statues and surrounding enclosure into huge stone blocks, numbering and diagramming them as they went, then moved it higher up above what would be the flood line of the under construction Aswan High Dam, and painstakingly reassembled it. Took them something like 4 years!

Creating a new land mass by calling it the middle east in the early 1900's doesn't change facts and history concerning ancient Kemet aka Egypt. Kemet means black land.
      Unremarkable olive skinned, European mixtures and wannabes contributed NOTHING to Egypt's glorious past achievements. Arabs just live there and take up space, helping whyte supremacy propaganda suppress the land's original people. Must be infuriating to dwell in someone else's historic homeland where no one of legend looks like you. I can't think of any remarkable modern Egyptians who are known for anything significant. Surrounded by the true inheritors and inhabitants who number over a billion must make colonizers nervous. #TicToc.

      I know all the Afrocentric nonsense: “mountains of the moon”, the charlatan named Dr Ben, Anta Diopshit, Nubia as the mother of Egypt etc. Blacks have contributed nothing to Egyptian civilization . Afrocentric racist supremacists developed a therapeutic mythology , based on cultural appropriation , revisionist history and pseudo science to alleviate their feelings of inferiority from the transatlantic slave trade that their direct antecedents, like Nzinga, were complicit in. Copts are the original people who still read , write and speak in the final stage of the Egyptian language.
      FYI, ancient Egyptians didn’t even like getting tanned let alone black skin color, sad….
      You’re twisting yourself into pretzels because you’re embarrassed that you Hoteps don’t come from a place of ancient civilization or culture. Do you know ancient and modern Egyptians found dark skin undesirable? So much so my ancestors invented sunscreen!
      “The first record of sun protection began with the Egyptians, who used ingredients such as rice bran, jasmine, and lupine.Though they did not understand the harmful effects the sun has on the skin, they did understand the concept of tanning. In a culture where lighter skin was more desirable, the purpose of their sunscreen was solely cosmetic. It has only recently been discovered that rice bran absorbs UV light, jasmine helps repair DNA, and lupine lightens skin. Other cultures have tried their luck at sun protection with varying success.”
      From Journal of the American Medical Association December Dermatology 2015 The History of Sunscreen - JAMA Network
      Go ahead refute JAMA(Journal of the American Medical Association)! The AMA’s racist too? Or how about the US census Bureau?
      Per the US 2020 Census, Egyptians are White!
      White:
      The category “White” includes all individuals who identify with one or more nationalities or ethnic groups ORIGINATING in Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. Examples of these groups include, but are not limited to, German, Irish, English, Italian, Lebanese, EGYPTIAN, Polish, French, Iranian, Slavic, Cajun, and Chaldean.

      @Dr. Banoub, U💵C ‘86,’90 - American born black people are proud to stand against whyte supremacy and oppression. We've been surviving and thriving in American Babylon for centuries. 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.
