Why can't people even be nice to other commenters in damn audiobook. Furthermore, Herodotus is to be enjoyed for the enlightenment to the Greek worldview, or for entertainment, not for it's historical accuracy. Likewise with Pliny the Elder.
@Obiwan-in-a-pudding I didn't say he was the best. My point was other whyt historians call him the father of history. Then some only want to discredit his writings about kemet. And he wasn't the only Greek to say Egyptians were black.
@Nefer Hor brother why are you trying to rewrite history? The ppl that are learning and accepting that the ancient Egyptians are black ppl are growing more and more lol why fight ?white Ppl weren’t even on that side of the world when the civilization was started. Ps. You can’t be light skin with straight hair and be from Africa, those are migrants
To those who don’t know the facts: Egypt is in Africa. (It still there) Ancient Egyptians were Africans. Modern Egyptian are the last descendants of the last and long line of conquerors. It’s that simple. Just imagine the argument of historians about America thousands of years from now. “ America was populated by White Men who discovered a barren land and built great Democracy and Skyscrapers all by themselves.😂😂😂😂
Not all people in Africa are black. Hieroglyphics show the contrast in skin color between the Egyptians and Nubians. Egyptians are nowhere near as dark.
Prove it !! I know you can’t !! It does matter what we are !! Egypt Now is hours , with all it Civilization and greatness !! Eat your heart out !! Get used to it because we are not going anywhere!! 🤡
Most of them are black too. I tell my friends all the time, it doesn’t matter whether or not white people know black history. It’s cool if they do, but it’s not necessary. But black people better make damn sure we know our history!

Do not underestimate what we can learn from Herodotus. His information is coming from extremely biased northern priest in the Delta. He hints that they are biased many times anyway especially when he casually mentions that the 'Thebans' could understand the Ammonians but not the people of the Delta. It is read as the Ammonians were half Egyptian but logically it was the Ammonians and the Thebans who were Egyptian and the people of the delta who were half Egyptian. That is why the Thebans understood them perfectly. Anyway, the term 'Ammonian' makes no sense as just a couple of hundred years before Herodotus and for the preceding 1500 years all Egyptians would have been considered Ammonians because they all worshipped Amun who was their national god. He also tells the story of the 'Deserters'. There is no way deserters would have left Egypt because they had not been relieved. They would have simply went home. The warrior class fought for Amun and they would have not followed any Pharaoh who did not. The way it is described would have been like the Pope's troops leaving for the Caliph. They left and insulted Psamtik I on the way out because he was an usurper and they went to Kush because the king there was the former Pharaoh and they shared more in common with the Kushites who were also followers of Amun than with Psamtik who followed Set, made allegiance with Assyria and helped sack Thebes. They despised Psamtik so much they showed him their private goods.
Yep he said the truth that the Egyptian people was from the middle east not Africa never listen to west Africa people black people living in the USA they can't show black people saying anything so they twist what we said in history.
Hey brilliant man. Did you know that before the 1980s your "middle east" was called Africa. Look it up. Did you know Arabs didn't migrate to that area until 6 or 7th century? Look it up. Did you know people if you actually spoke to someone knowledgeable about blacks and Kemet they will show you references sources books etc.? Try it. They wouldn't be saying these things if there wasn't Facts to back them up.

@Michael fyi black folks come in all shades brown. Some are the same shade as Arabs or lighter. Then there are albinos. How about black folks calling lighter skinned black folks red bone or yellow bone. Seems like you know little about kemet. Cause the colors don't represent skin tone. Explain red skin tone painted on walls in west Africa genius? Did you look it Africa before the 1980s? Probably not Cause you just want to argue without facts to back you up. Typical of prejudice people. The 1974 Cairo symposium proved they were black. Multiple Greek historians said they were black. Even the ancient Egyptians. They were black before all the invasions. Look it up or shut up. Have a great day.
I think Herodotus did not visit Egypt And he has a wide imagination He does not even know the geography of Egypt, so how can he claim to have visited it? He said many things wrong, and other things are lies And this is not my words, but rather the opinion of every reader and student of the great Egyptian history
They literally call him the father of history. And the things he said was confirmed and stated by other Greeks like Diodorus Plato Aristotle. But they lyin too huh?

Thanks for your opinion. Historians call him the father of history tho. So...
@@vjjunlimited because he's maybe the the first to do something like this, not the because he's the best.

@@alexs25867 like I said. SOME called him the father of history
If history is a tale twice told it must be accurate in everything. In this aspect it is a journal and a worthy account. Such is historical.
Still don't understand how someone can discredit a person who actually saw the people of kemet.
Racism
exactly
@Nefer Horhe is credible for everything else but Egypt. Huh? Smh. You know nothing of history be gone.
