Imagine! first Roman emperor Augustus lived closer to us roughly 1000 years timespan than he did to the time of first king of a unified Egypt Narmer!
Afrika Never had a pharoah!!! Afrika never had a "country" especially at that time!! Afrika never named any of its nation egypt, which is a greek name, especially since the greeks were nowhere around at that time!! You'll need to stop lying and attempting to insert yourselves where it is very obvious you didn't and don't belong! Spend time researching or "discovering," yurugu in the caves and mountains of the caucasus!!!!
You explained nothing but your huge capacity to steal and lie!!!
U forgot ramses and seti
Narmer the first pharaoh to unites Kemet
The black man
Narmer is black egyptian koush
Incredibly, Cleopatra was closer to our time, than she was to the first dynasty!!! 🤯
Yea that is! By over a thousand years too!
Absolutely. The ‘Greco egyptians’ including cleopatra are, chronologically, closer to using mobile phones and the internet than they were to the first Egyptian dynasties.
Cleopatra was Greek
So?
@@HistoryExplained Les Moors sont de enfants de kouch d Afrique en entier du nord au sud de l est à l ouest. Les autres sont des Colons
Just think of how absurdly long ago this man walked this very planet we currently reside on. Gives me shivers
I feel the same
Indeed
Not looking like that... he would've been fried like bacon.
No white or olive people walking around in Kemet without any shirt on.
Guy, who the hell is this? (00:22).
In 90-120 degree temperatures in the desert, how does an indigenous black African from Sudan become white in 3000?
I have proof that you actually created fake history,
❤❤
I never really cared about the this period of Egypt, it was all crude speculation to me, then I learned about the Narmer Palette and it hit me..this is literally the dawn of history...before this we were looking at archaelogical sites and making educated guesses based on what we saw, and suddenly, we have this piece of rock where the Egyptians themselves are trying to tell us what was happening, using names and symbols that we could read...WOW!
I agree. It’s incredible!

@@HistoryExplained i just found this channel from a comment on historia civilis
This is the best explanation that I have seen of the Namer Palette. And the graphics also highlight what is being described which enhances the detail of each part of the palette.
Thank you so much!
Narmer did not look like that that so its just like netflix cleopatra,
@@LPKickboxing-b9o Yep the Egyptians should sue him 😂😅

Great summary of Pre-dynastic Egypt. Thanks for uploading. BRAVO!
I appreciate that Amadeu!
Saw you comment on Tim Shmoyer's latest video. 2k subs with 2vids sounded too good to be true so I checked you channel and man... the quality of your is so good. I see why you grew so fast.
Wish you much more!
I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you for the encouragement!
I came here after seeing your comment on the historymarche video. Your video is better than what i expected. Great job.
HistoryMarche is one of my favorite channels! Thank you for the compliment Shivam!
Ancient history is so fascinating to me. Even as a child I loved learning about Egypt, Mesopotamia, Hittites, etc.
Nice work, is this your first video or you had another channel before?
It’s my very first video! Thank you for the compliment!
A really excellent first video. Well done. Really looking forward to seeing your future videos.

This is great quality for a first video! This channel will go far
I really appreciate that Ross! Thanks so much!
Love your channel keep it up
Thank you so much!
This is the guy to focus on the first pharaoh of Egypt. I’m more fascinated with the progenitors of a dynasty rather than its descendants coz the foundation they lay determines if a dynasty will thrive or fall.

"32nd Century B.C." - it never ceases to amaze me how old Egyptian civilization is. Most of humanity were hunter-gatherers while Egypt was building its first empire. It boggles the mind.

Good video cant wait to see the channel grow
Thank you Atticus!
Critique: A L O T of people hate it when someone cuts mid sentence and fills it in with another voiceover. It really pulls out the depth of the video.
Anycase nice job!
I appreciate the critique. Thanks for watching!

That’s great. Thank you

Thank you for saying that Sam!
Amazing stuff..! perfectly explained
Thank you Daisy!
Amazing first video. I wish you good fortune!
I appreciate that Gica! Thank you!
But Narmer was fe9m Nubia from the heart of Black land of KEMET. The depiction of the King seems specious and inaccurate.
Thanks for sharing!
ancient egyptians were never sub sharan , DNA has proven
Scientists also gathered data on Egyptian history and archaeological data of northern Africa, to give their discoveries some context. They wanted to know what changes had occurred over time. To find out, they compared the mummies’ genomes to that of 100 modern Egyptians and 125 Ethiopians. “For 1,300 years, we see complete genetic continuity,” Krause said.
The oldest mummy sequenced was from the New Kingdom, 1,388 BCE, when Egypt was at the height of its power and glory. The youngest was from 426 CE, when the country was ruled from Rome. The ability to acquire genomic data on ancient Egyptians is a dramatic achievement, which opens up new avenues of research.
very much like the video and have subscribed but there is some criticism i have wich is that i would love to see sources either in the discription or with a pinned comment. apart from that great work i am looking forward to seeing more from you.
I appreciate the advice and for watching! Thank you!
Saw your comment on Kings mas Generals and I must say, this video was AMAZING!! Subscribed!😁

a truly exceptional and concise overview, great work

Thank you!
You've a voice like butter my friend looking forward to your next video.
Thank you for you for the compliment and for watching!
After learning much more on the subject I can appreciate this video more. Lots of info in a short time. Only minor critic is that the picture for Namars casket was one of the middle to late dynasty at least judging by it's humanoid shape. The first ones were rounded or triangle shaped I think. Otherwise pretty flawless stuff.
Hey Christopher I discovered your channel yesterday on Tim’s LIVE. Egypt was my favorite topic in history class growing up in France 😂 WAO if i was a teacher I would totally play your content in class 🤩

My next video will probably be set in Ancient Egypt again, but I’ll be moving on afterwards to different areas. Thanks for your interest Alexander!
@@HistoryExplained Keep up the great work!
Didn’t think people were still trying to whiten up ancient Kemet. Anyway other than that thanks for the information. Knowing the true identity of these people I was able to bypass the blatant depicted error.
Jbo right 👏🏾
Not a error at all. Good catch.
Egyptian we’re definitely not Western African looking as they were located near the Levantine.
@@sarahalotaibi1230 no one said they looked West African. Although I’m sure some did. Africans are all different shades of brown from dark to light. The Kings in the Old Kingdom payed homage to their ancestors from Kush and Nubia/Sudan regularly. Just like Ethiopians don’t look like Nigerians you see they are clearly both African. Check out the Shabaka stone. And if you do any research there’s no way it won’t point you to there origins being from deep inside the continent. In all the Egyptians of those times were not those of today. Even if you’re not a reader, the way they depicted themselves proves this
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful video! You've won a sub!

3100BC Afrika with an image of a Eurasian as Narmer when the statues of him in the UK clearly depict an Afrikan....please explain?
Thanks for watching!
What statues do you speak of? I highly doubt there’s any contemporary art of Narmer which could be used to accurately infer his appearance.
@@Yehoshua66They have his bust which clearly shows an indigenous black African man.
The palette and mace head reveal Aryan.
Narmer himself was a white european man conquering the lower egyptian black africans.
His conquest of lower egypt symbolizes Europe’s conquest of africa 5000 years later.
Him mixing his white blood with a black woman made the current brown skinned egyptians.
Guess who subscribed!!!!
Thanks a lot!

As an Egyptian, this was a wonderful video - thank you!
Edit - definitely putting the bell on this for video
It means a lot to me that an Egyptian enjoyed my video on Ancient Egypt! Thank you!
Ancient Egyptians are not modern Egyptians, Arabic language came into existence around 12-13th century BCE. Narmer predates Aran by 2000 years. Proper history belongs to Black Africa, which Egypt is still part of it.
Aliyu Lawal lol looks like you’ve never opened a history textbook sir. Afrocentrists are utterly obsessed with race
ECA History should be told as it is. No one will dare make a documentary of Athens with any Chinese characters. This is not Hollywood, this is true and sacred knowledge and should not be adulterated.
@@aliyulawal932
You are absolutely correct. History should be told as it was. And as it was *Egyptians are largely the same group of people they were during ancient times* .
Don't believe me? *Argue with academics then* :
In 2008, S. O. Y. Keita wrote that "There is no scientific reason to believe that the primary ancestors of the Egyptian population emerged and evolved outside of northeast Africa.... The basic overall genetic profile of the modern population is consistent with the diversity of ancient populations that would have been indigenous to northeastern Africa and subject to the range of evolutionary influences over time, although researchers vary in the details of their explanations of those influences."[38]
Stuart Tyson Smith writes in the 2001 Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt that "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."[39]
In his We Can't Go Home Again: An Argument About Afrocentrism, historian Clarence E. Walker writes that Black Americans who claim Egypt was a black civilization and the progenitor of Western civilization have created a "therapeutic mythology", but they aren't talking about history.[40]
Kemp argues that the black/white argument, though politically understandable, is an oversimplification that hinders an appropriate evaluation of the scientific data on the ancient Egyptians since it does not take into consideration the difficulty in ascertaining complexion from skeletal remains. It also ignores the fact that Africa is inhabited by many other populations besides Bantu-related ("Negroid") groups. He asserts that in reconstructions of life in ancient Egypt, modern Egyptians would therefore be the most logical and closest approximation to the ancient Egyptians.[41]
A study by published in 2017 described the extraction and analysis of DNA from 151 mummified ancient Egyptian individuals, whose remains were recovered from Abusir el-Meleq in the Cairo Governate. The scientists said that obtaining well-preserved, uncontaminated DNA from mummies has been a problem for the field and that these samples provided "the first reliable data set obtained from ancient Egyptians using high-throughput DNA sequencing methods". The study showed that Ancient Egyptians had the greatest affinity for modern Middle Eastern (Arab, Levantine and Anatolian) populations, and had significantly more affinity with southeastern Europeans than with sub-Saharan Africans. Nevertheless, there was a small sub-Saharan African component in the ancestry of the three mummies tested: "absolute estimates of African ancestry using these two methods in the three ancient individuals range from 6 to 15%." This level of sub-Saharan African ancestry is significantly lower than that of modern Egyptians from Abusir, who "range from 14 to 21%."[15] furthermore, "Genetic continuity between ancient and modern Egyptians cannot be ruled out despite this sub-Saharan African influx, while continuity with modern Ethiopians is not supported".[42]
The authors of the study cautioned that the samples from the mummies, which were taken from a region that (while technically part of Middle Egypt) is geographically in the far north of Egypt, may not be representative of Ancient Egypt as a whole. Contemporary genetic studies show much greater levels of sub-Saharan African ancestry in the current-day populations of southern as opposed to northern Egypt.[16]
Professor Stephen Quirke, an Egyptologist at University College London, expressed caution about the researchers’ broader claims, saying that “There has been this very strong attempt throughout the history of Egyptology to disassociate ancient Egyptians from the modern population.” He added that he was “particularly suspicious of any statement that may have the unintended consequences of asserting - yet again from a northern European or North American perspective - that there’s a discontinuity there [between ancient and modern Egyptians]".[43]
National Geographic reported in their reference populations for their genographical DNA study showed that 68% of modern-day Egyptians are ethnically North African, with foreign invasions having little effect on the majority of modern Egyptians's genetics.[44] Other ethnic groups that rounded out modern Egyptians were from Southwest Asia and the Persian Gulf at 17%, Jewish diaspora at 4%, Asia Minor at 3%, Eastern Africa at 3%, and Southern Europe at 3%.[44]
*If you read the above, you would notice that modern egypt is* _more_ *sub-saharan african today than it was in the past* .
Look, I don't claim to be descendant of Mansa Moussa and other great West African civilization, don't claim to be descendants of Egypt in return.
Anything else is just unhistoric nationalist nonsense that is ignorant of how history played out
I love history, great job.
