Some of the hymns even retain cultural elements of pre-Christian Egypt, such as hymns about christ almost being word-for-word identical to ancient hymns to Ra
@ghebreluel Obviously even if Coptic had no Greek loanwords (stemming from the fact that most of the Early Christian terminology was Greek and all) it would differ MUCH from the Egyptian spoken by the time of the Pharaoes, because language changes of the time.
The character of the United States has changed dramatically just in the last 200 years. Egypt is *THOUSANDS* of years old. They are so old, that Cleopatra lived closer to our own time, than she lived to the time of the pyramid builders. To Cleopatra, the pyramid builders were even more ancient than Cleopatra is to us. And Egypt was already ancient when the pyramids were built. If you had a time machine that could go back it time at the rate of 1 year per second, the following table will tell you how long it would take to go back in time far enough to witness historical events. 4 minutes 3 seconds to see the signing of the Declaration of independence 15:53 seconds to see the Norman invasion 33:39 to see the birth of Christ (assuming he existed, or to see any other random birth from 2019 years ago) 1 Hour 16:48 to see the first Pyramids of Giza built about 2 and a half hours to see the first organised society that would later become what we think of as Egypt.
I will say one thing is that it is a fact Jesus existed. Wether he is God or not can not be scientifically proven but the accounts of Jesus can be found written down by Jewish historians, not just Christian ones, and the Romans also wrote down that he died. Also there are literally thousands of letters found from the first century that talk about him written by mostly Christians talking to fellow Christians but also by some Jews as well so it is a fact Jesus existed. The Apostles did not make up his existence and then went and all died terrible deaths in the name of a man they made up in a conspiracy theory
@@thewestisthebest6608 Jesus can be found written down by Jewish historians, not just Christian ones, and the Romans also wrote down that he died. No, there is not. There is stuff that could possible be Jesus that is contemporary to him, but nothing that actually identifies him specifically. In fact, several of the documents that mention people scholarship have said was Jesus are actually several different people when examined more closely. As to the thousands of letter you mention, you mean thousands of pieces of letters. *ALL* of the documents that have been said to mention Jesus are *FRAGMENTS* some of these fragments are just a few letters, not even enough to identify what word they were a part of, let alone a name. I'm sorry to say that the case for the existence of Jesus is not nearly as strong as Christians like to pretend. The fact alone, that the evidence for Jesus has been grossly exaggerated tells us that scholars have experienced quite a bit of confirmation bias. Not one mention of the Jesus of the Bible is contemporary with him. In fact, there are a lot of holes in his story as well. Later accounts of Jesus are more detailed than those accounts closer to the time he was said to have lived. And many of those accounts have historical anomalies. Such as mentioning practices that were not done at the time, but adopted later. It seems to me that the oldest accounts of Jesus date only to the second century. It seems the myth of Jesus was first created several decades after his life would have ended and elaborated on by later generations. So no, I personally don't believe Jesus ever existed at all. If he did exist, he would have had to be several different people. Have you ever seen a frapping good movie called Bat 21? It stars Gene Hackman as a high ranking crewman from a shot down airplane and Danny Glover as the shit hot FAC who helped rescue him. The story is true, but the Danny Glover character is made up. This was done simply to move the story along. Everything Danny did in the movie was done in real life, but it was done by several different people. It's a great film but the book is even better. I think you'd enjoy it. Sorry, bout that. Got distracted. It would seem that Jesus might have been like the Danny Glover in Bat 21. For some reason I got Danny Glover confused with Danny Sullivan. How I could mix up a black actor with a white race car driver, I do not know. I think I fixed it, but there might still be a Danny Sullivan up there. If there is, just know I meant Danny Glover.
When I visited the pyramids and the city of Cairo in Egypt the Nubian communities were extremely interesting. They had extremely old origen stories and were the original cultivators of coffee according to their cultural history.

I'm Egyptian. I had this question since I was very young, I've asked people who know about this many times, even egyptologists, I searched on Google, I even did DNA tests, and the answer is the following: yes, both Muslims and Christians are the same people who built the pyramids and met the pharaohs. Egyptians are as Arabs as Spanish or Turkish people, they were conquered by Arabs and they are 5-10% Arabs, but that doesn't make them Arabs. When Greece conquered Egypt were the Egyptians Greeks? Where the Egyptians Romans when Rome conquered Egypt? Egyptians are Egyptians!
No the reality is Archaeological evidence simply does not the support the common misconception that Middle Easterners and certainly not Europeans were present or seen in notable numbers during the Pre-Early Dynastic periods. Major academia such as Oxford and Cambridge university claimed that ancient Egypt was African and originated from populations from the Sahara and Sudan. These universities made these conclusions decades before DNA testing. They based these claims om archaeology, linguistics and the history of the region.

I saw quite a number of Coptic churches in Cairo with well attended congregations. I saw many people with small crosses tattooed on their wrists. I think that makes them less likely to marry Muslims. At the Coptic churches I attended I couldn't tell what language the service was in, Arabic or Coptic, but I did recognize one expression "Kyrie eleison." I saw Coptic churches in Alexandria and Luxor also. However, that can be taken only so far. A traveler in Cairo and Alexandria can see a number of synagogues and then assume there's a lot of Jews around. Actually there's only a handful of Egyptian Jews; the community consists largely of old people, mainly women who were married to Muslims or too aged to move to Israel or elsewhere. I think the estimate of Copts in Egypt at about 10% sounds right, that's a lot of people. My hometown of Jersey City, New Jersey has now a large Coptic community; I believe the head of the Coptic church in North America has his see there. In Los Angeles where I live now there's a respectable Coptic population, with a handsome church on Robertson Blvd - incidentally near a strong Orthodox Jewish neighborhood. As far as I know with no problems - and why should there be?
Murray Aronson okay I’m Egyptian and I can say this: christians are definately below 20 or even 10 percent of the populations speaking about experience. Only once in a full moon I’ve met a Coptic Egyptian.
Murray Aronson egypt used to have a large jewish community before the 67 war. sadly the shithead abdelnaser forced them out of egypt after the war a move which only benefited israel.
@@zonex731 If you live in Cairo I find that hard to believe. I was in two Coptic churches, one in Maadi and the other Downtown, both were full with many people. And there were other churches I saw. I was surprised by the number of crosses seen on Cairo's cityscape.
@@amaralgalady606 Between 1948 and 1956 most Jews left Egypt. Many of them held Italian and French citizenship. The remainder were more or less expelled in 1967. Around the same time most of the Greeks and Italians left, maybe also the Armenians.

Basically, The Egyptians Should be Proud of both their Ancient Egyptian Heritage and their Arab Heritage. We got the most Epic mix. Also, correction, Egyptians didn't just identify as Arabs during the leadership of Gamal Abdul Nasser. Gamal Abdul Nasser's Brother who was born in the 1920s, was named by his parents "Izz al Arab" which is Arabic for "Arab Pride". This was way before Gamal Abdul Nasser's political career, let alone his Pan Arabist dreams. Gamal Abdul Nasser himself was born in 1918, and his parents were already Arab identifying nationalists. Egyptians(both Muslims and Christians) have identified as Arabs for a very long time. Only recently have we started to identify as "Pharaohs" lol, and Lebanese as "Phoenicians" and Iraqis as "Babylonians" etc. It is a ridiculous phenomenon/conspiracy to divide the Arab world into weaker and divided states. The west wants the Arabs to identify with their dead ancient civilizations just to kill the possibility of any potential Arab unity(which we have attempted before). Think about it. A United Arab republic would be the West's biggest threat. Not to mention Israel's situation in the case of a United Arab Nation. It would be Israel's Nightmare. P.S. @7:25 The latter does not have "a more fluid definition" of the Middle East. That is the traditional definition of Middle East. There is no "Middle East" without Egypt. The Middle East is not a continent nor is it confined to a single continent, but it is a transctonintal geopolitical region that extends to three continents. It is also not synonymous with "West Asia" which has been a recent common misconception. I'm aware that you now understand this fact which is apparent in your later videos, but this information I'm typing is for the people that might have confusions about the makeup of the region or that might confuse it for a continent, which I see many people do, not just westerners. The Middle East begins with Egypt in North Africa and ends with Iran in Western Asia. The criteria of the Middle East’s geography is not based on a shared continent, but instead, it is based on shared history, politics and culture. Hence the term “Geopolitical”. While the majority of the region is situated on Western Asia, it still does not make up the entirety of the region. The Middle East is a geopolitical transcontinental region that sits on the intersection of Africa(Via Egypt), Asia(Via the Sinai of Egypt, the Levant, the Arabian peninsula, Iraq and Iran) and Europe(Via Turkey which is a country situated in both Europe and Asia(the entirety of Turkey is included in the Middle East including its European part) The concept of the Middle East/Near East predates its western given names. It was a concept created by Arab Historians and Geographers in the Middle Ages such as Ibn Khaldun to divide the Maghreb(Western part of the Arab world) from the Mashriq(Eastern part of the Arab world) based on the cultural differences and similarities. The Maghreb became to be the Amazigh part of the Arab world which was the Western Maghreb part of the Arab world(Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Mauritania). The Eastern part of the Arab world was called “Al Mashriq”. When the westerners created the terms “Middle East and Near East” in the 19th and 20th century to refer to the same Eastern region of the Arab world that they have imperialized, they began adding the non Arab countries such as Turkey, Iran, Israel and even Cyprus. This bring me to another important issue that needs some shedding light on, which is, in its classical definition, the term “North Africa” just simply means the top part of the African continent. But “North Africa” in the context of “North Africa and the Middle East”, only refers to the Maghreb region. So context here is very important. The word “Maghreb” is Arabic for “where the sun sets” referring to the Western part of the Arab world while the word “Mashriq” is Arabic for “where the sun rises” referring to the Eastern part of the Arab world
@@MichaelDavis-cv6rr you're completely wrong don't you know about the Golden age of Islam and how Egypt was a center of culture knowledge back then Also are you an idiot don't you know that Hagar (mother of Ismael and Arab's) was from Egypt!
@@MichaelDavis-cv6rr England is the one that brought destruction to Egypt by invading it and France too not to mention that napoleon distroyed the nose of the sphinx
Egypt and the rest of the Arab world is culturally Arab but that doesn't necessarily mean they're genetically from the Arabian peninsula. It's funny because Egypt is more or less the heart of the Arab world today, and not the Gulf countries. Egypt has been the heart of many civilizations at once, but the Egyptian people have always considered themselves Egyptian first and foremost regardless of language or religion. Many minor groups migrated to Egypt across history to escape the destruction of their homeland and have become integrated into Egyptian society. The reverse has also happened, where many Egyptians migrated to the Levant, Hijaz, Yemen, and even the Balkans.
I suggest researching the early photographs (Maxime Du Camp) taken of the Egyptian ruins taken by French photographers. It really highlights the amazing contrast where the sands of time covered the landscape of the Egyptian empire and erased a lot of knowledge of their past
@@PerezosoDoom That wasn't until the Greeks and Roman's invaded. Ancient and Proto Egyptians showed most middle eastern Arab and Subsharan African genetics.
Ancient Egyptians were Hamites not Cushites!!!!!! Hamites included Amazigue, Berber, Tuareg,Lybians, Egyptians. Kushites/ Kushites included peoples who used to be within kingdom of Kush and they were North Sudan, Nubia, Ethiopia, parts of Somalia. Hamites are different from semites ( Arabs, people of Levant)
dogons2k12 there’s no such thing as black Egypt. That’s what is made up and delusional. Hamites , Hemet, Gebet, Egypt originating from Mizraim hence Misir literally the name of Egypt in the arabic language. Fage, =John; Tordoff, William (2013). A History of Africa. Routledge. pp. 7-10. ISBN 978-1317797272. Retrieved 28 July 2016. These problems of colour and nomenclature become particularly difficult in connection with those inhabitants of Africa, mainly in Mediterranean and north-eastern Africa, who are not called Blacks. Europeans, believing -- correctly -- that these people belong to the same basic stock, usually called Caucasoid, as themselves[...] Earlier they were always referred to as 'Hamites'[...] Caucasoids were certainly the dominant stock, if not the only one, living in North and North-East Africa, but there is also evidence that some Caucasoids were living further south, in at least the northern half of the open highland country which runs southwards from Ethiopia to South Africa. Enough with the blackwashing and whitewashing of Egypt.
@huey.p. newton of course, they are Africans. Nothing demeaning about that. The entire people of the world are Africans. Egyptians now are not the same Egyptians of the Bible or the days of the Pharaohs. They were real Africans then. Today they are totally mixed and literally bear no resemblance to ancient Egyptians. In fact, they are not at all real Egyptians.
Masaman, I love watching your videos and being surprised to see a reference made to Armenians or Armenian culture. Thank you, man, for reviving my people's place/relevance in historical studies. Cheers from a diaspora Armenian (i.e., a descendant of genocide survivors) in Los Angeles.
As an Armenian you may be interested to know that Egypt was effectively ruled by Armenians off and on from 1073-1162 being grand viziers during an ailing Fatimid “caliphate”. They were both converts to Islam such as Badr Aljamali, his son Alafdhal, Tala'i ibn Ruzzik and his son Ruzzik as well as Christians such as Yanis and Bahram Alarmani who was given the title “the sword of Islam” even as a Christian. Large numbers of Armenians moved to Egypt during that period. Shajar al-Durr (Umm Khalil), likely an Armenian and the widow of the last Ayubid Sultan was briefly made queen of Egypt.
The situation in Egypt is the same as other non-gulf arabic speaking countries, where the people are culturally and linguistically arabs but not genetically for the most part. Even back in the ottoman period there was a distinction between ethnic Sunni Arabs and Sunni Fellahins (literally peasants) who retained much of their ancestor's agrarian lifestyle, and were the majority. There's a story where an excavated statue was called Sheikh al Balad by the locals, after the sheikh of the village who looked extremely similar. This distinction was erased in the times of Jamal Abed Al Nasser and the whole pan Arab craze. You also should consider that the Arab migrations were sporadic migrations from a nomadic culture which wasn't likely to be in the same numbers as the massive Egyptian population, and that Egypt has been spared the large scale massacres that levantine and Mesopotamian people experienced at the hands of mongols and timurids. Egypt has been described as a great sea that swallows up all that is poured into it, and I couldn't agree more. Great video in any case💓
Hanno the Navigator I was gonna write a comment like this but you basically made the points I wanted to. The Egyptian population in the past was huge and migrations into Egypt were usually in small number and invaders would only bring elites with them rather than peasants, so the genetics of Egyptians wouldn’t be greatly altered. of course Egyptians mixed a bit over time but the idea of large scale mixing like in the special case of Latin America is a myth. Also from what masaman said Egyptian would have 40% southwest (not just the Arabian Peninsula) Asian ancestry from the paternal line but I would assume that the maternal line would have very little southwest Asian ancestry.
@@Yevjer Exactly. It's usually the ruling men whose haplos are overreprecented. For example roughly 50% of black Americans have an European haplo group even though they're on average only ~15% European.

Im not impressed. The predominant genes that make up the stronger side of the North African genetics come from Levant, the second from the Yemeni. Both are present in Egypt and Barbary coast. No company has successfully seperated DNA of Berbers with the rest of North Africa except that the Magreb has a lot of European blood, and Egypt has a lot of Arabic blood. The southern parts are more Nubian but Im not seeing how you separate them so easily when nobody else can.....

At first they were their own people with blood similar to Sudanese/horn of Africa and Berbers. Later they mixed with Europeans. And lastly they mixed with Arabs and have adopted their culture and religion. Basically theyre the Latinos of Africa lol. Still a great country shoutout to the Egyptians.

Masaman's information are shallow and his sources are mere blogs that he doesn't even understand. He claims muslim Egyptians are mixed with Arabs due to 27% of them carrying Haplogroup J, although Haplogroup J has been in Egypt since the Neolithic, and has been found in ancient Egyptian mummies. meaning that it didn't come from Arabs as Masaman ignroantly claims. also he claims Coptic christian Egyptians incorporated Armenians into their community, giving a false premise that coptic Egyptians are now mixed with Armenians. but what he doesn't know is that most Armenian refugees left Egypt and there numbers were negligeble to make any demograpphic change. this video is complete farce and it shows Masaman's ignorance, he is just a good speaker thats all.
No pre-contact sub Saharan African population have ever created a written language or weaved cloth or forged steel. They never invented anything not even a wheel or plow. Or devised a calendar, or code of laws, or any social organization, or formal religion, or a system of measurement, or math, or built a multi-story structure, or bridge or sewer. Pre-contact Sub-Saharan black Africans have never ever created infrastructure of any kind nor have they harnessed a river or even drilled well or irrigated, or built a road, or railway, or sea-worthy vessel. They never domesticated animals or exploited underground natural resources or produced anything that could be considered a mechanical device. Is this why american blacks are stealing egyptian history and civilisation?
As an Egyptian myself, I want to thank you for the great video, you were very informative and free from bias. However, I disagree with you. A recent DNA research published on Nature Communications conducted on Abusir El meleq mummies( middle class mummies) showed that ancient egyptians were close relatives to the Levantines with a slight sub saharan african DNA of between 6% and 15%. Modern Egyptians showed a higher rate of of sub saharan african DNA, probably due to slave trades during the Islamic empire. Lastly, thank you again for the great video. Keep it up.
It's a bogus test from the nazi eugenics linked max planck institute that was headed by a fraud named johannes Krause who used mummies of foreigners from a location and time period that was known to be heavily populated by foreigners...Egyptian civilization lasted three thousand years but ask yourself why did this phony "study" choose to use late period mummies from only one location then tried to pass them off as being representative of Egyptian population..why didn't he use mummies from more than one area and from time periods when real Egyptians were on the throne? ...THE.ANSWER IS because he wanted to carefully cherrypick the location in.order to get the skewed bootleg results he was seeking...these desperate VIKANGZ have got to do better...this was too easy to deconstruct...
@@MichaelDavis-cv6rr This all what afrocentrists do, they create some conspiracy and try to steal our history and culture. Unless you were not joking about the nazi thing, I can continue and tell you that the research was published on Nature Communications, and it is not easy to publish a research on this scientific magazine. The mummies chosen for the research where middle class mummies and not royalty. And if they chose any other mummies, you would end up with the same argument. Arguing with afrocentrists is like arguing with flat Earther, no matter how much evidence there is, you always keep uttering with the same words. Every time I see an afrocentrist, he just keeps giving me fake info and says everything is a conspiracy to prove ancient egyptians were white. You are truly unworthy of arguing with.

@@MichaelDavis-cv6rr Do you know how all this absurdity started?? Wall paints. Ancient egyptians rarely depicted themselves with real colors, they are only symbolic. You know who else used this kind of art? The Greeks!! You heard about canonication?? This when in most cases women were depicted with white colours and men with brown colors when they are in the same scene. You saw the mummies themselves, Because nearly all of them had soft hair. And don't tell me about embalming process affecting hair color because it was tested and Natron does not affect hair color. Many Busts from the 3000 bce era had blue crystals where their eyes were. And do you know what was the color used for them? Brown!! Again, for you to realize that it is absurd to even argue that ancient egyptians were black. The Fayum mummy portraits depicted egyptians the way they are and they were not black. Furthermore, of you see copt, you would rarely see one of them black. For the most ignorant argument that was ever made, which is that the generic pool of egyptians was altered due to invasion of Arabs, Egypt stayed for 3 centuries after the invasion with a majority of Christians and not Muslims. Lastly, it is as simple as it seems, Iraqis are not Mongols nor arabs, Persians are not arabs, Greeks are not turks, Spanish people are not arabs nor Berbers and ancient egyptians are not arabs. The most offensive thing ever to say to someone is to tell him that he is not a descendant of natives but instead an invader and an intruder. Finally, Herodotus described the Egyptians as Georgians. And most historians described egyptians as melanchroie (swarthy) a description of Odysseus. The description was given also to Northren Indians. And all green historians differentiated clearly between northren Indians and southern Indians.
@Araweelo Xxxd Your argument lacks reliable sources. You simply are not a PhD researcher in a high ranked university to decide such a thing. But Johanne Krause was. Plus you actually don't live in the horn of Africa to say that they are soft haired, other than the fact than that are simply not. I live in Egypt, and I have many nubian friends(the ones you claim they are descendants of ancient egyptians) and guess what? They don't have soft hair! They look like nubians!!! If you have seen some pictures of African Americans having soft hair, that's because they are 20% European. So, the next time you try to delude yourself of being an ancient egyptian, try a convenient argument. Btw, I really don't know why african Americans are trying to claim being ancient egyptians, they have nothing to do with East Africans. Nubians themselves do not claim ancient egyptians and they know that modern egyptians are descendants of ancient egyptians. Nubians are people who are proud of their culture and history and they don't try stealing ours. Also, doesn't mean everyone believed at some point of time that ancient egyptians where black that they were actually black. Once people believed the earth is flat. That doesn't mean it is flat. Furthermore, There are 2 other reliable genetic researches on ancient egyptians backing up my what I say. They were published by Manchester University. Another one was published on Genes scientific magazine. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5867856/ This is the sick ideology of leftists: Escape reality by a beautiful sugary fantasy (although the reality isn't bad, there was the Ta Seti civilization and many others.) So stop trying to steal our history and culture and accept reality. You try to separate everyone from their identity just because you wish to be a descendant of ancient egyptians. The easiest most ignorant method to falsify a research is to just say it is biased. People like you are a disgrace to their race and nation. Neil De Grasse Tyson doesn't claim ancient egyptians, because he is well educated and doesn't feel a gap in his identity. Be proud of YOUR identity and don't claim other's to feel good.

As Egyptian I will explain to you the relation between ancient Egypt and modern Egypt Ancient Egypt has 4 majors haplogroup Egyptian/Mediterranean/west asian/African It was possible that Egyptian proportion was the majority like plus 66% and the others 33% in the past But in the past there always a foreigners came to Egypt and assimilated into our country alot of semetic tribes came from east and African tribes from south and berber tribes from west that happened in pharaohs ages Now there was a 35 million have Egyptian genes that means that the original genes decreased to the half And 35 million have another Mediterranean Gene's (12 million Levant/12 million berber/12 Europeans Mediterranean) 20 million (Arabs 10 million/persians 5 million/ Turks 5 million) 15 million African genes (5 million nubian/5 million Sudan/5 million horn) So Egyptian Gene's still have a considerable proportion 33% from 105 million after all these invasions And there were a homogenous in our population Because ancient Egyptians are Mediterranean Levant and north Africa and north Mediterranean European are Mediterranean So the Mediterranean Gene's up to 66% including ancient Egypt (33+33) And when we know that there was a little different between Mediterranean including Egyptians and the semetic west Asian Gene's so there was 80% (Egyptian Gene's and the others similar to it) The only Gene's that are not similar to Egyptians are the African 15% and Turk central Asian 5% and we are proud of them So when you see the Egyptians say they are Arabs they means linguistically or culturally But that doesn't mean that all the Egyptians died and all the 105 million are Arabs The Arabic genes are just in 10 million Our 35 million Egyptian Gene's not only in Coptic people because Coptic people mixed with another people before christianity and during christianity and after christianity there always foreigners in Egypt and that's not limited to muslim foreigners only So the 33% old Egyptian gene's be there In muslims and Christians and atheists
University of Chicago Egyptologist Frank Yurco - Frank Yurco, "An Egyptological Review" in Mary R. Lefkowitz and Guy MacLean Rogers, eds. Black Athena Revisited. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1996. p. 62-100 "Certainly there was some foreign admixture [in Egypt], but basically a homogeneous African population had lived in the Nile Valley from ancient to modern times... [the] Badarian people, who developed the earliest Predynastic Egyptian culture, already exhibited the mix of North African and Sub-Saharan physical traits that have typified Egyptians ever since (Hassan 1985; Yurco 1989; Trigger 1978; Keita 1990; Brace et al., this volume)... The peoples of Egypt, the Sudan, and much of East Africa, Ethiopia and Somalia are now generally regarded as a [Nile Valley] continuity, with widely ranging physical features (complexions light to dark, various hair and craniofacial types) but with powerful common cultural traits, including cattle pastoralist traditions (Trigger 1978; Bard, Snowden, this volume). Language research suggests that this Saharan-[Nile Valley] population became speakers of the Afro-Asiatic languages... Semitic was evidently spoken by Saharans who crossed the Red Sea into Arabia and became ancestors of the Semitic speakers there, possibly around 7000 BC... In summary we may say that Egypt was a distinct Afro-Asiatic African culture rooted in the Nile Valley and on the Sahara."
@DR Groce Arabs converted egyptians to muslims, but DNA proves modern Egyptians did not "mixed" much with Arabs or blacks or other races even after more than 2,000 years after their downfall and conquest from nubians(blks), Greeks and Romans and then Arabs.
@DR Groce dude I don't want to surprise you but the Arabs themselves are half Egyptian and half Mesopotamian their father is Abraham (Mesopotamian) and their mother Hagar (Egyptian) so basically they are our relatives even before the Islamic conquests
A couple of misconceptioms here. 1. North Africans aren't just simply composer of a mix between Sub-Saharan Africans and Eurasians, because they stem from their own ancestral cluster which evolved in North Africa. This is ancestry cluster is a core to many North African and proto-Caucasoid phenotypes. 2. The nation bordering Kemet (what is now Egypt) to the south was indeed Kush, but here's the thing. Kush was Nilo-Saharan, not Cushitic.
Caucasoid so called north "Africans" are NOT AFRICANS...they originate in western eurasia...that's why their DNA is always grouped with middle east DNA because that's where they are from...THEY ARE NOT AFRICANS...the ancient Khemites were REAL Africans/Blacks that had no need to migrate to Africa because they were always in Africa..
@@sugar-daddykhayreddin1115 I didn't say that it wasn't Kushitic. I said it wasn't Cushitic. What the anthropologies call Cushitic are really just Horners. It's the same case with the modern served Ethiopia. Aethiop originally meant burnt face. The Eastern Nilo-Saharan peoples (Nubians, Luos, etc) such as have the highest Melanin content of Africa.

They probably did. I've read in a good source sometime back that in Spain at any rate there's Catalonia, derived from Gothalonia, and Andalusia, derived ultimately from Vandalusia or something like that. I know that Andalusia spent the longest time under Muslim rule than any other part of the Iberian peninsula and it was known al-Andaluz which might mean something in Arabic or derived from a term having to do with the Vandals.

This is a very fascinating presentation !! I always wondered to what extent Egyptians are really Arabs. I also found it super fascinating that Algerians are the closest to Europeans.
Dragon Of The West Ancient Egyptians were Copts. Even today, many Copts continue some ancient cultural traditions. Also, all ancient Egyptians converted to and remained in Christianity for 500 years until the demographic was heavily altered by he Arab invasions. There were pharaohs from Nubia, but they weren’t natives. Most pharaohs were of native Egyptian or Greek ancestry.

@@dr.apollo4226 you do realise nubians are native to Egypt right... Nubia is South Egypt and North Sudan, and these people were the first inhabitants of the Nile.
@@fourtyseven47572 In ancient Egypt, there were two kingdoms that had many wars and conflicts. Today, these two kingdoms are Sudan and Egypt. The reason there are Nubians in modern Egypt is due to the fact that colonial powers divided Africa strategically for their benefit with little regard to ethnic distribution. Nubians have their own culture, and it is the same as the Sudanese, but has a stark contrast with Egyptian culture. There are similarities between both ancient ethnicities, obviously, as they are neighboring each other, but Nubians were certainly not Ancient Egyptians.
Wow this is crazy. I’m Algerian born in Constantine, and you just explained my heritage better than anyone! Because both my maternal and paternal grandmothers are Turkish! Which I try to explain to people the reason why I’m “lighter” than the average North African !
That is because they were not Turks but Kulughli, meaning descendant of slaves. At the beginning of the Ottoman era, many who came in Ifriqiya (Tunis, Tripoli) and Maghreb al Awsat (Constantine, Annaba, Alger) were janissaries, slave soldiers captured when they were young from Greek, Slavic, Circassian and other origins. For example, the first Mouradite Bey of Tunis, Mourad Bey, was a Corsican. And the fist husseinite Bey was the son of a janissary from the greek Island of Crete.
@@lilahdog568We're typically Mediterraneans. We have an olive skin, we easily tan and we rarely have sunburns. We're lighter than subsahrian black people and darker than white north europeans
*Well they well they weren't white either ancient Egyptians were most likely a mixture of sub-Saharan Africans from what is now Sudan also Africans from the Horn of Africa people from the Levant and North Africans most likely libyans or berbers people*
I'm half Egyptian and half English. My father (Egyptian) was of Turkish descent though he only spoke Arabic. On my mum's side (English) I also have Irish ancestry (Tralee). I find genetic origins mildly interesting, but in reality they mean very little. More important are the beliefs, cultural habits and above all character of a person that is important. (BTW Why was the Egyptian girl crying? Because her daddy was a mummy.)
I don't agree that the least affected region in North Africa from genetically change is the Algerian Kabyle region, Kabyle people are more influenced with Southern European admixture than others. The purest Berbers are to be found in the Moroccan Souss region, and in overall the purest Berbers are to be found in Morocco and not in Algeria or Tunis. And we still speak our old language unlike the Algerians and the Tunisians who went trough heavy Arabization. I did a DNA test myself and the results showed me 0% SSA and 0% Middle Eastern/Arab (I'm Berber).
I believe that's what I said in the video. Algerians are the closest to Europeans, Egyptians are closest to Middle Eastern and Moroccans are the purest North Africans.
Why are people trying so hard to make the Ancient Egyptians black? They clearly were not, when they'd draw Nubians, Nubians were depicted very dark while the Ancient Egyptians were an olive skin tone. Us Nubians are clearly entirely separate people from the Ancient Egyptians. And no, before anyone says it, not all black people are Nubian :I.. I'm from a Nubian tribe.
@Aghilas I am not a African American i am African and I know that ancient Egyptian was black and base anything on that comment above this guy is troll is not from Africa
you can't lump all ancient Egyptians in the same gene pool since there were two distinct Egypt's back then, hence the term the Two Lands". Northern Egyptians in antiquity were culturally and genetically related to people from the Levant, while Southern Egyptians were culturally and genetically related to Nilotic people before they began to intermarry with northerners. You can definitely see these racial distinctions in the bust of Narmer, the first pharaoh to unify the 'two lands'. And you can absolutely see it in the face of the Sphinx. They both have an unmistakable Nilotic phenotype. I might even say a Dinka or Nuer look about him.
@ybzuoiun ygzh xintyawmade Hamites? That is an out-dated term created by early racists anthropologists. To be called Hamite they would have to be a none-mixed ethnic group, which they're not.
@joseph adel I did go f**ck myself last night and it was so satisfying. Now stop cherry picking info from wikipedia. Like I said, Egypt had two distinct populations, it's still evident today. If you want to quote some peer reviewed article, find one that is more recent than 1993. There have been plenty of studies sense that decade that show exactly what I was talking about.
I am Egyptian and i am telling you that the dual lands existing were both upper Egyptians ; king narmer came from the same city of senusirt third who were fighting nubians and kushi (the first subsaharun people in africa) captivating them so bothlands were coptic and north african not another ones.
I always thought that the modern Arab Egyptians looked distinctly different than the Egyptians as portrayed in ancient Egyptian art. For one thing, they don't walk like an Egyptian. I can only see one shoulder when looking at them in profile now.
I used to watch your videos a few years ago and had stopped but just rediscovered your channel. You did a really good job here. All my research seem to agree with the information you presented. I wish you'd found a photo from the Greco-Egyptian Dynasty when you were talking about that period instead of Nefertiti who came several centuries before; nevertheless, I got your overarching point. Keep up the good work. You have clearly refined your approach to discussing these topics that could be very sensitive: knowledge and maturity, I suppose. Your effort is highly appreciated.

Definitely, but there are those Eurocentrists and afrocentrists who claim that modern egyptians are not related to ancient egyptians so that they can start stealing their heritage for themselves
What's wrong with me? I wish I could be like this guy: to know so little actual Nile Valley history and yet present the history of Egyptian populations with such unshakeable confidence as to almost come off as an authority on the matter.
Agreed , he really needs to study Nile valley culture his information is exceptionally inaccurate . It is clear he knows nothing about TaSeti, how Nile Valley culture flowed from the south to the north . He obviously has never seen the bust of Menes/Narmer or Kufu, Ahmenhotep , etc etc etc . He is spreading mis information to the masses about the greatest civilization that has ever inhabited the earth ...sad.
Egypt lies in Africa and Asia as well and during Ramses dystanie A big part of Asia was part of Egypt. Ancient Egyptians are the Mideterrean people, that is obvious from Hatshepsut, Ramsees mummies and Nefertiti, Himiunu statues

For those interested - To get accurate information about the origins of Egypt and its people research African historian Dr John Henrik Clarke and famed Egyptologist Dr Yosef Ben Jochannan
African culture aka ancient Egyptian culture began from the inside body of Africa & up the Nile valley I.e from the inside of the continent up - the first pyramids are found along many African nations- Sudan is a key in terms of understanding Egypt. But for a far more comprehensive knowledge read and listen 👂🏿 to the lectures of the two experts in African history above. + ignore the propagandists below that reply to this comment and do the research for yourself.

So Egyptians having blue eyes (some of them) and red hair, is actually well documented in related cushite groups wjomloterslly descend from the same natufian ancestral origin as ancient Egyptians (as well as the same iberomaurasian ancestral origin, and the same protoafroasiatic origin)

The video is full of errors due to Masaman lack of knowledge of Genetics He claims muslim Egyptians are heavily mixed with Arabs due to 27% of them having Haplogroup J. What he doesn't know that Egyptian haplogroup J is a completely different sub clade than that of Arabs. Haplogroup J has been in Egypt since the Neolithic (10,000 ya), not a recent acquisition after Arab invasion as Masaman claims
As a coptic Egyptian, we see ourselves as ethnically distinct from our muslim co-inhabitants. Although most of them will be descendants from Copts who were forced to convert under Islamic rule, they have mixed with the peoples of the Arab peninsula and other areas more so than the Christians. Throughout Egypt's rule by Muslim leaders, Copts have been discriminated against and a visible sign of this is a cross tattoo which almost all Copts have on their right wrist. This was a clear way to identify a Christian from a Muslim. This distinction however, helped preserve and strengthen the identity of the Copts to pass on their traditions and lock in their genetics as inter-faith marriages are almost completely prohibited. This attempt at preserving genetics within the Christian community comes from a sense of origins and connection to the ancient Egyptians who accepted Christianity in the first century and established the church in Egypt. Many Egyptian-Arabic words come from the Ancient Egyptian language and differ from the other Arabic speaking countries; for example "Ay-sh" in Egyptian instead of "khobz" in arabic, the former coming from the pharaonic language. In addition, the Coptic language, which is still used by the Copts in church, is the direct descendant from the ancient Egyptian language with a switch only in the letters from demonic to greek. The word Coptic itself means Egyptian. Ofcourse, over thousands of years the language has also changed but I say this to suggest that there is a direct and clear lineage genetically, culturally, and linguistically between the ancient Egyptians and the modern Copts.
Very usefull topic masman I am from sudan Please do a research on the diversity of ethnic and cultural groups in sudan with a brief history of the acient nubians Thanks.
Can you make a video about the Green Saharans of the Neolithic Subpluvial? They were incredibly diverse with both Afro-Asiatic (Berber, Chadic, Egyptian, Cushitic, Semetic), Nilo-Saharan (Nilotic, Saharan, Sudanic, Songhai), Niger-Kordofanian (Mande, Fula, Dogon, Benue-Congo, Ubangi) and an unknown amount of other lost language isolates. These Green Saharans from about 8,000-3,000 BC were inhabited by hunter-gatherers, fishers, pastoralists for most of its relatively unknown history before adopting farming and horses during their last 1,000 or so years. Due to mass desertification the Green Saharans would see themselves dispersed into every direction. Into West, Central, East and North Africa. Their migrations may very well have contributed genetically or culturally to the first West and Central African civilizations of Tichitt, Kintampo and Gajiganna. Also possibly influenclng the early Nile Valley civilizations just as much as their West Asian kin who they would meet in the middle. Its a very understated and unexpplored topic that I would love to see you tackle.
@@kbtitan2464 Have to agree with you. Again, there were changes both times and again with the Kushites; and we're not even counting the changing bloodlines of the pharaohs marrying foreign princesses.

correct me if im wrong please, but I was always told by my dad who is a retired anthropologist, who worked in the field for over 15 years, just putting that out there so a lot of people don't automatically discredit him, but he always told me that at first during the early dynastic period and old kingdom Egypt was mostly horn African and Nubian, but from the middle kingdom and on was mostly mixed and genetically displaced by people of Eurasian descent, and that's why the Faiyum painting people look more Eurasian than anything. EDIT: I also heard that even from the Predynastic period the delta and western desert all the way to the late 12th dynasty was mostly Berber people, but after were displaced by Canaanites, Hyksos, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, Romans and so on.
Vivid He would be correct. Archaeological evidence simply does not the support the common misconception that Middle Easterners and certainly not Europeans were present or seen in notable numbers during the Pre-Early Dynastic periods. Major academia such as Oxford and Cambridge university claimed that ancient Egypt was African and originated from populations from the Sahara and Sudan. These universities made these conclusions decades before DNA testing.They based these claims om archaeology, linguistics and the history of the region MOST modern historians NOW present Nubia and Egypt as a single Nile Valley Civilization. Look at the websites for both the MET & the British Museum two of the most well respected museums in the world. Egypt & Nubia are presented together. The territory known as Nubia is actually named for the events that occur AFTER the end of the pharaonic era. In fact, parts of Nubia were always a part of Egypt throughout the dynastic period and other parts were a rival state (although even Upper Nubia was annexed into Egypt for the majority of the pharaonic era). 2-We now know that the pre-dynastic period extends back for several millennia. In fact, the majority of this early Neolithic history occurs in the territory known as Nubia. So, presenting a combined picture gives a fuller & longer history of the Nile. 3- Culturally, pre-dynastic & pharaonic Egypt & Nubia were very similar and influenced one another. In addition, modern Egyptians & Nubians are most likely descendants of both ancient populations to a certain degree given all of the mixing throughout the generations. Historically the Nubians were among the first civilisation that emerged in Africa. They predated the formation of ancient Egypt. They were the birthplace of the 2 most important prehistoric periods (Khormusan periods & Halfan periods) that shaped the origin of ancient Egypt and the Iberomaurusian culture. *The timeline pictured below from University College London shows the earliest recorded cultures in the Nile Valley, which were Nubian - predating what we now define as Egyptian Civilization* www.ucl.ac.uk/museums-static/digitalegypt/nubia/timeline.html www.britishmuseum.org/research/publications/online_journals/bmsaes/issue_13/kobusiewicz.aspx *look at this study from the British musuem website of Burial practices of the Final Neolithic pastoralists at Gebel Ramlah, Western Desert of Egypt conducted by Michał Kobusiewicz, Jacek Kabaciński, Romuald Schild, Joel D. Irish and Fred Wendorf* it says During three seasons of research (in 2000, 2001 and 2003) carried out by the Combined Prehistoric Expedition at Gebel Ramlah in the southern part of the Egyptian Western Desert, three separate Final Neolithic cemeteries were discovered and excavated. Skeletal remains of 67 individuals, comprising both primary and secondary interments, were recovered from 32 discrete burial pits. Numerous grave goods were found, including lithics, pottery and ground stone objects, as well as items of personal adornment, pigments, shells and sheets of mica. Imports from distant areas prove far-reaching contacts. then it says Analysis of the finds sheds important light on the burial rituals and social conditions of the Final Neolithic cattle keepers inhabiting Ramlah Playa. *This community, dated to the mid-fifth millennium B.C (calibrated), was composed of a phenotypically diverse population derived from both North and sub-Saharan Africa. There were no indications of social differentiation. The deteriorating climatic conditions probably forced these people to migrate toward the Nile Valley where they undoubtedly contributed to the birth of ancient Egyptian civilization* www.cambridge.org/core/journals/antiquity/article/cultural-convergence-in-the-neolithic-of-the-nile-valley-a-prehistoric-perspective-on-egypts-place-in-africa/198005B5D23B644951E17B3F0803AF74 *From Cambridge university* it says *The African origins of Egyptian civilization lie in an important cultural horizon, the ‘primary pastoral community’, which emerged in both the Egyptian and Sudanese parts of the Nile Valley in the fifth millennium BC* A re-examination of the chronology, assisted by new AMS determinations from Neolithic sites in Middle Egypt, has charted the detailed development of these new kinds of society. The resulting picture challenges recent studies that emphasise climate change and environmental stress as drivers of cultural adaptation in north-east Africa. It also emphasises the crucial role of funerary practices and body decoration www.crystalinks.com/egypthistory.html it says *The Halfan culture flourished along the Nile Valley of Egypt and Nubia between 18,000 and 15,000 BC, though one Halfan site dates to before 24,000 BC* and it says *about twenty archaeological sites in upper Nubia give evidence for the existence of a grain-grinding Mesolithic culture called the Qadan Culture, which practiced wild grain harvesting along the Nile during the beginning of the Sahaba Daru Nile phase, when desiccation in the Sahara caused residents of the Libyan oases to retreat into the Nile valley* *the Cambridge University art and antiquities museum, Fitzwilliam admitted that not only does Egyptology have a European bias, but that the bias means that our understanding of the earliest human civilization is gravely erroneous which THEY stated* www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/dept/ant/egypt/kemet/virtualkemet/faq/ On Cambridge art museum website, under where they're asked Were the Ancient Egyptians Africans? What colour was their skin? they answer *Yes. Egypt is in Africa and there are many cultural links to other African civilizations* they go on to say *If we look at the skin colour and also facial features on representations of Egyptians, many are what we would consider today to be Black African* then it says *Skin colours on temple and wall reliefs show ranges between dark brown and black, which is typical of what we see today with regard to people of Black African descent or origin* Now Let's look into the prehistorical origin of the people of the Nile Valley. We will start from the Palaeolithic period.The Middle Paleolithic period of the Nile Valley started with the Khormusan culture. *According to Publication information from YALE university, the Khormusan culture and industry originated from Northern Sudan around the Nubian region between 65000 BP to 40000 BP* ehrafarchaeology.yale.edu/ehrafa/citation.do?forward=browseAuthorsFullContext&id=mr45-005&method=citation And according to Wikipedia, it began in Egypt between 42000 and 32000 BP en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehistoric_Egypt So it's very clear that the indigenous people of the Nile valley thousands of years ago shared ethnic/cultural values and were indiginous To Africa, Egypt/Sudan.

I found this very informative. North Africa seems to have been a breeding ground of admixture. Makes you wonder what criteria was used in the choosing of a mate. I was always curious about that. The north being so different than the sub-saharan..., at least in appearance. I'd like to look more into that.
The ancient egypt race thing has already been debated at the 1974 Symposium with a easy victory for the African scholars Cheikh Anta diop and Theophile Obenga when you read the conclusion of the UNESCO 1974 symposium . The arabs and the europeans can stay mad all they want. Even the founder of egyptology himself jean-Francois champollignon admits they were probably negros in his works. JF champollignon was the one who deciphered the hieroglyph, it was his older brother Champollignon figeac, who started this falsification with his theory of “Black caucasian” which is as ridiculous as it sounds because we have over 69 eyewitness from ancient time (Herodotus, Al-Masudi, Aristotle and others) who clearly called them Black with wooly hair , some even state the shape of the big lips and the wide nose. I dare evryone to go read original greek texts and translate it for themselves on google translator: here look at this original greek text, then use google translate yourself: www.sacred-texts.com/cla/hh/hh2020.htm Go to Ref.: The Histories - Book 2, Section 22; by Herodotus When you go on the website press book 2 and the go section 22, now take the whole paragraph and translate it. I can find 59 different authors saying the same. Even the bible and the Torah let you clearly know that they were negros with Mizraim being Cush little brother and being the descendant of Ham (progenitor of all the dark races in abrahamic religions)
Coptic Egyptian is still spoken as the liturgical language in the church of Alexandria
Some of the hymns even retain cultural elements of pre-Christian Egypt, such as hymns about christ almost being word-for-word identical to ancient hymns to Ra
I have seen some Egyptian people who clam they can speak Coptic fluently and that they learned it when they where young children.
@ghebreluel True. I thought it was obvious though since Coptic is even written in a Greek alphabet
@ghebreluel Obviously even if Coptic had no Greek loanwords (stemming from the fact that most of the Early Christian terminology was Greek and all) it would differ MUCH from the Egyptian spoken by the time of the Pharaoes, because language changes of the time.
Daniel Campbell They were black
The character of the United States has changed dramatically just in the last 200 years. Egypt is *THOUSANDS* of years old. They are so old, that Cleopatra lived closer to our own time, than she lived to the time of the pyramid builders. To Cleopatra, the pyramid builders were even more ancient than Cleopatra is to us.
And Egypt was already ancient when the pyramids were built.
If you had a time machine that could go back it time at the rate of 1 year per second, the following table will tell you how long it would take to go back in time far enough to witness historical events.
4 minutes 3 seconds to see the signing of the Declaration of independence
15:53 seconds to see the Norman invasion
33:39 to see the birth of Christ (assuming he existed, or to see any other random birth from 2019 years ago)
1 Hour 16:48 to see the first Pyramids of Giza built
about 2 and a half hours to see the first organised society that would later become what we think of as Egypt.
Eric Taylor wow
Not to mention the last Woolly Mammoths were still around when the pyramids were built. Just pointing that out.
I will say one thing is that it is a fact Jesus existed. Wether he is God or not can not be scientifically proven but the accounts of Jesus can be found written down by Jewish historians, not just Christian ones, and the Romans also wrote down that he died.
Also there are literally thousands of letters found from the first century that talk about him written by mostly Christians talking to fellow Christians but also by some Jews as well so it is a fact Jesus existed. The Apostles did not make up his existence and then went and all died terrible deaths in the name of a man they made up in a conspiracy theory
@@thewestisthebest6608 Jesus can be found written down by Jewish historians, not just Christian ones, and the Romans also wrote down that he died.
No, there is not. There is stuff that could possible be Jesus that is contemporary to him, but nothing that actually identifies him specifically.
In fact, several of the documents that mention people scholarship have said was Jesus are actually several different people when examined more closely.
As to the thousands of letter you mention, you mean thousands of pieces of letters. *ALL* of the documents that have been said to mention Jesus are *FRAGMENTS* some of these fragments are just a few letters, not even enough to identify what word they were a part of, let alone a name.
I'm sorry to say that the case for the existence of Jesus is not nearly as strong as Christians like to pretend.
The fact alone, that the evidence for Jesus has been grossly exaggerated tells us that scholars have experienced quite a bit of confirmation bias.
Not one mention of the Jesus of the Bible is contemporary with him. In fact, there are a lot of holes in his story as well. Later accounts of Jesus are more detailed than those accounts closer to the time he was said to have lived. And many of those accounts have historical anomalies. Such as mentioning practices that were not done at the time, but adopted later.
It seems to me that the oldest accounts of Jesus date only to the second century. It seems the myth of Jesus was first created several decades after his life would have ended and elaborated on by later generations.
So no, I personally don't believe Jesus ever existed at all. If he did exist, he would have had to be several different people.
Have you ever seen a frapping good movie called Bat 21? It stars Gene Hackman as a high ranking crewman from a shot down airplane and Danny Glover as the shit hot FAC who helped rescue him.
The story is true, but the Danny Glover character is made up. This was done simply to move the story along. Everything Danny did in the movie was done in real life, but it was done by several different people.
It's a great film but the book is even better. I think you'd enjoy it.
Sorry, bout that. Got distracted. It would seem that Jesus might have been like the Danny Glover in Bat 21.
For some reason I got Danny Glover confused with Danny Sullivan. How I could mix up a black actor with a white race car driver, I do not know. I think I fixed it, but there might still be a Danny Sullivan up there. If there is, just know I meant Danny Glover.

I'm Egyptian. I had this question since I was very young, I've asked people who know about this many times, even egyptologists, I searched on Google, I even did DNA tests, and the answer is the following: yes, both Muslims and Christians are the same people who built the pyramids and met the pharaohs. Egyptians are as Arabs as Spanish or Turkish people, they were conquered by Arabs and they are 5-10% Arabs, but that doesn't make them Arabs. When Greece conquered Egypt were the Egyptians Greeks? Where the Egyptians Romans when Rome conquered Egypt?
Egyptians are Egyptians!
No the reality is Archaeological evidence simply does not the support the common misconception that Middle Easterners and certainly not Europeans were present or seen in notable numbers during the Pre-Early Dynastic periods.
Major academia such as Oxford and Cambridge university claimed that ancient Egypt was African and originated from populations from the Sahara and Sudan. These universities made these conclusions decades before DNA testing. They based these claims om archaeology, linguistics and the history of the region.

I saw quite a number of Coptic churches in Cairo with well attended congregations. I saw many people with small crosses tattooed on their wrists. I think that makes them less likely to marry Muslims. At the Coptic churches I attended I couldn't tell what language the service was in, Arabic or Coptic, but I did recognize one expression "Kyrie eleison." I saw Coptic churches in Alexandria and Luxor also. However, that can be taken only so far. A traveler in Cairo and Alexandria can see a number of synagogues and then assume there's a lot of Jews around. Actually there's only a handful of Egyptian Jews; the community consists largely of old people, mainly women who were married to Muslims or too aged to move to Israel or elsewhere. I think the estimate of Copts in Egypt at about 10% sounds right, that's a lot of people.
My hometown of Jersey City, New Jersey has now a large Coptic community; I believe the head of the Coptic church in North America has his see there. In Los Angeles where I live now there's a respectable Coptic population, with a handsome church on Robertson Blvd - incidentally near a strong Orthodox Jewish neighborhood. As far as I know with no problems - and why should there be?

Basically, The Egyptians Should be Proud of both their Ancient Egyptian Heritage and their Arab Heritage. We got the most Epic mix. Also, correction, Egyptians didn't just identify as Arabs during the leadership of Gamal Abdul Nasser. Gamal Abdul Nasser's Brother who was born in the 1920s, was named by his parents "Izz al Arab" which is Arabic for "Arab Pride". This was way before Gamal Abdul Nasser's political career, let alone his Pan Arabist dreams. Gamal Abdul Nasser himself was born in 1918, and his parents were already Arab identifying nationalists. Egyptians(both Muslims and Christians) have identified as Arabs for a very long time. Only recently have we started to identify as "Pharaohs" lol, and Lebanese as "Phoenicians" and Iraqis as "Babylonians" etc. It is a ridiculous phenomenon/conspiracy to divide the Arab world into weaker and divided states. The west wants the Arabs to identify with their dead ancient civilizations just to kill the possibility of any potential Arab unity(which we have attempted before). Think about it. A United Arab republic would be the West's biggest threat. Not to mention Israel's situation in the case of a United Arab Nation. It would be Israel's Nightmare.
P.S. @7:25 The latter does not have "a more fluid definition" of the Middle East. That is the traditional definition of Middle East. There is no "Middle East" without Egypt. The Middle East is not a continent nor is it confined to a single continent, but it is a transctonintal geopolitical region that extends to three continents. It is also not synonymous with "West Asia" which has been a recent common misconception. I'm aware that you now understand this fact which is apparent in your later videos, but this information I'm typing is for the people that might have confusions about the makeup of the region or that might confuse it for a continent, which I see many people do, not just westerners. The Middle East begins with Egypt in North Africa and ends with Iran in Western Asia. The criteria of the Middle East’s geography is not based on a shared continent, but instead, it is based on shared history, politics and culture. Hence the term “Geopolitical”. While the majority of the region is situated on Western Asia, it still does not make up the entirety of the region. The Middle East is a geopolitical transcontinental region that sits on the intersection of Africa(Via Egypt), Asia(Via the Sinai of Egypt, the Levant, the Arabian peninsula, Iraq and Iran) and Europe(Via Turkey which is a country situated in both Europe and Asia(the entirety of Turkey is included in the Middle East including its European part)
The concept of the Middle East/Near East predates its western given names. It was a concept created by Arab Historians and Geographers in the Middle Ages such as Ibn Khaldun to divide the Maghreb(Western part of the Arab world) from the Mashriq(Eastern part of the Arab world) based on the cultural differences and similarities. The Maghreb became to be the Amazigh part of the Arab world which was the Western Maghreb part of the Arab world(Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Mauritania). The Eastern part of the Arab world was called “Al Mashriq”. When the westerners created the terms “Middle East and Near East” in the 19th and 20th century to refer to the same Eastern region of the Arab world that they have imperialized, they began adding the non Arab countries such as Turkey, Iran, Israel and even Cyprus.
This bring me to another important issue that needs some shedding light on, which is, in its classical definition, the term “North Africa” just simply means the top part of the African continent. But “North Africa” in the context of “North Africa and the Middle East”, only refers to the Maghreb region. So context here is very important.
The word “Maghreb” is Arabic for “where the sun sets” referring to the Western part of the Arab world while the word “Mashriq” is Arabic for “where the sun rises” referring to the Eastern part of the Arab world
Actually arabs added nothing but the destruction and commercialism of a civilization they did not create

Egypt and the rest of the Arab world is culturally Arab but that doesn't necessarily mean they're genetically from the Arabian peninsula. It's funny because Egypt is more or less the heart of the Arab world today, and not the Gulf countries. Egypt has been the heart of many civilizations at once, but the Egyptian people have always considered themselves Egyptian first and foremost regardless of language or religion. Many minor groups migrated to Egypt across history to escape the destruction of their homeland and have become integrated into Egyptian society. The reverse has also happened, where many Egyptians migrated to the Levant, Hijaz, Yemen, and even the Balkans.

As an Armenian you may be interested to know that Egypt was effectively ruled by Armenians off and on from 1073-1162 being grand viziers during an ailing Fatimid “caliphate”. They were both converts to Islam such as Badr Aljamali, his son Alafdhal, Tala'i ibn Ruzzik and his son Ruzzik as well as Christians such as Yanis and Bahram Alarmani who was given the title “the sword of Islam” even as a Christian. Large numbers of Armenians moved to Egypt during that period. Shajar al-Durr (Umm Khalil), likely an Armenian and the widow of the last Ayubid Sultan was briefly made queen of Egypt.
The situation in Egypt is the same as other non-gulf arabic speaking countries, where the people are culturally and linguistically arabs but not genetically for the most part.
Even back in the ottoman period there was a distinction between ethnic Sunni Arabs and Sunni Fellahins (literally peasants) who retained much of their ancestor's agrarian lifestyle, and were the majority. There's a story where an excavated statue was called Sheikh al Balad by the locals, after the sheikh of the village who looked extremely similar. This distinction was erased in the times of Jamal Abed Al Nasser and the whole pan Arab craze.
You also should consider that the Arab migrations were sporadic migrations from a nomadic culture which wasn't likely to be in the same numbers as the massive Egyptian population, and that Egypt has been spared the large scale massacres that levantine and Mesopotamian people experienced at the hands of mongols and timurids.
Egypt has been described as a great sea that swallows up all that is poured into it, and I couldn't agree more. Great video in any case💓
Hanno the Navigator I was gonna write a comment like this but you basically made the points I wanted to. The Egyptian population in the past was huge and migrations into Egypt were usually in small number and invaders would only bring elites with them rather than peasants, so the genetics of Egyptians wouldn’t be greatly altered. of course Egyptians mixed a bit over time but the idea of large scale mixing like in the special case of Latin America is a myth. Also from what masaman said Egyptian would have 40% southwest (not just the Arabian Peninsula) Asian ancestry from the paternal line but I would assume that the maternal line would have very little southwest Asian ancestry.
@@Yevjer Exactly. It's usually the ruling men whose haplos are overreprecented. For example roughly 50% of black Americans have an European haplo group even though they're on average only ~15% European.
iraqis are mesopotamians
You forgot that by the Muslim Arabs entered into Egypt it was already very mix
Modern day Egyptians kiss Arab ass to be one of them because they know their more closely related to Arabs than the ancient Egyptians

3-siwa egyptian you falsely called ''berbers'' have literally less than 2% of the indigenous berber y-dna haplogroup E-M81 (making them languistically related to some berbers but not genetically).

Im not impressed. The predominant genes that make up the stronger side of the North African genetics come from Levant, the second from the Yemeni. Both are present in Egypt and Barbary coast. No company has successfully seperated DNA of Berbers with the rest of North Africa except that the Magreb has a lot of European blood, and Egypt has a lot of Arabic blood.

He claims muslim Egyptians are mixed with Arabs due to 27% of them carrying Haplogroup J, although Haplogroup J has been in Egypt since the Neolithic, and has been found in ancient Egyptian mummies.
meaning that it didn't come from Arabs as Masaman ignroantly claims.
also he claims Coptic christian Egyptians incorporated Armenians into their community, giving a false premise that coptic Egyptians are now mixed with Armenians.
but what he doesn't know is that most Armenian refugees left Egypt and there numbers were negligeble to make any demograpphic change.

No pre-contact sub Saharan African population have ever created a written language or weaved cloth or forged steel. They never invented anything not even a wheel or plow. Or devised a calendar, or code of laws, or any social organization, or formal religion, or a system of measurement, or math, or built a multi-story structure, or bridge or sewer. Pre-contact Sub-Saharan black Africans have never ever created infrastructure of any kind nor have they harnessed a river or even drilled well or irrigated, or built a road, or railway, or sea-worthy vessel. They never domesticated animals or exploited underground natural resources or produced anything that could be considered a mechanical device.
Is this why american blacks are stealing egyptian history and civilisation?
As an Egyptian myself, I want to thank you for the great video, you were very informative and free from bias. However, I disagree with you. A recent DNA research published on Nature Communications conducted on Abusir El meleq mummies( middle class mummies) showed that ancient egyptians were close relatives to the Levantines with a slight sub saharan african DNA of between 6% and 15%. Modern Egyptians showed a higher rate of of sub saharan african DNA, probably due to slave trades during the Islamic empire. Lastly, thank you again for the great video. Keep it up.
It's a bogus test from the nazi eugenics linked max planck institute that was headed by a fraud named johannes Krause who used mummies of foreigners from a location and time period that was known to be heavily populated by foreigners...Egyptian civilization lasted three thousand years but ask yourself why did this phony "study" choose to use late period mummies from only one location then tried to pass them off as being representative of Egyptian population..why didn't he use mummies from more than one area and from time periods when real Egyptians were on the throne? ...THE.ANSWER IS because he wanted to carefully cherrypick the location in.order to get the skewed bootleg results he was seeking...these desperate VIKANGZ have got to do better...this was too easy to deconstruct...
@@MichaelDavis-cv6rr This all what afrocentrists do, they create some conspiracy and try to steal our history and culture. Unless you were not joking about the nazi thing, I can continue and tell you that the research was published on Nature Communications, and it is not easy to publish a research on this scientific magazine. The mummies chosen for the research where middle class mummies and not royalty. And if they chose any other mummies, you would end up with the same argument. Arguing with afrocentrists is like arguing with flat Earther, no matter how much evidence there is, you always keep uttering with the same words. Every time I see an afrocentrist, he just keeps giving me fake info and says everything is a conspiracy to prove ancient egyptians were white. You are truly unworthy of arguing with. Lastly, if you feel a gap in your identity, don't just fill it with deluding yourself of being an ancient egyptian, because you are just not. Go get some education on African history and leave egyptians alone.
@@MichaelDavis-cv6rr Do you know how all this absurdity started?? Wall paints. Ancient egyptians rarely depicted themselves with real colors, they are only symbolic. You know who else used this kind of art? The Greeks!! You heard about canonication?? This when in most cases women were depicted with white colours and men with brown colors when they are in the same scene. You saw the mummies themselves, Because nearly all of them had soft hair. And don't tell me about embalming process affecting hair color because it was tested and Natron does not affect hair color. Many Busts from the 3000 bce era had blue crystals where their eyes were. And do you know what was the color used for them? Brown!! Again, for you to realize that it is absurd to even argue that ancient egyptians were black. The Fayum mummy portraits depicted egyptians the way they are and they were not black. Furthermore, of you see copt, you would rarely see one of them black. For the most ignorant argument that was ever made, which is that the generic pool of egyptians was altered due to invasion of Arabs, Egypt stayed for 3 centuries after the invasion with a majority of Christians and not Muslims. Lastly, it is as simple as it seems, Iraqis are not Mongols nor arabs, Persians are not arabs, Greeks are not turks, Spanish people are not arabs nor Berbers and ancient egyptians are not arabs. The most offensive thing ever to say to someone is to tell him that he is not a descendant of natives but instead an invader and an intruder. Finally, Herodotus described the Egyptians as Georgians. And most historians described egyptians as melanchroie (swarthy) a description of Odysseus. The description was given also to Northren Indians. And all green historians differentiated clearly between northren Indians and southern Indians.
@Araweelo Xxxd Your argument lacks reliable sources. You simply are not a PhD researcher in a high ranked university to decide such a thing. But Johanne Krause was. Plus you actually don't live in the horn of Africa to say that they are soft haired, other than the fact than that are simply not. I live in Egypt, and I have many nubian friends(the ones you claim they are descendants of ancient egyptians) and guess what? They don't have soft hair! They look like nubians!!! If you have seen some pictures of African Americans having soft hair, that's because they are 20% European. So, the next time you try to delude yourself of being an ancient egyptian, try a convenient argument. Btw, I really don't know why african Americans are trying to claim being ancient egyptians, they have nothing to do with East Africans. Nubians themselves do not claim ancient egyptians and they know that modern egyptians are descendants of ancient egyptians. Nubians are people who are proud of their culture and history and they don't try stealing ours. Also, doesn't mean everyone believed at some point of time that ancient egyptians where black that they were actually black. Once people believed the earth is flat. That doesn't mean it is flat. Furthermore, There are 2 other reliable genetic researches on ancient egyptians backing up my what I say. They were published by Manchester University. Another one was published on Genes scientific magazine.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5867856/
This is the sick ideology of leftists: Escape reality by a beautiful sugary fantasy (although the reality isn't bad, there was the Ta Seti civilization and many others.) So stop trying to steal our history and culture and accept reality. You try to separate everyone from their identity just because you wish to be a descendant of ancient egyptians. The easiest most ignorant method to falsify a research is to just say it is biased. People like you are a disgrace to their race and nation. Neil De Grasse Tyson doesn't claim ancient egyptians, because he is well educated and doesn't feel a gap in his identity. Be proud of YOUR identity and don't claim other's to feel good.

@jacob Egypt is african
@jacob that's the problem why do we only see Africa as two continents been not any other continent?
They walked like an Egyptian
Is this a JoJo reference ?!
As Egyptian I will explain to you the relation between ancient Egypt and modern Egypt
Ancient Egypt has 4 majors haplogroup
Egyptian/Mediterranean/west asian/African
It was possible that Egyptian proportion was the majority like plus 66% and the others 33% in the past
But in the past there always a foreigners came to Egypt and assimilated into our country alot of semetic tribes came from east and African tribes from south and berber tribes from west that happened in pharaohs ages
Now there was a 35 million have Egyptian genes that means that the original genes decreased to the half
And 35 million have another Mediterranean Gene's (12 million Levant/12 million berber/12 Europeans Mediterranean)
20 million (Arabs 10 million/persians 5 million/ Turks 5 million)
15 million African genes (5 million nubian/5 million Sudan/5 million horn)
So Egyptian Gene's still have a considerable proportion 33% from 105 million after all these invasions
And there were a homogenous in our population
Because ancient Egyptians are Mediterranean
Levant and north Africa and north Mediterranean European are Mediterranean
So the Mediterranean Gene's up to 66% including ancient Egypt (33+33)
And when we know that there was a little different between Mediterranean including Egyptians and the semetic west Asian Gene's so there was 80% (Egyptian Gene's and the others similar to it)
The only Gene's that are not similar to Egyptians are the African 15% and Turk central Asian 5% and we are proud of them
So when you see the Egyptians say they are Arabs they means linguistically or culturally
But that doesn't mean that all the Egyptians died and all the 105 million are Arabs
The Arabic genes are just in 10 million
Our 35 million Egyptian Gene's not only in Coptic people because Coptic people mixed with another people before christianity and during christianity and after christianity there always foreigners in Egypt and that's not limited to muslim foreigners only
So the 33% old Egyptian gene's be there In muslims and Christians and atheists

"Certainly there was some foreign admixture [in Egypt], but basically a homogeneous African population had lived in the Nile Valley from ancient to modern times... [the] Badarian people, who developed the earliest Predynastic Egyptian culture, already exhibited the mix of North African and Sub-Saharan physical traits that have typified Egyptians ever since (Hassan 1985; Yurco 1989; Trigger 1978; Keita 1990; Brace et al., this volume)... The peoples of Egypt, the Sudan, and much of East Africa, Ethiopia and Somalia are now generally regarded as a [Nile Valley] continuity, with widely ranging physical features (complexions light to dark, various hair and craniofacial types) but with powerful common cultural traits, including cattle pastoralist traditions (Trigger 1978; Bard, Snowden, this volume). Language research suggests that this Saharan-[Nile Valley] population became speakers of the Afro-Asiatic languages... Semitic was evidently spoken by Saharans who crossed the Red Sea into Arabia and became ancestors of the Semitic speakers there, possibly around 7000 BC... In summary we may say that Egypt was a distinct Afro-Asiatic African culture rooted in the Nile Valley and on the Sahara."

A couple of misconceptioms here.
1. North Africans aren't just simply composer of a mix between Sub-Saharan Africans and Eurasians, because they stem from their own ancestral cluster which evolved in North Africa. This is ancestry cluster is a core to many North African and proto-Caucasoid phenotypes.
2. The nation bordering Kemet (what is now Egypt) to the south was indeed Kush, but here's the thing. Kush was Nilo-Saharan, not Cushitic.
@huey.p. newton All of Asia is Chinese
So kush was not kushitic lol, thats an oxymoron dude.
Egyptian were black
Caucasoid so called north "Africans" are NOT AFRICANS...they originate in western eurasia...that's why their DNA is always grouped with middle east DNA because that's where they are from...THEY ARE NOT AFRICANS...the ancient Khemites were REAL Africans/Blacks that had no need to migrate to Africa because they were always in Africa..

They probably did. I've read in a good source sometime back that in Spain at any rate there's Catalonia, derived from Gothalonia, and Andalusia, derived ultimately from Vandalusia or something like that. I know that Andalusia spent the longest time under Muslim rule than any other part of the Iberian peninsula and it was known al-Andaluz which might mean something in Arabic or derived from a term having to do with the Vandals.
Nope, They didn't
The Goths and Arabs had a very small genetic contribution to Spain. The Goths and Langobards did not have much of a genetic influence on Italy.

You are not Egyptian you are Arabic, one of the decendants of the Arab invaders. Fact.
I don't agree that the least affected region in North Africa from genetically change is the Algerian Kabyle region, Kabyle people are more influenced with Southern European admixture than others. The purest Berbers are to be found in the Moroccan Souss region, and in overall the purest Berbers are to be found in Morocco and not in Algeria or Tunis. And we still speak our old language unlike the Algerians and the Tunisians who went trough heavy Arabization. I did a DNA test myself and the results showed me 0% SSA and 0% Middle Eastern/Arab (I'm Berber).
I believe that's what I said in the video. Algerians are the closest to Europeans, Egyptians are closest to Middle Eastern and Moroccans are the purest North Africans.

you can't lump all ancient Egyptians in the same gene pool since there were two distinct Egypt's back then, hence the term the Two Lands". Northern Egyptians in antiquity were culturally and genetically related to people from the Levant, while Southern Egyptians were culturally and genetically related to Nilotic people before they began to intermarry with northerners. You can definitely see these racial distinctions in the bust of Narmer, the first pharaoh to unify the 'two lands'. And you can absolutely see it in the face of the Sphinx. They both have an unmistakable Nilotic phenotype. I might even say a Dinka or Nuer look about him.

It honestly just depends how far you go back. Different dynasties, north or south Egypt and multiple invasions.

I always thought that the modern Arab Egyptians looked distinctly different than the Egyptians as portrayed in ancient Egyptian art. For one thing, they don't walk like an Egyptian. I can only see one shoulder when looking at them in profile now.

I wish you'd found a photo from the Greco-Egyptian Dynasty when you were talking about that period instead of Nefertiti who came several centuries before; nevertheless, I got your overarching point. Keep up the good work. You have clearly refined your approach to discussing these topics that could be very sensitive: knowledge and maturity, I suppose. Your effort is highly appreciated.

For those interested - To get accurate information about the origins of Egypt and its people research African historian Dr John Henrik Clarke and famed Egyptologist Dr Yosef Ben Jochannan
African culture aka ancient Egyptian culture began from the inside body of Africa & up the Nile valley I.e from the inside of the continent up - the first pyramids are found along many African nations- Sudan is a key in terms of understanding Egypt. But for a far more comprehensive knowledge read and listen 👂🏿 to the lectures of the two experts in African history above.

@joseph adel ikr, yuck.
Two ethnic groups I was expecting to be mentioned: Indo-Europeans (Hyksos) brought the gene for blue eyes (statues with blue eyes have been discovered) and there was supposed to be a strong Galatian (Celtic-ish) presence in Fayum, introduced during the reign of the Ptolemies. Any mention of those?

@walker Its "Ignorance", not ignorant. Then you must be some sort of foolish person if you actually believe the ancient Egyptians were European, like what is actually wrong with you dude?
@walker 18th century European officers and explorers found many Somali rendile people with sharp blue eyes and red hair (it comes from henna). So Egyptians having blue eyes (some of them) and red hair, is actually well documented in related cushite groups wjomloterslly descend from the same natufian ancestral origin as ancient Egyptians (as well as the same iberomaurasian ancestral origin, and the same protoafroasiatic origin)
@@Takeru9292 read what I wrote bro, these white supremacists love clutching at straws, blue eyes aren't unique to Europe, even in the 1800s British colonial documents mention how they met rendile Somali Cushites with the most striking blue eyes...cushites carry thr same e1b1b dna as ancient Egyptians, and share the same ancestral origin, so if cushites as recent as the 1800s had blue eyes, its not surprising that ancient Egyptians 4600 to 5000 years ago (before any semitic levwntine invasions) also had blue eyes, intact, id be surprised if they didn't have them

The video is full of errors due to Masaman lack of knowledge of Genetics
He claims muslim Egyptians are heavily mixed with Arabs due to 27% of them having Haplogroup J.
What he doesn't know that Egyptian haplogroup J is a completely different sub clade than that of Arabs.
Haplogroup J has been in Egypt since the Neolithic (10,000 ya), not a recent acquisition after Arab invasion as Masaman claims
As a coptic Egyptian, we see ourselves as ethnically distinct from our muslim co-inhabitants. Although most of them will be descendants from Copts who were forced to convert under Islamic rule, they have mixed with the peoples of the Arab peninsula and other areas more so than the Christians. Throughout Egypt's rule by Muslim leaders, Copts have been discriminated against and a visible sign of this is a cross tattoo which almost all Copts have on their right wrist. This was a clear way to identify a Christian from a Muslim. This distinction however, helped preserve and strengthen the identity of the Copts to pass on their traditions and lock in their genetics as inter-faith marriages are almost completely prohibited. This attempt at preserving genetics within the Christian community comes from a sense of origins and connection to the ancient Egyptians who accepted Christianity in the first century and established the church in Egypt. Many Egyptian-Arabic words come from the Ancient Egyptian language and differ from the other Arabic speaking countries; for example "Ay-sh" in Egyptian instead of "khobz" in arabic, the former coming from the pharaonic language. In addition, the Coptic language, which is still used by the Copts in church, is the direct descendant from the ancient Egyptian language with a switch only in the letters from demonic to greek. The word Coptic itself means Egyptian. Ofcourse, over thousands of years the language has also changed but I say this to suggest that there is a direct and clear lineage genetically, culturally, and linguistically between the ancient Egyptians and the modern Copts.

Can you make a video about the Green Saharans of the Neolithic Subpluvial? They were incredibly diverse with both Afro-Asiatic (Berber, Chadic, Egyptian, Cushitic, Semetic), Nilo-Saharan (Nilotic, Saharan, Sudanic, Songhai), Niger-Kordofanian (Mande, Fula, Dogon, Benue-Congo, Ubangi) and an unknown amount of other lost language isolates. These Green Saharans from about 8,000-3,000 BC were inhabited by hunter-gatherers, fishers, pastoralists for most of its relatively unknown history before adopting farming and horses during their last 1,000 or so years. Due to mass desertification the Green Saharans would see themselves dispersed into every direction. Into West, Central, East and North Africa. Their migrations may very well have contributed genetically or culturally to the first West and Central African civilizations of Tichitt, Kintampo and Gajiganna. Also possibly influenclng the early Nile Valley civilizations just as much as their West Asian kin who they would meet in the middle. Its a very understated and unexpplored topic that I would love to see you tackle.

correct me if im wrong please, but I was always told by my dad who is a retired anthropologist, who worked in the field for over 15 years, just putting that out there so a lot of people don't automatically discredit him, but he always told me that at first during the early dynastic period and old kingdom Egypt was mostly horn African and Nubian, but from the middle kingdom and on was mostly mixed and genetically displaced by people of Eurasian descent, and that's why the Faiyum painting people look more Eurasian than anything.
EDIT: I also heard that even from the Predynastic period the delta and western desert all the way to the late 12th dynasty was mostly Berber people, but after were displaced by Canaanites, Hyksos, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, Romans and so on.
Vivid He would be correct. Archaeological evidence simply does not the support the common misconception that Middle Easterners and certainly not Europeans were present or seen in notable numbers during the Pre-Early Dynastic periods.
Major academia such as Oxford and Cambridge university claimed that ancient Egypt was African and originated from populations from the Sahara and Sudan. These universities made these conclusions decades before DNA testing.They based these claims om archaeology, linguistics and the history of the region
MOST modern historians NOW present Nubia and Egypt as a single Nile Valley Civilization. Look at the websites for both the MET & the British Museum two of the most well respected museums in the world. Egypt & Nubia are presented together.
The territory known as Nubia is actually named for the events that occur AFTER the end of the pharaonic era. In fact, parts of Nubia were always a part of Egypt throughout the dynastic period and other parts were a rival state (although even Upper Nubia was annexed into Egypt for the majority of the pharaonic era).
2-We now know that the pre-dynastic period extends back for several millennia. In fact, the majority of this early Neolithic history occurs in the territory known as Nubia. So, presenting a combined picture gives a fuller & longer history of the Nile.
3- Culturally, pre-dynastic & pharaonic Egypt & Nubia were very similar and influenced one another. In addition, modern Egyptians & Nubians are most likely descendants of both ancient populations to a certain degree given all of the mixing throughout the generations.
Historically the Nubians were among the first civilisation that emerged in Africa. They predated the formation of ancient Egypt. They were the birthplace of the 2 most important prehistoric periods (Khormusan periods & Halfan periods) that shaped the origin of ancient Egypt and the Iberomaurusian culture.
*The timeline pictured below from University College London shows the earliest recorded cultures in the Nile Valley, which were Nubian - predating what we now define as Egyptian Civilization*

*look at this study from the British musuem website of Burial practices of the Final Neolithic pastoralists at Gebel Ramlah, Western Desert of Egypt conducted by Michał Kobusiewicz, Jacek Kabaciński, Romuald Schild, Joel D. Irish and Fred Wendorf*
it says During three seasons of research (in 2000, 2001 and 2003) carried out by the Combined Prehistoric Expedition at Gebel Ramlah in the southern part of the Egyptian Western Desert, three separate Final Neolithic cemeteries were discovered and excavated. Skeletal remains of 67 individuals, comprising both primary and secondary interments, were recovered from 32 discrete burial pits. Numerous grave goods were found, including lithics, pottery and ground stone objects, as well as items of personal adornment, pigments, shells and sheets of mica. Imports from distant areas prove far-reaching contacts.
then it says Analysis of the finds sheds important light on the burial rituals and social conditions of the Final Neolithic cattle keepers inhabiting Ramlah Playa. *This community, dated to the mid-fifth millennium B.C (calibrated), was composed of a phenotypically diverse population derived from both North and sub-Saharan Africa. There were no indications of social differentiation. The deteriorating climatic conditions probably forced these people to migrate toward the Nile Valley where they undoubtedly contributed to the birth of ancient Egyptian civilization*

*From Cambridge university*
it says *The African origins of Egyptian civilization lie in an important cultural horizon, the ‘primary pastoral community’, which emerged in both the Egyptian and Sudanese parts of the Nile Valley in the fifth millennium BC* A re-examination of the chronology, assisted by new AMS determinations from Neolithic sites in Middle Egypt, has charted the detailed development of these new kinds of society. The resulting picture challenges recent studies that emphasise climate change and environmental stress as drivers of cultural adaptation in north-east Africa. It also emphasises the crucial role of funerary practices and body decoration
www.crystalinks.com/egypthistory.html
it says *The Halfan culture flourished along the Nile Valley of Egypt and Nubia between 18,000 and 15,000 BC, though one Halfan site dates to before 24,000 BC*
and it says *about twenty archaeological sites in upper Nubia give evidence for the existence of a grain-grinding Mesolithic culture called the Qadan Culture, which practiced wild grain harvesting along the Nile during the beginning of the Sahaba Daru Nile phase, when desiccation in the Sahara caused residents of the Libyan oases to retreat into the Nile valley*
*the Cambridge University art and antiquities museum, Fitzwilliam admitted that not only does Egyptology have a European bias, but that the bias means that our understanding of the earliest human civilization is gravely erroneous which THEY stated*
www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/dept/ant/egypt/kemet/virtualkemet/faq/
On Cambridge art museum website, under where they're asked Were the Ancient Egyptians Africans? What colour was their skin?
they answer *Yes. Egypt is in Africa and there are many cultural links to other African civilizations*
they go on to say *If we look at the skin colour and also facial features on representations of Egyptians, many are what we would consider today to be Black African*
then it says *Skin colours on temple and wall reliefs show ranges between dark brown and black, which is typical of what we see today with regard to people of Black African descent or origin*
Now Let's look into the prehistorical origin of the people of the Nile Valley.
We will start from the Palaeolithic period.The Middle Paleolithic period of the Nile Valley started with the Khormusan culture.
*According to Publication information from YALE university, the Khormusan culture and industry originated from Northern Sudan around the Nubian region between 65000 BP to 40000 BP*
ehrafarchaeology.yale.edu/ehrafa/citation.do?forward=browseAuthorsFullContext&id=mr45-005&method=citation
And according to Wikipedia, it began in Egypt between 42000 and 32000 BP
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehistoric_Egypt
So it's very clear that the indigenous people of the Nile valley thousands of years ago shared ethnic/cultural values and were indiginous To Africa, Egypt/Sudan.
