Stupid American comments here.. Facts) The Sáhara was not even massive wasteland during the predynastyc KMT era and up to this day not an impenetrable border. The Sagara frontier myth was created by racists. The culture was Afrasan (Afrasan) and had a strong impact on the Mediterranean culture (Crete). KMT had an inclusion policy. Foreign deities and people were integrated into culture which had an indigenous African leitmotif. Therefore people could come in a wide range of complexion, but none of them would fit the modern definition of white. Berbers come in all Colours and are not Arabs , but often identify as such as. Arab is a cultural term. Arabs come in all colours, but the Arabs proper originate from Southern Yemen which was genealogically and culturally bond to the Horn of Africa civilizations. Just like Hebrew , Arab stems from the Kemitic (Afro-Asiatic) word "hbr" which means nomad or tent dweller - an abominable lifestyle for sedentary people. Semitic is a language group - not a phenotype. It is the only branch of the Afro-Asian language groups (indigenous to Africa)which made it to the Middle East. No matter what complexion you prefer, all Kemites (Ancient Egyptians) would have to battle racism in modern, predominantly white countries today, as unwanted immigrants, labeled the N-word or referred to as terrorists because of the wrong religion. So Europeans or Euro-Americans , you definitely have no genealogical claim to this ancient civilization...just chill

Amun wasn’t the most important god in all of Egypt, all through ancient history. At different times in different places different gods and goddesses had more importance than others.

A 2017 genetic study of 83 mummies from northern Egypt (buried near modern-day Cairo), which constituted "the first reliable data set obtained from ancient Egyptians using high-throughput DNA sequencing methods," showed that these persons were most closely related to the diverse modern populations of what is now the Arab world, particularly the southern Levant and Arabia, as well as Turkey, while also indicating smaller affinities to the neighboring southeastern European and sub-Saharan African (Nubian) populations.
Not so quick wikipedia. These mummies were only from the more recent time periods, not dating back into the old kingdom at all. (more from 1000bc at latest). Either you're parroting wiki shit and not analytically minded or slobbering to post anything that'll support you.
stuff like that would be correct. they were invaded by muslims early on which is why places like tunisia, morroco, algeria etc exist. it was the berbers. sure they were invaded by nubia, macedonia and eventually the roman empire.
Sorry son, but the only mummies who's dna was released were Pharaoh Ramses lll and his son Pentawer, and both carried dna haplogroup E1b1a, which is strictly sub-Saharan African. In other words, the man who started their family line was black African!
They weren't white. Sorry, can't take this seriously. Egypt was a mixed-race nation with various skin tones ranging from dark to tan but definitely not lily white.
@kush nation they were not this pale. Only a few would be this complexion due to mixture from other nations. The predominant people were darkskin and brown people. This is so innacurate

I didn't want to talk about skin color in a history video, but umm,if they were black. Why didn't they painted themselves in back not brown ? , Although they painted African enemies in black ?? Could the ancient Egyptians not know of their skin color ? Plus , Nubia was part of Egypt from the beginning of time ,so the Pharaohs who rules from it shouldn't be called black Africans(no Offence) as they were part of Egypt!
So what should the Nubians be called? What do they look like to you, white? And if the Egyptians were white they wouldn't have portrayed themselves brown skinned with afro's. Black doesn't mean your skin has to be like charcoal. There were paintings of Nubians with brown, red and ebony-colored skin, but they were still African people and would be considered black. This documentary is a joke. And yes the Nubian's were part of Egypt, they were related to each other. Later the Egyptians intermarried with foreigners from the north and became mixed people much like the Latino people of the America's. But they have never been as white as these actors are in the doc.
this is the dumbest comment I've seen. I don't see caucasian people painted specifically as white. They're all medium brown in the paintings and artifacts, with a few being extremely pale/lightskin. And then the rest are Nubians which are black. The predominant amount were what we today would call "black people"

@@andrewlove3686 sorry but that makes no scientific sense in the slightest. The egyptians (so to many historians) themselves say the came from the beginning of the nile (south africa), also to say they were always Caucasian make little sense.

Black can be many things, same as whiter, or Caucasians. I don't see how you've come to the conclusion that i am a moron(which is true and false subjectively), but it is nevertheless interesting.
When will they stop portraying ancient Egypt as white looking people! This is becoming ridiculous! -,- Ancient Egypt was black and was call Kemet land of black, the statues etc.. are clearly Black! Unless people are blind or acting like. Kemets are BLACK.
If you're implying that Napoleon had the Sphinx' nose shot off, you're wrong. That nose had broken off long before Napoleon's time. If I have to bet it's either the early Egyptian Christians or the Muslims because of their intolerance of idolatry.

Born Justice Rule that is technically incorrect. There are some theories that say it’s possible that it was derived from the name but there are also theories that say it was derived from Sanskrit. So “Amun = Amen” is factually wrong because it has not been proven as fact.
Born Justice Rule is the plus sign related to the cross then? And the reason why the cross became the religious symbol of Christianity is because Christians believed Jesus was crucified on a cross. Which is totally possible since crucifixion was used as a capital punishment in those times and the structures on which people were crucified resembled crosses. So yeah, the cross and the ankh, as religious symbols, actually don’t have anything to do with each other. There are plenty of different languages that have words that sound almost exactly the same. And they could just be coincidence. The same could be said of the name Amun and the word Amen. The ancient Egyptian name Amun means “the hidden one” or “invisible”. While the Hebrew word “Amen” means “so be it”. They have completely different meanings. The basic root from which the word “Amen” was derived is common to a number of languages, such as Aramaic, in the Semitic branch of the Afroasiatic languages. Ancient Egyptian is part of the Afroasiatic languages so that could explain why they sound similar. But the fact still stands, “Amun” does not equal “Amen”.
Born Justice Rule thanx. Anyway, I do hope u understand that I meant no offence. I’m a total ancient history nerd and love studying about it. I just wanted to point out that it’s possible the name and the word have nothing to do with each other and instead just sound similar because of a common linguistic root.
The African Americans that were transported mostly from west Africa had no history to cling to so they disparately are trying to claim Egyptians were black. Egyptians were caucasoids same as today and left arts and writing depicting clear differenes between them and African blacks. Mummies and writing every where in egypt proves the same. Egyptians are not black today or one thousand years ago or 5000 years ago. Historians do not pay attention to afrocentric black maniacs in America because they would claim that the moon was visited by Africans very time soon. If you have no history then claim one. That is what people that where migrated from west Africa few hundred years ago are thinking today. They have nothing to be proud of historically so they manufactured lies that do not stand a chance in the books of history and archeology. They see every thing in black white or yellow. So if a civilization on the medeterranian that is not built by European master's must be built by blacks..what a non logic
GORO911 how do you know? Kemet is so old when the slaves were in west Africa Kemet was already petty ancient. Slaves weren’t brought to America until the 1500s although some of us were already here. The reason why a lot of black slaves fled to west Africa is because the Romans and other Africans pushed them out of north east Africa which people consider the Middle East. Which is why they are still fighting there till this day. So you can’t say African Americans have no connection when this happened so long ago. We do know we are a gifted people thanks to the most high.
Caucasian Egyptians, much like the Ones there now, except they had red and Blonde hair and Blue eyes, which the Locals dont have... Of Course... why would a West African ask...?? they arent involved at all, and arent in the Bible Either, thats the Jewish SlaveMasters Book.... SMH. Now say Caucasians were only from the Caucass Mountains, like an Idiot...
Hahaha Idiot Dundu who didnt do research before Mouthing off: From the Encyclopedia Britanica( British) Africa was Named for Scipio Africans, after the 2nd Punic war of Hannibal Barqa... The Name Africa is of African Origins from the Egyptian Word "Afru-ika" or 'Motherland." the Greek spellin of Africanus...The name signifies that the person named himself After Africa, as Motherland of Caucasians. One thing is certain, Greek and Latin have Egyptian linguistic influences although both are Indo-European languages. How Sad for your Dunghut Dreams, Tissue for the uninformed Pathetic Liar...? now west African Idiot.... - you are Dismissed... to go do research into the Caucasian Egyptians.
So funny to see african americans wearing a egyptian cross on their necks, as if they were actually the egyptians. African americans were west african, and didnt have anything to do with north-east africans anyway. These people need to be stopped.
So funny to see white Americans in movies about Egyptians. They look out of place and ridiculous! As if they were actual Egyptians! SMHLMAO! White american's were British and Nordics, and Scandinavians and had nothing to do with northeast Africa anyway. These people need to stop your madness.
@ what nation are you referring to, Egypt? Similar skin tone? What is this, a joke? How is reddish-brown, and dark brown skintone similar to pale skin,blond hair and blue eyes? Egptians may be a mixture of phenotypes, but blond hair and blue eyes weren't a part of the Nile valley phenotype. Forget your western history class ,open your eyes and see for yourself. They left plenty of evidence painted on the walls of tombs.
@ the British played no part in creating Ancient Nile Valley culture. They only showed up a hundred years ago to marvel at what those ancient Africans had accomplished.
Guys stop with the racist crap...besides Egyptians looked more "white" than "black" for the most part. They were middle eastern in appearance. Did you know that Rameses the Great actually had red hair!!! As well as a hooked nose. Now that's not to say there weren't black folks in Egypt, sure there were! But they weren't the predominant race. And still aren't today. In Egypt that is. And that's ok! It's just were folks are from. Not one "race" is better than another. Quit whining about the portrayals! THIS IS HISTORICALLY ACCURATE! Its there just to teach you what it may have been like. Stop worrying about shit that doesn't even matter. Race doesn't matter!! get off ur sjw soapboxes and realize that, though you don't like it, this is true. u might not like the SKU to be blue and claim it's dark green, but that doesn't change the fact that the sky is blue. get over it . Damn.
@Kessa R honey, they learned this from his mummy. And they wore wigs and shaved their heads back in ancient Egypt which is why it's depicted as such. How about you learn then get back to me.
uh oh! UH OH!! STRAWMAN ALERT!!! STRAWMAN ALERT!!! . NO ONE! is saying that at all. NO ONE is claiming that. and the people who DO usually DO have native or African blood. just cuz they look white doesnt mean they dont share the blood. Youre being racist because your judging people based purely on their skin. In any case, What WE ARE saying is that Ancient Egyptians were more MIDDLE EASTERN than SAHARAN! man you have no argument. and you are a racist jerk.
first of all, you can NOT generalize the evidence. Ancient egypt has a long history that spanned thousands of years, and attracted thousands and perhaps millions of migrant workers and invaders. so take any piece of evidence with the a grain salt, since they're not Representative of entire population of ancient egypt

So you're flat out wrong about "negroid" people. But that's the failure of such terms, they're rigid and don't account for the bell curve deviations found in all these groups from their standards. Not that you have any idea what I'm saying, By the way, just reading your writing is hilarious with all the stray capitals and low level terms. Fuck your shitty racist failed upbringing and those who allowed it around you, poser.
Really tho loo
This comment section is fucking hilarious! xD
Can you pls post this documentary on youtube
Interesting similarities between Egyptian, Greek, and Jewish cosmology.
Egypt was basically the capital of the world they were all in communication, that’s why there’s pyramids all over the world and similar agriculture
@Luke Bassilious it was the devil who influenced that and the lifeform sacrifices.
The Greeks borrowed almost everything from Egypt. Most of their gods were from Egypt. They copied Egyptian culture, religion, architecture etc. Heck, they even tried to become Egyptians.
@@listenup2882 Get real. I don't think that Egypt with its pharaoh god-kings were a model for a Homer, Socrates, Euclid, an Archimedes, or a Plato. In fact, the opposite was true where the Egypt of the Ptolemies incorporated Creek culture and a thirst for knowledge.
@@johnchambers2996 really. Are you not aware that many Greeks, such as Pythagoras studied in Ancient Egypt?
That’s where they got the word amen from . 😉
Yup💯

@@andrewlove3686 sorry but that makes no scientific sense in the slightest. The egyptians (so to many historians) themselves say the came from the beginning of the nile (south africa), also to say they were always Caucasian make little sense. See scientists say Caucasians (specifically Europeans) evolve lighter skin and a thiner nose (aquiline) to better survive cold climates, so please tell me why would these traits evolve in a people living in a hot, moist, and sunny environment? Unless you would whether stand by your biased beliefs than science?
@@andrewlove3686 I'm done with you, i see you have no hope. You know...i truly wonder do people like you believe your own lies, If so i recommend consulting a doctor. You have exhausted your level of entertainment for me. You are unscientific and VERY VERY biased. Have a nice day and properly educate yourself. You don't have to lie to yourself and make non-existent scientific data to feel better. Be proud of your culture and don't be dumb. Like seriously I'm not even african but can see dark skin when i see it. Also literally all of your recent statements are unproven and clearly biased. You are not stating ANY actual scientific fact....like really ALL THE MUMMIES ARE CAUCASIAN!!! The amount of ignorance in that statement is admittedly mildly amusing, like seriously all mummies haven't even been tested lol
@ intellectualbeast7 0 i gotta say you're a moron as well. you realize you state mummies were caucasian right? also ace love said the same damn thing about mummies. try paying attention instead of what you want to. "intellectualbeast7 0 caucasoid homeland is the Mediterranean basin. all DNA tests all mummies all eygptian art show that they were Caucasoid" do you even know what this means? they said the same damn thing genius. also you're telling my egyptian art is wrong? i'm sorry now you're a fucking moron. if there was a black person it was showed in the artwork as a black person.
@@tenin982000 Majin Vegeta i have not the slightest idea of what you are talking about. It's funny you say "my art", when the people who made them were living thousands of years ago. And for the last time the terms "white" and "black" when referring to race is very ambiguous. Scientifically it is hard likely impossible to define them. Black can be many things, same as whiter, or Caucasians. I don't see how you've come to the conclusion that i am a moron(which is true and false subjectively), but it is nevertheless interesting.
sinds when the invaders were kings and queens, you fools still want to fool people, and where was the ancient Egypt again?

Middle east invented agriculture not black Africans
When will they stop portraying ancient Egypt as white looking people! This is becoming ridiculous! -,- Ancient Egypt was black and was call Kemet land of black, the statues etc.. are clearly Black! Unless people are blind or acting like. Kemets are BLACK.
Egyptians were not black. They were Levantine/Mediterranean caucasoids. Kemet refers to the black soil, not the color of the Egyptians.
Also, the statues are clearly caucasoid as well.
jadis40 hence why Napoleon shot off the noses to hide those beautiful BLACK noses ??
If you're implying that Napoleon had the Sphinx' nose shot off, you're wrong. That nose had broken off long before Napoleon's time. If I have to bet it's either the early Egyptian Christians or the Muslims because of their intolerance of idolatry.
They weren't black noses. Again, the Egyptians were Levantine/Mediterrenean caucasoids, not negroids.

@@t.k5616 I am from that culture. So what do you mean?
First, my advice is that you educate yourself on the true history of Egyptian and their all their genetics codes. And then come back to have a constructive and respective conversation. If you would you to of course.
@@roamingfulani1598 oh i assumed you were just another american trying to push the whole "modern Egyptians aren't the real descendants of ancient Egyptians". I saw the beginning of the documentary where there were some people looking like modern Egyptians and later on saw what you were talking about. Respect from Greece.✌
@@roamingfulani1598 There are plenty ancient Egyptian descendants still living mostly in southern Egypt ive been there.,THEY AINT CAUCASIAN
now i have a better understanding of where the Abrahamic religion of christianity got the word "Amen" from. Amun = Amen
Born Justice Rule that is technically incorrect.
There are some theories that say it’s possible that it was derived from the name but there are also theories that say it was derived from Sanskrit.
So “Amun = Amen” is factually wrong because it has not been proven as fact.
@@Akitila i guess" the cross" and "Ankh" aren't connected either
Born Justice Rule is the plus sign related to the cross then?
And the reason why the cross became the religious symbol of Christianity is because Christians believed Jesus was crucified on a cross.
Which is totally possible since crucifixion was used as a capital punishment in those times and the structures on which people were crucified resembled crosses.
So yeah, the cross and the ankh, as religious symbols, actually don’t have anything to do with each other.
There are plenty of different languages that have words that sound almost exactly the same. And they could just be coincidence.
The same could be said of the name Amun and the word Amen.
The ancient Egyptian name Amun means “the hidden one” or “invisible”.
While the Hebrew word “Amen” means “so be it”.
They have completely different meanings.
The basic root from which the word “Amen” was derived is common to a number of languages, such as Aramaic, in the Semitic branch of the Afroasiatic languages.
Ancient Egyptian is part of the Afroasiatic languages so that could explain why they sound similar.
But the fact still stands, “Amun” does not equal “Amen”.
@@Akitila nice, i like how you broke that down. you're right the equals sign was to strong of a symbol to use.
Born Justice Rule thanx.
Anyway, I do hope u understand that I meant no offence.
I’m a total ancient history nerd and love studying about it.
I just wanted to point out that it’s possible the name and the word have nothing to do with each other and instead just sound similar because of a common linguistic root.

Oh shut up
The African Americans that were transported mostly from west Africa had no history to cling to so they disparately are trying to claim Egyptians were black.
Egyptians were caucasoids same as today and left arts and writing depicting clear differenes between them and African blacks. Mummies and writing every where in egypt proves the same. Egyptians are not black today or one thousand years ago or 5000 years ago. Historians do not pay attention to afrocentric black maniacs in America because they would claim that the moon was visited by Africans very time soon.
If you have no history then claim one. That is what people that where migrated from west Africa few hundred years ago are thinking today. They have nothing to be proud of historically so they manufactured lies that do not stand a chance in the books of history and archeology. They see every thing in black white or yellow. So if a civilization on the medeterranian that is not built by European master's must be built by blacks..what a non logic
GORO911 how do you know? Kemet is so old when the slaves were in west Africa Kemet was already petty ancient. Slaves weren’t brought to America until the 1500s although some of us were already here. The reason why a lot of black slaves fled to west Africa is because the Romans and other Africans pushed them out of north east Africa which people consider the Middle East. Which is why they are still fighting there till this day. So you can’t say African Americans have no connection when this happened so long ago. We do know we are a gifted people thanks to the most high.
Who are these pale people living in the desert 🤔🤔🤔
The real Egyptians
Caucasian Egyptians, much like the Ones there now, except they had red and Blonde hair and Blue eyes, which the Locals dont have...
Of Course... why would a West African ask...?? they arent involved at all, and arent in the Bible Either, thats the Jewish SlaveMasters Book.... SMH.
Now say Caucasians were only from the Caucass Mountains, like an Idiot...
Africa is named for a Pale Caucasian... Tissue..??
Now Lie again Patheticly... 3...2...1...
Hahaha Idiot Dundu who didnt do research before Mouthing off:
From the Encyclopedia Britanica( British)
Africa was Named for Scipio Africans, after the 2nd Punic war of Hannibal Barqa...
The Name Africa is of African Origins from the Egyptian Word "Afru-ika" or 'Motherland." the Greek spellin of Africanus...The name signifies that the person named himself After Africa, as Motherland of Caucasians. One thing is certain, Greek and Latin have Egyptian linguistic influences although both are Indo-European languages.
How Sad for your Dunghut Dreams, Tissue for the uninformed Pathetic Liar...?
now west African Idiot....
- you are Dismissed... to go do research into the Caucasian Egyptians.
and its Not for you to even open your Covetous lying mouth... SMH.

So funny to see african americans wearing a egyptian cross on their necks, as if they were actually the egyptians. African americans were west african, and didnt have anything to do with north-east africans anyway. These people need to be stopped.

@ what nation are you referring to, Egypt? Similar skin tone? What is this, a joke? How is reddish-brown, and dark brown skintone similar to pale skin,blond hair and blue eyes? Egptians may be a mixture of phenotypes, but blond hair and blue eyes weren't a part of the Nile valley phenotype. Forget your western history class ,open your eyes and see for yourself. They left plenty of evidence painted on the walls of tombs.
@ the British played no part in creating Ancient Nile Valley culture. They only showed up a hundred years ago to marvel at what those ancient Africans had accomplished.

Guys stop with the racist crap...besides Egyptians looked more "white" than "black" for the most part. They were middle eastern in appearance. Did you know that Rameses the Great actually had red hair!!! As well as a hooked nose. Now that's not to say there weren't black folks in Egypt, sure there were! But they weren't the predominant race. And still aren't today. In Egypt that is. And that's ok! It's just were folks are from. Not one "race" is better than another. Quit whining about the portrayals! THIS IS HISTORICALLY ACCURATE! Its there just to teach you what it may have been like. Stop worrying about shit that doesn't even matter. Race doesn't matter!! get off ur sjw soapboxes and realize that, though you don't like it, this is true. u might not like the SKU to be blue and claim it's dark green, but that doesn't change the fact that the sky is blue. get over it . Damn.
@Kessa R pathetic snowflake
@Kessa R honey, they learned this from his mummy. And they wore wigs and shaved their heads back in ancient Egypt which is why it's depicted as such. How about you learn then get back to me.
@Kessa R aahahaha nope. WE GOT ANOTHER SKY IS DARK GREEN OVER HERE!!
uh oh! UH OH!! STRAWMAN ALERT!!! STRAWMAN ALERT!!! . NO ONE! is saying that at all. NO ONE is claiming that. and the people who DO usually DO have native or African blood. just cuz they look white doesnt mean they dont share the blood. Youre being racist because your judging people based purely on their skin. In any case, What WE ARE saying is that Ancient Egyptians were more MIDDLE EASTERN than SAHARAN! man you have no argument. and you are a racist jerk.
first of all, you can NOT generalize the evidence.
Ancient egypt has a long history that spanned thousands of years, and attracted thousands and perhaps millions of migrant workers and invaders. so take any piece of evidence with the a grain salt, since they're not Representative of entire population of ancient egypt
Who are all those white people dressed up as Egyptians? 😂😂😂

@@CollectiveMedia yes but thus came much later on, see egypts history is very very long. Before the greeks or romans came in, egypt was already thriving. Also if by "black" he means brown, then yes many of them were dark to light brown before inter-mixing it only makes scientific sense😉.
@@CollectiveMedia yes but egypt civilization is much much older than this.
