@philosophysicallyhot It will be interesting for you to know that many Pharaohs especially towards the end of the Egyptian empire were barely of Egyptian descent, many of them foreign. Cleopatra was of Greek descent, the Greeks took over the Egyptian Empire and a Greek was made Pharoah (Cleopatra's ancestor). Tutankhamon, there are still many mysteries surrounding him...

The Somalis still dance like those Ancient-Egyptians . In the collapse of the Egyptian Empire , more than 200 thousands Egyptians migrated in the south of Egypt in the North/East Africa according to the greek historian Diodorus of Sicily . The Egyptian culture was preserved in the horn of Africa , just visit it !

was at least 25,000 years old because of the technology and the level of sophistication in the knowledge of Astronomy, which takes thousands of years to track stars and make the first calender.

@philosophysicallyhot It is not rare to have foreigners rulinng a land that is not theirs, be it ancestral or not, Europe is a great example, the Hapsburg (multi-national European rulers), Spain even had a few Kings who were not even born in Spain at all or grew up there etc... ex: French Prince and later King ofSpain Phillip V. Egypt was no exception

To many years ago people from the north-west invaded that part of Africa and made it their own.Egyptians were a swarthy complexion race, nowhere near black.The Aficians prefered to live in huts where as the Egyptians built much more advanced living abode.

more then other races that are older then your people. This is not racism it is the truth. There are 2 mountains in Africa that are called "Mountain of the Moon". First, is Mount Kilimanjaro between Tanzania and Kenya and the second one is Mount Ruwenzori between Uganda and the Democratic Republic Of The Congo, these are the areas that the ancient Egyptians said they came from following ether the Blue Nile or the White Nile going towards their present location in northeast Africa.

What about Gobekli Tepe ? they were before the pyramids and those builders were not Black Nubians.....Ma'at was established for peoples of ALL COLORS not just Black Nubians....Black people are defiantly Gods choosen people in TODAYS times....its pointless to argue about the past my brother

I am sorry , this video does not show the true ancient-egyptians who were africans according to the ancient-egyptians . The europeans and asiatics invaded Egypt in the last times of Kingdom ! But the ancient-egyptians proved that they were from the land of Pount , East Africa ,the region ,of Somalia and Djibouti and Ethiopia now, you can find the folk and the music of the pharaohs still preserved in somali folk ! History said that Egypt learnt the music to the greeks and romans !

The sons of Ham... KHEMET later to the Greeks as Eygpt. We should celebrate all cultures but it's pretty sad to try to steal from them. When the truth of history is denied all thats left is division, hate and intire generations beliving that white's created everything. Europeans please tell the truth about your history, you indeed invaded Eygpt but all means did NOT establish or flourish Eygpt. They belong to the people who are now in Ethiopia and Sudan and other parts of African regions when they went into exile. A beautiful black race of people that deserve their history to be kept JUST LIKE EVER ONE ELSE.

Egyptians were white and tan. DNA proves this, end of the story. Look at modern Egyptians anyways, and don't tell me they look arabic, I'm Lebanese and can differenciate between an Egyptian and other middle eastern race from miles away, because of how different they look.

You take yourself hurtfully serious. Please, get well soon. I mean that in a positive way. If you believe youre above the human race and its historic or present dynamics, look deeply into your own personal words. Shame on any retribution, for its a mirror of dynamics of that which you conveniently condemn. There isnt anyone as pure as you imply as yourself. Before any resolve there is always struggle. Never before in the worlds history are we at an advantage to correct. This includes those who are self righteous in the condescension towards others. May we all get well soon.

@designerhell to borrow is to take or obtain with the promise to return the same or the equivalent. To steal is to take (the property of another or others) without permission or right, especially secretly or by force. Now just looking at the meaning of each word and applying it to historical fact. You most definitely stolen and continue to steel and defile a beautiful land that has absolutely nothing to do with your people and your nations. And in fact is and will always be a discretion of a land and a people. And it is not limited to the nubian people of Egypt but the people of America. Just because you kill people and squat in there land does not make it right nor make you good people either. It only further proves your injust behavior toward a people on a large scale. If you are truly "borrowing" then return what you have acquired across the board with exactly what you have stolen or with something of equal or greater value. Otherwise it is theft! And according to your own laws throughout history is punishable by cutting off the hands, caning, physical labor, or death depending on how bad the crime was.And in this case it is the worst or the worst. And by looking at the history of your people and their behavior judging solely on facts, it is easy to say you are theves. Nothing more and nothing less. Well I take that back. You are ruthless lying and killing theves and nothing more. SHAMEFULLY SO!
