  • So are European archeologist afraid to excavate these tombs and do the dna test on them to connect the dots that KMT was a colony Kush until the northern kingdoms got arrogant and succeeded and taken over by arab invaders!

  • This documentary is incorrect and typically eurocentric.

    Kush did not adopt pharaonic civilisation from Egypt. Evidence came about during excavations in 1962 that Nile civlisation first emerged from the south of the Nile which later adopted by the Ancient egyptians. Pharaonic civilisation in both Kush and Egypt ran parralel to each other for thousands of years.

    This explains how the nubians were able to restore Egypt i.e. the 25th dynasty after it had gone into a period of decline .

  • @rbvmtr i know more greek nad hindu miths lol

  • interesting how where the most advanced places in that area are now all deserts, there is no way a desert can sustain a city without massive trading to outside areas, unless it wasnt a desert then. So where is the evidence and who did they trade with, or how in the hell did it all go so wasteland-esque

  • @d3adp001 Since there wasn't any knowlege of how to take care of land, there were alot of soil erosion during high winds and flooding. Also, farming the land to death didn't help either (there goes that lack of knowlege again).

  • @srotagadirolf I am sorry, but for any people to have lived there as long as they did they knew how to sustain the land, better than we apparently do know. They could build cities, move and cut rocks we would have problems, or flat out could do today, and yet they couldnt understand how to feed themselves. If that was the case they wouldnt have ever became a large society.

    Maybe, but I am not buying into the ignorant ancients theories.

  • @d3adp001 At one time, that whole area (including israel, lebanon, etc) was fertile ground. I can't quote any bible verses, but it does talk about what was grown there, and how fertile it was. Topsoil erosion is what destroyed the area.

  • @srotagadirolf eroded to where, this is a guess you give, no evidence, nor histical data. sorry but your guessing

  • @d3adp001 Oh really? lol, I'm guessing....Lemme break it down for you; this is off a website about ancient Egypt. You be your own google monkey. The Nile was also crucial for farming because it left a layer of nutrient-bearing silt when the waters of the annual inundation receded, and it also provided water for irrigation. Those gardens located around villages and country houses of the wealthy had to be watered regularly because of their location above the reach of the Nile's

  • @srotagadirolf Look beyond the Nile smart guy, my question is lost on your limited view.

  • @d3adp001 nile is an only stripe of green land surrounded by desert.once a green land deserted the wind move sand to cover it and by time it became what you see.

  • @seedo201 i live by a desert, they dont do what your saying. in addition, where is the writen r verbal record of this occurance. sorry but that doesnt explain it to me

  • @d3adp001 it's just a an estimation bec. there is a places in egypt happened to it by ages and even Egypt once had a a plain to stop the desert from covering more land . bec. many lands had that in the time of the time of ottoman empire cause they didnt care about cultivation in egypt in the 18th century. may be the kind of the sand in USA is not so smooth as we had here.

  • @seedo201 The sand we have here is very very fine, much finer than beach sand, measured in microns. but whatever. good try.

  • king kush! lol!

  • great vid, shame about the unnecessary music half way through it, someone at BBC's been on the coke.

  • interesting
