Egypt's golden empire : The Last Great Pharaoh 3/9

[elmciti]

alot is exaggerated, obviously...

[zecxixo]

Who the fuck disliked it? fuck! The dumbest ever!

[MsAsiangirl89]

sweet, he didn't care bout the ppl who died in the war for him :(

[Kenzofeis]

@MsAsiangirl89 Most leaders don't care about that. Most people are fools and believe the opposite. Some cheap bling-bling and propaganda helps fool people again and again.

[MsAsiangirl89]

@Kenzofeis Yea tht is soo bad. Life is more important than stuff. It's such a sad story.

[lafucil]

LMAO...if this story doesn't prove the Egyptians were black I don't know what will. Ask any black man about a fight he was in and you will get a similar account.

wow...what a little liar..unstoppable force yeah right...thats code for i got whipped like a little school boy.HE CHARGED,AND KILLED THEM WHERE THEY STOOD..one person "DESTROYING AN ARMY" wow lol

[efun08]

wow...what a little liar..

[TheKsk1997]

If Ramses wasn't so strong, he wouldn't have warranted a submission letter from the Hittite king admitting that Egyptians and Hittites were now 'brothers' .. Also he had defeated the Sherden people ..

[flubno]

If Ramese had red hair, that means he was probaly a white dude. Only white people have red hair. In order to have red hair , you basicly have to be almost an albino, realy fair skinned.

[AemiliaPaulla]

@flubno Ever heard of dye?

[flubno]

@AemiliaPaulla that's possible but his hair was also straight, no Afro going on.

[AemiliaPaulla]

@flubno Indian people also have straight, glossy hair and the older folks use henna to hide the gray hairs. Now, many Indians ARE, anthropologically speaking, Caucasoids, but there's a vast gray area between being a Caucasoid and being "white"... you make Rameses sound almost like an Irishman!

[flubno]

@AemiliaPaulla yeah, good point

[amor60643]

@nichoii u r a dumb ass! Negroland I bet that made u laugh, were do u get your info let's see your "scholarly" info! Question can you survive in napata with no sunscreen the same way so many pharaohs did? O the word negro is a latin word not egyptian nor greek for that matter. The closest thing to caucasian then were the hitties and the assyrian. And no african ppls ever lived in caves SORRY only caucasians did that

[leebone98]

History is written by the victor huh?

[HistoryLover1550]

@leebone98 It usually is, in many cases.

[NECHOII]

Continued.....language calling the Negoes GIBBERERS !

At the Semna Fortress by the Nile, King Senusret III writes : " Behold ! These people ( the Negroes ) have nothing frightening about them.; they are feeble and insignificant ; they have buttocks for hearts. I have seen it, even I the Majesty, it is no lie."

The ancient Greeks and Romans called all people south of Egypt as Ethiopians which means "burnt bronzed people." They NEVER called the Egyptians that.

[NECHOII]

@drav1dan:

In ancient Egyptian art, male Egyptians are painted RED to reflect the fact that they worked out in the sun much of the day while Egyptian women were painted as white women.

King Pepi I ( 2289 B.C. - 2255 B.C. ) banned black people from entering temples

Inscription of Sihathor, Assistant Treasurer to King Senwosret III ( 1978 B.C. - 1941 B.C. ) : " I reached Nubia of the Negroes....I forced the Nubian chiefs to wash gold."

Egyptians mocked the Nubian

[MysticNinjaJay]

LOL! Quite polluting Youtube with your racist garbage. The Ancient Egyptians depicted themselves uniformly as BROWN in contrast to white-skinned Libyans, yellow-skinned Asiatics and black-skinned Nubians (who were sometimes also painted brown). The women in earlier periods had yellow-skin probably to contrast genders but during later periods they painted BOTH genders as brown. Don't forget their Afros, African style braids and Africoid features in the paintings.

Youtube: Truth Egypt Tombs

[NECHOII]

Continued... south of Egypt had.

[NECHOII]

@dravi1dan :

The ancient Egyptians were very racist towards black people calling them TROGLODYTES which means "cave dwellers".  They called all land south of Egypt as NEGROLAND.

Egyptians wrote that Negroes were lazy, stupid, rapists, cattle rusltlers, untrustworthy, among other insults.

Egyptians were in general SLIM HIPPED with broad shoulders, oval faces and long straight noses.. The women hardly ever got fat and had no tendency to have large fat bums like black women

[drav1dan]

@NECHOII: Egyptians were slim hipped, broad shouldered...never fat??? That is the silliest thing I have heard. Egyptians always made stylized drawings & sculptures of themselves (except during Akhenaten's reign). U cannot say how they actually looked from that. They depicted Egyptians with brown skins in their drawings. How come u ignored that? U r prolly wearing ur swastika armband as a headband & it cut off blood to ur brains.

BTW, there r lots of fat, white, Aryan women with large butts.

[MysticNinjaJay]

This idea of racist Egyptians is just some mistranslations and distortions of text you probably got off of Arthir Kemp's White-History page. It's garbage. This translations have no credibility. The Ancient Egyptians had enemies on all sides and denigrated all of them. They themselves were a Black African people.

[mattboy88]

@NECHOII Egyptians slimm hipped with broad shoulders..?

That's because their art is two-dimensional.. They didn't actually look like that.You don't hear me claim that all Egyptians were cyclops, just because you see one eye on their face...

Umm.. As for the rest, the Egyptians were definitely black people. There is much more variation in the black race than in any other. Go to Ethiopia and you will see what I mean.

[niclasjt]

@mattboy88 I get that you're trying to talk some sense into someone with a racially intolerant pet-theory to push, but there's no reason to think the ancient Egyptians were anything different than what they are today: a people living at one of the world's great crossroads. The problem arises precisely when we try to decide whether they were white or black, because as a people they were neither, and as individuals they were probably both. Egyptians are Middle-eastern, African, and Mediterranean.

[mattboy88]

@niclasjt In my opinion I would class the original Egyptians under the category of the black race. Why? Because the black race is the most varied race on Earth. I am talking about outward appearance as well as genetics. This is completely in line with the theory that the other races are just an offshoot of black tribes that emigrated across the Arab peninsula. If you doubt anything of what has been stated, you can research it for yourself.

[niclasjt]

@mattboy88 What informs your decision? CT scans of Tut's head suggest a North African ethnicity. Although there were Kushite pharaohs, these dynasties were regarded by the egyptians as originating outside of Egypt proper. So we've got an Egypt that looks an awful lot like the Egypt of today, a North African people who mark themselves as different from their neighbors north and south. Would you class modern Egyptians as black racially? How about the Syrians? Where does one race end and one begin?

[mattboy88]

@niclasjt Well, I see agreeing on definitions is the biggest challenge for mankind. We shouldn't bash labelling, though. It helps us to organize our knowledge. To cut things short, there are two reasons why I would label Egyptians as black. Firstly, Egyptians were/are geograpically located in Africa. Secondly, the Ancient Egyptians had a myth that told of their origin. According to that myth, they were originally from the south, from a land called Punt.

[mattboy88]

@niclasjt I recall reading somewhere, that one pharao (I think it was Hatshepshut, I'm not sure) once gave the order for an expedition to their original homeland (Punt). The reason why I think Ancient Egyptians were not that "black" anymore, is because of the invasion of the Hyksos and a long history of settlers from Asia. In my opinion, it's useless to describe a race through marking genes. The only thing that would help us is geography, however artificial of a criterium that is.

[mattboy88]

@niclasjt I say Asian (Mesopotamia) settlers, because they were attracted to the stability that Ancient Egypt offered for most of its history. I'm contrasting this to the almost unbroken warmongering in Mesopotamia. The Ancient Egyptians were masters of their own backyard, in general. By the way, I wasn't pointing to massive post-ancient era immigration. I was pointing to a steady, ancient era migration from (mostly traders). There had already been contact from the very first dynasty.

[niclasjt]

@mattboy88 So that's my point. Genetics can't tell us where race begins or ends. It tells us migrational heritage. The further from the center-east of Africa you go, the less phenotypic diversity you find - meaning Egyptians were always less African than, say Nubians, but more African than Assyrian tribes. Racial definiton has no measurable value outside of relative "blackness." So if you think they were "blacker" than modern Egyptians, you think massive post-ancient era immigration into Egypt?

[mattboy88]

@niclasjt Besides, we must not forget the chapters of Alexander, the Roman Empire and Islam in the history of Egypt. There was a significant influx of Greeks, Romans (multi-ethnic themselves) and loads of Arab and Persian settlers during the first few centuries of Islam. One can still see the difference between an Egyptian from a city in the Nile Delta and that of a village deep in Upper Egypt, where, I personally believe, the original character of the Egyptians has been quite preserved.

[niclasjt]

@mattboy88 As far as geography determining race, I'll call your attention to the Berbers, Libyans, and Algerians, who, although living in Africa, would probably not define themselves as "black" peoples. Secondly, and here I acknowledge your point on immigration, there is no reason to believe that there was not a consistent migratory influx from the south during those same centuries.

[mattboy88]

@niclasjt Well, it's not so hard to imagine the Germanic tribes that invaded the remnants of the Roman Empire. The Vandals went all the way to Africa. I would classify the Berbers, Libyans and Algerians as "mixed" (either with Arabs or with Roman colonists). Not that there is much sense to classifying races in the modern world, but it gives us a workable system for nations in antiquity. If my point is ignored, well, just look at those old Hollywood blockbusters. Every one is as white as snow.

[mattboy88]

@niclasjt By the way, if we talk about the early history of Ancient Egypt, I don't think the level of migratoy influx from the south would be comparable to that from the east. Simply put, the Ancient Egyptians and the Mesopotamian peoples had completely different societies from that of "Nubia". "Nubians" were not accustomed to an urban, agricultural lifestyle. Ancient Egypt guarded the upper cataracts from any "Nubian" invasion. Nubia= trade (ivory, gold, slaves etc..)

[niclasjt]

@mattboy88 Nubians were routinely admitted (one might argue forced) into Egyptian armies, and at certain times Nubia itself fell under control of the Egyptian polity, a people always regarded by the Egyptians as exogenous. So Egypt always was, as perhaps the United States is today, a multi-ethnic nation. Indeed, Cleopatra herself was at least half-greek. So "black" is just too divisively rigid, and too modern, a construct for the number of shades that constituted Egypt.

[mattboy88]

@niclasjt I agree with you on certain parts, but where the United States is a mosaic of nationalities, perhaps we can even say races; Ancient Egypt is in my eyes part of the continuum between "black Africa" and the Semitic Middle-East. However, for the sake of simplicity, I would classify the Ancient Egyptians as "black", because they shared a lot of cultural similaritieswith them. Where did you read Cleopatra was at least half-greek? According to my sources, she was fully Macedonian.

[niclasjt]

@mattboy88 My worry is the political aspect to this argument. The shame is that ultimately, our efforts at re-empowering historically marginalized peoples, who we long ago lumped together as simply "black", by asserting their ascendence in certain likely mixed-heritage empires, just plays into the same dialectic of race conflict. For example, long ago Italians were not considered strictly 'white'. They became so only in segregated countries to profer privaledged status.

[mattboy88]

@niclasjt Well, it's all a matter of perspective if you'd label a people such as Italians as "white". They speak an Indo-European language, are viewed as the father of modern European civilization (in reference to the Roman Empire), yet they have a long history of immigration and emigration that would mark them "mixed" at least. Hitler certainly did not view Italians as "whites". I doubt the WASP's consider Italians to be "white" as well.

[niclasjt]

@mattboy88 We set a division, whereby certain shades darker than this arbitrary color became 'black'; shades ligher 'white'. It seems far more constructive to me to simply abandon the system of that historical oppression, considering cultural historical divisions. Value-systems, morality, religion, locality, these are the things that define societies. Egyptians were always too close to the dividing shade, and there were powerful southern African kingdoms we've forgotten and should champion.

[mattboy88]

@niclasjt Here, I agree with you, but I would like to point out something very important. The Ancient Greeks of the Classical Age actually "stole" a lot of kowledge from the Ancient Egyptians, while presenting it as theirs. The Ancient Egyptians have had a direct impact on Western civilization, whereas those to the south had only local importance. This is not to say that shey should not be studied. It was just to prove that the Ancient Egyptians are more relevant to us.

[NECHOII]

@drav1dan :

The ancient Egyptians, Sumerians and Babylonians were a Mediterranean white race while the Indus Indians were of a brown race.

[dwolfe71]

Bullshit!! All were brown and black AKA black!!!

[NECHOII]

@drav1dan :

The ancient Chinese were a yellow race and the Aztecs and Mayans were a red race. We must always give credit where credit is due.

Pharaoh Ramses II had naturat red hair which he dyed red with henna after his hair turned grey.

The Egyptian word for black people is NEHESU which translates into Negro in English.

[drav1dan]

@NECHOII :

You want to give credit where it is due. So let us do that: the Egyptians, Sumerians, Babylonians & Indus Valley Indians were brown races, not white.

[dwolfe71]

no it is Kemenou!!!!!!!!!!!! You are full of shit talking that Kemet was white give me a break!!!!!

[YoungCheeseTV]

You Gotta Be Jokein Just Because Blacks Call Blacks Names it Do not mean they are separate i had fights and call other blacks names wow what does that really mean we are the same dont let conflict separate a race its crazy. And Kemet Could Never B Founded Or Built By Whites Thats Incorrect And Unsupported They Came from the south. The sun played no part in there blackness cmon so they were white but turn black from the sun, then they skin will b burnt! theres no record of that Anywhere. BLACK

[NECHOII]

The ancient Egyptians were a Mediterranean white race. Pharaoh Ramses II himself had NATURAL RED HAIR as this documentary CORRECTLY points out. The Egyptians really looked down on black people calling them racist names like TROGLODYTES ( cave dwellers ) and GIBBERERS among other insults The Egyptians called all land south of Egypt by the generic name of NEGROLAND. The Egyptians called black people NHSJ or NEHESU which translates into English as  NEGRO.

[drav1dan]

@NECHOII: And it was not just the ancient Egyptians who were white. The ancient Sumerians, Babylonians, Indians of the Indus Valley, Chinese, Mayans, Incas, Aztecs were all white. In fact, if anyone anywhere in the universe has ever done anything remarkable, we should claim they were white.

Ramses' red hair was from herbs like henna, but facts are irrelevant; racial pride is everything.

Btw, 'negro' comes from the Latin word for the color black, not from ancient Egyptian.

[dwolfe71]

Both of yall are full of shit......Kemet , nubia, ethiopia all the same according to the greeks!!!!!!!!!! Why you guy wanna change black into white!!!!!!!!!!!!

[YoungCheeseTV]

Ok The People On The Statues Are Black The People On The Temple Walls Carved In Stone Are Black But In This Documentary They Look More Arabian All The Black Africans In This World They Couldn't Find Any To Play The Roles Of There Ancient Ancestors. Im Available

[cvgf08]

the skin color doesnt mean that they were black.. egypt is a hot place n in those days they didnt have sunblock of uv proction stuff..so they might have had a REALLY nice tan.. also notice that the statues DOESNOT have african or black fetures, like their noise is pointy like euro people... not african.. also the body structure is different

[dwolfe71]

Nice tan my ass!!!! If they were white they would have died of skin lesions and cancer etc. These were black blue black people in the beginning that slowly mixed with invaders to get your present day white / arab Kemet. You know no history!!

[cvgf08]

Ok thank you for the lecture, maybe "I don't know" as much of history as you claim to say. Perhaps you should go lecture that at the University of Chicago or Harvard University, where PhDs would love to argue with you about that. And I believe you meant to say at the end "you don't know any history". Check your grammar please.

[inyourface522]

Great :)

[amlakwadada]

the egyptian reinforcement was the nubians i quess their just scared to say nubians-these white devils make my belly turn over with their bullshit.we all no the ancient egyptians and nubians always fought side by side to fight off the asiactic invaders.but they always show u the ppl in these films as white arabs.they really think ppl are stupid.all the statutes are black african native warriors with braids dreadlocks and afros but the actors are white.lol

[crazymido1]

@amlakwadada so what are you trying to say?????do you mean that the pharoas arent egyption or what??????

[cookiemonsterog]

Why when the pharaohs and armies are black, they don't show them? This is totally intentional.

[kartmankai]

The pharaohs werent black. Egyptians arent black. The Nubian part of the army was black, and you do see that in this documentary.
