Cheikh Anta Diop African Origin of Civilization (c) 2010 Rey Ty

@crowpleaaza your totally dont know wat u talkin bout all those civilizations come from africans homie africans migrated all over the globe an set up civilizations Dr Ben been prooved that and john henri clarke and they still find african bones further inland in asia an so forth... You dead wrong meso u trippin hahaha

[CrowdPleeza]

Actually civilization's origins start in western Asia and not Africa/Egypt. Most historians and archeologist would say that the Mesopotamia culture(Sumerians) of modern day Iraq developed the first civilization. Also recently in Iran there has been discovered the Jiroft culture which may be older than Mesopotamia so it looks like western Asia is where the first civilizations actually began.

[reyty2]

@CrowdPleeza I leave the theorizing to the experts. Thanks for your comments.

[RAWDEAL70]

@CrowdPleeza its always funny when someone with no factual information to back up false claims. I suggest if your truth holds any weight I would like to see facts. Meaning show me 6 different sets of all human skeletons in existence such as the ones found in say Africa. Also explain how white pigmentation turned black; since we have known for quite sometime, its impossible to get black pigmentation from white skin then explain the time difference between race evoloution just to start?

[RAWDEAL70]

@CrowdPleeza African were here over more than 10,000 years before anyone else was on the scene. The first dynasties were African and many travelled the globe long before Asia as we know it ever existed. But humor me grab the books They came before columbus or read Nile Valley contributions to Civilization I say if you can provide factual data to overide the science we already know and has been used to gain historical factuality. Explain ancient African Almec heads found on almost every continent

[NoIMnotIndian]

is there any arguments against Cheikh Anta Diop's Book: Africa Origin of Civilisation. I'm doing a paper and I need one criticism of his book. Possibl eurocentric.

[reyty2]

@NoIMnotIndian Sorry, I don't know, as I only read his original book. I'm sure there are arguments against him. Search academic journals. Best of luck.

[CrowdPleeza]

@NoIMnotIndian

One criticsm of Diop is that when trying to link several west Africans to Egypt through language he didn't take into account the different linguistic families that their languages belonged to. Most west Africans speak Niger-Congo languages and the Egyptians spoke an Afro-Asiatic language. So linguisticlly most west Africans aren't as connected to Egypt as Diop made them out to be.

[amasonga]

@NoIMnotIndian While Che was alive there were very few Euroecentric who could truly argue with Diop.

[SupremelyMikey]

Does anyone know the "11 categories of proof" or the "10 arguments of truth" that Cheikh Anta Diop mentioned at some point? This is a question for my African American Studies class.

[firefox8192]

I HAVE READ THIS BOOK AT LEAST 6 TILMES EACH TIME IF FINISH IT I GIVE IT AWAY IN HONOR OF DIOP AND BUY ANOTHER.

[amor60643rezurektd]

@Jimmyretired Now we don't want to start calling "races" THIEVES? LMBAO!!!!! Silly loser

[BedRoomGangster]

I'm just happy to know my history. Especially when some people say you don't have one.

We will never forget your work and what a treasure you gave us Anta Diop. Your work is still to be credited by generation of Africans to come. Those who have always manipulated our history did everything to wipe away the blackness but blacks are just too unique.

Even in the eyes of the truth some people just can't face it, that Africans are the Masters of the pyramid, the sleeping Lion.

[Toltecnology]

Fantastic!

Thank you for doing this I am on page 353

[reyty2]

@bioarcheology Hello, Robert Hotep: Best wishes to you. Rey

[eemc2203]

black and white is a ridiculous Western obsession.

for me and most the Middle Eastern Christians and Muslims, the color of the skin is a trivial issue. Personally, I meet black slaves living in Egypt and , the black Nubian were considered the most honest people in Egypt.

The West is obsessed with race, the East with religion, and both are nonsense. set

[reyty2]

@eemc2203 why did you make a statement that "black and while is a ridiculous Western obsession"? I beg to disagree that "the color of the skin is a trivial issue," especially as, historically & up to the present, people, as a statement of fact, suffered discrimination, were enslaved, were lynched, or killed by virtue of their skin color.

[EandA23]

It is simple they don't want Egyptians to be black because it may mean there is smart black civilizations. what the white people forgot is that Nubia was just as good and even blacker lmao. there is 223 pyramids in Nubia (Sudan) today

[reyty2]

@EandA23 You are right.

[Gulfporter]

@EandA23

Yeah, you never know when you might need a pyramid. They sure have come in handy.

[1hvn]

people always wanna link thereselves to Egypt. instead of talkin that shit why dont u do some research and prove it. these men have studied for years to prove what they're saying.

it's almost as if the world is saying "anybody but black people".

i swear there's some being hidden that these scholars are getting close to.

that's why it ruffles everyones feathers

[eemc2203]

The Egyptians of today are the direct descendant of ancient Egyptians- especially the Ancient Coptic Christian community. Unfortunately, some of the Egyptian Muslims deny their relationship to the ancient land; with very little scientific or logical reasons.



[reyty2]

@eemc2203 Thanks for your comments. Best wishes. 

[thalategreat]

@eemc2203: I can see this must be hard for you to accept as I would expect if ur a white person, if u notice ur the only one who commented several times in a row on this video..which means the truth hurts u, in light of the fact that the so called ancient"egyptians" were nothing more than afrikan people, evidence is on the papyrus drawings as well as inscribed in their heiroglyphics, I mean hell geographically speaking Egypt is located in North Africa, but they were not black lol? Wow...

[eemc2203]

@thalategreat sorry to disappoint you.

Fact, they are NOT black despite your clear frustrations.

Well, they are not as white as Scandinavians, if that what you mean.

Look at the Christian Copts of Egypt and decide for yourself-they are the direct descendant of ancient Egypt.

Culturally speaking, Western civilization has it root in Egyptian and Sumerian civilization.

Most of Africa was isolated from North Africa-the later became part of Roman and Byzantine world.

I am considered black

[thalategreat]

@eemc2203 My dad once told me don't argue with a fool bcuz anyone who hears it won't know be able to tell who's the fool..so this is my last statement, I'm not doing the back&forth thing, Egypt's civilization and antiquities sprung 1st out of Kush(ethiopia) and settled in the land Kemet(which by the way means LAND OF THE BLACKS) in North Africa! Once the greeks&romans had acquired the land, they named it Aegyptus=Egypt, Africa was never seperated from North Africa, its a continent all 2gether..

[kredd77]

@eemc2203 you really need to read and study more.

[eemc2203]

@thalategreat your dad is wise.

[tblack1627]

@eemc2203 NOT exactly. Just as Americans now are comprised mostly of invaders (Europeans) and those who involuntary came (Africans). Egypt now is primarily composed of the Arab invaders. Ancient Egypt was full of Black Africans just as America was once made up of Native Americans before European genocide.

[eemc2203]

@tblack1627 The Coptic Christians are member of the ancient Orthodox Churches. They are direct descendant of the ancient Egyptians. Their Coptic Language is the same language as the ancient Egyptians. The Arabs of Arabia are mixed of Africans, and Asians race. the Native Arabs have very dark skins like Africans. The Assyrians are the descendant of the ancient Assyrian civilization. Islamic-Arabic invasion of the middle East of the 7 century is new to the Middle East.

[eemc2203]

this is ridicules and simplistic description of history in one dimension-race.

Egyptians were not black- I am one

[reyty2]

@eemc2203 I only have direct quotations from the translator, commentaries, & Diop. None of the ideas are mine. Diop is not referring to Egyptians today. See his discussions and photos of historical artifacts. Which of Diop's points are ridiculous? Why?
