@LordClaremorris You say we?? whos we? Are you anthropologist because eyeball anthropology is going to get you no where. The history of sumeria and egypt shows that there were established trade relations between them! Tell me something i dont already know, of course semitic languages are close to Afroasistic, because there part semitic!! My point is egypt is and will always be and african civilization point blank. Dont nordize egypt to make white people happy. Be true to history.
@GrandeSalvatore96 Dude you better take another look at Ramses lol. He had dark brown skin and as for his hair it was never actually shown in his depictions! East africans to this day still dye there hair orange with henna, that being said i need not explain how the mummification process damages an changes hair color over time. If you are trying to be eurocentric and a Nordic bastard you can take your shit somewhere else. Im getting tired of debunking people left and right about this subject!
@aznien9 Okay, I'm Phoenician asshole, alright, I know a lot of other Phoenicians that are blond and blue eyed but darker skinned. I'm going to go with the proof I see, not what someone tells me on youtube. I wasn't asking for your opinion I'm sharing my view not trying to push my beliefs onto you. Merry Christmas.
@GrandeSalvatore96 Woow!! your an idiot haha!! Did you just say you were a phoenician?? You do realize that in this day in age theres no such thing as a Phoenician dumbass. Carthage and Phoenicia ended along time ago lol. I suppose if that were the case Syrians are still Hittites in some aspect lol, and Iranians are Persians, even though neither empire still exist. Were you born dumb or raised dumb? ROFL!! Thats the funniest shit ive hard in awhile. Im indian so i guess that makes me indus lol!
@GrandeSalvatore96 First off if you were a Phoenician your basically saying your a north african. Second its "Blonde" not blond dumbass! Lol you forget there has been invasion in north africa over several different historical periods greece, rome, arabia muslims, and persian, most north african inhabitants are berber and arabs and are partial mixed africans so you dont really make a point not having good ethnic knowledge of the geographical location! Phoenicians are closely related to egyptians.
@GrandeSalvatore96 My point being that historically the egyptians were africans to begin with, and there society changed over time into mixed cosmopolitan society. Same with Cartheginians and Phoenicians which is the same civilization. So merry christmas to you faggot! Learn some damn history before opening your mouth and sounding obviously ignorant. Your not a damn phoenician idiot no one is really, unless you have some autosomal dna blood work to verify your claim! ROFL!! XD
@TheHKY09 Sumerian isn't Afro-Asiatic at all. Neither is Nubian, so, lolwut? Similar to Egyptian? Egyptian's relatives are like Amharic, Arabic, Hebrew, Punic, Aramaic, Akkadian. Not Sumerian or Nubian.
Sorry, I dont know how to read cuneiform or speak sumerian, so I am only basing that off infomation I have (possibly mis)heard, I partly drew to this conclusion myself, considering Egypt's proximity to Sumer, and, some words ARE similar. (notice the word SIMILAR, not same)
The Sumerians and Egyptians share a (very) small number of words, if only different by the placement in a spoken sentence.
Can we please take this somewhere else where there isnt a character limit?
@TheHKY09 I don't know much about Sumerian myself. My knowledge of Hamitic-Semitic Languages is not very great.

@TheHKY09 you are hella dumb! Go get educated you piece of shit! Egyptian language clusters with other Hamitic-Semitic languages which are classified as Afroasiatic dumbass!

@LordClaremorris Egypt and Sumerian language is similiar because there civilization traded in the past which means language as well. However egyptian language is Afroasiatic and sumerian today would be Semitic.
@aznien9 Mutual trading of terms does not alter the classification of a language. English is Germanic even though it has borrowed a lot of terms from Latin and Greek. Sumerian doesn't exist anymore, and it was not Semitic. As Semitic is in fact related to Afro-Asiatic, being a sub-branch of the latter. Sumerian is not related to any language as far as we know. It was not anything like Akkadian which we know because we've seen both languages side by side.
@CrocoDuck420 he said : hi am ramsees the god i am a true legend for egypt the father of all nations i dont know did they made him so EGO hes not like that at all
Ramesses II was black not Arab. WTH is this shit. People need to start using there brains Egypt wasnt full Arabs during ancient times. Just because we currently see a lot bullshit in world doesnt mean it was always like that. This game didn't even mention the Native Americans I mean damn they had a whole continent to themselves before the Europeans came and fucked that up.
@Jamez8888 If you hate Europeans so much why do you live in a country founded by Europeans? I say this not because of racist reasons but go back to Africa for a few days and se how you like it there compared to the countries "Europeans fucked up". I am non-Muslim Iranian but you don't see me whining about how the Arabs and Islam ruined everything, that's history, let it go
@MrDiem2 I dont hate them , I just hate their ego. My dad been to Africa and he told me whats it is like in Egypt. Africa is beautiful. They dont show the good things about Africa on TV their are actually very wealthy blacks in Africa. But all we see are poor Africans on TV. Egypt wasnt even the original name of the country thats just a European term it was originally called the black land they changed it when the Arabs invaded.
@Jamez8888 Your a fucking dumbass. Egypt was ruled and unified by africans, so get your shit straight douchebag! Im indian and i know this! Africa is a very divers contient and so are its people. Egyptian language is Afroasiatic meaning that the people were africans who spoke and african semitic tongue! Egyptians are africans and they show that on plenty of there murals! stop trying to nordize africa just so you can feel better about yourself bitch! White science is a load crap and bullshit!
@MrDiem2 The reason why its so hard for Europeans and Arabs who Believe that country was once ruled by blacks is because to say that you will have to say that blacks are intelligent and not savage beast that needs to be tam. Read books dont get your information from TV. Go travel the world and ask real Native Egyptians. This topic is bogus just like when Europeans discovered Amercia when in fact there were people called Native Americans who was here before Whites and Blacks.
For all the people saying how much Ramesses sounds Arabic to them: you do realise that ancient Egyptian language and Arabic languages are related, don't you? They are both Semitic languages.
@MrDiem2 You don't get it. I know he speaks Arabic, but Egyptian language and Arabic were very similar sounding inpronunciation, just as Hebrew and Arabic are. That's why Arabic was used.
@Jaahaah That's because the Egyptians weren't Arabs. They were lighter skinned. Not Caucasian white, but whiter. In fact, it's more racist to say that Egyptians are like Arabs.
@inamerica55585 Technically, Arabs count as "white" people, they belong in the Caucasian race, but I get your point, all this black-civilization bullshit about ancient Egypt is just nonsense, the Romans described them as only a wee-bit darker than themselves, what's next, people going to claim the Romans were black as well?
@inamerica55585 They were mediterannean, like south europeans today, some non-arab north africans and middle easterns, kurds and assyrians, often called "the greatest race in history" becuase the createt the most important and succesfull empires in the world, don't listen to all this teutonic superiority bullcrap, italians, spaniards, greeks, kurds (again non-arab, their are so many arabs in the middle east now) and so an are just as white as germans or scandinavians
@lilHippo You ever seen an Egyptian? Have you ever been to Egypt? What do you know about what Egyptians look like? You probably saw Prince of Egypt or something.
@lilHippo DNA tests prove that modern egyptians are 87% genetically identical with their ancient counterparts. Basically meaning that modern egyptians look much the same as ancient egyptians. They are a brown skinned Semitic people, and always have been. We we're never black
stop trying to steal our history just because you have none
@Ironzealot7531 yeah listen to the stuff they want you to hear. the real egyptians are dark skin. the ones who are mixed are lighter. Egypt is on the coast of africa dont let people con you and people say cleopatra was light skin wtf is with that.
@lilHippo yeah, we're dark skinned, but we're not black and we never were. We're an asiatic people who've mixed with black people over the centuries. So we basically look like dark skinned arabs, and that's the way we've always looked as confirmed by DNA.
Rameses II, perhaps the most farmous pharaoh of all time, had red hair. His mummy still has some of that hair. The only black people in egypt are from nubia(modern say Sudan). Stop with the lies already
@IbnJerjer any proof? NO shes from egypt not of greek decsent. when it comes to someone with darkskin people wont let them have anything. people just make shit up. no shes not 100% black shes also greek. you people believe anything you hear or read.
@lilHippo When Alexander the Great died, his generals divided up his territories between themselves. Egypt, which Alexander had conquered away from the Persians, came under the control of Ptolemy I Soter (who was Greek). Cleopatra, as a direct descendent of Ptolemy I and his children, was Greek and a little Thracian.
@lilHippo That's because you darkies have nothing worth taking... Name me one successful civilization (country) today were blacks are the majority, you can't can you, if you can't even build a proper civilization today what chance did you have 3000-4000 years ago? All you blacks do is leech on white civilizations until you bring them down to the point of devastation, it's no wonder that the first pharaoh of Egypt was white and the last was black, and the same thing is happening to the states
@TheHKY09 Welcome to youtube man... And besides, there are NO countries in the world today were the majority of the population are black worth living in. Even in Africa the most developed and best countries to live in are mostly non-black nations like Libya or Tunisia (well maybe not anymore), South Africa went to hell as soon as they abandoned apartheid and the fact that this game only has one primarly black Civ just goes to show that black people are not the greatest when it comes to empires..
@fluffyzhangfei That really doesn't matter, the ancient egyptians could very well have been different from the modern egyptians, look at people living in australia for example, due to migration they are mostly white there, even though the white race originated thousands of miles from there
@MrDiem2 very true but the same sources that state that are also the ones that say the egyptians had mediterranean blood, there's even evidence of them commonly being called "red men" by the nubians and arabs, which is what they called what were the italians and greeks of that time.
@MrDiem2 Blacks onces had the greatest Empire which was in Egypt but just like all good things , it came to end when it fell to just about everybody. Now modern Egypt looks like a Arab world. Every Country in Africa was once ruled by someone black. And you right most of Africa isnt worth living in, but thats according to European standards. Not everybody wear clothes and wigs like white people everybody has there own standard of living. I know Natives Americans who wont use electricity.
@Jamez8888 Yes I know, Blacks conquered Egypt by the 25th Dynasty, but that was after Ramesses time, he was not black, there was a National Geographic issue a couple of years ago about this
@MrDiem2 you should'nt believe everything you see on The National Geographic channel they still trying to get Americans to believe the lie about September 11 2001. It just show you how corrupt our television is. Everything we watch is reviewed then released with information that keep people believing bullshit. Blacks didnt have to conquered anything in Africa because they already had it.
@Jamez8888 Ok first of all, Carthage was not a black civilization by any means (unless you want to lie about that to), so not all of Africa was controlled by black people, 2nd, there has been tonnes of evidence to suggest that Ancient Egypt was a melting pool of races, which is not surprising seeing how it is located just by both Asia and Africa
@MrDiem2 the only interracial thing about those times was the fact that sometimes kings will marry other races such as the east Indians to keep peace between the two empires it was a way to keep peace. They is evidence that you should try looking up where Ancient Egyptians describe themselves as blacks and others as whites they drew it for people like you but nobody talks about that I guess. There is a video on here where a white man try to prove this to other whites
@MrDiem2 Carthage is in Rome dude and yea they werent black Rome was once had the greatest Empire by all means blacks can careless about trying to steal their culture I mean their men had sex with each other on regular while Africans had 5 wife's I rather stay with 5 women lol.
@Jamez8888 Has noting to do with anything, Carthage was just as much an African civilization as Ancient Egypt, and they were not black, so your claim that "blacks ruled entire Africa" is wrong on two parts
@MrDiem2 You are correct about africa being ruled by afriacns dont let people like jamez8888 fagget tell you otherwise. Europeans have a problem with history thats not theres and will stop at nothing to claim it. This Iranian shouldnt even open his mouth about egypt, hes a third world turd whos country has been engulfed by political and religious warfare.
@Jamez8888 yea thats why the average modern day black person struggles with even the most basic of mathematical concepts..... clearly the descendants of great civilization builders.
@issareign And your point is... The average modern day black person cant even speak his native language because it was banned. On top of the fact that most black can care less because their being influenced by white propaganda. We live in a white society controlled by the wealthiest of humans. This system was not set up for everybody to get a fair shot at higher education..Did you know that when you see a black person you are looking at the mother and father of all races..
@Jamez8888 Yeah its funny how you say black instead of african douchebag. The egyptian language is classified as Afroasiatic language because its Hamitic and Semitic. Yeah the theory of people migrating out of africa 300,000 years ago is total bullshit right? Wrong!! Everyone came from africa there for egyptians were africans who stayed in there homeland and egypt was built by africans. Stop comparing african americans to east africans people! Africans are africans period! Separatist bitch!!
@issareign They dont teach that in our education because then that would cause chaos with the white mans ego...Because white people created and founded everything. Matter of fact everybody came from the white man black people just some how got bigger faster and stronger which is so odd.Never-mind the Vikings were the big shots, well were are these big strong fast whities at today?
@behnamasid Becuase there is hardly anybody alive today who can speak fluent ancient egyptian, and I doubt any of those people are voice actors, it was a little stupid to make him speak arabic though, even latin would make more sense, as the egyptian population was basically a mix of white southern european, mediterranean and black people
@alexthebomb542 *Correction* Translation IN ENGLISH! Mutha F**KA, if you dont get OFf my fresh Lawn By the time I count to -... long blades up your Tuxedo wrapped a**!!!
@Saturos007 yeah, no kidding... I thought playing Civ games would make me smarter. I found out later that I already knew everything before I played hehe.
Im not sure if the things I know in Anc.His are literall knowledge, as you can read one of my more... Failed arguments below, whilst comparing Egypt, Sumer and Nubia.
@TheHKY09 Stop trying to fuck with history that doesnt belong to you lol. Talk with common sense as well! Im not sure what bias website you read that on, but try going to school and actually getting an education before sounding like a complete ignoramus. You need not put yourself out there ignorant to history and culture.
@TheHKY09 Shut your mouth fag! Your the one who needs to get educated as i just schooled your ass in history! You have the nerve to talk. Get the sand out of your vagina douche! Your the one who was saying shit that didnt make any sense what so ever.What do you mean no one can be sure? The evidence is there in egypt and anthropological studies show it dipshit! GTF!!
GGF, obviously someone has had a longer period than usual.
Actually, I was about a list of words that the Sumerian's and Egyptians shared in their individual languages, but obviously you had a bit much of the sauce and ended up arsesore after spending the night with a guy named Sally.
@TheHKY09 Who the hell here was even discussing the Minoans or Mycenaean? When did ancient greece come up dumbass? Oh i suppose next your going to bring up another irrelevant subject, like why Greco-Buddhist sculpture was found in Afghanistan, or why does the sun shine so damn bright!? Stay on subject!!
The romans died 2000 years ago, modern-day italians are a mixture between arabs from libya that migrated to southern italy and barbarians that invaded northern italy
Please! Someone send me an ACTIVATION CODE !!"" I have downloaded three different torrents and i can't crack it. Whit one i maybe only need the activation code, the other two i used cracks but it didn't started after the overwrite of the exe files. I have done this many times but this one tricks me. I would really thank for anyone who helps me.
little kids, for your information, Italy wasn't a country until 1890, and italian wasn't a language until 960. The romans didn't spoke latin with an italian accent, and they're culture wasn't modern italian. That's like saying that the native americans spoke with a modern american (US) accent 700 years ago before america was discovered
@MeenchawitTH No shit dumbfuck, it is supposed to sound different and that's why im arguing with all these morons. The ancient Siamese didn't speak exactly the same as the modern Thai speak now. Also I don't give a fuck if you take it as an offense or not.
this is clearly arabic in the egyptian accent. it's a little disappointing that it isn't at least in coptic (the closest thing we have to ancient egyptian other than, as others have pointed out, what we've decoded from the rosetta stone).
doesn't take anything away from the fact that it's rad having a badass like that chillin on a throne talkin to ya midgame! hahahaha
@rohitvip he is speaking Classic Arabic with Egyptian accent, we eyptians dont pronounce the "J" as in Jail, we pronounce it "G" as in Goal, or Golf...
so it would be Tahiyati, ........... tagseed hay le masr... instead of the standard arabic whic is Tadjseed Hay le Mesr...
WTF... thats not egyptian... thats Arabic with Egyptian Accent.... its like putting the Sioux with an redneck accent, instead of having the real language...
Darius I speaks Aramaic (the language of the time). Augustus (as you said) speaks Latin. Songhai speaks..... I dunno, Songhai? Anyway, he speaks the correct language. I'm not sure, though, if Rama speaks modern or old Thai....
Are you guys serious? Have you forgotten about the Rosetta Stone? Sure we may never fully know exactly how Ancient Egyptians spoke, but the Ancient Egyptian language has been more or less fully decoded. I cannot believe how ignorant people are becoming.
@frostyguy1989 Also, by aid of Coptic you can reconstruct it. Or you can just use Coptic (I mean all other civs, some of them ancient like the Chinese) also speak Modern Language. Egyptian Arabic was a sad choice, but I won't make too much of a fuss about this.
Also, Modern Egyptians are a mix between Ancient Egyptians and Arabs anyway. Still, it's a different language and the Roman leader also speaks Latin and not Italian.
Of course it would require an immense effort. Good jobs for Firaxis on finding an Nahuatl- and an Iroquois-speaker. Certainly the latter one must've been challenging.
@frostyguy1989 You basically answered it yourself :P We know what they were saying but we don't know how they said it... That's what everyone is talkin about :)
You know, while the arabic/ancient egypt speech conversation is interesting and all, would it be possible for someone too translate what Ramses actually SAID in the video?!
@Mitya725 the answer I would give is because of Eurocentrism and Money
Egypt (Middle East) is a cash cow for Western Nations (Britain and America) so Egypt is targeted towards that market Egyptomania, the true origins and language of the Anicent Egyptians is kept on the down low secret, but the truth is coming out slowly keep complaining
Ugh... i'm disappointed. They have him speaking Egyptian Arabic instead of Ancient Egyptian. If the makers of "The Mummy" could find people to train those actors to deliver lines in Egyptian, why couldn't Firaxis?
@RJT0123456789 Dude, chill.... I LIKE all the other aspects of the game I've seen so far; this language thing is just a minor annoyance that they could have easily fixed, especially seeing as they did the same thing in Civ 4. They had an opportunity to accurately represent the civilization this time and they blew it, but it's easily forgivable compared to how awesome the rest of the game is.
@DarkArtistKaiser They didn't blow the WHOLE thing, it's just one thing that they could've addressed many times, but they never have, which is a little bit annoying.
Perhaps they didn't have time? You forget that making a game is hard, even more so making it fully accurate. Ancient Egyptian may have been harder for their voice actors to learn and do(Or maybe they didn't have the materials). Theres a lot of possibilities to why something is done as it is.
@Mitya725 The Mummy was a heavily budgeted film, they had the money to find people to train. This is a video game, and games like these won't spend the money on voice. Many of the gamers won't even notice let alone care.
coptic langauge is often used by the christian egyptian minority...but seen the way christians are treated in the country coptic in the future will probably disappear
“of course he couldn't spoke the ancient Egyptians language, because no1 today speak it or know how to”
A very few might be able to speak it (secretly), but it doesn’t Help that the Muslims in control of Egypt BANNED the Egyptians Ancient Language in Favor of Arabic.
he should speak goa'uld, because the language of the goa'uld is ancient egyptian.

We know almost all the words of the Egyptian language, it is truly beautiful, and is similiar to the of the Nubians, or Ancient Sumerian Phonetics.
Then again, it fits into neither of these categories.
By the way, the egyptians had no vowels in their letters. =P
Alkndr is a good egyptian example,
Notice how the only vowel is the starting letter.
It means Alexander. I could go more indepth, but Character Limit. =)

@MrDiem2 I dont hate them , I just hate their ego. My dad been to Africa and he told me whats it is like in Egypt. Africa is beautiful. They dont show the good things about Africa on TV their are actually very wealthy blacks in Africa. But all we see are poor Africans on TV. Egypt wasnt even the original name of the country thats just a European term it was originally called the black land they changed it when the Arabs invaded.
Jamez8888 11 months ago
@Jamez8888 Your a fucking dumbass. Egypt was ruled and unified by africans, so get your shit straight douchebag! Im indian and i know this! Africa is a very divers contient and so are its people. Egyptian language is Afroasiatic meaning that the people were africans who spoke and african semitic tongue! Egyptians are africans and they show that on plenty of there murals! stop trying to nordize africa just so you can feel better about yourself bitch! White science is a load crap and bullshit!

@MrDiem2 The reason why its so hard for Europeans and Arabs who Believe that country was once ruled by blacks is because to say that you will have to say that blacks are intelligent and not savage beast that needs to be tam. Read books dont get your information from TV. Go travel the world and ask real Native Egyptians. This topic is bogus just like when Europeans discovered Amercia when in fact there were people called Native Americans who was here before Whites and Blacks.

@MrDiem2 very true but the same sources that state that are also the ones that say the egyptians had mediterranean blood, there's even evidence of them commonly being called "red men" by the nubians and arabs, which is what they called what were the italians and greeks of that time.

@MrDiem2 Blacks onces had the greatest Empire which was in Egypt but just like all good things , it came to end when it fell to just about everybody. Now modern Egypt looks like a Arab world.

@MrDiem2 the only interracial thing about those times was the fact that sometimes kings will marry other races such as the east Indians to keep peace between the two empires it was a way to keep peace.
