    I may have already said this before, but your style of telling history with visuals is second to none on youtube for me personally. Example: the heirs of aethelwulf has always flown over my head whenever mentioned in books or media, but somehow your way of showcasing and telling it immediately clicked in my head, and now I know.

    Question! If Hor-Aha is thought to be Narmer's son, why isn't Narmer considered part of the first dynasty?

    • @Topicushistory
      @Topicushistory Місяць тому

      That's a good question modern Egyptologists came up with the Dynasties as the Ancient Egyptians just did one long list from beginning to the end. If memory serves there are about 4 Egyptian kings lists and they begin with Hor Aha, none of them mention Narmer or Menes. Manetho who was an Egyptian historian that lived in the late Greek period stated that Menes was the first Pharaoh before Hor Aha. Before but Egyptologists were unsure if he was mythical or not as he wasn't on the much older Kings lists. The Narmer Pallett was discovered in the 1990's no one had ever heard of Narmer. before that but it was hard evidence of an earlier reign. Egyptologists by then had all ready established dynasty 1 long before that, so they created a dynasty 0 based before Hor Aha which included Pharaoh's before and during unification.

      @@kafuuchino3236 I could but as of yet we only have two solid names Scorpion King and Narmer. It is the period we know the least about it seems even the Egyptians themselves forgot about it they believed the God's ruled before Hor Aha. So Egyptologists totally rely on archeology to piece it together. Hopefully when I get round to it they may have discovered something ground breaking.

    1:50 Senuseret was a black African man. Both the 11th & 12th dynasties we’re fully black as is easily verified through their own artefacts. Look up Mentuhotep’s sculpture and tell me that’s not a black man. The 18th dynasty that defeated the Hyksos who were so black that even the Amarna mummies studies proved they had the closest affiliation to Great Lakes & Southern Africans. What I cannot understand is how you Egyptomaniacs cannot see they’re a black Nile valley civilisation despite all the completely incontrovertible evidence such as their language which originated in the Horn of Africa, their animals which were independently domesticated in Africa (cattle in the Sudan & donkeys in the Horn of Africa), as well as the qustul incense burner from what’s referred to as “Nubia” that shows the pharaonic traditions existed in the predynastic upper Nile as well as Nabta Playa that proves black Africans were exceptional astronomers capable of understanding concepts only known to modern astronomy in the past/ century. The tashwinat mummy also proves that black Africans practiced mummification 1,000 years prior to any Nile valley mummy. It’s all black African. Even Champollion himself said it was and he’s the father of Egyptology with his deciphering of hieroglyphics. The hieroglyphs for the word “face” is a black man’s face if you needed any proof. The Sphinx has been proven to be an African face thanks to the extreme prognathic features of his face.
