I am from Egypt, in the third year of high school. I discovered your channel last week and it helps me a lot. I am one of your biggest fans, and I decided that when I finish studying this year, God willing, I will devote myself to it. Please pray for me to succeed with a high score this year. Good morning❤❤
Hi professor Dave! As a HS'er from a country with a lacklustre education system, your videos help me learn loads despite my learning disabilities, thanks prof.!
I have to say that the fact that you are familiar with a word like "lacklustre" suggests that you are in fact a serious and capable student.
Thanks for today's lesson, Professor.
Hoping you have yourself a most awesome Christmas.
Best to you and yours.
It was called Kemet
it didn't have a name
@imjoeimu goofball,anicet called the land kemet land of the blacks
Gypt is the original name for Egypt, its kypt in Arabic but in the Egyptian accent it would be pronounced Gypt.
@@ashiinsane90 arabcentric?
Thank you for this I like ancient Egypt for its progress that is all not emotional attachment
1:21 later as if being called this now, or did the ancient Egyptians used the Arabic term?
The term comes from the Arabic wazir, which originated in the Islamic caliphates of the Middle Ages.
@@peterwyetzner5276 No, that word has ancient Egyptian origins so are many words from Arabic. For example dua = prayer, deen =religion, mut = death, are all ancient Egyptian words and many more..
Can you please make a video on the final experiment? Eric Dubay is in panic mode
Yes please.
Thanks Dave. Excellent series of tutorials. ❤
I’ve been waiting!
Mind blowing what we know now about the world and the past. It's almost like a time travel :D such a human affairs.
6:12 this is today's borders. i guess Egypt has a historic justification to unilaterally seize the disputed land
3:26 red cross??
Ha nice. A topic I don't care about but Dave made me interested.
@10:25 that sphinx looks remarkably like Christopher Walken.
Well, he is older...
I need Afronistics to see this comment, it will drive them crazy.😂
Egyptian-level timing on this response.
why is the 7th dynasty missing in the chart at 2:16?
I think the reason is that the only explicit testimony for this dynasty comes from the 3rd- century BCE Egyptian writer Manetho. Since he was the first person we know of to organize Egyptian history according to dynasties, his system for numbering them has been kept; but he describes the seventh as a chaotic period of a couple of months at the end of the Old Kingdom; and there's no archeological evidence for it. So the chart, which is arranged chronologically, leaves it out. Some scholars think that the some of the kings of the eighth actually belong to the seventh.
@@peterwyetzner5276 Thank you.

How in the world do you learn so fast?
It's funny how even then they looked back at the past as a better time than current ones
I'm curious what Dave thinks, I've been recently recommended videos talking about how the Mandelbrot set proves God. I don't lean one way or the other, I'm just curious what Dave thinks on it.
Why would the Mandelbrot Set "prove God" ...?
"Cuz fractals kewl!!!" ?
There are other sets that make fractals.
You can download (or used to be able to anyways) a screen saver "Electric Sheep" and make your own, or vote on other cool sets.
They ARE cool but uh... "prove God" ?
@ Probably something to do with fractals being infinite and stuff. They often say it's a glimpse into the mind of God and how he supposedly thinks.
@@NOMAD-qp3dd Overall, no idea. But I'm sure whatever evidence proves it, there's also at least equal evidence to disprove it as well.

Joshephus references the Hykos as Jews. He claimed the name meant Shepard Kings
It's nice to know that nothing ever changes with people. Even 4000 years ago, we were still crying about how things used to be better in the past and immigrants are the reason why things are turning to crap.

Shoes were not very popular in ancient Egypt
They weren’t popular in all of Africa where everyone would walk barefoot.
flip flops it was or sandals at ancient times
Back in the day, Crocs had to to made from actual crocodile.
They still aren't.........
@@SodapopTheOutsider wtf. Egypt literally invented the shoes, and it went to Europe from here.
you should talk about the demographic shifts, like how the romani people came to the south
Romani people didn't leave India until thousands of years after Egypt's Middle Kingdom. They didn't exist as a distinct people that far back. Why would they appear in a video about a time and place they didn't exist in?
@@bitkower idk that's why im asking lol
@@bitkower pakistan**
@imjoeim Why not just start by reading about Romani history on Wikipedia? From there, you can follow sources that article cites. There's also UA-cam videos about them. There's at least one Romani creator making videos on UA-cam, though I forget his name.
Please DR Dave , can you illustrate in your comming parts how Egyptians weren't black people and the ancient Egyptians are the ancestors of current people based on scientific researchs
Just go and search by yourself, Egyptians weren't black people . There are hundreds of articles that discussed these topics
A summary by chat GPT
The 2017 study published in *Nature Communications* provides valuable insights into the genetic history of ancient Egyptians, but it does not definitively answer whether modern Egyptians are direct descendants of ancient Egyptians in a simple way. Here's what the study indicates:
1. **Ancient Egyptian DNA Profile:**
- The mummies analyzed (dating from about 1400 BCE to 400 CE) had genetic profiles most closely related to ancient Near Eastern populations, particularly those in the Levant.
- These ancient populations showed little Sub-Saharan African ancestry.
2. **Modern Egyptian DNA Profile:**
- Modern Egyptians show more genetic diversity and a higher degree of Sub-Saharan African ancestry compared to the ancient mummies. This suggests a gradual increase in gene flow from Sub-Saharan Africa over the last 1,500 years.
3. **Continuity and Change:**
- While there is evidence of genetic continuity in Egypt over time, migrations, trade, and cultural interactions have introduced new genetic influences. This makes the modern Egyptian population more diverse but does not mean they are entirely unrelated to ancient Egyptians.
### Conclusion:
Modern Egyptians are partly descended from ancient Egyptians, but their genetic makeup has been influenced by additional populations over millennia. The cultural and historical continuity of Egypt strongly ties modern Egyptians to their ancient heritage, even if genetic shifts have occurred.
Yeah i know but i hope others how have misconceptions realise.
I actually found out that modern Egyptians have 8% African genetics more than Ancient Egyptians. This was result of the 100 years Nubians ruled Egypt. However modern Egyptians are not black?!!
This shows how it impossible for Ancient Egyptians to be black African

the first complete genetic analysis compare modern and ancient egyptians was a german study puplished by university of cambridge that proves that ancient egyptians shares agreat fraction of genetics with modern egyptians and grantee that ancient egyptians werent black africans
www.cam.ac.uk/research/news/first-complete-genome-data-extracted-from-ancient-egyptian-mummies?
The 2017 study on ancient Egyptian mummy genomes found that ancient Egyptians were genetically closer to populations in the Near East (middle) than to modern sub-Saharan Africans. Modern Egyptians, while showing continuity with the ancient population, also exhibit additional genetic admixture from sub-Saharan Africa,* which occurred in the past two millennia.*
this means that black African genetics inserted recently in egyptin community okay
This indicates that there is significant genetic continuity between ancient and modern Egyptians, but modern Egyptians also reflect the broader regional and historical influences that have shaped the population over time.

Thanks
cheers from Egypt and happy new year!
English speakers actually do say "vizier".
@peterwyetzner5276 i thought this was a reference to the arabic origin of the word so i though i'd mention the proper pronunciation in arabic, it is still in use meaning minister , but good to know.
thanks!
What do you mean Afrocentric debunk. KMT was a Black African civilization speaking an African language with Pharoes who all had African names. The Arab/ Semetic invaders came thousands of years later. What do you mean "debunk".You mean Arabcentric invader BS Debunk.
@@Mark-j9d8r Ancient Egyptians were mixed, the balck population mainly lived in its southern part. Northern part was settled by migrants from middle-east (migration happened thousands of years prior).
@@przemog88
They were Black Africans, with Black African names who spoke a Black African language. They came up the Nile from Kush and Kanit to create KMT FFS. No Arab, Semite or Greek infected their society till several thousand years later. This is Known.

Aye
Good that you’re showing the actual self-depictions of the Nile valley civilisations that showed themselves as dark skinned black Africans rather than AI or contemporary art of them as light skinned Eurasians. This’ll probably make some viewers very vexed.
They are not black
you are so proud of this black man drawing with red crown that's not even ancient art
@@maihosny2006
They’re fully black African people. Their language is fully African, from the Horn of Africa. Their art depicted themselves as dark skinned people who live in the African desert. Cry harder 🤣
Hey dude who told you that the ancient Egyptians were dark skinned? As an Egyptian I can tell that most of the statues, papyri and pictures on the walls of the temples that I have seen with my own eyes are of white skinned people and there are also some people with warm skin and not black skin and who do not even have African features(all of them had small long nose and thin lips) and this is what is prevalent among the Egyptian people until now and this is what was confirmed by DNA analysis of most mummies. Even that they painted by redish or of white colors not black as you can see.😅 it is very rare to find black people but they still exist due to Egypt location ( until now aswan and neupa are black people because they location in far south) that is normal.
Guys stop spreading rumors like the pharaohs are aliens and or they were Jews or even black Africans. I know that the Egyptian civilization is the greatest civilization and this is what makes you doubt that it is even human but Egypt is for Egyptians only. And as they called it, Egypt is the mother of the world. It came and then came history 🇪🇬 ❤

The video shows the 11th and 12th dynasties, especially Mentuhotep who was a dark skinned black African man. Cry harder
