I and my family are watching this entire Berkeley series while on yet another Covid lockdown in our apartment in Rome. This is the thing about the internet that is truly amazing. If you're curious you can find information about fascinating historical periods in our human history. As an African descendant myself, since childhood I have always had an acute fascination with Kush, Egypt and the history of West Africa where my ancestors originate. Then my father did his DNA and found he is a descendant of Ramsees III. This series puts real meat on the bones of this incredible civilzation and the people who created it. Grazie mille🇮🇹♥️

West Africans are not Nubians period

[@DaMonStith]

Yesss! Great discussion.

Three man chariots? Driver shield bearer and archer? That's the ancient worlds equivalent of a tank! 😁

[@reggiewebster1]

Wow this is very good. Thank you!

39:11 This is a very popular relief of New Kingdom soldiers of Kemet, from the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari, 15th century BCE 5 centuries before the Kingdom of Kush came into being. But for whatever reason, academia like to conflate this image of Kemets soldiers with Kushite soldiers??

40:15 is hilarious

The area known as Ta-Sety, by the Ancient Egyptians was called “land of the bow” by historians without any real justification other than “they were great archers” and “the glyph in the name Ta-Sety “look like a bow”, according to historians…most of the ancient world at this time used arrows and the glyphs that represent the nine bows look nothing like the glyph in the name Ta-Sety, so I question the use of the name “land of the bows”. Also there is an 18th dynasty relief of a bound western Asian captive with glyphs of his name and one of the glyphs is 100% an arrow just like the arrows that represent the nine bows, so are we to call him a name with the word “bow” in it??
