The Black Scholar Who Destroyed the Lies of Egyptology: Theophile Obenga
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 тра 2024
- For a long time, the people who wrote about Africa’s past were mostly Eurocentric Africanists. These Western historians acted like experts on African history, but they often tried to change and control the African story. Theophile Obenga, a respected African scholar and master linguist, showed how these Eurocentric views were full of biases and dishonesty.

The story of Egypt 🇪🇬 from the Europeans invasion s heartbreaking but giving credits to Greece 🇬🇷 is so evil 👿 that they will never 👎 like us and give us credit.
Yeah.... Well tell those Neanderthals we don't like them either.
Why is it evil, it's certainly opportunist, but "evil" it's cheap and has no proof, but evil, I don't think so!
Actually Greece 🇬🇷 never once said it was theirs! To the contrary For several thousands years, the people of Greek 🇬🇷 thought Europeans as barbaric and primitive but they have high regard to African culture! They even have huge respect for Eastern culture like India 🇮🇳, China 🇨🇳 than Roman! Even today after thousands of years later Greece 🇬🇷 written sources are the most reliable sources to the world but the people of Greece interaction with Africans is 99.8% pure unbiased. Like any Orthodox Christian countries, Greek Russia 🇷🇺 Yugoslavia etc never involved in Slavery or colonialism. Greek and Roman are the closest countries to Africa and the relationship between Italian and Greek is very old and very strong 💪 even though Italy 🇮🇹 the last minute they tried to colonize some African countries but failed spectacularly! The interaction between Russian, Chinese India Ethiopia 🇪🇹 very ancient and respectful! Feb 1937 Fascist Italian general Graziani ordered to massacre the people of Addis Abeba, thousands of Ethiopians refugees inside Russia 🇷🇺, Greece 🇬🇷 embassies! They massacred 30 thousands loyal and non loyal citizens! The relationship between Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and Greece 🇬🇷 blood 🩸 bond! Lots of people gets surprised almost every time the people of Yemen 🇾🇪stand with Ethiopia 🇪🇹! It’s not political or religious but it’s fact, Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and Yemen 🇾🇪lived one empire than separated country! When Somalia 🇸🇴 invaded Ethiopia 🇪🇹 thousands of Yemen 🇾🇪 soldiers fought and died for Ethiopia 🇪🇹. Even in 2020 several Yemen 🇾🇪 soldiers fought for Ethiopian unity! To most Yemen 🇾🇪 who lived three and four generations in Addis they know what I am talking about! Still today there are more Yemen 🇾🇪 people live in Ethiopia 🇪🇹 than in Sudan 🇸🇩.
@@Shaleqa_Adenan Facts.... 100%
The Greeks are European.😅😅😅😅
Diop and Obenga are true heroes. Salute.
Let us never seek validation from non Africans, especially when it comes to important topics such as our history. ❤️🖤💚
That is very true. Complete waste of time arguing with these people. Stay focused on disseminating the truth to our kind.
The birth of Egyptology was thus
marked by the need to destroy
the memory of a Negro Egypt at
any cost and in all minds.
~ Cheikh Anta Diop 𓋹
Africans Ancestors are very great their knowledge and Intelligence came straight from the creator, or creators that put them here.
Black people are feared and held back because of what they can achieve also In greatness..its all locked in their memory bank.
The oppression faced ever since they came in contact with their oppressors is to keep black people from Rising again.
@@CarolineDunn-ql4wc
Yes.. need to connect with the African diaspora network of Africa, African Americans, Afro-Latino,Afro- Cabbarain and Afro-West.
Once this is achieved... you create Kemet 3.0.
The Honorebel Dr. Obenga called my Mother a High Priestess after hearing her pour libations to the Ancestors to open one of his lectures. I grew up hearing the best of our scholars as a child. What are our children growing up hearing now... 😢
That is a fascinating story. Kindly join our discord group, we would love to hear more.
Is queen Nzinga your mother?
Thank you brother, black excellence
We are not black.... Europeans created the black and white philosophy...we are African or kemeten
I love channels like this one because I learn a lot about my overall genetic Heritage!!!! Praise Yah!
The reason why they are fighting about Egypt not being black even though they cut off the noses and they still look African is because if they do admit it then they would have to admit that Israel is also African.
We need to reclaim African history for ourselves. I am tired of listening to Eurocentrics who know the truth about ancient Egypt but simply do not want to admit that it was a black civilisation. We, as Africans, have a responsibility to teach our children and future generations the truth about African history. We should not be told our history by foreigners.
I am confused and hope you can help me. Could you please define for me "black civilisation"; are you saying civilisation is defined by the colour of a person's skin?
africa is a continent. different people have lived in egypt, that is a fact. genetically speaking there is no such thing as race.
Race was never an issue until we challenged Eurocentricity. Now all of a sudden their scholars are backtracking and insisting on race not being an issue. Race is a Eurocentric construct, we know that. A people are identified by land, history and culture and not skin color. However, since we all know Greeks as being Caucasians, can we all agree on the fact that the dark skinned Nubians of South Sudan are the very people who established the Kemetic civilization? Or are they too black for your Eurocentric Africanist scholars?
@@robertbridge9612 it belongs to the “blacks” its as simple as that. They invade,cover up the truth, and lie blatantly. It’s that simple no need for semantics. Euros didn’t even own Greece/Rome until they invaded. They say nothing about the caucus mountains the place they actually come from. It’s sad work really.
@@robertbridge9612 Hmmmmmm???? When we use this term, "Black Civilization' it means we have shortened what we really mean which is original humans civilization! Got it now??? I hope so, because it has become exasperating explaining this simple concept to so-called self proclaimed scholars who do not do their own research!
Why is this man not taught to us in Africa. Our education system is geared to replicate western traditions and culture and not African virtues and cultures
He was my professor at university before disappearing into European schools and endless roommates.
We always have to think we came from nothing so that we can remain under the tyranny of our oppressors and praise them for their "enlightenment". We own nothing in our own countries because we have been taught to think we can't govern ourselves.
Because your leaders are greedy and find more value in Western symbols than in their own people.
I concur.... As well as Doctor Cheik Anta Diop..... Doctor Chancellor Williams.
Thank You for posting this historical video.... Doctor Obenga is one of the brilliant minds supporting African History.
Abounding Peace,
You need to find out why they are teaching western education in African schools
Thank you for this light. It was powerfully expressive. This should be mandatory in our homes for our children
Long live Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop! Our multi disciplinarian.
Their shame will surely be exposed to the daylight at the right time. Pride is deadly to the soul and blinds one from advancing to know the truth. Thus,every work stained with even a drop of pride is false and misleading !
THIS CHANNEL IS THE VICTORY 💯🇬🇼
Theophile Obenga. One of many African scholars who destroyed Eurocentric fantasies of Egyptology. FBA all the way, everyday🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻!!!!! Yera💧.
Obenga is Congolese, so he couldn't be a foundational black American. Nevertheless, his contributions in the field of linguistics showed the similarities in ancient Egyptian and other African languages
@@dericnorman7741 I never said anything about him being FBA. Yera💧.

@@fbawaterdragon4592 I am dying to know!

Has anyone seen how the Assyrians and the Elamites depicted themselves? Take a look at their wall paintings in the palace at Susan. The Assyrians depicted themselves as black people with kinky hair and dreadlocks. The Elamites depicted themselves as black people with kinky afro hair. These are not white people at all but black people. And these are the Semites. And they were black Africans. The gods of the Assyrians and the Elamites are one and the same as the gods in Kemet. What this means is that the Assyrians and the Elamites also got their knowledge from Kemet ( Egypt).
Another historical fact. The area now politically called "The Middle East" was initially a part of Africa thousands of years ago. For it actually sits upon the African tectonic plate and it was known then as North East Africa. You could literally walk from there to Kemet ( Egypt). But the British Empire split that region when it artificially created the Suez Canal in Egypt ( 1859 -1869 ) and created a physical watery border in a place where initially there was none. And during the Second World War, the artificial name "The Middle East" was created by the British in 1902 and the name has stuck since then. Later the artificial borders of the Middle East were firmly drawn during World War I by Mark Sykes, a Brit, and Francois, Picot, a Frenchman. It was called the Sykes-Picot treaty, and the secret agreement was signed in Paris and London on May 16, 1916.
The Kushite empire extended far into Asia and India. The Dravidians who were the original inhabitants of India descended from the people of Kush. Some of the Dravidians still inhabit the Southern part of India till this day and they are black people. The original statues of all the Indian gods were of black people with kinky hair. The much venerated Buddha was also depicted as a black man with kinky locks.
The Kingdom of Kemet settled colonies in the Caucus region from where the word "Caucasian" came from ( unfortunately today this name is used to refer to white people). This fact you will get when you read Herodotus' "Histories." The original settlers of Asia were all Africans and they were black people.
The fact remains that there was not a single place on this planet in which Africans did not go to sow seeds of civilization. There were Africans living in America long before Columbus came. There were Africans sitting on thrones in Europe. Africans gave knowledge to the Greeks as well as the Romans. But it is indeed a great shame that when mainstream history is taught in schools or shown on television all of these historical facts are conveniently left out.
You're on point,a lot of people fail to do research, they told so many lies and try to hide truth
Hi thank you very good, I believe more people in this country and world need to know this.
These 2 of his great books. You can also look up the UNESCO debate and print it out
Ancient Egypt and Black Africa
African Philosophy: The Pharaonic Period, 2780-330 B.C.
Great suggestions. I will tag our video on the UNESCO conference for those interested. 👍👍👍
They did the same in Mexican allowing important historical findings and covering them up in jungles because they deemed it of no real importance 😢
I HAVE said this when I have been spreading the good news over a decade now that SEM is the priest of PTAH. And it gets deeper but yes thank you ❤❤❤❤ I have peace in knowing people are growing.
Europeans have been going to Africa just taking it's history. Portuguese started then others all the museums in EU full of African ancient artifact's. When people take your history they write you out of it.
Interesting Informed Informative and definitely thought provoking!!
Exposed the lies of Zawi Hawass.
Question: Why would a man go to sleep, wake up and committ to telling the same lie till death do us apart?
This is amazing. Thank you.
Stuff, I already know. Keep up the good work. I have been arguing with folks about this subject online.
Thanks, will do!
Just want to bring your attention an article written by a journalist named Craig Simpson in the UK newspaper, daily telegraph dated 1st of January 2024 (the article is online). The article is titled ""Pyramids of Giza Part of Black History"" Black School Children Taught" The journalist questioned why ancient Egyptian history was taught in some schools in the UK as black history. I will refer you and your readers to the article to let everyone know what we are up against when we try to tell the truth about ancient Egypt. The article is accompanied by racist comments about Africans by racist readers who they think are an inferior race and could never have built a civilisation as advanced as Kemet. The journalist is questioning why school children in the UK are not taught lies his society had cooked up about Africa's past. The onslaught on black history is real and relentless and we must fight against it. We must tell our children the truth about our past history.
I just went to check the article. Bizarre from the start! Why are European scholars so concerned with the Egyptian civilization which is not even in the European continent ? Very strange indeed!
@@lukalusalalunenkuka1585Because it follows the Bible, it tell who the the Israel Hebrews are and it identifies the Gaza/ Palestinian area as North East Africa.
Master Black Teacher. Salute.
Awesomeness ❤❤❤❤!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All black countries need to team our intelectual people who made history. We black need to bring all these black fighter into our homes. Our kids need to know who these guys were.
0:20 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Gratitude Abounds. Let Historical TRUTH, as it relates to Afrikan Scholarly Findings , be known throughout HUMANITY!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Just my limited view, why do so many Egyptians leaders vehemently separate themselves from the rest of the continent of Africa , and enforce the Greek connection?
Because they know full well they have zero ancestral connection to Kemet. These are invading Arabs who arrived in the 7th century. It is even laughable that they claim to be the builders of Kemetic civilization.
You are misinterpreting their perspective since yours come from eurocentric views of race. Egyptians, nubians, and other African groups do not see a unity unless in relation to European colonialism amongst themselves just french, russian, and finnish do not see a unity unless in relation to the EU.
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
And lot are OK with the unscientific story about Egypt from the Bible.
I think they are factual stories that happened in Africa and how they interpreted them. Like Locust infestation from Yemen into Egypt down south into Africa.
The bible,is not a History book !
I have never listened to anyone from Europe talk about anything that is black history. Been to Kemet how can greek history that is said to be only two to four thousand years old be surprior to a culture to is over 10 thousand years old. The so called greek philosophers Aristotle and company were taught at the oldest school/university called The School of the Mysteries in Kemet.
I have proof that ancient Egypt was not Eurocentric and they know it and here it is. if ancient Egypt was Eurocentric all the credit they give to Greece and Rome they would be crediting Kemet with it.
Its the whole reason Egyptology was made, in order to subdue the truth of a blk history.
ARABCENTRIC EGYPTOLOGY......!!!!
The early greek themselves were ancient Egyptian who conquered the Balkan region.
DNA E-V13 has proved this.
Shool of Göttingen too. Should do a video on them as well. Shady business
DNA … is shedding light on ancestral origins and migration. I’m less concerned with who built the pyramids.. but how.
On the contrary we are concerned about amplifying the true history of the people who built the pyramids. Black as the southern Sudanese you see today. Beautifully dark like Alek Wek. We hope that causes the stomachs of Europeans and their Arab stooges to churn with envy. They were neither asiatics nor Europeans. The pyramids were not built by Aliens. The fact that Western historians are still trying to figure it out tells us it was never done by people from outside our continent. DNA of mummies dug out after invasions or before invasions? Western scholarship is intellectually lazy.
We are truly God's chosen peoples. That is why the hate us so much. The bible says " If they hated Me ( Elohim) they will hate you, a servant is higher then his Master. They hate the power we have been given by Yahusha
Addressing the EuroCentrist's use of language is paramount to establishing Linguistic and "Cutural Clarity" regarding "Alkebulan"(Africa is a Eurocentric "Moniker") The ACTUAL Name of The Continent. Scipio "Africanus" eventually Conquered Carthage(Homeland of Indigenous General Hannibal) and thereby Renamed the Continent after himself. Such has been the EuroCentric Practice of "Renaming" throughout History.(See "Alexander The Great") who Renamed Egypt as "Alexandria" after Eventually Conquering it. (Only 27 Dynasties Late ofcourse🙄)

You can tell lies by the wording. They interject their evil opinion and not facts.
We migrated from the east into Africa
Yes. My genetic tests revealed that
Is that an attempt at humoring yourself?
U mean from East Africa into Africa???,
The Original Name of AFRICA IS ALKEBULA the Land of CREATION. Humanbeings were Created with Black Skin and Woollen Hair, about 200,000 years ago, and these People called the Creator YAH not God, and the Land ALKEBULA, and themselves ALKEBULANS. Kemet was like the Capital of ALKEBULA.
Is Sem similar to Semetic?
You can find out for yourself, seek and ye shall find!😮😅😊 See: " Shem"!😅😮😊
In Hebrew tradition Shem, son of Noah is equated with Melchizedek, who was known as the King of Salem and Priest of El Elyon (the most high God), so there may be a legitimate connection between Shem/Sem and priest.
The elephant in the room is that many Israelites are mistaken for Khemetic (Egyptians) in the Bible
This makes an issue for the Whyte washed biblical history
Ironically the same people trying to separate Kemet from Africa call the rest of Africa Hametic
This is based upon the biblical son of Noah called Ham which they labelled as the father of black peoples
Ironically according to the Bible the father of Kemet is Mitsrayim(Or in the anglicise version Mizraim), Mitsrayim is a son of Ham. Even according to the Bible natives to Kemet were African through and through
Thank you
@@HistoriaAfricana thank you for educating the people. Salute to you brother 🫡✊🏾

Using an assumption based on geography to explain Egyptian history doesn't fit the actual documents of said landscape. Topography will explain where Egypt really Was located and explain the connection between black Americans in America and Egypt and it's lack of connection to The Continental Africa
The truth will always come to the light and shine brightly✅✅
The Mississippi is the True Nile
Nope
Ancient Egypt was Black African. Why? Egypt is in Northern Africa, not Europe...
Why should a continent equal a phenotype? Is the connection circumstantial or definitive?
@@NigelHatcherN i’m a little confused why using a large sea instead of a land mass with peoples (& therefore migrations) as a counter point makes sense?
FBA's are a "tribe" like Yoruba, Hausa, Baolé, etc. Theophile Obenga is from the Kongo.
What’s an FBA
Foundational Black Americans.
So what is your point
Im not a FBA and I'm born in America I am a African or a Americanized African
@@HistoriaAfricana how can there be foundational black without foundational white they literally wrote the constitution and declared independence
But Dr Diop and Dr Obenga we’re both African. Let’s allow Africans to be enjoy those Giants easily debunking cauucasians.
No need to reference Black people from the us or reference Black in this post.
Wise words. 👍
A.Egypt was multiracial Empire. In the very beginning an Asian group from Central Asia came to that territory and united with the Nubians ancestors, later some European components started joining them. That's all. Africa is a huge continent so, a few neighbouring peoples were contacting A.Egypt and took part in its development, no all the African ethnic group of the time.
egypt was nebver bantus nigroed,,,egypt is from somalia land of punt...all the dna test r from ethnics somalis e1b1b1....were is r bantus dna proof????
SMH 🤦
Read a book occasionally, "Bantu" is more racist iconography, learn some less challenging terms ,for your racism?
Where is Somalia 's greatness today ? and what were your ancestors doing to reach where you are today..nothing but war's and racism. Towards the so called bantus in your country. those are the most highs people in your country who you and the Arabs enslaved.
Egyptians don’t call them selves Africans. If this is true then why is Africa so far behind in technology. How do you have all this knowledge and are not able to use it. If Africans are the so smart what happened to keep them behind the world in knowledge. Why do blacks want to claim something that is not theirs. Why are we not just proud of who we are. You talk about Europe colonialism but what about you trying to make a claim that Africans built Egypt. Common.
Low end of the Bell curve, this one ☝️
Im Egyptian, Egyptians are Africans but not all black.. but there are many blacks in Egypt in both modern and ancient times.. but to say Egypt was all black is wrong. and what you guyz are saying is %100 true about eurocentric lying about Egypt.. not only that they stole so many from it and not give any credit to an African civilization..
What do you know about the rest of the world like persia, arabia, the steppe, siberia, india, southeast asia and its islands, China, the islands across the pacific, australia?
Europeans exceeded the rest because smallpox wiped out the natives of the Americas. As monarchs financed further expansion into a disease ridden land, their financial backers, the banks got 10,000x money than they were used to as more land and more sea routes opened up.
These banks would loan to more monarchs, more universities, more private trading companies, and more.
If African nations discovered the americas or the turks or arabs or phonecians, then they would achieve the same things as the europeans lol.
Because Africa is a new word given to the Alkebulans by the European Africanus..take away their names so they can forget who they are..also nothing but wars and murders of millions of Africans for their lands hence why you see them all over west Africa.
Many west Africans came from North Africa. go to them counting look at those people and you will see some know their history many are lost being oppressed for centuries.
