    Europeans destroyed those pyramids looking for treasure. How sad.

      the treasure was a perk: they were going to do it any how. " these are over the air electricity grids that carry the power." Gold is the best conductor The Europeans have the data that this is not modern era. POWER GRIDS ARE ALL OVER THE PLANET.
      The fake Egyptians have some of the machines-parts in possession but tell tourist ancient people use rocks to carves straight "laser" lines into rock
      ..................................................sad is the lies they tell you in schools............
      you think Telsa came out with this and that and all the "fathers of mathematics, astronomy, medicine blah blah blah " Leonaro da vinci, Galileo, Parcelsus , Gerardus Mercato that entire Renaissance period was an intellectual heist >>> before they #acquired ship technology to the outside continent.
      they were retarded for a 1,000 years after the Romans left AND ALL-OF-A-SUDDEN they were enlighten!! aint that something? the same people who couldn figure out showers & soap.
      the same people who thought rubber & latex in central America was magic, because its bounced in the air.... yep those people.

      Tim Pargad well... not every country, to be honest. I roamed around for one month wearing no scarf and only short-sleeved shirts and no-one told me off. something I could not have done in Saudi Arabia or Iran (a place which I'd love to visit for its incredible history, btw), where I am forced to wear a scarf according to their laws, visitor or not. In Sudan, women can work, get a degree and drive on their own. but I'll give you that you are 100% right on the matter religion, which "regulates" a great part of their lives whereas we live in a way more secularised environment (which I don't despite, quite the contrary!).

      Tim Pargad I see what you mean. Regarding the public flogging in Indonesia, I'm in two minds, because I support LGBT rights and anyone should be free to love whomever they want. Same applies to what is happening in Chechnya right now. But on the other hand, who am I to criticize the rules of the other countries? I don't really know what to think about the whole matter, honestly. What is happening in Turkey is disgraceful too. I didn't know churches had been shut down. Erdogan is just a "dictator" in disguise, albeit elected democratically. After the referendum, things are bound to go downhill, but this has been a decision of the Turkish citizens. Each to their own. I expect a sh*tstorm against me, now D-:

      @@jba297 Art is not the way to go if you want to say the Ancient Egyptians were black. Sure, some of the images look somewhat "negroid" or whatever you want to call it, but more often they look Asiatic. Prince A is right in that the only genetic evidence we have gathered so far links Egyptians with the Middle East more closely than Sudan. However, this is only preliminary evidence gathered in one location from the New Kingdom to the Roman periods in lower Egypt. Future research might show a stronger black genetic component from older periods or in upper Egypt. The Sudanese pyramids are certainly not older than the Egyptian pyramids (they're as much as 1000 years younger). Civilization came later in Sudan because the waterways were still shifting from the end of the Saharan wet period (an entire branch of the Nile dried up). Pottery does suggest an early pre-Egyptian transfer of culture from south to north, but this was before any civilization

      Ya many people see it as a karma, but a very odd karma, if you don't know Sudanese History, we have had many wars with Italians (Ancient Rome) actually only 2 wars. they invaded first, but with our great warrior queen Amanashiko we killed every single roman, they didn't stand a chance. Since they invaded first we invaded them back, but when we invaded it was a silent war, we performed the most perfect guerilla warfare there was, we assassinated like ninjas, the killing were mainly done by women since women were faster than men and more quieter than men. We stole many ancient artifacts and even the emperors crown.
      (We keep ancient roman and ancient greek artifacts in our museums) There is much much more to this but long story short.

But not only is it a great place but also the people, they are sooooooo kind and welcome anyone no matter what colour skin you have and where you are from they will gladly welcome you and when your just walking on the street and you see someone they won’t hesitate to say hi. What I’m trying to say is all country’s are amazing and they have an amazing past yes Egypt is amazing but it’s not the only nice country and you don’t know about other countries unless u go and travel like this guy has which is why I really appreciate him for exploring and finding the amazing past each beautiful country has.🥰

So that started my descent into trying to understand my own culture that I had been adopted out of. Even though I had started to really understand what it was like to be black in America I really thought the pyramids thing was an untrue claim. Trust me so many white people who don't even think of themselves as racist think that black people building the pyramids isn't true.

    Most scholars believe these pyramids are younger than the ones in Egypt. But they're way wrong. If you look at the ancient map of Egypt or the way ancient Egyptians saw their land, you will understand my view. Ancient saw their land from South to North as a result of the flow of the Nile from the highlands which laid in the south. Thus, Egyptians considered South Egypt as Upper Egypt and North Egypt as Lower Egypt. The ancient Egyptians themselves claimed that they together with their culture came from the South, which is Upper Egypt. Egyptians first settled in the highlands close to their brother Kush(Ethiopia). Ethiopians also hold this view. As such civilisation started first from Upper Egypt before people moved up north to Lower Egypt. Sudan was part of Upper Egypt, which later became called Nubia. The Pyramids in Sudan, eventhough, small in stucture as compared to the ones in modern day Egypt, represent the earliest types...prototypes of the ones found in modern day Egypt. Do you also know that Egyptians had the holiest place in Sudan? A mountain with the top resembling a cobra snake?
