    Thank you for your lecture. Enjoyed the info and images.
    Regarding young pharaoh "Tutan-khamun -- why do we continue to represent an African - dark skinned - person as an "European" ?
    Why do we continue to "white wash" African archeological findings?

      @Dr.Yalex Where are you talking about? They have a picture of an Egyptian boy.
      The representations of different cultures including Nubians are a factor in many images. But in this talk it is an Egyptian boy.

      @@kevinkevin-ug9po ancient Egypt was African black. 17:36 20th century Egyptian boy used is also African black. All of ancient Egypt was African, Nubians were darker black, a different variety of African black. Ancient Egypt had nothing to do with “white people“ - it was an African civilization started and maintained by Black people from Africa.
      Have a nice day.

    17:00 The "Egyptian boy" -- black, African boy looks like young Tut, same bone structure, same skin shade, same hair type. The 1927 black African boy - was used because he REPRESENTS Tut RACIALLY

    I just came back from Cairo. Having looked at his golden mask in the face, he is just a minor pharaoh after his dad has lost the empire. Imagine the tomb of Ramses the great, intact.

      Tut was buried in his stepmother's (Nefertiti) tomb.
      All of his father's/mother's belongings were buried with him - in order to end (and forever forget) the "Aten" god. So no, Ramses' and other pharaohs tombs were not as rich as that of Tuts. (FYI)

      @@Dr.Yalex. Tut was Usurped by his chief minister and lots of his funeral objects were not even made for him. his stuff must be a lot stingier than earlier 18 dynasty kings, let alone 19 dynasty zenith king Ramses 2nd.

      @@thejeffinvade I saw that film as well, lol
      But, I don't trust Hollywood much, as I lived in it.
      FYI - what I wrote comes from real books and real research, not made up films. Tut was NOT usurped. He passed away, and his half-sister-wife wrote to Anatolia to send her a husband as she was above marrying her "uncle" who was below her in stature.... do read more.
      Take care

      @@yanina.korolko I didn't say he was killed. I said he is usurped. There is a difference. There was a theory that speculated Tut was killed, but MRI result has put that to rest.
      I don't know what film you are talking about, but I know Tut is a minor pharaoh and his funeral objects are quite poor based on historical common sense. You will have some common sense after you learn some basics......
