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......
@@yanina.korolko Bob Brier is a good place to start. I learn basic Hieroglyphs from his lectures.

You will get some basics just by listening to them.
