great vid! really loved the depth you covered on Ancient Egypt. but i have to say, some of the interpretations about their religious practices feel a bit oversimplified. seems like there's so much more complexity to their beliefs that wasn't fully explored. what do you think?

Can someone help me out. I wanted to know the relationship between ancient Egypt and ancient nubia. On one end the Egyptians depict the Nubians as prisoners of war and an enemy nation. But they also credit Nubia as being their mother civilization
The nubians were a vassal state of egypt having been conquered in the past, they were required to pay tribute in gold, slaves and other resources to the Egyptians. They were excellent warriors and at times were used as personal body guards by pharaoh for.the royal family. People of higher social classes also wore nubian wigs for thier exceptional quality and style of braids. The nubians rebelled several times but were crushed each time. So they were enemies when they rebelled, but they were credited when they "behaved". There is almost no natural gold reserves in egypt itself so all it's vast wealth literally came from conquered nations, namely Nubia.
The relationship between the Ancient Egyptians and the Nubians was complex and multifaceted, evolving over thousands of years. It included periods of cooperation, trade, cultural exchange, as well as conflict and domination. Here’s a summary: Trade and Cooperation • Nubia, located south of Egypt along the Nile (in present-day Sudan), was rich in resources such as gold, ivory, ebony, and exotic animals. • The Egyptians relied on Nubian trade routes for these valuable goods, and Nubia played a key role in Egypt’s economy. • There was significant cultural exchange between the two civilizations, as evidenced by Nubian influence on Egyptian art, religious practices, and even their military. Conflict and Conquest • Egypt often sought to control Nubia to secure access to its resources and trade routes. This led to military campaigns, particularly during the Middle and New Kingdom periods. • During the New Kingdom (c. 1550-1070 BCE), Egypt established control over Nubia and set up administrative centers and temples to consolidate its influence. Nubian Rule Over Egypt • In a dramatic reversal, during the 8th century BCE, Nubia became powerful enough to conquer Egypt. The Nubian kings, known as the 25th Dynasty or the Kushite Dynasty, ruled Egypt from c. 744-656 BCE. They adopted Egyptian culture, religion, and governance but retained elements of their own Nubian traditions. • The Nubian rulers, such as Piye and Taharqa, emphasized their legitimacy by restoring and building temples in Egypt, presenting themselves as the true preservers of Egyptian tradition. Cultural Integration • Despite conflicts, there was intermarriage and a blending of cultures. Many Nubians served in the Egyptian military, often as skilled archers, earning them the nickname “The Bowmen of Kush.” • Egyptian religious practices heavily influenced Nubia, but the Nubians adapted and developed their own unique traditions, such as the worship of local deities like Apedemak alongside Egyptian gods. Legacy • Even after Egyptian dominance waned, Nubia, particularly the Kingdom of Kush, remained a significant power and continued to interact with Egypt culturally and politically. • Both civilizations left lasting legacies in architecture, art, and governance, showcasing their deep connections despite periods of rivalry. Their relationship exemplifies the dynamics of neighboring civilizations, marked by mutual influence, competition, and cooperation.

Agreed. There should have been SEVERAL CULTURAL SHIFTS in 3000 years but Ancient Egypt pretty much STAYS THE SAME for all that time? Not likely at all.
Well, Egypt was mentioned in the first book of the Bible. Whether you believe in the Bible or not, the book of Genesis was written anywhere from 2600-3400 years ago (depending on who you believe) so they knew about Egypt way back then....
So as I’m watching this , it’s just repeat itself over and over again and again. I have yet to see any black Africans in this documentary. Now we know Egypt is in Africa and we know the Egyptians is black Africans. That’s a fact it’s been proven by DNA. But I’m going to watch it and tell the end. 🤔

@ ancient Egyptians were Africans. Do watch/read about the “The Uan Muhuggiag Mummy” - it predates Ancient Egyptian ones by over a thousand years. U will also learn how sub-Saharan cultures moved up into North Africa/Green Sahara, and then moved east to the Nile and established the lower Egyptian culture/civilization. Ancient Egyptians were before anything else - Africans. They resembled current Africans in Libyan and Ethiopia. The Influx of Levantine/European Mediterranean blood - did happen in North Africa. But ancient Egypt was not Arab looking as it is nowadays . Arabs conquered Egypt only in 700 A.D., - oppression of the black population followed. Know your facts , stop spreading misinformation‼️
@ahuramazda980 Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, the whole strip of north Africa, are filled with people not even from Africa or is decadent fron there. They are left overs from the medieval conquests of Muslims expanding from Arabia during the beginning of Islam and it's caliphates
Oh please ancient Egyptians art show the berbers of Libya having white skin , just because they were African doesn't mean they were black, the ancient Egyptian culture was created fro the mixing of different cultures and people, there were black Egyptians but not all of the ancient Egyptians were black thier arts almost always shows them having olive skin, if the ancient Egyptian culture was really came just from black culture than how come you don't find anything like in other parts of africa in my opinion the peoples who are close to looking like ancient Egyptians are the moden day saidi people of upper egypt they are not white they are not black but between the two.@@kennethdixonjr2272

what is the evidence that Khufu boat was there to build the pyramid and not remove the blocks? It was a random thought that came to mind because I do not think for 1 minute it is a tomb. I belive Geoffery Drumm's theory.
Egypt was called Kemet long before the flood. That turned the soil black, Kemet was the name because of the black people that lived there. So I guess the Keketism religion was named after the dirt also. WOW it's just down right defiance to believe the inhabitants of anchient Egypt (Africa) wasn't black, was the ancient Europeans white?
Ancient Egypt was often referred to as Kemet (or Kmt) by its inhabitants, which translates to “the Black Land” in their language. This name likely referred to the rich, dark, fertile soil deposited by the annual flooding of the Nile River, which was essential for agriculture and life in the region. The term distinguished the fertile areas along the Nile from the surrounding desert, which was called Deshret, meaning “the Red Land”. The name underscores the importance of the Nile’s life-giving waters and its role in sustaining the civilization. The dark soil was a stark contrast to the barren, reddish desert sands, emphasizing the dichotomy between life and survival (the Black Land) and the harsh, arid environment (the Red Land). This concept was central to the Egyptians’ worldview and reflected in their mythology and culture.
You are sub-Saharan Black go look for your history in West Africa boy you have nothing whatsoever to do with ancient Egypt. Mother and Egyptian’s are the direct descendants of ancient Egyptian‘s.
