@@rc59191 This literally has nothing to do with Hebrew Israelite, This is about an African Kingdom called Kingdom of Kush that existed and was a thriving civilisation that conquered Egypt in the 8th century BC and ruled it as its 25th Dynasty and even defeated the mighty Roman Empire in 22 BC. Because the Nubians didn't need to pay tribute to Rome and the treaty was favourable towards Nubia.

The Roman's are over Romanticized too much by film 🎥 and television grossly exaggerated, they weren't that great it was the Egyptians, Rome stole alot from Egypt before they self proclaimed themselves as the greatest, perhaps their greatest archiving was making people think that.

It's true that it's often over-romanticised but I think the reason why Western historians are so interested in it is also simply because it was so impactful and influential to European/Western history and because it managed to last for such an insanely long time despite the extreme heterogeneous nature of the population.

Nubia actually existed before Egypt and Egypt only formed from the outsiders of the Nubian empire who fled north. Egypt inherited its religion and ideals from Nubia and eventually became more powerful because they were situated on the Mediterranean sea and had access to trade partners across europe and the middle east. When the Persians invaded egypt as well as the Libyans, it was the Nubians who went back to Egypt to take it from them since the Libyans and Persians were perverting the ancient religions and customs.

Pardon me for pointing this out but the Kushite queen who fought Petronius was Amanirenas, not Amanishakheto, who was the former's successor. I noticed it when you mentioned that the queen had one eye and was a brave warrior who managed to fight off the Romans which was associated with Amanirenas.
The stuff of legend, what they don’t teach you in the history books. You have to be as lucky as I was growing up as a student in the 90’s My social studies teachers would simply say,”I need for you to close your textbooks because I’m going to teach you something your never gonna get there” and we were grateful for the impromptu lessons😊Keep in mind we didn’t have the internet back then and even in the late 90’s the internet was still in its infancy so we solely had to rely on books that really didn’t tell you much unless you were able to find a scholarly source to teach this beneficial information
I grew up in the 70s and 80s and had the very same experience. I think it's the school and the teachers not the era. ( Although I hear now a days things are really stripped down and evasive, due to people being way less tolerant, easily offended and too sensitive. Everything is PC) If teachers are lazy and don't care, the lessons reflect it.
The region was originally known as Kush not Nubia. And you skipped a fair bit of history the first Nubian kingdom was Kerma going back around 2,500 BC, Kerma wasn't militarily inferior to Egypt far from ot as they constantly raided Upper Egypt and fought the Egyptians. The Egyptians built dozens of fortifications on their border because the Kushites of the Kerma kingdom weren't a joke. Alara founded the Napatan dynesty of Kush, before that we have a bit of a dark age after the Egyptians lost control its likely he and the region was not tribal my friend.
@Saint Ace yes I am aware both sides attacked each other and also worked together at some points like Medjay Kushites were a major part of the Egyptian army. They frenemies indeed lol.
I've always wanted to learn more about Africa's history 🌏☀️ I always knew that there were other powerful African civilizations besides just Egypt...Africa has such a rich history that's been covered up and so overlooked....A lot of people don't know that the Sahara Desert 🏜 was once a jungle🌴 The Bible talks about it in Isaiah....
Yes that is correct. The oldest examples of Nile Boats are found in Sudan. The oldest examples of Pottery. The oldest examples of megaliths found in Nabta Playa. Most of the ancient sites along the Nile going back over 6,000 and 10,000 years ago are found in the South and that culture flowed North to the Lower Nile to found the civilization of Kemet in the South of the country. The Epipaleolithic and Mesolithic cultures along the Nile are all in the South, such as the Halfan Culture, Kubbaniyan culture, Sebilian culture and Qadan culture all originated between Sudan and Upper Egypt.
These are histories that should be told more often. I remember that Africans are shown in many films about ancient Rome and Egypt & I got the strong message that they were a respected civilisation, which is shown here. The whole world should know about this. They have left many ruins of their civilisation as the south Sahara swallowed up much of it. However the history is written of it from the Roman and Egyptian side, so nothing can be denied. We all originally come from Africa, so to me it is easy to accept these histories. Cynthia McLaglen
I agree we need to invent more history to tell black people they are amazing. Without that no black civilization could get past warlords and child soldiers.

@@DaduaMaiga I disagree I think the whole continent deserves attention despite your opinion on some of the cultures and kings my friend.

@@admirekashiri9879 Yes, you might be right, because its part of the continent's history that needs to be known, even though I dislike what Ezana did, we should all acknowledge him how crucial he was, he was like the Aksumite version of Constantine, and I think Ezana conversion happened few decades after Constantine's conversion. Ezana converted (350 C.E.?).

This video is highly inaccurate when it comes to stating that the Nubians were militarily inferior to the Egyptians. Foolishness. Nubia invaded and ruled Egypt for seven decades at one stretch. Military might is measurable at fixed points in time. At one time Greece had the mightiest military in the world under Alexander. 200 years later the empire was fractured. The same is true of all empires. However the Empires of Egypt and Nubia stood for thousands of years. Not one thousand, but thousands. Nubia's last incursion into Egypt is the present border of Egypt and Sudan today. That border stood right through the Roman Empire. Inferior?
Hahahaha, I think it's funny people are always so proud to find out that their ancestors went to war to take over other countries, but yet when it comes to white people we are the colonizers haha, we're so evil, lol 😆 it's ok for other people's to do it just as long as their not white
Speaking of Kush... You may also make a video on the Kushan Empire. The name being similar is just a coincidence, but it's also one of the largest and strongest empires of its time, and unfortunately pretty much no one knows about it today.
I always get in arguments when I tell people the modern Egyptians are NOT the original ones; just like the middle east used to be Africa as well although it’s still in Africa.
The Middle East is a group of countries in Africa, Europe and Asia. It's not a continent or a singular country, it's just a geo-political region the US and Western Countries use to group "certain" people.
The modern Egyptian people are not indigenous to Egypt, they came from the so called middle east, and brought their culture of Islam and Arabic with them, the Original Egyptians were indigenous Africans who honored many aspects of gods and godesses, and their ancestors, just like the rest of black African cultures.
Don't go further into the comment section. The trolls have awoken and are in full swing. Also, thank you for recovering this lost and forgotten civilisation, Nubia is such an underrated civilisation that just has been forgotten and overlooked.
@@shockwavesteve Actually, you are 100% wrong, because humans lived in Africa more then anywhere else in history, since Africa was the place where humans evolved.

Nice video, but with some error is to say that the Kushites learned how to build pyramids from Egyptians. That's not true. The pyramids in the Nubian area predate the Egyptian pyramids. It's important to note that the Nubians always regarded Egyptians as their cousins, and not separate or alien people. The Nubians already had believed in Amun Ra~Sun God, before the invasion, and infact they carried with them a statue and alter of Amin Ra even in war. Also note that, the Nubians attacked Egypt so as to overthrow and rescue them from foreign rule of the Assyrians.
@@deebonanno3165 Facts. Egyptians considered them "vile", "wretched Kush" etc. Usually exaggerated their "negroid" morphology in their art depictions, Tut had a sandle with a jet black "Nubian" he would step on every day, they built fortifications to stop them from coming in Egyptian territories, pharoahs constantly depicted themselves smiting them, and Kush was a long standing colony of Egypt overseen by Egyptian viceroys.

I agree and would suggest black people of the Diaspora to read "The Destruction of Black Civilization" by Chancellor Williams. He elaborately explains what the ancient world in Africa was like before and after any infiltration or invasions of European,Arab and Asian people who were inserting themselves in places they don't belong.
It is in the bible and also in ancient history, they are the descendants of Ham, Noah's son, the dark skinned curly hair settled in Africa, and the dark skinned straight hair people settled in India
There are so many names in this video that are still common in our culture. My dads first Name is Tut like king tut and my uncles name is Marao like Meroe i wish there was more recorded history I believe the original kushites were the Nilotic people.

@@DaduaMaiga You can say it to yourself a thousand times, but all evidence points to the fact the core, the basic concept, was derived from Egyptian demotic and hieroglyphics. The very primitive element of phonology is most likely also derived from another culture, the Greeks.
@@vario2664 i mean, weren't most languages influenced by preceding ones? very few languages were independently created without external influence (save for chinese, and maybe two or three others).
@@jacqyralovejoy6982 "Influence" is a relative term, with nothing, obviously, operating in a vacuum. But, the DEGREES of influence make all the difference in the world and can render one cultural manifestation predominantly 'owned' by a culture, while another manifestation predominantly the result of diffusion. The basic concept of the Meroitic was diffused from Egypt, as exact Egyptian hieroglyphs were found, and pre-dated the advent of Meroitic by close to 3,000 years. And, again, to your point, the degree to which Egyptian Hieroglyphics was influenced by a preceding form is apparently MUCH less, if indeed at all, than the degree to which Hieroglyphics influenced Meroitic.
I was always saddened by the fact that Kemet in this period was so weak that invaders fought invaders on our land! But again, this is pretty normal for every civilization on earth.
wow they conquered egypt and drove away the romans. they really were a srong nation. awesome vidoe dude. and i was wondering if you can make a video about Napoleon Bonaparte i really want to learn more about him Edit: Can y’all just stop replying, my god🙄
They didn't drive the Romans away they made a deal, and Rome at the time decided not to spend time effort and resources into it because it would be too costly.
@@KingZealotTactics Actually they did, During Rome's plan to invade Nubia, The Kushite Queen Amanirenas led her successiful attack on Rome's legions, then at the end in 22 BCE a peace treaty was signed, ending Rome's dream to invade Nubia. The treaty was favorable towards the people of Meroe. Unfortunate the Meriotic Script has not yet been deciphered, so we do not know the full-details of the full real story.
@@HimmReaper White pharaohs existed too. Egypt was conquered many times. Making the distinction is correct because of the amount of rulers that conquered Egypt.
Great history, i always heard that the pyramids in sudan are older than the ones in Egypt which was upper Nubia or the land Mizraim and that the Cushites are the ones who built up the empire in Egypt, because they walked along side the nile river and went to upper Nubia, or Egypt (kemet), so the But like the bible says they are all the children of ham, Mizraim, cush, canaan, phut, but great channel, and thanks for the explanation, i have learned something else
@Arminos Bambinos I'm referring to the more reason Egyptian movies and how the crews offset movies didn't have enough respect the story enough to cast people that are more complexion accurate.
I studied African History back in college and most historian academics agree Kushite Kingdom is an older civilization since mankind was birthed in the South of Africa. Egypt was a colony of Kush. But mainstream media, governments, and the educational system distort that history and say Egypt is older which makes no sense. It's the same way they they want you to believe that Christopher Columbus discovered North America.
It only makes sense. There are over 200 smaller Pyramids in Nubia. That's proof that the techniques were being developed and mastered in Nubia. Reaching their height in Egypt, with the construction of the Great Pyramids.
There is a mention in Ramayana that Rama gave his younger son a far off landscape to rule and it was named after His son's name as kingdom of Kusha. As his name was Kush.
I AM JAMAICAN. BELIEVE AND LOVE OUR HISTORY VIA GHANA. NIGERIA . ETC TO THE CARIBBEAN WE KNEW NOTHING OF AFRICAN HISTORY. HAPPY WE CAN LEARN THAT NOW NEVER TOO LATE.
So many people the world over have clue about this very important part of Egyptian history. Thank you once again for continuing to educate us all. 👏👏👏👏
He got Amanishakheto and her predessor Queen Amanirenas mixed u. It was queen amanirenas who cut the head off the statue and buried it under the temple and went to war with Rome.
Exactly, I would love to see films based on King Piye and why he believed that Amen or Amun have summoned him to conquer Lower Kemet (Egypt) and to overthrew the heathen Libyans and to restore Nile Valley culture, and King Taharqa who saved the city of Jerusalem from being destroyed by the Neo-Assyrian Empire or Queen Amanirenas who fought off the Romans in a war that lasted for fives years and made Kush from being exempt for having to pay tribute to Rome, so many interesting real historical stories that needs to be told that would make epic historical films and that needs to be told in the big screen!
@Nubiamancy Nope. We have many Old Kingdom sculptures which resemble very closely the current population of Egypt (especially Copts). Nubians are not Egyptians.
Hey tut, the dinka and nuer are originally people who came from North sudan, there is an island in Khartoum called tuti Island I herd thats where the dinka and nuer had a disagreement. But unfortunately many south sudanese don't know their home land was originally north sudan.

Dude we are in the West,so naturally the history of the West would be depicted on movies created in the West,so you will always see films about Greece and Rome,maybe black directors like Steve McQueen or Spike Lee might make films on African history
I'm sorry, but I have noticed 2 inaccuracies in this video. 1. The Kushites had their own writing, but we have been unable to translate their writings. It is for this reason we rely on Egyptian records to know more about Nubians, not because they did not write. 2. The wealthy Greeks sent their children to Egypt to study philosophy of which Plato and Socrates were amongst those sent to Egypt who then weny back to their nations to make their names from what they learnt in Egypt. Wealthy Greeks also preferred and were able to afford to use Egyptian doctors, as they were better than those in Greece. I hope this helps. Peace and love
makes me want to do some independent studying of our history. It brings context even to the Biblical account of Moses marrying a Cushite woman and how Moses' siblings did not approve of her.
Yes! We have beautiful history and you definitely should do your own independent research of our history. The Kushite civilization, The Egyptian civilization, The Aksumite Empire, The Great Zimbabwe ruins, the medieval Ethiopian Castles of Gondor, the rock cut out churches of Lalibela, one of the oldest universities in the world called Timbuktu, Mansa Musa- the richest king to ever live, The Moors, The nok culture, the Ashanti tribe, the Ife sculptures, The Benin bronzes and soo much more.
Kushites were literate way before the creation of Merotic script in 800 bce. How do we know this? During the reign of Kamose I and the battle with the Hyksos king Apophis ..Kamose's men were able to intercept a letter from Apophis to a Kushite king asking for alliance against Egypt and offering to split Egypt between the two. This is well documented in the Kamose inscription where he laments between between the Nehusu and the northern usurpers. This likely means the Kushite royalty were fluent in Demotic script.
It was Kemet for 4000 years . Didn't become Egypt till 332BC . Thats why there is no such thing as an Ancient Greek Pharaoh . The Ancients never called themselves Egyptians . Thats a Greek word. As far back as Narmer it was Kushite and Nubian rule . Nubians go back to the very beginning .
Great documentary. The first Nubian civilisations were Kerma and Sai, with Kerma later swallowing all of Sai and forming a kingdom spanning almost half of modern day Sudan. These events happened between 3000 and 2000 BC. Unfortunately, most of their scriptures were lost to time.
They've managed to keep us apart for hundreds of years, we must unite, we must see the lies now. All black people around the world must work in solidarity, it's the only way to move forward!!!
Interestingly enough, this isn't the first video I've watched and learned about Nubia. The Kings and Generals version was the first one I've watched about the Nubians. Thus, giving a great insight into their culture, history, society and religion. Fun fact: They adopted the Christian faith of the Eastern Roman Empire, and had relations with the Islamic world.
Jacob(the patriarch of ALL Israelites) was a descendant of Cush(the father of the Cushites and Nubians). This means the original Israelites from the bible are in fact Nubian Sudanese. They even date back to the time the Nubians ruled over Greater Egypt(which included modern day Israel and Palestine). Abraham was himself, also a Cushite. So was Moses(AmenMesse from ancient Egyptian sources).
It would've been nice if ancient cultures in Africa developed more writing. Since nothing is written down it really makes it difficult to learn about. Spoken history is insanely hard to follow since it changes so much from person to person. Makes learning stories from native Americans difficult as well. I've heard 37 different versions of the same legends lol.
Video is interesting but there are a few misleading informations ℹ. 1. Actually Egypt was born from Nubia. King Narmer is the one who united the country and the first to bear the Shekmet Crown symbolizing lower and upper Sety (Ta-Sety and Ta-Mery that would latter be called Egypt) 2. There is a confusion between Queen Amanirenas (who was blind in one eye) and Amanishaketo. They bought fought the Romans but the one you referred to was the second. 3. The real name of pharaoh were nesou and means "he who comes from the South", so it's no surprise that they shared the same beliefs and both built pyramids. Kush and Egypt are part of the same culture.

Because the Nubians didn't need to pay tribute to Rome and the treaty was favourable towards Nubia.

That's how evolution works.

Nubia actually existed before Egypt and Egypt only formed from the outsiders of the Nubian empire who fled north. Egypt inherited its religion and ideals from Nubia and eventually became more powerful because they were situated on the Mediterranean sea and had access to trade partners across europe and the middle east. When the Persians invaded egypt as well as the Libyans, it was the Nubians who went back to Egypt to take it from them since the Libyans and Persians were perverting the ancient religions and customs.
Europe never existed as it is a recent made up term for the benefit of some. Ancient Africans ruled these lands before Nubia or Egypt was even born.

This video is highly inaccurate when it comes to stating that the Nubians were militarily inferior to the Egyptians. Foolishness. Nubia invaded and ruled Egypt for seven decades at one stretch. Military might is measurable at fixed points in time. At one time Greece had the mightiest military in the world under Alexander. 200 years later the empire was fractured. The same is true of all empires. However the Empires of Egypt and Nubia stood for thousands of years. Not one thousand, but thousands. Nubia's last incursion into Egypt is the present border of Egypt and Sudan today. That border stood right through the Roman Empire. Inferior?
Finally someone with the good sense to understand that the power prestige and military dominance of nations fluctuate.

But, the DEGREES of influence make all the difference in the world and can render one cultural manifestation predominantly 'owned' by a culture, while another manifestation predominantly the result of diffusion. The basic concept of the Meroitic was diffused from Egypt, as exact Egyptian hieroglyphs were found, and pre-dated the advent of Meroitic by close to 3,000 years. And, again, to your point, the degree to which Egyptian Hieroglyphics was influenced by a preceding form is apparently MUCH less, if indeed at all, than the degree to which Hieroglyphics influenced Meroitic.
Simply Incredible.
Once our people realize how powerful we are, then we can concur a lot of things mainly come together as a people.
I was always saddened by the fact that Kemet in this period was so weak that invaders fought invaders on our land! But again, this is pretty normal for every civilization on earth.
We all African here , Sudan etc doesn't count here
wow they conquered egypt and drove away the romans. they really were a srong nation. awesome vidoe dude. and i was wondering if you can make a video about Napoleon Bonaparte i really want to learn more about him
Edit: Can y’all just stop replying, my god🙄
I understand that they also repelled Alexander the Great.
They didn't drive the Romans away they made a deal, and Rome at the time decided not to spend time effort and resources into it because it would be too costly.
The Haitian Revolution also became victorious after they defeated Napoleon troops in 1804.
@@KingZealotTactics Actually they did, During Rome's plan to invade Nubia, The Kushite Queen Amanirenas led her successiful attack on Rome's legions, then at the end in 22 BCE a peace treaty was signed, ending Rome's dream to invade Nubia. The treaty was favorable towards the people of Meroe. Unfortunate the Meriotic Script has not yet been deciphered, so we do not know the full-details of the full real story.

yes they were all kushites, but different tribes. and all black.

No, they were not.
Lmbo RIGHT!
Great history, i always heard that the pyramids in sudan are older than the ones in Egypt which was upper Nubia or the land Mizraim and that the Cushites are the ones who built up the empire in Egypt, because they walked along side the nile river and went to upper Nubia, or Egypt (kemet), so the But like the bible says they are all the children of ham, Mizraim, cush, canaan, phut, but great channel, and thanks for the explanation, i have learned something else

The Greatest Story never told - AFRICA!
Some historians now believe it was the Egyptians who were influenced by the Nubians as far as the building of pyramids.
That’s because they were the Egyptians.
I studied African History back in college and most historian academics agree Kushite Kingdom is an older civilization since mankind was birthed in the South of Africa. Egypt was a colony of Kush. But mainstream media, governments, and the educational system distort that history and say Egypt is older which makes no sense. It's the same way they they want you to believe that Christopher Columbus discovered North America.
It only makes sense. There are over 200 smaller Pyramids in Nubia. That's proof that the techniques were being developed and mastered in Nubia. Reaching their height in Egypt, with the construction of the Great Pyramids.
The Pyramids and sphinx were there under sand way before the Egyptians. We don't know who build them
@@GMAG416 Egypt is part of Africa.
There is a mention in Ramayana that Rama gave his younger son a far off landscape to rule and it was named after His son's name as kingdom of Kusha. As his name was Kush.
So informative thank you from a nubian zola 🇸🇩
I AM JAMAICAN. BELIEVE AND LOVE OUR HISTORY VIA GHANA. NIGERIA . ETC TO THE CARIBBEAN WE KNEW NOTHING OF AFRICAN HISTORY. HAPPY WE CAN LEARN THAT NOW NEVER TOO LATE.

So many people the world over have clue about this very important part of Egyptian history. Thank you once again for continuing to educate us all. 👏👏👏👏
He got Amanishakheto and her predessor Queen Amanirenas mixed u. It was queen amanirenas who cut the head off the statue and buried it under the temple and went to war with Rome.
The cool thing is archeologists found the head under the steps of the ruined temple!
You go Africa! I love watching how Africans have stood still over centuries trying to conquer it!
i just hate that the african's is lettin china and the white man come there and take over their land and their natural resources
We are still standing despite the deceitfulness of imported cultures
Why cant we have films about this!!
Exactly, I would love to see films based on King Piye and why he believed that Amen or Amun have summoned him to conquer Lower Kemet (Egypt) and to overthrew the heathen Libyans and to restore Nile Valley culture, and King Taharqa who saved the city of Jerusalem from being destroyed by the Neo-Assyrian Empire or Queen Amanirenas who fought off the Romans in a war that lasted for fives years and made Kush from being exempt for having to pay tribute to Rome, so many interesting real historical stories that needs to be told that would make epic historical films and that needs to be told in the big screen!
This is absolutely AWESOME. I have to subscribe.
Haha I'm from South Sudan and my name is Tut, I'm from the Nuer tribe.

Nope. We have many Old Kingdom sculptures which resemble very closely the current population of Egypt (especially Copts). Nubians are not Egyptians.

Hey tut, the dinka and nuer are originally people who came from North sudan, there is an island in Khartoum called tuti Island I herd thats where the dinka and nuer had a disagreement. But unfortunately many south sudanese don't know their home land was originally north sudan.

I'm sorry, but I have noticed 2 inaccuracies in this video. 1. The Kushites had their own writing, but we have been unable to translate their writings. It is for this reason we rely on Egyptian records to know more about Nubians, not because they did not write. 2. The wealthy Greeks sent their children to Egypt to study philosophy of which Plato and Socrates were amongst those sent to Egypt who then weny back to their nations to make their names from what they learnt in Egypt. Wealthy Greeks also preferred and were able to afford to use Egyptian doctors, as they were better than those in Greece. I hope this helps. Peace and love
makes me want to do some independent studying of our history. It brings context even to the Biblical account of Moses marrying a Cushite woman and how Moses' siblings did not approve of her.
Yes! We have beautiful history and you definitely should do your own independent research of our history. The Kushite civilization, The Egyptian civilization, The Aksumite Empire, The Great Zimbabwe ruins, the medieval Ethiopian Castles of Gondor, the rock cut out churches of Lalibela, one of the oldest universities in the world called Timbuktu, Mansa Musa- the richest king to ever live, The Moors, The nok culture, the Ashanti tribe, the Ife sculptures, The Benin bronzes and soo much more.
Yes please do your own research. They will always only tell us a bit of the truth with a lot of lies sprinkled in...
Cushite were a to them.
Kushites were literate way before the creation of Merotic script in 800 bce. How do we know this? During the reign of Kamose I and the battle with the Hyksos king Apophis ..Kamose's men were able to intercept a letter from Apophis to a Kushite king asking for alliance against Egypt and offering to split Egypt between the two. This is well documented in the Kamose inscription where he laments between between the Nehusu and the northern usurpers. This likely means the Kushite royalty were fluent in Demotic script.
Indeed they used the Egyptian Hyroglphics at first i believe.
It was Kemet for 4000 years . Didn't become Egypt till 332BC . Thats why there is no such thing as an Ancient Greek Pharaoh . The Ancients never called themselves Egyptians . Thats a Greek word. As far back as Narmer it was Kushite and Nubian rule . Nubians go back to the very beginning .
These fools are trying to Re-Write Kamit's History.

Great documentary. The first Nubian civilisations were Kerma and Sai, with Kerma later swallowing all of Sai and forming a kingdom spanning almost half of modern day Sudan. These events happened between 3000 and 2000 BC. Unfortunately, most of their scriptures were lost to time.

Love this ❤️ proud South Sudanese 🇸🇸
Interestingly enough, this isn't the first video I've watched and learned about Nubia. The Kings and Generals version was the first one I've watched about the Nubians. Thus, giving a great insight into their culture, history, society and religion.
Fun fact: They adopted the Christian faith of the Eastern Roman Empire, and had relations with the Islamic world.
Jacob(the patriarch of ALL Israelites) was a descendant of Cush(the father of the Cushites and Nubians).
This means the original Israelites from the bible are in fact Nubian Sudanese. They even date back to the time the Nubians ruled over Greater Egypt(which included modern day Israel and Palestine).
Abraham was himself, also a Cushite. So was Moses(AmenMesse from ancient Egyptian sources).
Thank you so much for not whitewashing this beautiful history
It would've been nice if ancient cultures in Africa developed more writing. Since nothing is written down it really makes it difficult to learn about. Spoken history is insanely hard to follow since it changes so much from person to person. Makes learning stories from native Americans difficult as well. I've heard 37 different versions of the same legends lol.
They had writing's the European destroyed them all
@@danrichard9082 more of they are the real egyptians but they been separated by Europeans
Video is interesting but there are a few misleading informations ℹ.
1. Actually Egypt was born from Nubia. King Narmer is the one who united the country and the first to bear the Shekmet Crown symbolizing lower and upper Sety (Ta-Sety and Ta-Mery that would latter be called Egypt)
2. There is a confusion between Queen Amanirenas (who was blind in one eye) and Amanishaketo. They bought fought the Romans but the one you referred to was the second.
3. The real name of pharaoh were nesou and means "he who comes from the South", so it's no surprise that they shared the same beliefs and both built pyramids. Kush and Egypt are part of the same culture.
Narmer was egyptian, not nubian
