blackpeopleconfessions:

Forgive me if this was rough. I’ve emerged myself in research on this all week and it’s correct to the best of my knowledge. Feel free to mindfully discover more sources to further support and explore the topic. I say mindful because you’ll definitely find twisted truths and lies meant to cover this up…



This is a response to a confession that said that Black people should stop trying to claim Ancient Egypt because it’s not ours to claim. I found that confession very timely for I’m actually writing a story with Ancient Egyptian elements and needed to do some research.

And I strongly object to the lie that Ancient Egypt wasn’t ours. Now Blacks who were enslaved in America and elsewhere likely aren’t direct descendants of AE’s, but Ancient Egypt was in fact a nation of Blacks.

Now, before actually delving into research, my understanding was this: the ancient egyptians were arabs. Perhaps there were some African peasants, but mainly I believed, along with many others, that Egypt was not black or black-ruled.

Come some news I stumble across about Cleopatra’s younger sister, Arsinoe IV, I learn that according to studies of her skull and reproductions, she had the features of a Greek (her father) and African American (her mother). This arises the question; was Cleopatra herself also Black/Biracial? If anything, she definitely has Greek in her, but just as her sister, her mother is “unknown” as well. Sounds convenient, these unknown mothers… but really Cleopatra is just a small part of what was definitely a nation of brown and black rulers.

“The ancient Egyptians called themselves Kam or Kam-Au (Black people/ Black God-people), and their country Kamit (or Khemit), both meaning land of the Blacks and the Black Land. The word Egypt is derived from the Greek word Aigyptos (or Aiguptos).

Europe’s first historian Herodotus said, “the Egyptians, Colchians, and Ethiopians have thick lips, and broad nose, woolly hair and they are of burnt skin.”

Egyptian civilization evolved from the Ethiopians. The Bible equates Ham (Africans) with Egypt. (Ps. 78:51; 105:23, 27; 106:21, 22)”

Let me also note that ten Greek and Roman scholars wrote that the Ancient Egyptians were Black. Among these scholars is Aristotle and Plato. These writings, which noted that the Egyptians were Black people, were outlawed.



Now, there was an conquest that mixed things up a little. The Ancient Egyptians were dominated by persians, assyrians, asiatics…thus the roman-greco era. Now we’ve got these Asiatic groups labelling themselves Egyptians while the original egyptians (Blacks) migrate south to Nubia and Ethopia.

People like to say the Nubians were Black and the Ancient Egyptians were Greek/Arab/White. Actually, the Nubians, who were typically darker-skinned than the Egyptians but not any “Blacker” than the Egyptians, also had a mixing of brown shades. The AE also have art depictions in which they draw themselves, Nubians, and these Asiatic groups and it’s labelled who they are and who “the other” is. In the pictures, The Asiatics and conquering groups are white/light/tan while the Egyptians themselves range in tones of brown and black. I don’t have the pic with the English labeling but this may help get an image?



Now upon the Asiatic groups conquering Ancient Egypt, said Asiatic people obviously became dominant. The Black population diminished then, as mentioned, due to migrating etc. But before and during then even, there was definitely some intermarriage and mixing, which accounts for the LATER lighter depictions of the Egyptians. Eventually the Romans came and ruled (70 BC) as well, but basically Ancient Egypt only became known as “white” according to supposed “history” come the end of the 19th century.



Why? Because Europeans, upon taking in this magnificent legacy the Ancient Egyptians left, were not about to let “inferior” Africans get the credit for this. White supremacy dictates that Blacks are not capable of excellence and Ancient Egypt’s legacy was a direct threat to this notion (and still is, based on how fervently people still fight against this with outright refusals and pseudoscience, claiming it is 100% impossible for Black People to be Ancient Egyptians despite evidence that says yeah, they are).

Therefore, the Europeans decided the Ancient Egyptians were to be “Dark-Skinned” and “Tanned” whites. Yes, TAN whites with broad lips, wider noses, dreads, “wooly” and braided hair.

Okay…let’s try that out with modern people.

Look at that tan skin, broad lipped White man right here..

My my, look at Princess Kemit (name meaning Black Lady). With her straight un-wooly hair, pale skin and blue eyes. Obviously White, like her servants. Oh wait..

But that’s really just the start. All you have to do is google and youtube black Ancient Egyptian. But beware: there’s the authentic drawings and figures and then there’s Europe’s whitewashed depictions and false history. Aka what they drew and redrew, made movies and documentaries of, and put in their text books.



Since there were basically no evidence for these claims of the Anicent Egyptians being “White” (there’s really just the depictions from when the Asiatic people integrated, then dominated and conquered AE, doing their own art and claiming Egypt as theirs. Though even they aren’t “White”), Whites had to make their own Egypt. To do this, they outlawed the writings that told the truth about these “wooly hair and burnt skin” Ancient Egyptians aka Black people. They then wrote their own books + created new art and portraits of, you guessed it, “exotic” WHITE Egyptians.



As a scholar describes: “Whites manufactured their own history. They made their own image library since there were no real images.”

So basically, they hide 90% of the truth then exploited and revised the 10% that was passable for their needs. On a funny note, recently explorers found a statue of what is clearly a black man in a tomb. The scholars argued “Define Black…” and went on to argue that it was probably a dark-skinned Caucasian. Okay… well find me one of those. I’d like to meet him.



Honestly, the truest media depiction I’ve ever seen of the Ancient Egyptians, aka, Black people, is Michael Jackson’s “Remember the Time” video. Seeing as such realistic depictions are flat-bottom rare, this is really really sad.

But even beyond AE, there have always been great Black empires long before Egypt. But these are the things no school and few scholars want us to know.
