Hello from the heart of ancient Nubia, proudly from the city of Meroe it self. A true ethnic Nubian from the Mahas tribe which is one the the original native tribes in the region, a true descendant of the Nubians and one of few that still speaks the ancient Nubian languages still in existence. 🙂

Matamba, you're very right. Ancient Egyptians always recognized Ta-seti/Nubi region as their ancestral homeland, even their God Amun was believed to have come from the south. Their old kingdom was distinctly of southern Nubian region. This was confirm by the British Egyptologist Sir W.F. Petrie1930s. Later, Dr. Toby Wilkinson of Cambridge University hinted in his book: The Early Dynastic Egypt, 1999. Dr. Wilkinson even put a photo of Pharaoh Narmer/Menes on the book cover to signify his thesis that early dynastic egypt originated from south.

Much of this is in the bible in Old Testament, Sudan was called the Land of Cush. Cush was the offspring of Ham which was one of the sons of Noah after the flood. This is also reference in the Book of Jasher which is referenced in the bible. If you read the book of Jasher it goes in depth about the Sons of Noah where they're offspring spread out in Europe, Asia , North Africa, etc & named their cities after their names. Mindblowing.

Why did the Nubians welcome them if they were permanent enemies? all of this in the north, east, and west of Egypt, without the enemies reaching Nubia . Also, Taharqa fought the nine bows and all the kings of Meroe. So, how can the Nubians be from the nine bows. The hieroglyphic and Meroitic language, which is derived from it, were used in Nubia. The tour guide and Egyptian historian, Bassam Al-Shamaa, said that the only ones who possess the genes of the original kings are the Nubians. Egyptian Dr. Wassim Al-Sisi said, in a program produced by the Ministry of Antiquities, that the Nubians had Egyptian genes, and the police leader was always Nubian, and Queen Tiey was Nubian. Another program on CBC said that the Nubian Arrows team was a protection squad for the Kings, temples and royal tombs. Modern Egyptologists admitted that this was fraud and racism, and that the captives were the Niltuk Dinka Shilluk, a non-Nubian countries ❤♥️🎉🎊😍🥰

Please note that the article/video about Ancient Nubia is not from History and Headlines, but from "History with Cy."

there is a saying from West Africa ''I build my house on the heads of my enemies'' this is literal sometimes thru history but it is also a philosophy of how we deal with challenges. exchange the word 'enemy'' with ''ancestor'' also a literal practice in many cultures but also as Griotes of Mali sing the praises of ancestors' struggles, they give us courage to face contemporary challenges. we may learn to love & appreciate our enemies for their stimulus to progress toward peace & harmony among Peoples. this is very respectable history video, as most You Tube 'historians' are rarely that. 90% still refuse to use BCE in terminology & reduce their tales to ethnocentric myths of superiority. great job Cy.

​@@kingwassetthetruth8160 Latin is rooted through Etruscan language, which is itself a completely distinct Indo-European language rooted from Gallic language. Latin does however, borrow Greek grammar and characters, as the Etruscans had also borrowed greek letters on their own. Both of Latins root languages are Indo-European Languages as goes with the Hittites, but is distinct, having come from the isolated northern Italian group (Egyptian is Coptic). The connection you've inferred from Latin nobilis to Egyptian nob arent even similar in meaning. That however doesn't mean it isn't connected somehow. The Greeks had entirely different words for Noble and Gold, so clearly that's not the connection. But, the Phoenicians (Greek peers and Latin influences) are right on Egypt's doorstep and historically had a huge influence on much of the Mediterranean in Romes formative years. But it's also just as easy to say nobilis is Gallic. Ontop of that; If the Greeks borrow Egyptian words, why do the Greeks call dang near everything in Kemet (Egypt) a different name? For instance, Hierakonpolis is the Greek name for that city, not it's actual name. The Greeks called the land Egyptos, not Kemet. Clear distinctions here and you can easily infer that the Greeks did not take much language inspiration from the Egyptians. Now to address your borrowing claim. The archeological record shows the ancient greek culture was influenced by (if not stole and modified) the Minoan culture. Who are themselves a culture group, that migrated from Anatolia. The Anatolians, who themselves learned from the Mesopotamian cultures. The archeological record in Egypt (some of the earliest in the Fairyum lake valley) show also that early Egyptians learned their settlement tech. from Syria (who learned it from the Mesopotamians). Based upon those cultures artifacts and goods also found at the site. Your assertions are not at all based in record evidence. The take away here is that the whole of civilization in the west and middle-east learned it from the Sumerian culture. Language and religion (sometimes) being the only unique thing between those various civilizations, given that all their knowledge and religion has common origin or inspiration. TLDR: Who cares. They're all the bloody same or slight variations of the same. Lets talk Cy into making a video on the Empires of Ghana and Mali. There's so much excellent and unique history and culture in Africa, that to argue about what pretty much identical middle-east civilization did what first is pointless.

The Nubians appear to have been matrilineal, since it was brothers in the line of succession rather than sons. This meant that their nobility was passed down through their mother, even though political authority was still usually wielded by men. After they ran out of brothers, succession would then pass on to the sons of their sisters. This is still the case today in much of West Africa, for example, and is often accompanied by a kind of polygamy where a man accrues wives as a kind of labor contract. (Women in such societies are often major economic producers, as seen by how women dominate the running of markets in West Africa.) Very different from the polygamy practiced in, say, Saudi Arabia. Or by the ancient nomadic peoples of the Levant described in the Bible. This explains why the Nubians would've been far more comfortable with female rulers than their neighbors to the north and east.

The modern Nubian ladies far difference between western African women they worked without any role but the Nubian culture the woman like queen his just to care about his families ،، This work must be consistent with its biological nature and coordination between raising children and caring for the husband. As for our time, things differed somewhat, but customs and traditions are still firmly established like mountains.

The ancient Nubians did not have the problem of who ruled, and the kingdom of Kush was ruled by this man and woman before 5 thousand years BC This is not strange for them because they are originally kings to differentiate between men and women in their rule in this historical period ،،،Think about your perception that appears to be incorrect compared to historical facts

The Assyrians were ruthless and were advanced in metallurgy, siege tactics and were known to utilise far bigger and durable chariots which required more horses. Also, the Assyrians were amongst the first civilisation to utilise a professional army which consisted of professional soldiers who were merely trained for one purpose: killing. Unlike many other civilisations where they just enlisted average joes, likely farmers who never seen the visualisation of war nor possessed any combat experience. The only civilisation that came close to rivalling the Assyrians in that timeline would be the Nubians since the Nubians were known to possess the best archers in the Ancient world alongside were revered for producing iron, manufacturing iron tools and weapons. Many civilisations in this timeline did not know how to produce adequate iron compared to the Assyrians and Nubians. Iron during this period was the equivalent to the vibranium or adamantium of its time, shattering enemies' bronze swords and slicing enemies with ease. The Egyptians, unlike the Nubians, did not know to produce iron.

I heard something different that Rome just“left”. The Kush had amassed a large army and Rome stop it advancements and turn back. In the peace treaty kush did not have to pay tribute/taxes to Rome and Rome agreed to stay out of kush. The queen sent an envoy with a message to Rome with a bundle of golden arrows. The message read if Rome wanted peace consider the arrows as peace offering but if Rome wanted to continue the war they should keep arrows for they will need them.

I am Akram from Sudan .. Especially from the land of the kingdoms in northern Sudan, Kerma, I have the honor to respond to your wonderful comments The Kingdom of Taciti (Kingdom of the Land of the Arc) arose before the First Kingdom of Kush, and its capital was Qustul. Archaeologists Keith Sealy and Bruce Williams got acquainted with the Kingdom of Tacit. Keith Sealy carried out a rapid excavation at the Qastal site in 1962 in the campaign to save the monuments of Nubia before it was submerged by the waters of the High Dam. He published his report in 1974, in which he stated that the Qustul tombs, which were symbolized by the letter “L”, of Sudanese princes or kings lived before the era of the beginning of the Egyptian dynasties in the thirty-second century BC.Keith Sealy died before publishing the end of his reports on his excavations in Qustal. So Bruce Williams studied the remnants of the cemetery “L” and published his report in 1980 in which he described the cemetery’s tombs and their contents. It was mentioned that most of the tombs consist of rooms ranging between 34 and 4 square meters. It turned out that the tombs had been opened before and their contents were looted, but many pottery and stone tools remained.

Despite the clear rivalery between these two ancient cultures, it is still fascinating to see how much they influenced each other. One would immagine that Egypt was the one with upper hand, but in reality, the Nubians influenced the Egyptians just as much as the Egyptians influenced them. One only has to look at the domestic Egyptian deity Bes, the dwarf enemy of evil spirits. This deity was not of egyptian origin, but in fact originated from many other dwarf spirit guardians whose origin was in the lower lands closer to central Africa. And it comes without question, that the Nubians were responsible for bringing this deity to Egypt, since they did have a pantheon in common with the Egyptians. Btw. The Hiksos were fascinating. Especialy in the religious aspect. Under their rule, the god Baal Seth came to be, a god of storms and power. And the goddess Neith appeared as his wife, a goddess of beauty and war. Just like Baal Hadad and one of his wifes, the war goddess Anat.

Yeah, they interacted with each other so much that they were bound to have so many similarities. That's why I believe that when the Kushites ruled over Egypt, they were not really seen as foreigners because the two peoples had so much shared history and in many ways developed together. I feel that the reason we don't really learn much about Kush is because of the proximity of Egypt to both Europe and the Mid East... there was a lot of cool stuff and culture in the lands south of 1st/2nd cataracts of the Nile that just wasn't known about and hence, never made it into most of our history books. Hope that changes!
