Nubia: The Forgotten Empire - African Empires Ep. 2

Nubia lasted over a period of 2750 years. To put that in perspective, it was 600 years from the beginning of the Roman Republic to the fall of the Western Roman Empire. They grew with the Ancient Egyptians, and their last native kingdom fell 200 years after Rome did. This is one of the longest lasting cultures in history, and yet few people know about it. The Nubians were doomed to be forgotten, washed away in the sands of time.

    Ancient Egypt grew from the south not the North! Pre-kerma and Kerma sites are contemporary with predynastic and the old kingdom. Pan-graves, A-group, C-group, Khartoum mesolithic, Gash group, Jebel Mokram,...all these cultures crossed and overlaped from the beginning! Egypt is a bonafide african kingdom just like Nubia.

    Plus Punt, which is south of Nubia, is very similar culturally and linguisticly to Egypt. Even the Egyptians believed they were related to them. And may have even been decended from them. So yes, Egyptian civilization came from the south.

    First of all, there was nothing forgotten about Sudanese kingdoms on the Nile. Forgotten by who? The Bible has references to Kush because there was no place called "Nubia" in ancient times. The Bible also has references to the Queen of Sheba as an black African Queen as well, which also is a reference to North East Africa and Arabia. In ancient times the term for Africa was Ethiopia and you have references to Ethiopia in the works of the Persians, Greeks, Romans and others talked of the various groups on the Upper Nile during their time. So who forgot about these people? Also, there was no place called "Egypt" either because that is the Greek term not the native term. The native term was "Kemet", meaning the black nation, black country or black place. So obviously the ancient people of the dynastic era did not see "black" as a foreign concept.

    This is wrong. Nubia is the name of the region that is the northern Nile Valley. Nubia was never a name of a kingdom or Empire. The modern people of northern Sudan and southern Egypt termed 'Nubians' by Westners are descendants of people of Ta-Seti, Upper Egypt, Kerma, Naqata etc. There was never a kingdom called Nubia. Just as there was never a State or Kingdom called West or Caribbean. Lastly, the people of Nubia were the same as the population of Upper Egypt and Northern Sudan / Ta Seti / Kerma.

    I don't know where you are getting this information from. The people of Egypt and Nubia were not the same and were both a mix of different cultures and they both developed along different lines. Also while they never referred to themselves as Nubians, that is the term they are known by today. So for reference that is how I refer to them. Also, I mention the kingdoms of Kerma, etc. in the video. You clearly did not watch it before making this comment.

Nubia was a region that included southern Egypt (ancient and modern Egypt) and Northern Sudan. There were various Kingdoms in Nubia. The earliest civilisation of that region is Nabta Playa extending to south east Libya. It evidences the earliest domestication of cattle, the pharounic culture later practiced in Ta Seti evolving into Egypt and Kush. Other kingdoms of Nubia are Ta Seti, Naqata, Kush etc

    Good video but your audio is really letting it down. First and most importantly, never play music with lyrics while you're narrating! It clashes and makes your narration even more difficult to follow. It probably would have been best to play a short instrumental clip in the beginning of the video and then faded out and go to straight narration. The next most important thing would be to get a proper microphone with a pop filter and find a better location to record in. It doesn't have to be fancy, your closet or your car would make an enormous difference. You should try to keep your mouth as close to the microphone as possible, also use a high pass filter or at least roll off some of the low end on the microphone so it doesn't sound muffled. Finally you really need to be more aware of the volume and length of your sound effects. Your voice should be louder than everything else. Also you should probably trim that sword clash sound effect, it only needs to be about half as long. It doesn't have to be Dan Carlin level of quality, but clearer and more intelligible narration would transform the quality of your videos. Please don't take this as an insult, I respect the hard work you put into these. I'm genuinely trying to help you make your videos better.

    The original Nubia is the one that lies in southern Egypt only within the borders of Egypt, not the villages of northern Sudan, newly established, which they called Nuba at a time close to only 300 years Likewise, the Lower Nuba did not exist for only 500 years The original Nuba that have temples is a very small area, and as I told you it is a very small part of Egypt and it is not a single kingdom as you envision it. The original Nuba is affiliated with the Egyptians, Kumit, not Kushin, and I want to know why you are trying to inflate the size of the pyramids of Sudan with graphics programs, which are in fact very, very, very small. And the pyramids of Sudan were all built in the era of the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty, after Torhka admired the gigantic and ancient pyramids of Egypt and decided to build the pyramids of Sudan, the last of the Pharaonic eras. The pyramids of Sudan are all constructed in a non-scientific way, without the texts of the pyramids, and without burial chambers, which are just a blind tradition of the pyramids of Egypt. And did not talk about how the end of the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty was Torhka and Shabaki All the members of the twenty-fifth family were killed at the hands of Pharaoh Basmatic, founder of the twenty-sixth family, and Sudan was completely occupied by Basmatic, and Sudan was restored as it was by slaves of the ancient Egyptians Disciplining the slaves for their judgment The ancient Egyptian masters Why do you cut up a small part of history and try to hide the rest Kemet is the one who ruled Kush Sudan and ancient Ethiopia 3000 thousand years not the opposite
