"A few years ago, there was talk of the discovery of Egyptian objects far away in the heart of the continent. A statuette of Osiris (Ausar), dating from the seventh century before our era, was found in Zaire (Democratic Republic of Congo) on the banks of the river Lualaba, near the confluence of the Kalmengongo; a statue inscribed with the cartouche of Thutmose III was found south of the Zambezi." -Hamid Zayed (General History Of Africa II)

Yes ❤
From all the evidence in terms of the myrr and franchise, baboons and murials all point to region between Eriteria, Djibouti and northern Somalia, which makes sense, genetic evidence also points to it, E-M123 and subclades of E-V12 is native to the horn.

In Yoruba IFA there is a core idea of truth and justice being a divine instruction. A Yoruba proverb sums this idea up. "The truth is lord of heaven guiding the earth" found in the Odus of IFA , Odu Osa Iwori🌍❤.

You take away all the white images and the Roman literature in the Bible start at the very beginning use the African language you will see all blacks come from extraterrestrials, in the revelations it’s black extraterrestrials coming for war
Dr. Danita Smith, thankyou for your wisdom. I am Agikuyu and a significant aspect of generational councils that governed in the land were the adornment of thumbi headdresses that were made with the finest of ostrich feathers. It was a mark of council authority and it reminds me of the feather of Ma'at and the principles embodied by the ostrich that inspired justice and wisdom. Listening to this video made me really appreciate the grounding of spirituality. I wanted to ask, are you familiar with the story of King Neferkare and General Sasenet? I stumbled on it a while back in the process of learning about King Shabaka Neferkare and Memphite Theology of which you've also spoken about extensively. I find it significant how this story of a King and a General might be one of the few positive or at least neutral presentation of same sex activity (as compared to the contendings of Horus and Seth, of course). I also find it cool how the amduat and the descent of Ra into the world of Auser with the conspicuous line "his majesty went into Sasenet's house and did to him what his majesty desired", if the translation is accurate, only adds to the whole story. It plays with several themes, I think, with one being the gray area of power imbalance. Its a fascinating tale to me and maybe you could talk about its historicity as well as the significance of Shabaka having taken on the name Neferkare knowing full well this was a King whose reign almost directly precedes the first intermediate period and the collapse of the two lands.
Good morning, I was introduced to the bible, in the beginning, from a worship point of view. As got older and fell a few times, then returned to "church", I returned to that "worship", way of allowing the pastor to read for me/us and not truly reading to understand. When I begun this study, I knew I was going to be alone. The bible is a collection of trials and triumphs that a matriarch rt patriarch begun and instructed their children, grand children etc. to continue throughout to show the difference between wisdom of spiritual guidance and flesh of man. The journey of a people in and out of relationship with their spiritual guide. The story of Adam and EVE naked ness does not represent being unclothed. It represents a people realizing what an other people or neighboring countries or civilization had and they had not. They were unsatisfied with where they were when they were taunted. It's like if you told you children to not converse with the people of a certain house because you are aware of how they attained their living. But one day a child from that house gets your child's attention and shows off a "new shiny something" making your child feel inferior now questioning his/her contentment. Your child comes home questioning why he or she isn't allowed whatever, whoever, whenever, however, etc. Revealing their nakedness in comparison to what another family has no aware of how that lifestyle was attained. You question your child and the truth comes out that they stopped at the "house".
Talk about the hairstyle of those Egyptian soldiers and how that Exact Same Hairstyle is STILL worn in 🌍 Africa today.
Egypt sudan will bring confusion is in 1899 when the British divide the land into two they call lower kemet Egypt and upper kemet sudan pheros are just different tribe with nubian but thasame land.
Pardon, professor, as we learnt even from you, Kemet were descended from Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania, and they established Upper Kemet and Lower Kemet and Nubians established Upper Nubia and Lower Nubia in north Sudan and south Egypt.
Bias already practiced, when they broken the noses of the Kemet and Nubia status.
Breaching status noses is clear bias. Seems Ahmose was a revolutionary man. Anyhow, he was a great hero.
Curriculum! Exactly. School taxes personal property taxes! "Demand Better"! 💯
You are underrated and i absolutely love the "out if the box" thinking. Something's are common sense like Columbus not discovering America if people were already there
Yes!
Baklava, which i thought was a greek dish, is not a greek dish but is a Iranian/ persian dish. There is only one way to learn a recipe if you don't have Google.
You have to do your own research, I think it's incumbent upon us to take the responsibility to do that or else we rely on others for important pieces of our self-worth and identity. THANK YOU FOR COMMENTING :)
The greeks and romans were city-states. They were not unified in there early days
Js have destroyed all other cultures history images, books, statues and trails that lead to the past. They know…
26:30 This was a long standing riddle that puzzled egyptologists for decades. It actually is written as Great is a great one who's great ones are great. Seems like Merikare would vote for Trump and tell him to secure the border by building that wall😅
I don't think so...that being known for love and kindness was a far greater theme in the writing :)
I have strong intention to be a member
thank you :)
Strongly, I agree with you, that why still now I do increase my vocabulary in different fields, that will help me be good writer and speaker. And that's important.
Yes, increasing and studying time periods and chronology as well as vocabulary helps a great deal with many subjects....smart choice! :)
Whether you decide to do so or not, I appreciate the consideration :)
Rights of passage programs can also be effective. It's time we rethink them at a community and at a local level
Its also disrespectful not to live your culture studying it is not enough.

You brought up so many wonderful points first when it comes to African literature we don’t see a lot . I was always taught that Africans didn’t have philosophy. So growing up I learned and read the Iliad ,odyssey, the art of war , Plato’s republic. ..It wasn’t until after college when I started to unlearn and reeducate my self to learn African philosophy. And what I really learned is a lot and I mean a lot of western culture ,philosophy comes from African philosophy but sadly never mentioned or talked about . Now that I truly have a better grasp of ancient Egyptian knowledge I see it every where and in many things from architecture , art , spirituality, movies , science medicine on and on . For centuries there have been many that don’t what the true info to get out . Thanks to wonderful persons such as your self the knowledge is starting to become available to those that are interested
@@Maatson_ that's true and we have to keep spreading the knowledge all over the continent and the globe 🌎

How do we raise children in this day and age...and communicate our wisdom and heritage to generation-after-generation?
In my opinion there are 5 areas that a parent should make sure they instruct their child in (because they can make or break them): spirituality and their relationship with God, education, family and relationships, finance and health.
The picture of the army soldiers look to me like they’re dancing. I’m thinking that the soldiers could have been doing a war dance, so maybe such ceremonial or ritualistic dancing might be done with no shoes on.
thank you for sharing your amazing research & heart with us.

During my visit to Egypt last year, our guide explained that the Merneptah's stela proves Isreal existed, but later said the words in Medw spelled "Israr".. and the name Isreal had not been "achieved" yet. So I asked how does his prove that it was Isreal? He cited "because all the Egyptologists came together to "make it so!"
Brothers, Sisters - Priority must be given to protecting ancient African historical artefacts! Have read where foreign archaeologists attempted to get near the Ark of the Covenant in Ethiopia! It appears that there are more non-African archaelogists and scientists exploring ancient African historical artefacts than Black African archaelogists and scientists! There is an obsession by non-Africans to explore Africa and write their own narrative about our history! Africans and the Diaspora must prioritize the ownership and control of the stories/narrative about our great African civilizations, our traditions, our culture, etc.! Note, there are ancient African historical artefacts that were destroyed or stolen and ancient African civilizations that were completely destroyed - written text on animal skins, utensils, etc. etc.!
Definitely, the Ishango and Lebombo bones highlight that Black ancient civilizations indeed had a advanced concept of mathematics and used mathematics in everyday life! African children and the children of the Diaspora must be taught throughout independent Black-owned schools just how great their ancestors were! Critically important that the Ishango and Lebombo bone along with other African historical artefacts reside in African museums! But, many of the African historical artefacts have been confiscated and reside in non-African countries! Priority must be given to ensuring that African historical artefacts remain in Africa and that more Black archaelogists, geologists, scientists, etc. begin to explore ancient African civilizations and that African children and the children of the Diaspora be taught troughout independent Black-owned schools just how great their ancestors were! Further, there should be billboards throughout African countries and ongoing television and radio commercials highlighting just how great the ancestors were and the ancestor's contributions to mathematics, science, construction, etc. etc.!
I think much Egyptian iconography is propaganda. Like American news.
😊 💯 much ❤ Raspect!
It should be"Before Kmt!" Afrika never created a nation named egypt, which is a foreign (greek) name and word! Afrikan stories and narratives should be told using Afrika's reality, not someone elses! Afrika's names, words matter! Asante.
Imagine if white ppl proudly talked about their colonizing ancestors this way….oh the uproar
Nubian Allah loves us our history is going on and on everyday in the internet ❤🎉❤
Their religion is almost the same as Nigerian IFA. The idea of Balance and having good character are central in IFA. , Balancing water, fire, air, earth. These elements are manifested in the divine beings or energies, the orishas, which are different aspects of Olodumare, the supreme creator. The Yoruba of Nigeria are some of the people who were present in the Nile Valley, migrating there during the Green Sahara, 6,000 - 11,000 years ago. 🌍The orisha Eshu is like Shu a supporter of the creator Olodumare🌍

Now, if you go back and read the Quran and the Bible, you will notice where that knowledge comes from! No disrespect intended
The stele was reported to have been mistranslated. It doesn't say Israel, it says, Jezreel. The town of Jezreel is mentioned in other historical documents, in the very same area.
Analyzing documents for yourself is a better way of discovering history, rather than watching a television show that asks questions, but never walks through the document that they know exists
The stars are the people these ancient texts are referring to! It's all astrology mythology! How I recognize it is the meanings of names. Theophic names 👍🏿 I mean no disrespect is not referring to people or what's going on in Earth it's all astrology and what's going on above
Excellent video Dr. Smith, I'm grateful. I'd like to second the comment of Mentuhotep II and the expedition to Chad. I've read an artile linked below that talks about how the expedition is massively impactful on the amduat. In particular I find this passage from the article interesting “Re gains access to the underworld through the ‘western portico (arry.t) of the horizon,’ a passageway of 1,260 km,” a pretty exact number for a mystical place. “If this number has any factual basis, it could be seen as the distance between the oasis of Dakhlah [the start of the trail] and the northern shore of Lake Bodele,” writes Schneider. I find it interesting because of the green sahara theory and that majority of Africans during the time lived around the Chad megalake. Was he amduat a memory of a past time?
I agree with you about the Merneptah Stele. The reference to Israel on the stele mentions the conquering of a place, and perhaps the people inhabiting that place, but with no other qualifying facts. The stele says nothing, and implies nothing, that the people inhabiting Israel are a repatriated group who had been held as slaves in Kemet. No evidence has been found to verify 'the Exodus.' Zero. But, it's a whopper of a story. And I appreciate you telling the whole story of the Merneptah Stele...where the evidence is literally written in stone..
