Rossikki: Stop being a pawn in the hands of white racists trying to steal your history. Tutunkhamun was a black man. Those pics you posted depict a black man. The original life size statue I posted of him showing his full black skin tone was found in his tomb in a 1922 excavation and has nothing to do with "akata". There is no such race as "brown skinned race". If you meant he was Arab, or Greek, you're wrong. The African name Tutunkhamun is clearly not a name that can be even remotely associated with any of those peoples. There are images of his grandmother Queen Tiye and his dad Pharaoh Akhenaton, and they are very much black African people. Learn more here:

The ancient Egyptians looked like this, as seen on their own tomb wall renditions:

Not all "Egyptians" were Blacks anyway...most of the Nile delta were light-Brown skinned typical Mediterraneans

Which superiority? Over whom?

Maybe you should direct your question to Lady Flora Lugard, wife of Lord Lugard, the first British Governor-General of Nigeria:

Lady Lugard was a qualified historian and academic:

(Excerpts)

Her book, A Tropical Dependency: An Outline of the Ancient History of the Western Sudan With an Account of the Modern Settlement of Northern Nigeria (1900), is an extraordinary look at the history of Africa, which she gathered from countless sources, and one would imagine a great deal of it came from the British Library and from the archives of The Times of London, for whom she had for many years been the Foreign Political Correspondent. She had always been known to be an intensive researcher into her subject matter, and one wonders at the months and probably years she put into this undertaking, which became the reference work for so many future books on Africa. This book was first published 100 years ago showing with detail and descriptive power, the greatness that Africa once was. Lady Lugard argues that:

"When the history of Negroland comes to be written in detail, it may be found that the kingdoms lying towards the eastern end of Sudan (classical home of Ancient Ethiopians) were the home of races who inspired, rather than of races who received, the tradition of civilization associated for us with the name of ancient Egypt. For they cover on either side of the Upper Nile between the latitudes of ten degrees and seventeen degrees, territories in which are found monuments more ancient than the oldest Egyptian monuments. If this should prove to be the case and civilized world be forced to recognize in a black people the fount of its original enlightenment, it may happen that we shall have to revise entirely our view of the black races, and regard those who now exist as the decadent representatives of an almost forgotten era, rather than as the embryonic possibility of an era yet to come."

"The fame of the ancient Ethiopians (ancient Kushites) was widespread in ancient history. Herodotus described them as the most beautiful and long-lived of the human races, and before Herodotus, Homer, in even more flattering language, described them as the most just of men, the favorites of the gods. The annals of all the great early nations of Asia Minor are full of them. The Mosaic records allude to them frequently; but while they are described as the most powerful, the most just, and the most beautiful of the human race, they are constantly spoken of as Black, and there seems to be no other conclusion to be drawn than that at that remote period of history, the leading race of the Western World was a Black race."

What happened to africa!!!
The same thing that will happen to Europe in future. Or America. No civilization remains on top forever. They reach a peak and then begin the inevitable decline. Human factors to do with complacency, greed, arrogance, infighting, etc always set in...plus even natural factors like environmental disasters and setbacks. In Africa for instance, the desertification of the once fertile and lush Sahara caused all sorts of problems for African civilization. It led to mass population dispersal, social upheaval, reduced soil fertility, fiercer competition for arable land and water leading to conflict, ethnic distrust, social fragmentation etc etc. The biggest threat to modern civilization today is nuclearization and environmental degradation. But just as soon as this civilization ends, another will emerge to replace it, however long it takes.

Precisely due to the evidence on ground that points to a mixed race civilization in Egypt

The Nothern Nile, stretching to the delta was inhabited by A Mediterranean featured people, similar to Berbers and Phoenicians

Dynastic Egyptians referred to their country as "The Two Lands". During the Predynastic period (about 4800 to 4300BC), the Merimde culture flourished in the northern part of Egypt (Lower Egypt). This culture, among others, has links to the Levant in the Middle East. The pottery of the later Buto Maadi culture, best known from the site at Maadi near Cairo, also shows connections to the southern Levant as well.

In the southern part of Egypt (Upper Egypt) the predynastic Badarian culture was followed by the Naqada culture. These people seem to be more closely related to the Nubians than with northern Egyptians.

We know how important the Nile river was to the ancient Egyptians, but it was the upper Egyptians that practised the annual flooding rituals as the nil flow from it's source in central Africa.

Narmer The unifier of Both countries was from Upper Egypt and a black man (obviously) but those he conquered were not black, his marriage to Neithotep, a princess from Lower Egypt, was no doubt political.


Burial rites in Upper Egypt was totally different from that of lower Egypt
:
Lower Egypt had no cemeteries, the dead were buried around their homes, unlike upper Egypt where the dead were given separate spaces and tombs to be buried in, wit their faces placed South, looking West.
Upper Egypt sacrificed people after the death of kings to assist them in the afterlife (like in many west african cultures), up until the innovative invention of Shabti at the beginning of the 2nd dynasty.

The art of Upper Egypt has been identified to be the same style wit that of Nubia, pyramids are more abundant in Nubia and upper Egypt .
The kings of upper Egypt had fan bearers as depicted on Scorpion Macehead, but nothing for lower Egypt.
Fan bearers are a typical cental/West African culture

The lower Egypt has a moderate Mediterranean climate like in Other areas assigned to The hamitic stock unlike the desert hot areas of upper Egypt.

What else to assume a different stock of people building a nation together??

I already mentioned (with proof) that women were depicted as lighter than men at some point as an artistic convention in Egypt. So stop posting images of light painted women to 'prove' your point. That translates to deception. Also, explain to us why there are NO documented accounts by visitors to Egypt supporting your claims. All the ancient visitors to Egypt, from Aristotle to Appolodorius, state clearly that the ancient Egyptians were black skinned. Why do you ignore their eyewitness testimonies and accounts? Is it because you are intellectually dishonest, with no interest in the truth? Also the tomb art as presented shows ONLY black skinned negroid people, confirming those eyewitness accounts, so one can only surmise that your "mixed" population emanates from your colonised imagination, from Hollywood, National Geographic channel, and from racist 19th century Egyptologists who could not bear to learn that they were civilised by black folks. Your theory directly contradicts the ancient record, and has zero support from that record. Kindly stop disseminating falsehoods. Again, the fact that of all the scores of documented visitors to Egypt, NOT ONE says "the blacks live in the south and the whites and yellows live in the north", instead, ALL stating that "the Egyptians are black skinned with wooly (ie kinky) hair", shows that what you are presenting to the contrary is cooked-up 'evidence'.

Err no. I told you that ''in Egypt, the artistic convention was to portray the women as lighter than men to denote their femininity''. A notable exception was during the Amarna period around the reign of Akhenaton.

Excerpt:

''The skin color of both male and female is generally dark brown (contrasted with the usual dark brown or red for males and light brown or white for females)...''

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amarna_art



You want to tell us that There's no cultural difference between Upper and lower Egypt?

How does cultural difference translate to racial difference? So if people buried their dead standing up in the north, and in the south people buried their dead lying down, it means northerners were white and southerners black? Is Igbo culture not significantly different from Hausa culture? Does that mean Igbos are green and Hausas are purple?

Show us now wit prove any identical feature from lower Egypt that fits wit cultures South of the Sahara and how they are different from Levant and Phoenicians

Here is an account by Herodotus of the cultural practises of the Egyptians. He makes NO distinction between the north and south as regards the practices, PLUS he makes it clear their practices are VERY DIFFERENT from those of the Levant and the Phoenicians, and Greeks, PLUS the practises, when you read them, are VERY CLEARLY practices still associated TODAY with Africa South of the Sahara in every respect.

Your link proves nothing, Herodotus was looking at Egypt from a foreigners view, mostly interested in it's geography and resources not cultural attitude of the different regions

A people get the leaders they deserve. It is the degeneration in the population that leads to them throwing up dodgy leaders. Until we go back to loving one another, loving our colour, our cultures, race, religion, and stop the self-hate, stop the love for anything foreign, stop the skin bleaching, stop the ill-effects of colonial miseducation and anti-African sentiments, we will never produce the type of leaders we had in the glorious past.

Your link proves nothing, Herodotus was looking at Egypt from a foreigners view, mostly interested in it's geography and resources not cultural attitude of the different regions
deep research has been done and many cultural differences between North and South, especially at the predynastic era have been realized..some of which I already stated

Lmao of all people on nairaland, Iam so far from a caucasian houseboy. But stop your disgusting lies
Oh return to sucking racist white nuts. That's what they sent you here to do. How much do they pay you to propagate their falsehoods? Did you ask them why they knocked off the noses from the Sphinx and other artefacts like I told you to? Will they whip your assss for asking such an 'insolent' question, slaveboy? I think we should leave forumers to read for themselves what Herodotus actually wrote, as you are a certified chronic liar and distorter, working on behalf of sinister elements.

Sent me here Are u high??
even deep down in ur conscience you know you are a damned liar.. You seem like one who reads alot into ancient Egypt, it's what you know but don't want to admit
Now prove your point as I asked you to, you keep calling me slave grin grin
When you see a slave's comment on nairaland you would know

As I said before am not in support of those who denial the heavy Negro presence in Egypt, likewise I detest people like u who's hatred has taken their sense of humility and sincerity

You are known to be a racist.

today it's Egypt tomorrow you would claim Hebrews were black...in fact you have done that before, am sure you still looking into it,
Am waiting for a thread from you claiming Abraham was a Negro grin

Rossikki: A people get the leaders they deserve. It is the degeneration in the population that leads to them throwing up dodgy leaders. Until we go back to loving one another, loving our colour, our cultures, race, religion, and stop the self-hate, stop the love for anything foreign, stop the skin bleaching, stop the ill-effects of colonial miseducation and anti-African sentiments, we will never produce the type of leaders we had in the glorious past. It all starts with us, because our leaders come from us, not from outer space.

But what of those kings that have been on the throne for decades?

They became kings when nigeria was far better country but they were part of the rot that destroyed the country.
