ANCIENT EGYPTIAN WORDS FOUND IN MODERN ENGLISH
The ancient egyptians once had an empire stretching over half of Africa and half of Europe. To maintain that empire they needed a large and well trained and well equiped army. They were the first nation in the world to have an empire and a millitary system.
The following are words from the ancient egyptian millitary system found in modern english language.
Soldier : Isho Ija : The guards for the battle
Commander : Ko ma ndari : leads and directs and carries fighters around
Millitia : Mi le ti a : Our own strong men
Millitary : Mi le ti a ri : Our own strong men that we see
Army : armi : spies

OP, the bible says and I quote:

"What shall it profit a man if he wakes up early in the morning to post jargons and nonsense."

Coming from a guy who calls himself the "computergenius", this is highly disappointing to say the least.

What you have there is not the language of the ancient Egyptians. On the contrary, it can best be described as the language of Kuvukiland. sad

The word, Soldier, for instance, comes from the Latin word "Solidus" which happened to be a sort of coin which Roman soldiers were often payed their wages in...

So, how did you come by "Iso Ija" or whatever that nonsense is?

And no, sir, ancient Egypt did not stretch all the way to Europe as you said.

As a matter of fact, it did not stretch beyond Western Asia/Middle East. The real farthest extent of the ancient Kingdom of Egypt was from where you now have Libya to what you now call Syria. It did not go beyond that.

Get a f****** education. And stop misinforming people.

Are you even listening to the guy.

All what he wrote sounded or looked like words from the Yoruba language which is pretty much a Niger-Congo language while we all know that the ancient Egyptians spoke a language that can best be described as Afro-Asiatic.

Dude is just being a joker.

The Egyptian empire started around 6000 BC and ended 1000 BC. It lasted 5000 years. It was followed by Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek and Roman empires. The Roman empire started around 600 BC and ended around 600 AD. It lasted about 1000 years.
The original Egyptians who founded Egypt in 6000 BC were black Africans who spoke a language called Isankiri and these people named Egypt Nile Isan. Around 4000 BC a new people called Kwuchi or Kush came from Asia and settled in upper Egypt. Around 2000 BC a new people called Maori or Moor came from Asia and settled in lower Egypt. After these came Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Turks to Egypt. The Kwuchi or Kush named Egypt Kemet. The Persians named it misraim. And the Greeks named it Egypt. As a result of all these migrations the language of Egypt changed from Isankiri to Aramaic, then to Persian, Greek, Latin Roma, Coptic and Arabic.
