Egypt presented statues and other artifacts unearthed during a year-long dig at the Saqqara Necropolis in Giza. The objects date back to the fifth and sixth dynasties of the Old Kingdom, a period roughly between 2500 B.C and 2100 B.C.

necropolis..
you mean like dead N word storage?..
what did you say? White devil?
Priceless.
Ancient Egyptians were definitely black Africans
Why do they look like Black & Hispanics? Their hair is wooly & their skin is dark why are they not white? This might be fake.
@Moises this is not black you dummy black is like this
https://youtu.be/Ee8NvgURCZs
Can’t you see the difference dummy and I didn’t say we are red. I said the statues is reddish brown. Why reddish because when we Egyptian. Stay in sun for long time our skin become reddish brown
@Moises does this guys look black to you 👇 🤔https://youtu.be/hNxwqAy_JZA
@الإخواني الجيد هو الميت So your people were slaves in Egypt ?
@Moises my people are Egyptians why would we be slaves in Egypt
@الإخواني الجيد هو الميت Egyptians were the 12 tribes of Israel not Arabs or people that look like you. Real Egyptians are blacks latinos and native Indians.
🛸 are on their way
Amazing
Just make sure the English doesn’t mistakenly take them back to England.
@RUSTY VENTURE I don’t understand this. Saying stalin offended some alphabet soup person?
Mummy offends people as people are mummies. Not females
@Jim Doe no nothing was said about lgbtq people, that was just you looking for an excuse to hate people, the part about Russia and Stalin was a joke, and frankly you’re a hypocrite if you complain about the alphabet gang and then say you’re offended because someone uses the term Mummy, I don’t agree with gender politics either your statement makes you look like a hypocrite, who is offended by the word Mommy and why should I care? Do you not know that British people call their mother that? Mum and mummy are terms that have been around for quite a long time, so if I want to make a joke about a mummy and daddy I’m going to do it because it’s not offensive to anyone with any common sense, and your alphabet comment proves that you discriminate against other people so you have no room to claim to be offended, so get over it boy it’s not my fault your mummy failed you
@Jim Doe this is literally the first time ever I’ve heard anyone say they were offended by The Mummy, congratulations you’ve outdone both the liberals and the conservatives, and the award for biggest crybaby of the year goes to… JIMMY for his pathetic rants about mummies and his sad attempt at relevance
You mean to a safe country with extensive security?
@RUSTY VENTURE take on the whitemans burden… To a people half devil half child!
Return the treasures you stole, England. You greedy little piggies.
@الإخواني الجيد هو الميت
I remember it all.
I think I might be the descendent of Cleopatra. I think we might be royalty.
My dad is related to her son and my mom is related to her daughter or vice versa. I’m still tracing it.
All these rich European nations have been trying to cover it up for centuries, but we’re Egypt’s royal family.
My dad is Puerto Rican. The Catholic Church said my dad’s ancestors were the product of a union between a Spaniard and some kind of Indigenous islander in Puerto Rico.
My mom is Lebanese and Native American and European mixture.
I think they are Cleopatra’s descendants.
@Beth Jim no you are not the decendant of cleopatra
@Beth Jim Cleopatra died.in Egypt so her decendant either live in Egypt or in greece
@الإخواني الجيد هو الميت
You’re right. I’m probably not.
Can’t stand the guy.
Seriously, how much longer is that miserable con artist going to live?
Wahhhh
So freaking awesome!
Those black ethiopians are taking their history back.
Fakes. Piltdown artifacts
Imagine channeling the same near-psychedelic obsession the “west” has for ancient Egyptian relics towards Egypt’s southern neighbor, namely, Sudan — another land of pyramids, and how much more could be uncovered about the mysteries therein. Some of those mysteries could even hold more clues to the origins of the ancient Egyptian civilization that mesmerizes ‘westerners’. Imagine Sudan’s ancient treasures got the same non-stop reporting on “new discoveries.” Alas, such interest in true learning does not exist; rather, ‘westerners’ are more content with finding “extraterrestrial” origins for the Nile Valley civilization, using European actors to play dynastic Egyptians, exporting artefacts to ‘western’ museums, and lecturing Africans on how the ancient Nile Valley civilization is supposedly out of place on the African continent.
@Brian McLaughlin
I laid out the backdrop of the imbalances between “western” access and African access to treasures from ancient ruins; these are the facts, not “excuses.” Improving economies on the continent cannot reverse the fact that already over 80% of precious African artefacts are housed in “western” museums. Furthermore, emerging African economies have a whole host of things to prioritize; it is not a given that governments will necessarily put recovering artefacts at the top of the list. Perhaps, as budgets become big enough, governments will be enticed to expand archaeological exploration and render it as a work-in-progress, as a means to open up a sector for tourism if for nothing else. Most archaeological work are precipitated by accidental discovery or visible signs of historic ruins. That was how colonizing forces of ‘western’ countries were spurred into more ambitious and organized efforts to exploit precious artefacts of invaded foreign lands as “spoils of war.” Many artefacts in ‘western’ museums started out as _private_ “souvenirs” or loot of their invading soldiers.
It seems an African and all black schoolers are consuming only. 🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚
@Lamin G. ALl the peoples there are egyptains and anicent egyptains wern’t black
@gazardiel
Two questions:
1) What are “Egyptians” according to you?
2) By what *measures* are you ruling out the possibility of ancient Egyptians being “black”?
FYI – “Black” can be an *arbitrary* term, depending on the user. The back & forth in the exchanges that have taken place here is proof of this. To demonstrate what I mean, take ancient Egyptian artwork for instance: People with similar “chocolate-like” hue would ordinarily be described as “black” by persons of European heritage, colloquially speaking. For some reason, however, exception to this rule is made when it comes to ancient Egyptians; whatever could that reason be, I wonder? 🤔
@Black Safety
Same could be said of those who ironically use “black” in their monikers; that they consume 💨💨💨💨💨💨 by 😒😒😒😒😒😒
There’s still more to discover.
3D printing during ancient times, amazing!
Just stop it.
Next you will go on with the aliens built the pyramids nonsense.
@Yvonne Plant Off course not, pyramids were built using sonic vibration tools. That use sound at a specific frequency to move and melt objects together.
Stop it! Stop living in Platos cave…
Are you stupid?
@Irene Garcia do you like judging others?
Ancient Egyptians were Black. Not the Arabs who live there today due to past invasions.
@kamal karim Genesis 16:3
“And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.”
Galatians 4:23
“But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.”
Webster’s 1828 Dictionary
Bondslave
BOND’SLAVE, noun [bond and slave.] A person in a state of slavery; one whose person and liberty are subjected to the authority of a master.
Black ethiopian yes.
@kamal karim Herodotus went to Egypt in 450BC and wrote ” the egyptian natives are blackened with the heat”. Chapter 17, book of histories.
@Harvard archaeologist Professor I thought they were blackened by youtube
@kamal karim no sir that hair is the BEJA TRIBE. Look it up and be amazed. Old historian herodotus was right wow.
Look at the thick locs and braided hair. Yes, we know who they are.
😂😂😂😂
@Dwincasau Ywefanma Lol no they weren’t. Pharaohs were West Asians
@Chiccn George
A Eurocentric ideologue would not be privy to that sort of thing, other than to get bogged down to superficial arguments about “skin color.” The Ancient Egyptian complex traces its iconic cultural themes to what Euro scientists today call “Nubia,” which itself is a fairy tale concept. No such empire called “Nubia” existed. The word comes from a corruption of a Nile Valley word, which has since been used to delineate “ancient Egyptians” from nearby southern inhabitants. The southern border of ancient Egypt (aka _Kmt.nwt_ ) was never constant; it moved back and forth. There was a southern complex _preceding_ dynastic Egypt; scientists have given it the name “A-Group Nubians.” The place was actually called Ta-Seti, not “Nabia.” A lot of themes from this complex would become iconic in dynastic Egypt. So, again, someone who blindly says “ancient Egyptians begat Nubian civilization,” must not be privy to such a thing.
@Dwincasau Ywefanma
The so-called “Nubians” that ruled dynastic Egypt were actually “Kushites.” You might want to familiarize yourself with that word. To say “Nubians = blacks,” is a figment of your imagination. In fact, your notion of some hard “skin color delineation” between “Egyptians and Nubians” is not grounded on substantive merit. The so-called “Nubians” have appeared in renderings ranging from “chocolate-like” [like the Egyptians] to “pitch black.” So, was there a true color that represented “Nubians,” or was there more to this state of affairs? 🙂
It’s crazy and fascinating to me that a culture lived to be buried and people constantly digging them up like it’s okay
Happens. Look at Breakwaters @ San Francisco Bay. Tombstones. Needed the Real estate. Would you rather Zawi had to Retire?
@Herr Wahnsinn Shows what you Know. Google GPR. Lots more to find in Situ.
Someone else is gonna do it and everything will just rot on some rich guys shelf
White ppl doing white things
Those Statues looked faked and altered
From thousands of years ago, the images of a traditional families still exists. What does this say about this new American culture? It’s headed in the wrong direction. 🕴️🗣️🙇
😂😂😂😂American
Wait until you see the two men buried together and the images they had carved!
I don’t think they have enough microphones
Holy..
Mummy 😱
Those Statues are GORGEOUS 😍
They’re also fake
There is a myth among descendants of chattel slavery in West Africa that Ancient Egyptians are their ancestors.
@Lamin G.Yeah, ancient Egyptians were black. We are saying the same thing. They were pure Africans
@Peace
The _core_ population of ancient Egypt is what Eurocentrists would have called “black,” if their traditional color-based “racial” conventions were adhered to. Of course, this is not to naively say that the ancient Egyptians did not integrate foreign settler groups into their society on occasion; some of these foreign elements were not necessarily “black.” Thus, like any other non-isolated society, incorporating new nationalities into their society would have enriched diversity in ancient Egypt. This is the process through which Egypt has, over time, become what it is today. If this is what you were getting at in your OP, then, yes, we would be in agreement. 🙂
@Lamin G. Yes there was integration but the Arabs later invaded Egypt in their numbers and imposed their religion there. I am talking of when Egypt was still called Kemet with the whole of Africa. The name Egypt was introduced by the invaders
@Dwincasau Ywefanma
You claimed: _For thousands of years prior to that_ [“Nubian” rule] _Egypt was ruled by ancestors of modern Egyptians._
“Ancestors of modern Egyptians” include Greeks, Romans, Palestinians, Syrians, etc. You will be hardpressed to _prove_ that these were the people who unified to start a dynasty now called “ancient Egypt” by the ‘west.’ 🙂
Thoth=Djehuty=Yehudi=Jew. They slaved Africans ..
Called to me then the Master, saying:
Gather ye together my people.
Take them by the arts ye have learned of far across the waters,
until ye reach the land of the hairy barbarians,
dwelling in caves of the desert.
Follow there the plan that yet know of.
Gathered I then my people and
entered the great ship of the Master.
Upward we rose into the morning.
Dark beneath us lay the Temple.
Suddenly over it rose the waters.
Vanished from Earth,
until the time appointed,
was the great Temple.
Fast we fled toward the sun of the morning,
until beneath us lay the land of the children of KHEM.
Raging, they came with cudgels and spears,
lifted in anger seeking to slay and utterly destroy the Sons of Atlantis.
Then raised I my staff and directed a ray of vibration,
striking them still in their tracks as fragments
of stone of the mountain.
Then spoke I to them in words calm and peaceful,
telling them of the might of Atlantis,
saying we were children of the Sun and its messengers.
Cowed I them by my display of magic-science,
until at my feet they groveled, when I released them.
Long dwelt we in the land of KHEM,
long and yet long again.
Until obeying the commands of the Master,
who while sleeping yet lives eternally,
I sent from me the Sons of Atlantis,
sent them in many directions,
that from the womb of time wisdom
might rise again in her children.
Long time dwelt I in the land of KHEM,
doing great works by the wisdom within me.
Upward grew into the light of knowledge
the children of KHEM,
watered by the rains of my wisdom.
zahi hawas is a fraud and should be in jail for stealing artifacts
brown and black skinned Egyptians clearly!!!
And If u visted Egypt u will find brown and dark skin ppl normally also sometimes they got this color from working long hrs under sun
I see white slave grinding grain
@pm not slaves ,workers
Memorialized for all eternity
Wow, I wish I was there
I thought the man speaking into the 🎙️🎤 mic’s was going to say they were created by aliens. He has the voice from ancient aliens
So rare – everyday Egyptians in naturalistic style.
generally called Hellenistic, without even having had a look I can say with some certainty, that lowers the clickbait “4,300 year old” title to 2,300 or so. Young by Local standards.
That hair is of the BEJA TRIBE. Black ethiopians. Those black africans are taking their culture back.
Ancient Egyptians were skilled artists; the Greeks did not imitate for no good reason.
That archaeologist…..joke. Great find but that guy is sketchy
Hawas has always made my skin crawl. Ugh
Would you look at that, it looks like the lighter skin statues are the slaves, hum kind of reminds me of a story that seems to be revealing itself to be more true every day. Have a blessed one!
@Neder Moor Do you know God is not asking you to cut and paste the Bible right . He would prefer you use your heart to talk to people especially on here that way you don’t just push them away out the gate, you lead them to the water. Start a dialogue first, let them know you have a heart. You are the reason people are turning from Christ, I mean that with the upmost respect because I know you are trying to do right. The thing that’s making everybody sick is religiosity, instead of just reciprocating the message of Jesus Christ. The message of love! Peace! Salvation! Notice how I was able to mention those without the book, that’s what the book did for me it wasn’t making able to where I can describe what’s in the water before I show someone where the well is. Have a blessed day
@Neder Moor If I was gonna follow your lead right now, I would just cut and paste cut and paste cut and paste and be the next cut and paste religiosity nut pushing people away. If you were to follow what I was doing right now, you could possibly lead somebody with a real conversation to the truth about our God. Hopefully this all makes sense to you.
@Dwincasau Ywefanma now go look at the projected population of black Africa and GDP growth and realize what post 2100 will be.
That’s important to you? That’s your takeaway? Really?
@Dwincasau Ywefanma
Which “so many people” did you have in mind, with respect to “slavery” in Egypt, and in what context?
And who can say that the ancient Egyptians were not Blacks? Look at the paintings and the physical features of the statues
@Abdalla Mahmoud Hahaha, they were Africans who were later conquered by other nations with the last being the Arabs. Ancient Egyptians were pure Africans while present Egyptians are not pure Africans. Very difficult to understand?
@Peace pure North Africans and actually Egypt is partly Asia so why they didn’t look like Chinese they were conqoured by Greeks and Persians then Roamans then Arabs then later later Turk then French and lastly English and no mass migrations are recorded of mass genocides,the pharonic Era ended 600 yrs before Arab conquest they took it from Romans and at that time Egypt was already a Christian nation and was speaking coptic which is ancient Egyptians langauge with greeks letters and some Greek words they were painting saints, building churches and using cross instead of Pharoanic things
@Abdalla Mahmoud You are very recent. I am talking of the time when Egypt was still called Kemet with the whole of Africa. Different populations invaded Kemet. The Arabs were just the last
If you are poor and suffer a lot and believe in me (burnt copper skin Jesus Christ) and have a little understanding of science like
Electricity, electrons, photons, light, visible spectrum, radio waves, magnetism, static electricity,
atoms. Then do as I say:
*Make a footstool/table out of wood and place a subwoofer on it and your feet and play 7.83 Hertz
be positive think about nothing close your eyes and resonate with the sound.
I am now such an expert that you increase your chances in the summer high point and winter high point.

They show us clay statues, while hiding the light. Woopty Doo
Just don’t say Mummy or woke people will go reeee
Dig up Elizabeth and let’s see those stolen treasures
Great! Now put them back! The dead and their possessions should be left where they lie!
“Ancient Egyptian Treasures Unveiled After Giza Tombs Grave Robbing”
Look at that black culture
And white people are wanting people to believe that ancient Egyptians were “white”…. SMH!
So they were black
Black ethiopians yes.
That hairstyle is the BEJA TRIBE.
So disrespectful to those families of the departed. Imagine them digging up your grandpa and putting his watch on display just to make money from tourists.
Sickening.
@jubasniper 254Ck you clearly need remedial English lessons
Digging them up is just the icing on the cake. No other ancient remains are as meticulously “scrutinized” in laboratories as the ancient Egyptians. I don’t see as many “facial reconstructions,” hair follicle analysis, body-proportions analysis, or “DNA tests” done on, say, ancient Greek specimens, as done on Ancient Egyptian specimens.
Why act like you care when you just steal all my stuff anyway?
I paid a lot for my resting place! Glad the dead in Christ shall rise first! We won’t have to be concerned with grave robbers. How are they allowed to desecrate these tombs? They must have permission from someone!
Is it for true academic research or media grabbing headlines? Do they intend to dig up (and empty) each and every tomb? Is it really necessary?
Don’t let the Europeans take it
Glorious native civilizations before the advent of the cross and the cresent…
Look how white are they❤️❤️❤️ seems like they want to appear to shut the mouth of all the afrocentrism❤😂😂😂😂😂
Great
Looks Middle Eastern Caucasion people with Tan/Orange skin to me. Good work.
😂
@James Valsquith They look the same as the people today and definitely not Negroid.
@sz
They do look exactly like the people today.
Negroid as a term is obsolete. According to up to date academic scholarship.
White man grinding corn!
hahaha sun was so bright then he couldn’t come from the caucus mountain caves. They document that themselves. Arabs are caucasian as well. Both are brothers don’t be fooled. They both burn in the sunlight immediately.
Wife hugging her husband
Disrespectful
What artifacts will be found when our modern civilization is found centuries from now? If anything.
I absolutely love Egyptology. 4000 yo tomb. My only regret is Hawas is in involved. That said, I’m interested if anyone knows who’s producing the inevitable special. Natural Geographic? History Channel?
Look at those black pharaoh Egyptians
Not a white person in sight Lmao salute to my ancestors
That stuff looks Whitewashed to me.
Toothless dictator advertisement, just under egpytian mummy discovers, a lot them these days.
Sure, but, it is barbaric mass murderer Sizi regime.
Western imperialists and “mariot” media are advertising their client Arab world dictators.
And Sizi is one of the worst.
SHAME
A degree of Intellectual dishonesty
