Perhaps.

that the lineage is unbroken for a couple generations behind him.

not tiye. and i think that picture is tiye, not hatshepsut. hatshepsut went HOARD, too. she said fuck all that dumb shit. i'm not queen. i. am. pharoah.

i heart hatshepsut.

she was strong, militarily, too.

when folks be talking that, 'was cleopatra (a ptolemy) black?' i be like, fuck that set up question. was HATSHEPSUT BLACK? find a picture and shut up. /convo.

:-)



peace & blessings,

=========================================
** i move away from the mic to breathe in

and that pic/link is definitely Tiye who was Ankhnaten who could have been Tut's daddy or brother or both

Nefertiti was Ankhnaten's wife

"In keeping with the theory that she became pharaoh upon her husband's death, it is thought by some scholars that Nefertiti changed her name to Ankhkheperure Neferneferuaten, a conjectural pharaoh who may have been the one responsible for abandoning the Aten religion, and moving the capital back to Thebes. This would have been the only way to please both the people and the powerful priests of Amun. Nefertiti would have prepared for her death and for the succession of her daughter, now named Ankhsenamun, and her stepson, Tutankhamun. They would have been educated in the traditional way, worshiping the old gods. This theory has Neferneferuaten dying after two years of kingship.

She was succeeded by Tutankhamen, who is thought to have been a son of either Amenhotep III or Akhenaten. He married Nefertiti's daughter Ankhesenpaaten. The royal couple were young and inexperienced, by any estimation of their age, and Ankhesenpaaten bore two stillborn (and premature) daughters whose mummies were found by Howard Carter in Tutankhamen's tomb." ~ wikipedia

it's also been said that Ankhnaten was Moses:

http://www.thetruejesus.org/jesus/historic_connection.htm

would splain it.

also, i saw that tutankamun was originally named tutankaten, and 'changed his name', hailign a reversion from akenaten's 'heresy' and back toward the old gods. but given the age of tut, this was likely not his doing but that of one of his advisers, Ay, who was also an adviser for previous pharoahs, including akhenaten.

hmm.

very interesting story.

also, akenaten = moses may be too much. moses may have been a follower of akhenaten, though. hard to tell. moses was a popular name in egypt at the time. (pharoah thutmoses preceded these cats by a couple of generations). and he was definitely black and looked to the south in his kingship.

=========================================
** i move away from the mic to breathe in

.

but what evidence is there that Nefertiti was black, if that's where we going?

Artifacts from the time says she wasn't. Arab/Caucazoid if anything.

The Sahara formed a bit of a genetic barrier between northern invaders and true blacks (sub-saharan), from what I hear...at least you'll be hard pressed to find monuments to rulers with sub-saharan features in africa. Everyone's mummy skin turns black.

But hey, hate to kill the party with real shit, but whatever. I'm just getting sick of this Afrocentric bullshit.

Egypt has always been an African civilization though it straddles two regions, Africa and the Middle East. it's fairly clear that the cultural roots of ancient Egypt lie in Africa and not in Asia. Egypt was a subtropical desert environment and its people had migrated from various ethnic groups over its history (and prehistory), thus it was something of a "melting pot," a mixture of many types of people with many skin tones, some certainly from the Sub-Saharan regions and others from more Mediterranean climes. it is impossible to categorize these people into the tidy "black" and "white" terms of today's racial distinctions.

so Nefertiti was African and most likely her "race" was a mixture of ethnic groups, the most dominant (genetically) being Black

She ODed.

cliff notes please

Tut's daddy or brother or both...it was too incestuous for folks to figure out!

sistren right there.

innaccuracy and try to dead the whole argument. like several years ago when time published that 'was cleopatra black?' article as pretense to clown the whole afrocentric movement. and lump a bunch of disparate folks together.

i would have sonned them on that by saying that she was one of the ptolemaic rulers, who were likely persian, and ruling after conquest. at best, she may have been of mixed blood, but she was not 'egyptian' by birth in the manner of those who traced the origins of the civilization upward from the sources of the nile. then i would have said, 'was hatshepsut black?'. and they would have shut the fuck up.

also, that's still very recent in egyptian history (tut, hatshepsut, akhenaten an nem). old kingdom (great pyramids, etc), was like, 3200 bc an shit. waaay back. and look at the surviving noses on THEM statues. them is REAL black. they off that good yaphet kotto black.

what about all the wall paintings and sculptures that could have been painted "nubian" shades but weren't?

North Africa hasn't been black since the Sahara became a desert.

god Hapi dwells - Papyrus of Hunefer. one of the oldest documents recovered from egypt/kmt.

mountains of the moon are the twin sources of the nile in central east africa. 'hapi' is the neter (god, if you will) associated with the Nile river, the source, both physically and metaphysically of the nile valley civilizations, of which egypt was the most well known and recognized but not the most ancient. the egyptians traced their civilization's origin to the south.

also, the archaeological record confirms this, with the proto-dynastic civilizations, including the Ta-Seti (land of the bow) situated further up the nile, to the south, in what is nubia and present day sudan.

i'm having fun with this post, w/ regard to tutankamun, however, the creators of dynastic egypt, up to and through the old kingdom and the time of the great pyramids were undoubtedly and unmistakeably phenotypically BLACK AFRICAN. look at khufu (cheops), khafre an nem.

thuthmoses (a couple of kings before tut) was unmistakably black, as were hatshepsut, etc. if tut was not entirely black he was certainly black enough to be racially profiled while driving an acura in the U.S .

the egyptian civilization traced its own roots to nubia and further south. that's why when there were nubian conquests, they were considered restorations of the past glory of egypt, unlike persian and hyksos conquests.

there are more pyramids in sudan than in egypt. go count all the pyramids in persia or arabia and get back to me. also find me any document in which the egyptians themselves trace their lineage and heritage to the north. didn't happen.

the society was certainly diverse. it existed around a nexus of three continents (2 real, one imagined).

if the UK elects a succession of black prime ministers, would someone be dumb enough to say, two millenia in the future, that britain was an historically black civilization? that's precisely what 'egyptologists' and lay people alike do with egypt with regard to that nation's history, equating the entire population with the widely circulated images of a handful of foreign born rulers who conquered egypt millenia after the foundation of its science religion and culture were set.

and this does not even get into the wide variation of african phenotypes (ie, look at a somali compared to a nigerian or south african).

** its of interest to note that tutankhamun was a bit more explicit than usual in declaring his prowess. this may have been attributed that he and his queen were of young age and their only two known offspring were stillborn. that's not good form for a divine ruler, so this particular braggadocio was likely tutankhamun's attempt to save face.

and I asked EVERYONE, were the people who built the pyramids black like in sudan, or did they look like you (arab). The overwhelming response was either one of confusion, vagueness, or sadly that they looked like present day arabianized Egyptians.

this all changed once I got down (up) to Aswan where the Nubian influence is so much stronger. They were all like IT WAS FUCKING THE BLACK MAN YOU BITCH AS MOTHAHFUCKEEEEWWWWSSS (c) RZA

I'm exagerating, but only there in Aswan did the people overwhelmingly say the black, africans were the pharoahes who built the shit.



HOWEVER... the blackness in Tuts's remains only has to do with age and preservatives. A lot of the chemicals turned the skin, and then it cured over millennium. So you can't rely on the skin color. The fucked up thing was that since the brain of the mummified was removed from the nose, all the mummies I say in person of like Rames II and shit, the nose was broken from this process so I couldn't see what the nose looked like. Figured that was going to be about as definative as we were going to get, but no dice. (the penis was covered up too.)


peace.
Total...

So off course black people built those FOR SURE.

that's what I was talking about. I was asking people, "who built the pyramids" and a depressing amount said they looked just like them (arab).
