  1. They show us clay statues, while hiding the light. Woopty Doo

  2. And who can refuse that the ancient Egyptians were not Blacks? Look at the paintings and the physical features of the statues

  3. 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!

  4. That archaeologist…..joke. Great find but that guy is sketchy

  5. So rare – everyday Egyptians in naturalistic style.

  6. 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

  7. Wow, I wish I was there

  8. Memorialized for all eternity

  9. brown and black skinned Egyptians clearly!!!

  10. zahi hawas is a fraud and should be in jail for stealing artifacts

  11. There is a myth among descendants of chattel slavery in West Africa that Ancient Egyptians are their ancestors.

  12. Those Statues are GORGEOUS 😍

  13. I don’t think they have enough microphones

  14. 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. 🕴️🗣️🙇

  15. It’s crazy and fascinating to me that a culture lived to be buried and people constantly digging them up like it’s okay

  16. Look at the thick locs and braided hair. Yes, we know who they are.

  17. Ancient Egyptians were Black. Not the Arabs who live there today due to past invasions.

  18. 3D printing during ancient times, amazing!

  19. There's still more to discover.

  20. 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.

  21. Fakes. Piltdown artifacts

  22. So freaking awesome!

  23. Return the treasures you stole, England. You greedy little piggies.

  24. Just make sure the English doesn’t mistakenly take them back to England.

  25. Why do they look like Black & Hispanics? Their hair is wooly & their skin is dark why are they not white? This might be fake.

  26. Ancient Egyptians were definitely black Africans

  27. necropolis..
    you mean like dead N word storage?..
