Hey Black people stop arguing with the whites about this. Please.

Simply ask them to google the Greek father of History, Herodotus, to read what he witnessed. Hint: He said they were dark with woolly hair no different looking than any other Ethiopian. Note: Ethiopian meant anyone in Sub Saharan Africa.

Second step. Ask them to google DNA Tribes' King Tut DNA analysis. Hint: He is 90% sub Saharan African. Dr. Zahari reluctantly released the findings only after white people lied about the test results because a screen shot they saw on TV during a documentary on the testing.

Third step. Educate your kids so they know that civilization starts with them and continued throughout the entire continent until whites came to steal the African resources and kill half the population on the continent. Teach them about the Songhai, Timbuktu and the moors. This way they can have some pride and can just laugh when racists call them names because anger only hurts us.

Peace

Anybody with half a brain knows that Big Foot Illuminati aliens built all of the pyramids using anti-gravity machines at night when the air was green and out of focus. The Discovery Channel has proof. Check it out.

I don't agree. I heard that Elvis' ancient incarnation used his mental powers aided by Marilyn Monroe's ancient incarnation with input from the same ancestor who gave us Guy Falks, Incidentally, Elvis and Marilyn are still together, running a small colmado in Euwbanks, Florida. Hey, you can look it up in the National Inquirer archives!!

You are spot on, August. Check out the Coral Gable castle located in Coral Gables, FL.

During the 1930's, an immigrant from Latvia single-handedly built many edifices that was named the Coral Gable Castle. He was five-feet tall and weighed between 90-100 pounds. He suffered from tuberculosis. In short, he was frail. He had three pyramids made up of three telephone poles. Each pyramid had a metal box on top of each pyramid. They were upright.

He had five trowels of various sizes. He also had a device that generated magnetic waves.

He had a front gate that weighed fifteen tons. One corner was balanced on a truck distributor cap. It was so finely balanced that all one had to do was flick your finger and the gate would spin many times. During the recent past someone knocked it out of kilter. It took six young, husky engineers and a large crane to put it back but it was not as balanced as it was before.

One night one of the builder's friends stopped by and the Latvian rushed down from his observatory and yelled, "I found it! I found the secret of the ancients!"

He never divulged the secret. It is worth knowing that the ancient Egyptians were fixated on the North Star as well as the Latvian. I wish I knew why they were fixated but I will never know.

One night four local boys decided to spy on the Latvian and they told the townspeople that he used levitation. They were laughed at.

A friend of mine toured the complex and told me that you could see where there were cut marks on top of the coral he did not remove. I told my friend that does not explain how he cut down the sides and the bottom.

August, many yokels will criticize us and make us the butt of their provincial humor but no one less than Werner von Braun (father of the United States Space Program) said, "There is no doubt that aliens have visited earth. The only thing is that they are much more advanced than we previously thought."

THE PYRAMIDS were highly advanced power plants that generated and sent out power through the air in someway that we totally don't understand yet.

The only mega structures that we put that much resources into now are Hydro Electric Dams which serve the same purpose. Free Energy.

There is evidence of hydrochloric acid and hydrated zinc in some chambers, when mixed it creates hydrogen. And the absence of soot from fires/torches on the ceilings is also pretty telling.

@LeveHead - Tombs had Elaborate Carvings and Paintings on the Walls. Like the ones found in King Tuts Tomb in the Valley of the Kings. No such Carvings or Painting were found in any of the Pyramids. Just plain smooth walls. Like you would find in a Power Plant of some kind. People are just starting to realize this.

Egyptians were absolutely confused to what they looked like. They also had no clue where they were and how they go there. They built Pyramids, buildings, had marvelous architectural designs. And yet with all the pictures of them on the wall, dark skin, half naked, with braids, locks and twisted hair. Pictures of African animals. Oh, I mean... space animals... I mean... I guess looking at king Tut's broad nose and thick lips still brings confusion... They were the dumbest... smartest... people of their time. .. Oh and one more things... Aliens built the pyramids. We all know that.

Having just read a biography on Cleopatra, she was a Ptolemy. That dynasty was founded by a general of Alexander the Great, ergo, Macedonian Greek.

Allegedly, she was also part Syrian.

One thing for certain is the ancient Egyptians were NOT black or white.

The Egyptians considered themselves to be a red race and this is depicted in most of their paintings. However, as others have stated this was a cosmopolitan culture with recorded evidence of all races. The influence of black races increased greatly in later dynasties due to conquerors from Libya and Ethiopia. The Ptolemaic rulers were Greek but the population of the country was still a mix.

ahmedReply toWilliam Lamb

And yet on the Stele of the Nations, Libyans in particular are the whitest of those depicted. Of course it is because they were Berbers, who are the original North Africans, who were NOT BLACK. They were separated from sub-saharan Africa with the Sahara, while Egypt had a major waterway going into the heart of sub-saharan africa resulting in the inevitable admixture.

The cradle of humankind might be in Africa, but the cradle of humanity, civilization and knowledge was in the Middle East. Not in White Europe, not in Asian China,, the Middle East. The people that gave you the very letters you are using now were not White, and they were not Black, and neither were they whatever the PC word is for the color of Asians.

The Ancient Greeks knew where they derived their greatness from when they called Cadmus of Tyre the Pheonician (notice no mention of Jews) the father of their alphabet, and they knew Auegyptus as the brother of Danaan. If Egyptians had been black, there is no way any Greek could have believed that they shared ancestors with the Egyptians.

Society must understand the early ancient Egyptians before it was an actual cohesive society was far different than how it turned out to be centuries later. The early ancient Egyptians had a lot of knowledge of the universe, of electromagnotheric (which is infused in electromagnetic energy) energy, and a very great understanding of sound vibration. With an understanding of sound vibration and electromagnotheric energy A LOT of "magical" things can be discovered.

But it's just the elements of the universe they learned that they were able to achieve levitation technology, or hovering crafts. Nikola tesla himself said " To understand the secrets of the universe think in terms of frequency, energy, and vibration."

Those 3 basic elements of the cosmic universe were well understood at one time. It is what the atlanteans understood which is why there is no evidence of it today because the elements of the universe were abused by that particular culture, so the knowledge was lost over time.

And also hidden in the chambers and temples of the central Americas for a later spirtuality educated human race to stumble upon. Which we will when chambers in pyramids and temples are fully examined and explored a lot go historical evidence of to antics will come to surface. It's just been hidden or "put away" by the ancient cultures who held the information.

Sound vibration, electromagnotheric energy, is like fire you can use fire to cool a BBQ or stay warm, or you can use it to harm others.

The "docks" for all 3 of the great pyramids end at the dry riverbed that the Nile flowed through over 30,000 years ago.

Why would you build docks to a dry riverbed?

The Pyramids are OBVIOUSLY far older than the 5000 or 6000 years that is currently attributed to them.

How else can you explain laying a 10 ton block every 40 seconds, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in order to complete even one of these structures in the 20 years build period commonly cited.

.... and all without the use of the wheel or tools harder than copper or bronze.

There was a golden age of mankind long before the one we are currently enjoying.

Some of those blocks weighed up to 200 tons cut to a tolerance of 1/10,000 of an inch on it's surfaces. Also, before the 2 million 20-200 ton blocks can be moved into position, the platform had to be prepared. The bedrock was leveled off and passageways were cut down into it for hundreds of feet.

If you know a little Egyptian history and believe in a little fairy tale magic, Tut gets a little interesting.

In terms of a reign, his was bleh. He died a child...

But in terms of an eternal legacy/life, he wins.

His dad shifted the kingdom toward the worship of one main God, the sun god. Across cultures, gold is the metal that represents the sun. The reason we care about Tut is that HIS GOLD WAS FOUND. We're it not for his sun gold, his would be just another king's mummy.

Long after Tut, Rome conquered Egypt.

Although we use the Germanic word gold, the Latin "aurum," shows up in gold's chemical symbol Au.

If you start imagining a little, Rome conquered the sun god, and it is now "cursed" with the name aurum.

The only mystery about ancient Egypt is why do white people feel the need to present ancient Egyptians as white people? I have that answer. Its because the philosophy of a racist can not and never will be able to see people of color in any role other than that of subservient class. Therefore, white supremacists will claim aliens built the pyramids and cross bred with humans to create a higher species(lol). They'll even say there's no way to definitively prove that ancient Egyptians were black even though common sense tells anybody if you're that close to the equator, you would have to be a person of color to even survive. They will say anything other than the truth because the truth makes the average racist cringe. The world could never be as it is today, if the chief deceivers didn't reverse society and have everything backwards. Also with this rewriting of history, which the racists also control, in 20 years everyone will believe ancient Egyptians were white. The only white Egyptians are those fake Coptic Egyptians who only appeared after Alexander the barbarian, came over and started this big lie...

Its funny why the writer left some important information. he failed to mention the Nubians once ruled Egypt, even the the hieroglyphics showed the features of the people of Nubia. There are also similar structures built in Nubia that resembled the pyramids of ancient egypt.

NatReply toantonio

That was quite late in Egyptian history. The 25th Dynasty refers to the kings of Kush (which included Nubia) who ruled all or part of Egypt from around 746 to 653 BC. They were defeated & driven out by the Assyrians. All of them, including their queens, were buried in their native land, none were buried in Egypt. All of their tombs have been excavated & identified.

Seems like the author is more concerned with getting his multi-culti points for dissing White Privilege than getting his facts straight (love that qualifier, "white actress"). Anwar Sadat's wife was Egyptian and white, so does that make her a "white Egyptian"?

Egypt is at the crossroads of the world and always has been. Trying to paint Egyptians of any period - and the Ptolomies came long after the pyramid builders - as being, or not being, one specific color or range of colors, is a fool's errand.

"Persian", "Egyptian", "Greek", "African"- these are not races, they are cultures. As the article stated, born there, raised there, speak the language, worship the gods, BINGO, you are Egyptian. Talk to black Muslims that live in England. Born there, raised there, speak the language, worship a god that is accepted there, and they consider themselves English. Their skin color does not matter. There were what we would consider "white" Egyptians I'm sure but they were Egyptian none the less.

@Man in the middle, you say that Egypt being in Africa doesn't make the people Black, so I say to you, that ancient Greece being in Europe doesn't make the Greeks white, but rather, the ancient Greeks were indeed Black Pelasgians and Garamantes from North and Western Africa, and the original Greek civilizations were founded by Black Africans.

Edward, if ancient Egypt was at the so call "cross roads" of the world, then all countries that border all continents are at the cross roads of the world, including the USA which borders Tijuana, Mexico, and Spain which borders Morocco, so your point is moot....Ancient Egypt was 100% Black, and even the ancient Greeks were a mixture of Negroid and Caucasoid people by the time the Greeks came to occupy lower Egypt, which is the smallest land mass of all Egypt. Upper Egypt to the south remained Black and is is still predominantly Black populated today...

Edward, the Black Egyptian president Anwar Sadat's wife was a white woman of English ancestry, and only an Egyptian by citizenship. She was not a Black Egyptian, nor will she ever be, since original Egyptians were 100% Black same as the Black King Tut mask shown on this page. I'm sure that Sadat's white wife did not look anything like the the 100% Black King Tut mask shown...lol

I saw the movie Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor and initially thought "what? why is everyone white?" and went to research a little. According to a historian I read that actually is quite possible because the ruling class AT THAT TIME was of Greek descent. Mixing did not happen in royal families. So while whitewashing of history does raise eyebrows quite often, maybe it doesn't apply in this case. Of course this is a story from Mic designed to get you riled up so not surprising it doesn't offer a nuanced view. Cleopatra is a horrible movie too, don't waste your time.

Actually, I don't believe the Greeks took over until late in the game. I think Egypt was already a couple thousand years old by the time the Greeks came onto the scene toward the end.
