THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS WERE BLACK

The genealogical chart in Genesis 10 lists Ham (Khem/ Khawm/Kam/Cham) as the paternal father of the Black Afrikans and from these Afrikans originated Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Kushites/Nubians. Ham had four sons: Cush (Ethiopia/Nubia), Mizraim (Egypt), Phut (Libya/East Afrika), and Canaan (Palestine) (Genesis 10:6). The ancient Egyptians are identified in the Bible as Hamites/Khemites (Psalm 106:21-22; 78:51; 105:27), and were descended through the line of Mizraim which is the name given for Egypt in the Hebrew Old Testament.

"Kemet" is an ethnic term derived from the word Khem (Khawm/Cham/Ham) which means burnt or Black. Ham, one of the three sons of Noah and the direct ancestor of the Egyptians, was Black; moreover, the Bible repeatedly refers to Egypt as the Land of Khawm /Ham, and equates Ham with Egypt. (Psalm. 78:51; 105: 23, 27; 106:21, 22). In other words, the Bible is calling Egypt the Land of Black people.

The ancient Egyptians called themselves KM or Kam-Au which means Black people or Black God-people, and their country Kemet (Kamit /Khemit), which means land of the Black people and the Black Land. The foreign word Egypt is derived from the Greek word Aigyptos / Aegyptos which also means Black. However, Western historians, Egyptologists, and professors disseminate the misinformation that the word Kemet only refers to the colour of the land which it can, and not to the colour of its people which it does. These Egyptologists, scholars and historians have deliberately manufactured this deception based partly on a section of Herodotus' statement which says that Egypt is a land of Black soil; completely ignoring the fact that he also said that the Egyptian people were Black.

Examine this sample of kings from the 1-5th dynasties of the early Egyptian period which many historians suggest was dominated by white rulers.

Pharaoh 

Narmer-Menes, 1st dynasty ruler of Egypt Hotepsekhemwy, 

2nd dynasty ruler of Egypt Sanake, 3rd 

dynasty ruler of Egypt Khufu 4th 

dynasty ruler of Egypt Userkaf 5th 

dynasty ruler of Egypt
(1) - 1st dynasty (3890 - 2686 BC). Narmer (Aha/Menes) was the first unifier of Upper and Lower Egypt.
(2) - 2nd dynasty (3890 - 2686 BC). Hotepsekhemwy.
(3) - 3rd dynasty (2650 - 2575 BC). Sanakhte was the first pharaoh of the third dynasty of ancient Egypt.
(4) - 4th dynasty (2575 - 2467 BC). Pharaoh Khufu was the second king of dynasty 4 of the Old Kingdom.
(5) - 5th dynasty (2465 - 2345 BC). Userkaf was the founder of the 5th Dynasty.

These professors and Egyptologists sought to deceive the world by painting the picture that Egyptian civilization was created by the people who originally came from Asia, yet no Asian parent can be found anywhere. There are no buildings, writings, or cultural material to provide the evidence that anything came from Asia that could have produced what was found in Egypt, but on the other hand, there is plenty of evidence which clearly point to the fact that the reverse was true, including these words from the Egyptians themselves. "We came from the source of the Nile, the foothills of the mountains of the moon". A map will show that they either came from Ethiopia or Uganda, so taking the Egyptians own words as to where they came from, that would be the hinterlands of Afrika, up river, up the Nile, near either Mount Ruwenzori or Mount Kilimanjaro, which would take them either into Ethiopia or the Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania areas.

The Egyptians used only one term to describe themselves - KM(T) - which literally means Black men. The term represents a collective noun which describes the whole people of Pharaonic Egypt as a Black people, and this is the strongest term existing in the Pharaonic language that indicates Blackness.

Note the carving on the hieroglyph below where on the left centre there is a symbol that looks like a little stair step which is the hieroglyphic emblem or Medu Netjer symbol for KM. The symbol that looks like half a ball is the hieroglyph for T, and from these you get KMT (Kemet) and terms like chemistry, chemical, Kham. The symbol is enlarged and shown again separately on the right for clarity.

Egyptians saw themselves Hieroglyphic symbol 

referring to Black Egyptians

So KMT is the strongest word in the Egyptian language for Black, but in addition, note that there are also two little people sitting beside this symbol which indicates that it is referring to Black People, that is, the Black people of the Black land. So the Egyptians have given us a physical description as well as the term they used to call themselves, in their own words - KMT - Black people.

Note that the Egyptians made no distinction between themselves and the Nubians in the temple or in the tomb of Rameses III. The one on the left is Nubian; the one in the middle between the Semite and the Asian is Egyptian. This clearly shows that the Nubian and the Egyptian are identical to each other in physical type, which is the reason they are portrayed as BLACK.

races as depicted by the Ancient Egyptians

The original people of Kemet never depicted themselves as Asian or European types, and are never shown with white or pale skin on any of the authentic artefacts until the foreign period.

So there is more than enough Biblical proof supporting the Black origin of Egypt, but even in modern times there was an extensive range of techniques utilized by Dr. Cheik Anta Diop in the course of his Black-Egyptian efforts which included: accurate bone structure measurements and meticulous studies in the many related areas of anatomy and physical anthropology; examination of the epidermis of the mummies of Egyptian kings to verify their melanin content; comparing modern Egyptian and West Afrikan blood-types; detailed Black-Egyptian linguistic studies, the authentication of clear Black-Egyptian cultural traits; the writings of early Greek and Roman travellers as well as other scholars who described the physical characteristics of the ancient Egyptians as pure unmixed Blacks.

When the original Egyptians were at the pinnacle of their glory they were not a mixed group by any stretch of the imagination. This mixing occurred during the middle dynasties in particular, when foreign people migrated to this great land and started intermarrying, and this may have triggered the downfall of this great Black Civilization.

Of course White supremacists, professors, scholars, historians and so on want you to believe that it was the other way around, that Egypt was originally a white nation until Blacks arrived and intermixed especially during the final dynasties like the 18th, resulting in the destruction of Egypt and causing Egypt to become a decadent and degenerate society because of this heavy infiltration of Black blood. They have even created a rule of thumb which states that any civilized white country will revert to a lower level of culture once the population becomes excessively mixed with alien genes. Portugal is sited as an example, but of course they will not point out that when practically all of Europe was living in the dark ages, the Black Moors returned to uplift and bring them out of their barbaric state and back into the light again, restoring some semblance of civility, just as they had done before.

Naturally modern Egypt would have changed considerably as a result of the waves of invasions by the Arabs and other foreign people, and this would have impacted heavily on the colour variations of the present region, but white Egyptologists only focus on the most recent world of the white and mixed people of the Greco-Roman period, erroneously teaching that the ancient Egyptians had always looked that way physically. This is like trying to prove that ancient America has always looked like the present day white population.

In fact, when white people visit Egypt today, the locals immediately recognize them as Khawaaga which means foreigners, but when Afrikan Americans visit they are often mistaken for native Egyptians and referred to as Masri or Egyptians. This is because. Egypt is, and always has been a Black Afrikan nation.

Since the Cairo Symposium of 1974, the Caucasoid origins of Egypt along with the western Asiatic theory have gradually been abandoned in most scholarly writings, which have been replaced by a new “mixed race” perspective without offering any significant evidence to support this new hypothesis, yet these far-fetched ideas continue to flourish in the popular media like television, modern paintings, cartoons, comic books and museum exhibits, which focus only on the foreign period of Greco-Roman occupation that signalled the fall of the great Black Egyptian empire.

For decades, the National Geographic Magazine has played a key function in the misrepresentation of ancient Egyptian images. It started with a "so called" authoritative scholarly article issued in October 1941 which contained over 20 paintings by H. Herget, showing wild fantasy drawings of pale-skinned ancient Egyptians, and short Afrikans called "Deng" in Egyptian but "Pygmy" by modern Westerners, as an obscene caricature with a leash around the ankle, Black skin, ridiculously large red lips resembling an ape-like creature. The supporting text was prepared by William Hayes from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This most vile and absurd anti-Black painting from that 1941 series shows that the editors of the National Geographic, which has set the standard and continues to be a leader in publicizing make-believe Caucasian images of ancient Egyptians, including modern day publishers who still use these images, are completely shameless in their racist representations of Black people.

Euro-American scholars continue to use these ridiculously outrageous images today as illustrations in their publications to enhance their scholastic writings. Clearly this ongoing fraud and deliberate misrepresentation of ancient images demonstrate the persistent attempt to continue denigrating Black people.

Edomites represent a group of whites which descended from an albino named Esau who was born ruddy (red) and hairy according to the Bible. (Gen. 25:25) The Bible also refers to white skin as a condition of leprosy (Num. 12:10-12, Lev. 13) and states that a race of people, (the Gahazites), was born white due to being cursed! (II Kings 5:27). In fact it was covetousness on the part of Gehazi that caused him to become cursed and converted to white for lying to Elisha after he had taken money and gifts from Naaman, the captain of the Syrian Army. "Therefore the leprosy of Na'aman shall cling to you and to your descendants forever. Then Gehazi went from Elisha's presence and he was as white as snow."

The Bible shows the true origins of the white race, where greed and covetousness, proved to be responsible for the conversion of Gehazi and all his offspring from Black to white forever.

The ancient Egyptians recorded the Tamahu which means created white people, and early Egyptian writings generally refer to whites as Typhonians (white devils). There was a migration of Afrikan Albinos northward to what is present day Europe, but remember that during Biblical times Europe was a part of Afrika until the Europeans designated and divided Afrika into the regions of Europe and the Middle East.

After these “white devils” were first released into the Black community in the Near East some 6000 years ago, they caused severe strife, so they were rounded up by the Afrikans, stripped of everything, and exiled to the caves and hills of the Caucasus Mountains. So being totally cut off from civilization, these whites degenerated into uncivilized, nomadic savages, staying that way until about 2000 B.C. when numerous hordes of white barbarians suddenly left the Caucasus region and stormed all the Black centres of civilization throughout Mesopotamia, the Near East, Afrika and India, destroying and usurping them.

In other words, the arrival of the white man signalled the destruction of these ancient civilizations and the beginning of the white man's rise to power. The word Caucasian may have been derived from Caucasus, the mountain region where these people were held.

 Ancient Egyptians painted brown

In depicting themselves through their art, the ancient Egyptians used brown paint to indicate Black skin, as illustrated in this painting. Black signifies Sacred, holy, powerful, reborn or resurrection.

MAn painted brown, woman painted yellow God Ptah painted in blue, King Tut painted in brown/black Yellow skin is the traditional colour used to paint women, as it indicates a physical weakness in comparison with the man, as depicted in the painting on the right.

Politically speaking this was not the case with Egyptian women, since they were regarded as equals. Note the man with a brown skin complexion while the woman has a yellow skin. However, after the revolution of Akhenaten, social equality was rendered by painting both the male and the female in the same brown hue as seen in the image on the right.

 Amhose Nefertari painted black Black paint indicates authority or power as illustrated in this example featuring Amhose Nefertari on the left, who is portrayed with black skin.

God Ptah painted in blue, King Tut painted in brown/black In the painting on the right, the God Ptah is rendered in blue which indicates that he is a god of creation and regeneration, while Tutankhamen, who is being reborn, is shown changing from brown to black which represents the colour of transformation and resurrection.
Goddess Hathor painted in gold Goddess Hathor painted in gold The white skin colour in Egyptian art represents a recently deceased person as illustrated in the painting on the left.

The flesh tone of the gods is represented by a gold colour as shown in this rendition of the goddess Hathor on the right.
Goddess Isis painted in gold, Horus painted brown On this statuette, note the golden colour of the Goddess Isis and the brown/black colour of Horus her son which is found in the Cairo Museum.

Original Black Afrikan images on the ancient Egyptian temple walls are generally removed and hidden from the view of visitors, since the average tourist does not explore beyond the fixed tourist route where the Black Afrikan images are located, so tour guides, who are typically Arabs, tend to steer the visitors along the same temple routes, pointing out only the carefully selected images. Tourists do not get to see all the sections of the vast Karnak Temple complex, which also includes an open-air museum, statues, wall carvings, shrines, smaller temples and halls.

The underlying objective of these groups of conspirators is to erase all memory of a Black Afrikan Egypt by attempting to eliminate as many Negroid images from the ancient Egyptian historical records as possible. This is in harmony with the views of the racist Egyptologists from the 19th and early 20th century who concocted the ridiculous arguments that Black people did not have any place in ancient Egypt, while trying to convince a gullible world that Egypt was established by a white or Semitic race.

These speculative arguments were rampant among Egyptologists and became the inspiration for H. M. Herget’s 1941 National Geographic Magazine paintings of pale-skinned Egyptians, as well as the invented white images of Egyptians created by Hollywood, that still continue to mislead the public 50 years later.

The range of techniques used to change or deface the Negroid images include skilfully altering the structure of the noses on statues by using some sort of sanding machine; adding false noses; remaking or destroying the faces on tomb and temple walls; lightening the colour of the face and body paint on statues and paintings; completely removing the paint on statues and paintings to make them look white; destruction of the lower facial structure like the chin and jaw areas; inserting false bluish inlaid eyes; plastering white cement on top of temple images during conservation work; and producing outright forgeries.

Defaced statue Clearly these acts involve more than simply knocking off the noses of statues, as they entail a more widespread assault on ancient Black images.

Note the facial damage done to these statuettes from the Valley of the Kings tomb, a usual pattern used in the intensive effort to destroy Black images.


Defaced walls with white cement Egyptian worker in front of defaced walls This original wall surface on the right was totally destroyed and then plastered over with white cement.

On the left a modern Egyptian government worker is posing in front of the extensive wall damage just created.
Take a look at the evidence of this destructive action such as the scaffolding, piles of wall material, tools, mixing water, and a bag of white cement used to paste over the wall surface after the images and inscriptions are broken away.


In the 1st image below, the face of Rameses II has been completely obliterated, while in the 2nd image a line was intentionally chiselled through the face of Rameses II in an effort to alter the shape of his nose. Now compare the war helmet of Rameses II to the head of a native Black Afrikan Tutsi.

Queen Tetisheri This granite statuette inscribed with the name of the famous Queen Tetisheri was one of the forgeries of the 19th century, with its European facial features.

This used to be exhibited around the world until it was suspected to be a forgery around 1984, but not before it had fooled the experts and duped the world for a century. This world renowned statuette is now accepted to be a modern fake.

Thutmosis III with altered nose job Here, the administrators of an Italian museum gave Thutmosis III (right) a new nose job in a extreme attempt to modify his racial appearance.



Rahotep and wife The Rahotep and Nofret statues on the left are seated in chairs with Medu Neter inscriptions near the heads. These statues are now believed to be among the greatest forgeries in the history of ancient Afrikan archaeology.

Forged statue This statue on the right from the Tomb of Ikhetneb has lost practically all of its original paint on the faces and upper body, though enough of the original paint is still apparent on the legs and feet. Clearly, the dark paint was intentionally removed from the face and upper body areas to give the images the illusion of a white-skin appearance.

Remember that museum artefacts are generally handled, restored, worked on and repaired behind the scenes prior to being displayed in public, and the period between the initial excavation of an artefact and the time it is displayed can last for several years, during which time countless changes are deliberately made to the statues and paintings. Most can be detected through a careful inspection of the ancient Egyptian artefacts with racial images in any collection or museum, where the majority of items will be recognized as having been tampered with, re-worked to modify or conceal the racial identity, thoroughly de-Afrikanized or transformed from Afrikan to European or some other mixed group type.

A diverse but extensive group which performs the behind-the-scenes work, in addition to conspiring to carry out these vicious acts of destruction, alteration and invention, involves archaeologists, Egyptologists, government workers, (who dig up, record, and decide the fate of the artefacts); restoration and conservation workers, (who restore and piece together the broken artefacts); museum workers and officials (who comprise the final group that handles the artefacts before they are displayed publicly); European travellers and adventurers, (who consist of looters, treasure hunters and plunderers). During the 19th century, a considerable number of ancient Egyptian artefacts were excavated but not adequately documented with on-site photos and detailed descriptions, which have now become the accepted practice within the archaeological arena.
