The Ptolemaic Dynasty of Ancient Egypt: From Ptolemy I to Cleopatra VII
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 05. 2024
- The Ptolemaic dynasty in Ancient Egypt began under the rule of Ptolemy I Soter, whose goal was to make Egypt great again and he did that by putting the country back on solid economic and administrative footing, and it ended with Cleopatra VII. When Alexander the Great of Macedon died unexpectedly in 323 BCE he had amassed an enormous empire spanning from Egypt through Anatolia, Mesopotamia and parts of India. In order to stay away from the influence of the priests and officials at Memphis, Ptolemy I moved the capital from its traditional place at Memphis to Alexandria. Alexandria, a city established by Alexander the Great, grew and flourished under the Ptolemies. The city became more of a Greek city than an Egyptian one, with the port giving easy access to the sea and Greece, and with Greece becoming the language of both commerce and government.
A thing to note about the Ptolemies, although they were Pharaohs of Egypt, they didn’t learn the Egyptian language and pretty much just stayed in Alexandria (which they had made the new capital, moving it from the traditional capital of Memphis). They used Greek for all of their administrative documents, and married within their own family to keep the bloodline pure and also keep their wealth in the family.

Looking at the Ptolemies today, it’s easy to think that they were a little inbred and out of touch with their people - they didn’t even speak Egyptian. How different is this from today, though, since in many countries, the leading class is very exclusive and removed from the people?
I find that history provides extreme examples of what we have today, in this case, social structure.
The Ptolemies were out of touch with the Egyptian people because it wasn't their people and couldn't even speak their language.The Egyptian Pharaoh dinasty ceased to exist with the Greek take over but that didn't last long before it was swept away by other invaders.. The Romans.
So now those who are ruling Egypt are Egyptians. I beg to defer.

ANCIENT EGYPT, HMMM, ANCIENT Egypt was KNOWN as KEMET, where JET-BLACK PEOPLE Ruled. the ONLY time when Ptolemy was a Marcessary, hired Army, Queen Cleopatra the 7th, hired them, We ALL KNEW when we hired an Army they STAY in your Country, for example nowadays France, in Africa, Niger, want them to go, France still STAY. That was the Ptolemy, FIRST, you have to visit the Ancient site in Egypt. NEVER go by what author wrote ETC
That family tree made me laugh so much.
Brilliant video, tyvm.
Thanks so much for watching! And yes, it is quite a hilarious family tree!
Most excellent overview of a worthy story. Looking forward to viewing more, thanks!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words. 🙂
I found this channel by accident and am glad I did; I'm now a subscriber. I like learning and being entertained at the same time.
Love you channel kelly. Keep up the great work!🙂
Thanks so much, James! 😊
Great video, thank you for this. I'm curious to know, is there any record of how Egyptians felt about the consistent presence of Greek/Macedonian rulers in place of their Egyptian pharaohs? Was there any rebellions or coups that would challenge these classes?
You're very welcome. 🙂 Great question! I'm sure there were smaller groups of people here and there who didn't like that the pharaohs weren't of Egyptian descent, but seeing as the Ptolemies were the longest-reigning dynasty, it doesn't seem like there were any serious threats or challenges to their rule. Not to mention that the later Ptolemies adopted more Egyptian customs and traditions, which would have appeased the Egyptians.
Many many thanks. Simply perfect summary
Thank you! We're so happy that you found our video useful.
A little confused but pleased with content. Keep up da great work.

It would have been a wonder to behold. Thank you for watching!

Love that family tree, looks like mine
Imagine the fanfare if Alexander's tomb were found in our generation
fasinating
Good.
Now we need to understand the relations between Ptolemic dynasty and Jewish Hashmonean
dynasty and high priests!!!
Another good suggestion for another day 🙂
There were also Pharaohs of Nubian, Libyan, Persian, Macedonian, and Roman descent
Loool... let's remember to call them what they are "invaders" and culture appropriaters. In regards to the nubians they were native. Seeing foreigners dress like africans is hilarious... to actually know we was that influencial speaks volumes and answers why ya'll always be biting our culture 😂 once you go black you never go back... true on so many levels.
My Fellow Egypt Ptolemy and Alexander The Great in Egypt Macedonia and Greece
The Greatest Family tree membership of the Dynasty my heart fellow Greek-Egypt and Macedon-Egypt in Alexandria City.
Was Melbourne part of Ptolemy's area? I see a map of Melbourne behind you. :)
When Arsinoe II returned to Egypt and married his brother Ptolemy II, they actually inscribed a line in their coinage: "Arsinoe who loves her brother"😀 I guess how people view consanguineous marriage was a bit different back then, at least in Egypt
It was familial love not sexual. Yes she and her brother married and their descendants took it a little further, but the epithet of Philadelphus referred to fraternal love.
I can’t speak for Egyptian but I know Greek has different words for different kinds of Love (spousal vs familial)
Black with wooly hair not like them white washed painting they sell us it’s all lies
Egyptian Pharaohs have married their sisters since the 1st dynasty.
That’s 3,000 ish years of history, which is why Egyptians accepted the practice by the Pharaoh.
Wow so that’s almost 10
generations removed from the first Ptolemy to Cleopatra. I do genealogy (addicted) and in my mind, that would be like the time difference between me and my grandparents from the mid-late 1600s to early 1700s. It’s amazing to think in these warp speed advancing times, think how much the daily ways of life and culture have changed since your 10x great grandparents. In my case, many would be immigrants settling in a burgeoning Quebec and the eastern shores of North America (and in the Gulf settling the port of New Orleans) within a decade or so after the pilgrims landed.
It's fascinating to think about indeed. Thanks for watching!
Cleopatra was a gifted individual and I'm pretty certain she was proficient in the languages that she spoke but I don't think she was as proficient as Audrey Hepburn was who could participate in moderate discussions in the languages that she spoke. The proof of this is from the source that mentions her linguistic abilities - Plutarch. He said that often times she would meet those ethnicities without the use of an interpreter meaning she used an interpreter or kept one as backup meaning she wasn't an advanced speaker of those languages. Also, he didn't say she spoke Egyptian only that she made the effort to learn it. It would naturally be better than those other languages she knew because it had to be given top priority but knowing how complex the Egyptian language was, I don't think she still spoke it confidently.
Cleopatra spoke Egyptian and many other languages.🌎💞
She spoke Koine Greek, Classical Latin, Hebrew, Parthian, Median, and Ethiopian!
She must've been so intelligent. Imagine the education she got, both as pharaoh and direct descendant of a Greek noble who himself became the first Hellenic pharaoh. Imagine how much knowledge they had!
Very true. Many is almost an understatement lol.
The original name of the country is Kemet, it means the Black Land!!! She wasn't speaking Egyptian, she was speaking Kemetic!!! Jeesh 😒
And how do you know this? They can't get history from 2 weeks ago right much less 2000 years ago
Alexander's successor were made satraps? kind of surprised how much of the Persian system of governance stayed even after Alexander took over
There's one sibling you forgot to add. Tryphaena was the sister of Ptolemy IX, Ptolemy X, Cleopàtra IV, and Cleopatra Selene I. Tryphaena and Cleopatra IV were dangerous rivals in the Seleucid Empire. They were married to the Seleucid brothers Antiochus VIII and Antiochus IX. They were also rivals. When Cleopatra IV lost against her sister Tryphaena in battle, Tryphaena insisted that her husband Antiochus VIII execute her. He couldn't execute a woman. Tryphaena had her sister Cleopatra IV executed by herself. Hearing this Antiochus IX was furious. He was married to Cleopatra IV. He had Tryphaena captured and tortured to death........
Thanks for the feedback! There's way too many siblings to fit in. 😄
We need more channels like this, too bad all the views go to people dancing and making faces.
what in the Alabama is going on with the family tree
I really hope, the day we find Cleo the 7th tomb, we don't discover Habsburg chin or other extreme body features upon the xrays
Anything is possible. Let's just hope her tomb is found!
i would love to discuss Alaxader the great with you. what first hand account do we have to prove that alexander exist? i mean how could he conquer that much territory if he was engage in a 10 year war with persia? and was a general 13 years.
Bro do you really think Alexander did not exist? The reasons it was easy for him to conquer are:
1. His army was the best of the best in his time.
2. Persia in 330 was not the Persia from the 5th century. Persia was weaker.
3. Alexander was young but already very experienced, he was cavalry commander in 338 against the greeks.
4. Some Persian governors sided with Alexander.
Typical flat earther who thinks nothing exist until he can see and feel first hand
@@morningcoffee1283 well silly everything else is just speculation.
It’s all fake history
Phalanx was a superior formation and they were well trained and well equipped by the government. Also had other Greek city state armies and navies from the Hellenic League.
Also devine providence.

Damm
That family tree made my head spin & gag. The tree didn't branch very much! If the Macedonians were against the marriage of Ptolomy sisters. Was it because the Greeks had laws against such close familiar marriages? Cousins were probably common. But sibling marriage we don't see in Greco-Roman culture.
Zeus: My people are hypocrites
Would thar make her the last ruler to understand hieroglyphics?
Not necessarily. It's possible to be able to speak a language without being able to read it. Also, there were two other writing systems for Egyptian at that time beside Hieroglyphs (those being Hieratic and Demotic), so it's possible she could read and write Egyptian in something other than Hieroglyphics.
how did they not come out looking like Swamp Thing?
If you look at some of the busts and depictions of the Ptolemaic pharaohs, you can see signs of some deformities.
While good the Ptolemies had more children per generation not mentioned here who were important figures. I can understand keeping to the main branch though. Ptolemy II had 3 children with Berenike not two. Ptolemy III had 6 children with his wife, not two. Ptolemy VI had 4 children with his sister not 2, some sources say 5. Ptolemy Physcon had 5 children (daughter called Tryphaena is not mentioned here) with his niece wife and 1 with his sister wife.
Thanks for your feedback. We obviously mentioned only the most notable, otherwise this video would have gone on forever. 😅
This shit is to abstract for my brain. Are there any historical record about their health?
There aren't too many ancient sources, but I believe there are some online journals that write about the incest and the effects that had on their health/appearance.
There is one last Ptolemy missing though, the son of Cleopatra Selene, and Juba II, king of Mauretania. Indeed he did not rule over Egypt, but Mauretania, like his father.
Celopatra is just a title..there were many Celopatras...
Yes, that's very true.
Incorrect Cleopatra means "fathers Joy" in Greek.
Although true, there were many.
It's clear you guys are big fans of Bayek 😃
lol true xD
Bayek and Alexios made me interested and intrigued in history :D
I don't remember this episode of House of the Dragon 🤔
Haha, right? Thanks for watching! 🙂
But who was Cleopatra's mother.
Her mother is unknown, although there is some speculation that it was Cleopatra V Tryphaena.
the chances of her been a black woman is almost zero, as there is no record of a Ptolemy ever marrying an egyptian
@@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia Yes, I personally believe this to be true that Cleopatra VII was a legitimate queen. However, the roman writers hated her and tried to make her an illegitimate queen. Therefore they wrote that her parents were Ptolemy XII and some concubine of Ptolemy's. Strabo wrote that Berenice IV was the only true legitimate child and the rest of the children were children of Ptolemy XII and concubines. I believe this is a mixture of fact and fiction.
The thumbnail has an image of Pharoah Necho II of the 26th Dynasty of Egypt. He wasn’t Ptolemaic and existed long before Macedon’s rise I.e in the time of Assyria as the world power. He was the last native Egyptian (Nubian) rulers. A bit of clickbait.
That is Ptolemy I’s sculpture. That’s common knowledge. And the last native ruler of Egypt was Nectanebo II. And native Egyptian is not a synonym for Nubian.
The uraeus is very clearly in a later style than that of the 26th dynasty, and is also exactly the style used by the Ptolemies. Even if we didn't have very good evidence to say it's Ptolemy (and we do), the physical evidence would still suggest that it is _a_ Ptolemy. Certainly not Necho II
Nubians we'rent native they were consider outsider like the Greeks and the Persians
GRR Martin might have gotten the inbreeding marriage idea for his ASOIAF books from either the Habsburgs or the Ptolomeic dynasty.
Good background into the last Egyptian Dynasty and their ruler. Can you believe there are idiots that actually think Cleopatra is black, despite all this...
Thanks for watching!
Targareyens don't even come close to Ptolemys lol.
Yikes! How many Cleopatras got stuck in a wash basin and had to ask their step-brother for help?
Stepbro I'm stuck help
right but did they actually breed or not? often sister-brother marriages are simply to abolish the threat of outsider influence via marriage. the sister gets impregnated by a chosen person with no legal claim, and the brother acts as uncle-father. this can be more stable than the traditional patrilineal way, where the outside mother can often teach her son to side with her family line over the king's.
I believe there is enough evidence of inbreeding to suggest that they did indeed have children together.
Eurocentric point of view regarding the Interlopers in Kemet.This is all Eurocentric history! I looked forward to seeing the vidro of Nubian history . Cool content though
When you consider the long history of Egypt, the Nubians ruled for a relatively short time, and they intermixed with the northern Egyptian peoples
I am after curiosity created by AC origins😁
Συνοπτικό αλλά πλήρες
I braced myself for the inevitable Ptolemy the Motherlover, but it still made me cringe.
Yep... 😬 Thanks for watching!
☀️
ok but how did they did inbreeding with their siblings while also not having kids with major gene issues? like nowadays it is very dangerous to marry your cousin even, because you basically risk the danger of having problematic children
Well first there would have to be defective genes in the first place. Incest doesn’t cause or create defective genetics it just passes them on or increase the likelihood of it.
If you look at the pics on the coins, you can tell they were a product of incest. Coins represent the true photo of what the people look like, not the statues. As you can see, Cleopatra was not a raving beauty. However, she could converse in many different languages, very charismatic, very good in bed. She was very magnetic.
"Married her cousin-uncle" well then...
Yep... a lot of that happening in ancient Egypt. Thanks for watching!

atleast they kept the name simple :D Ptolemy.. and Cleopatra.. easy to remember. probably the other reason to get themselves confused with who's to marry who's to lay with.. imagine ptolemy wanting to have sex with someone named cleopatra.. there are 10 cleopatra's in the family.. you wouldnt exactly know which one is your close relative.. like.. if its your sister or distant relative.. its just mess caused by a name..
that being said.. the names are simple atleast.. ptolemy of ptolemaic dynasty.. :D
Oh, my God! I cannot even begin to say how fully elated I was by this video. I genuinely love how 'the (Lady) Kelly' was thorough, concise, correct, and all around pleasant. God be with her, most assuredly. And, she is right, 'the Ptolemaic dynasty' was not Egyptian; in truth, they were 'Graeco-Macedonian.' Oh, by the way, 'Gaius Julius Caesar IV, Roman dictator in perpetuum' and 'Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator, Pharaoh and Queen Regnant of Ptolemaic Egypt' begat three children: (a) Ptolemaĩos Philopátōr Philomḗtōr Kaĩsar (born 0047 B.C.), (b) Thea Musa Ourania (born 0046 B.C.), and (c) Cleopatra (VIII) Caesaria 'of Jerusalem' (born posthumously on September 023, 0044 B.C.). Caesar was assassinated on March 015, 0044 B.C. 'Cleopatra of Jerusalem' is the mother of 'Joseph ben Jacob, Nazarene carpenter' (born 0029 B.C.). The REAL reasons why 'the angel of The LORD' instructed Joseph to take his wife 'Miriam bat Heli' (born in 0024 B.C.) and the baby 'Emmanuel Yehoshua' (born on September, Wednesday the 11th, 0003 B.C., or the Year 3999 After Creation) to Egypt - to avoid 'the Massacre of the Innocents' - was for these reasons. (a) in fulfillment of a dual prophecy in Hosea 11:01 (K.J.V.)- "When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt" and recorded in Matthew 02:15 (K.J.V.)- "And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son." (b) Caesar Augustus and Joseph were second full-blood maternal cousins! Augustus, the founder and first Emperor of the Roman Empire, held a provincial court in Aegyptus. 'The Holy Family' was safe under the guardianship of their blood relative, 'the Emperor's Majesty.' (c) Both Joseph and Mary were of Graeco-Macedonian Ptolemaic descent by the way of their respective maternal ancestries. Not only were they patrilineal Judahites and of the priestly Levite bloodline, they were begotten from all of the major and minor Old World dynasties. Jesus Christ is 'the King of Kings' not only because He is 'the Creator manifested in the flesh' but because of His human Adamite royal dynastic ancestry. Although not descending biologically from Joseph, the title and inheritances of 'King' and of an 'High Priest' would pass to Him legally. So, in this sense, 'Yeshua The Nazarene' would also qualify as 'Pharaoh of Egypt.' Furthermore, tracing up through their Judahite and Graeco-Macedonian lineages, Joseph and Mary also legitimately descend from the ancient ethnic Egyptians, and are heirs to those dynasties. Being in Egypt and departing from it was completely arranged by 'Our Father Who art in Heaven' because He does take dynastic bloodlines seriously. This is why royalty, in addition to biological descendancy, is ultimately a calling, it is ordained, and it is an anointing. Now, when reading 'the Holy Scriptures,' the geographical politics and the way History played out makes even more sense now, huh? "Make Egypt 'Ptolemaic' Again!" 😉
Thanks so much, Elijah. 😊
@Eminem
What is with the BCE nonsense? BC & AD (Anno Domini) is the tradition and everyone knows about it. Even if it may not be super-accurate. And you are also have been butchering the pronunciation of the Greek names. Please educate yourself if you want to be the expert.
Have you never heard it before?
BCE, Before Common Era.
@@mariatheresavonhabsburg Thanks for cont. the conversation. Yes of course I heard it before, but that is neoliberal perverted politically correct speech. As their motto is "control speech and you control the narrative". They destroy history, they destroy images, they destroy statues, they destroy churches, temples, mosques, archeological sites and many other. History is history. Symbolism over substance. If you do not know history you tend to repeat the same mistakes. Example: My uncle's parents were Greek but he was born in Africa and then immigrated to the US. Is he an African American then? No. He is as white as they come. Politically correct language distorts the truth and reality. I hope that you understand my point of view. Cheers

ALSO THE HIEROGLIPHIC reliefs i have seen show Ptolemy as a dark skin man. how is that if he was from greece?
Because even foreign pharaohs were depicted as Egyptian looking. It’s just conforming to Egyptian art standards, it doesn’t reflect reality.
@@fabianhale845 well if that is the case, why didn't he depict Serapis like an Egyptian? Especially if he wanted the Egyptians to worship him? On another note the reality is that a foreign pharaoh was running Egypt. would one be prideful of that? Especially if it is labeled Greco-Egyptian. would you think the Grecian aspect of that should be respected?? i am starting to think this whole Grecian empire thing is a scam. too many holes in that story and not enough evidence. finally, when has the conqueror ever conformed to the conquered? you are flat out making things up.
@@cymba729 The evidence is all from Ptolemaic Egypt. You can’t call stuff a scam because of no reason. That’s really narrow minded thinking. And the Ptolemies didn’t conform, they just paid lip service to Egyptian culture. No different from the Libyan, Nubian, Assyrian, and Persian rulers. Or did you forget Egypt was ruled by foreigners before the Ptolemies? Stop thinking like a conspiracy theorist. Serapis has a Greek appearance because he was a Greco Egyptian deity. That’s not difficult.
@@cymba729 And the fact you’re calling Hellenistic empires a scam when Greek culture spread from north Africa to Central Asia just shows you don’t know what your talking about. Get an education. Explain the Ptolemaic, Seleucid, and Antigonid empires then.
@@fabianhale845 Egyptian history does not support your claims. who are you referencing.
It should be made abundantly clear that Macedonia at the time of Alexander was yet another *Greek* city-state/kingdom like Athens, Sparta, Corinth etc., not a foreign nation/state/ethnic entity. Macedonians, just like Athenians, Spartans, Corinthians etc, were Greeks; when narrating Greek history, it's highly suspicious mentioning the former without the latter. I've never heard modern historical accounts of Spartans, for example, without a clear mention of their Greek identity. We live in strange and absurd times were cultural appropriation, especially of Macedonia - in this case - by Slavs, is commonplace. So, be more sensitive about it, you should know better...
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Hail to the Divine Alexander and the Divine Ptolemaic Kings and Queens!
Also Nassau and Suffolk!
@@jayschwartz3203I don't know anything about that
The Ptolemaic dynasty was more or less a an Greek Macedonia colonial Kingship rule. Just like the "English and French" in the 18th centaury, which was super imposed on the Ancient Egyptian people by Alexandria the Greek death and conquest. They were so obsess by the Egyptians Pharos kingship and wanting to be like them, Ptolemy V did well but at same time rule with an iron fix and was totally disconnected from the people though. However, Cleopatra VII might have been different from his generation because she was seen as more African Egyptian because she spoke their language as compared to her predecessors and even though she got married to her younger brother as per traditions demands to keep the blood lineage, its was ceremonial for her and she change the status quo by doing her own thing.....That is why till date no archeologist really knows the true identity of Cleopatra VII, everything in documentary videos are all based on assumptions and probabilities.
As a reminder there is no language called Egyptian and the name Egypt itself is a Greek word. However the original name is Kamer or Kemet which simply means in the ""bows of the sand."" Interestingly, when you type " which language did the ancient Egyptian spoke into google, huh, it says, their language has since been dead 1500 years ago, i mean how ?? For their information, they are in existing and they have passed on the oral traditions from generation to generation to generations and they are not dead...!!!
Anyway, i like your video and tutorial keep it, but do more research to stand out among the lot.... Thanks
Kemet means black land in reference to the Nile’s silt deposits after floods.
It says that because Ancient Egyptian _is_ extinct. Its successor, Copic, still exists, but Ancient Egyptian is as extinct as Old English. It died out with the end of paganism in Egypt, since by then it was only a liturgical language.
Thanks bro, the Greeks didn't do anything mind blowing in Kemet, they basically inherited GREATNESS, FROM BLACK PEOPLE!!!😒👏👏👏

What is this white man"s history I've been watching? I take an Afro-krunkist view, that is to say the correct view, of history, and having studied and deciphered many Earth Wind and Fire album covers, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that Cleopatra's mother was a proud black Queen who made her way to Alexandria from Wakanda, crept into the royal bedchamber, and climbed on top of old man Ptolemy, and when the deed was done, cried out triumphantly, "Surprise, m-fer, yall been Afro-krunked!"
I love how the 'white man' bust that dont have a scratch on it after thousands of years 😆😅🤣
no white people are native in every continent. is so sad and thirsty
I'm sorry, that was a bit too confusing and hard to follow along. It's not a great subject for a CZcams video, and I think that it requires a full in-depth analysis of the tree in order to understand it. It does not appeal to most people today I would think in American culture that is. I also don't like how they stayed in Alexandria most of the time. Human nature is likely to stay the same, and I am not surprised that the elite groups would like to avoid the minorities in order to survive at the bare minimum. Cleopatra VII might be the most admirable figure here, but nonetheless, not a very admirable dynasty and not much to glean from. You gave it your best.
Also, why did I get this video in the mail as a recommendation to watch 1 year from the time this was made?

This is sickening and disgusting....
None of the depictions of Alexander the Great and the Ptolemys look anything like their likeness.
Unfortunately not. Thanks for watching!
@@WorldHistoryEncyclopedia There is a tomb in India, that is allegedly Alexander the Greats. I believe it is more likely to be his living likeness. The Ptolemies and Cleopatras that are well worn and has broken and chipped are more likely to be authentic. The artwork that is continually presented are fake, clearly. I've visited the Greek display invthe British museum and the Greek display is fake for the most part..One broken ear and or finger on a full size marble statue, nearly 3000 years old is clearly faked

Not true. Cleopatra really was incredibly smart, charming and powerful. She very easily could have turned out another way due to the long history of incest, but thankfully she didn't.

Philadelphus means brotherly love. Not sisterly love. Lathyros does not mean chickpea. It's sweet pea. You are also criticizing intermarriage which as a scholar (if you were one,) you would have to accept the zeitgeist of that era. You sound as woke as they come. Shame
Proper title should be "Rise Of The White Pharoahs", because that's the first time in history that Caucasians entered the African land, Kemet, long after its rightful indigenous rulers, the Nubians, tried to reclaim and restore the true land of their ancestors in the 25th dynasty 😁
Blacks try to claim and cling to the false narrative that Egyptians were black
The Nubians were introduced in Egypt as slaves captured in Southern parts of africa, and only one dinasty in the area they inhabited (but not the main one). All the Egyptian pharaohs weren't Nubian or blacks
North Africans aren't blacks, blacks are subsaharan
The 25th dynasty, like any Nubians, was a foreign dynasty no different from the Libyan, Hyksos, and Persian dynasties. Nubians and Egyptians were not synonymous. In fact being North Africans and near eastern people, native Egyptians were already Caucasian. In fact, being located on a spot connecting three continents, Egypt was divers for their entire existence and not monochromatic or homogenous. And for the record, Caucasian doesn’t biologically mean white or European.
@@fabianhale845 Typical Eurocentric fantasies, backed by nothing but wishful thinking. That entire paragraph would make perfect sense if you started each sentence with "I wish"
@@kharldojo7137 No it’s truth. Get an education.
@@fabianhale845 Since when is wishful thinking "truth"? Go ahead and keep dreaming without touching a single book on the African origins of ancient Egyptian civilization, but following a bunch of Nazi inspired internet trolls who don't use the scientific principal to do their research, but hopes and imagination. 🤣🤣🤣😆😆
