As A Greek woman, thank you for keeping her dignity. It brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for loving her so much and protecting her. You are truly worthy of her. The people of Greece still love the people of Egypt.
Together we broke Erdogan in the Mediterranean, Egyptian LNG gateway to Europe is Greece.. we have a great past, great present and a great future 🇪🇬 ❤️ 🇬🇷
In time the Greek and Roman were mercenary to Egypt army. Egypt never welcomed Alexander the great to take control of their country any more than the indigenous Americans welcomed the genocide of millions of black people are massacred. Their gold & silver taken, their tombs robbed , 97% of their artifacts taken. Their culture, religion and rituals to God removed. Those who are rich became impovished, all their history removed. Their military caused 10 to 1 females. They took black queens for breeding.. the ancients were accurate record keepers. The fact that she spoke 5 languages & educated shoes me she was an African queen. Please show me such credentials for any queen in Greek or Roman were women were not considered goddesses or well treated. I know it makes you feel better by the state in which empire building was done, but we will not settle for anymore of your lies. Read Revelation 2:9, Jeremiah 5:15-17, Isaiah 5:15-20. Very few people from Roman or Greek were educated outside of Africa 🌍. Name their made up universities. We know you whites out much of the history of the black civilization you destroyed that you say we welcomed in. I had indigenous ancestors from Africa 🌍 and America the slavery of Greeks and Roman's were even more uncivilized. These empire nations were built on lies & extinction of the indigenous black people.
Egypt, Rome & Greece is different mix today. Empire building time was brutal at best. Our ancients wrote about it or memorized hundreds of years of books, because this was not their first run in with invaders... the only ones glorified were the takers who came to steal, kill & destroy...
I’m neither Egyptian nor Greek but I love history and specially I love ancient Egypt history. Netflix rewriting of history to fit their ignorant minds is disgusting. Thank you for releasing a REAL documentary about such an important historical figure. ❤
There is a difference between rewriting history and entertaining the possibility that new evidence is accurate. I mean they did find the body of her sisters with her mother and her mother's remains were African. There are also depictions of her son having the facial structures of a darker skinned man. There is evidence to support the theory, just because it does not fit the old story does not mean it is wrong. The fact that you can't be open minded to the possibility we got history wrong is disgusting and you disgust me for it.
I grew up in Bulgaria and I am appalled of the woke garbage courtesy of Netflix. So sick of indoctrinated and incompetent fanatics trying to re-write history. Thank you for the well researched and informative documentary.
@@mbessodedou Many blck Americans and some continental subsaharans are displaying a deep seated inferiority complex. They are ashamed of their west and central african heritage because there is no significant civilization coming out of that geographical area of Africa as they think. They want to fake north African Mediterranean transcontinental Afroasiatic Egypt's heritage and join it inorder to combact their low self esteem and convince themselves that they are a race of civilised humanbeings in contrast to the widely known conception of them of being cannibals who only could build mud huts and dance. And they ignore history, documented studies and ancient inscriptions They ignore that their shape does not resemble the ancient Egyptians at all They are not even like any of the people of North Africa that's why they use photoshops alot in the Egyptian artifacts to persuade their ignorants by those lies and do not show the Egyptian artifacts that show them as captives under Egyptians feet Gttrggh
As a Romanian I support Egypt with it's history and culture. It's much better when you see egyptians telling their own story. Much respect to mister Hawass, one of the greatest egyptologist in our times. Same for all the team and specialists who worked to make this documentary happen. We want more. Congratulations for your effort and dedication.
This is a true documentary. Actual historians, archeologists, and Egyptologists. Not pandering Netflix "empowerment", spearheaded by Jada Pinkett Smith with her Art School education. And please, no disrespect to people in theatre, dance and arts, but just as archeologist don't do choreography or theatre, same goes the other way around. People should defer to opinions voiced by professionals in that particular subject, is all I'm saying ...

As a caribbean woman of North African descent from my mother side I stand firmly with Egyptian 🇪🇬 and Greece 🇬🇷 they are entitled to tell their story, as it is.
@@silentrequiem1727 It is their history for it is their land's history, so stop the rubbish talk and hold your horses trying to defend the incomprehensible!
@@silentrequiem1727 Your ignorance is indeed stunning. Everyone who knows anything about mediterranean history knows that Egypt had been ruled by the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty for 300 years before Cleopatra. Cleopatra is a Greek name, it appears over and over in Greek mythology and as the name of lots and lots of Greek women. Alexander the Great's sister was also named Cleopatra. Everyone in the Ptolemaic dynasty was of Macedonian Greek descent, and they were famously xenophobic and disliked marrying outside of their own relatives because that would make their bloodline "impure" and potentially give cause for these outsiders to try and take power from them. Another thing is, modern Greeks are still direct descendants of Ancient Greeks. Modern Egyptians are also direct descendants of Ancient Egyptians. Do you think that any time the ruling class of an area changed, the entire populace just vanished into the air and was replaced in totality by the newcomers? Because if you actually think that, you need to give yourself a stern slap, look long in the mirror and ask yourself why you'd come to such a ridiculous conclusion. Egypt had a populace of several million people when any outside invaders first managed to conquer their kingdom. The conquering armies at that time were in the tens of thousands at most. How do you think that people in the tens of thousands could replace millions? American history is an *anomaly* in world history. Nowhere else such massive genocide and replacement ever took place. Nowhere. Even in North America it was only possible due to a massive difference in technology, the fact that the newcomers numbered in the millions and because they brought diseases with them that wiped out 90% of the locals. It's nothing but American idiocy to think that their history could be compared to anyone else's.
As an Egyptian woman I'm very grateful to all the makers of this documentary.. and I want to say something... Africa is full of many, different, beautiful and culturally rich civilizations. Africa is the most diverse continent in terms of cultural, civilizational and historical diversity. I wish Afro-centrics love their culture and teach us about it and their history instead of stealing ours!
peotect your history cause those Afrocenrtics are about to get from khmt to Sumeria/Babylon next and try to steal your History cause they have no recorded one.
Unfortunately they hate our own history and culture which is why theyre trying to appropriate and change it and in that endeavor they are apparently expanding their agenda outside of the states at the cost of making the rest of the world hate us more then they already do. America is a strange place to be right now.
Now this. THIS IS a TRUE documentary about Cleopatra. I'm from the Philippines, currently studying works of our National Artist Painter Juan Luna. One of his LARGE paintings is currently in Museo del Prado called "La Muerte de Cleopatra" [The Death of Cleopatra] and EVEN HE knows Cleopatra's true ethnicity based on his painting. Not that terrible revisionist "docu-series" Netflix is peddling. How come this video ain't blowing up yet?
I am not Egyptian but I love History. It is one of my greatest passions and I believe that it should be shown accurately according to all historical evidence. The racist discourse that I have seen aimed at the Egyptian people in the wake of Netflixs mockumentary has horrified me and I am shocked that nobody has been talking about it. I fear for the day that these horrible people seek to destroy what they call "fake artifacts" in order to take Egypt back for "true Egyptians" whatever that means. Thank you for this documentary. I enjoyed it.
The museums that display our stolen pieces now support them and falsify history with them. Worse, they distort the artifacts to fit their lie. They designed a mask for Tutankhamun with completely different features to fit their story. Indeed, we are worried about our heritage, and we must recover these pieces at any cost,
Thank you very much for your support, telling the truth, and rejecting the racism with which Egyptians are treated. I hope to see you soon in Egypt on a wonderful journey. ❤🥰🇪🇬🇪🇬
@@sarahesham2232 Oh the sheer vile nature of the things being said, its too much. They want to scream about how wrong racism is and then they turn around and spew such wicked hate at a whole country of people. Its just awful. Oh I would love to go to Egypt, I want to see everything.

@@rosemartasgaminghoard Egyptians survived for thousands of years no one can take an inch never worry about Egyptians. I assure u they chose the wrong nation to mess with. Ppl in Egypt love their country to death more than u can imagine
As a Greek woman i want to thank everyone who participated in this documentary and brought out the true story as it is about the much loved queen Cleopatra. I thank all the Egyptian people for all the love they have given us since ancient times and continue feeling the same! Watching this masterpiece only gives you touching emotions, pride and awe. Queen Cleopatra was of Greek origin but she was also Egyptian, her people adored her and adores her still, she was their queen and surely she felt the same towards them! It is a honor to you, it is a worth for you! Cleopatra is yours, history is yours! We love you, thank you!!!🥰
Very well said. It's about keeping the Queen's legacy alive. I think she would be honor that every culture sees her and her accomplishments from their point of view. She thought of herself as a goddess and all gods wants us to see ourselves in their image.
Fairy tales. You're talking about "Cleopatra" as if she died fifty or a hundred years ago. The truth is, it's unknown who she is, if she existed basically "Cleopatra". But this is what we used to hear from “archaeologists” and their followers from journalists. They create a story about something ancient (images, figures, carvings, statues..) in order to attract and impress the public and supporters. In fact, they do not know what, who, when, and how...
I know Egypt belongs to earth's rightful rulers, not any European clone created genetically by a black African, who then killed, raped kids, enslaved,and got wealthy off innocent bloodshed from he who created his existence shall perish.. Whoever so is with these immortal acts are all the same, and are condemned. BRIMSTONE LIGHTENING, EARTHQUAKE, FIRE, AND PLAGUES SHALL REACH THEM, AND THEIR GENERATION TO COME IN THE NAME OF JAAH RASTAFARI, HAILE EMANUEL
As an Armenian, I’ve always heard the story of how my grandmother was born and raised in Egypt, that my great grandparents survived the Armenian genocide and found refuge in Alexandria, Egypt and created a beautiful life there and had 4 children. Needless to say that I’ve always been fascinated by the Egyptian culture and their rich ancient history. I’m so glad I stumbled across this wonderful documentary! Thank you ❤️
May you live a long, long life, and may you always cherish your proud heritage. Love from Greece. My great-grandfather was in Egypt as well as he worked on the Suez Canal. Egypt is wonderful and so are you.
@@TheHoodVoice2024 No. Pure Soul and the Armenian people as well as mine have been persecuted and gen o cided. And it all started with "you are not the rightful this or that" and you are not like this or us. Or you are imposters. When in fact it is their homeland and they are indigenous. When in fact it is my homeland and I am indigenous. What do you not understand? What? tell me? Want to know how the Holocaust began everything. They were in cahoots with the Tpeople that continue to to this to the Armenians. Want to tell me why its important to learn about modern history along with hatshepsut? What Pure Soul wrote above is because the Armenians along with the Greeks see the warning signs. It does not happen overnight. You should see that for you own soul's purpose.
Been waiting for this ever since that Abomination Netflix is releasing. Well done for revealing the truth about Egypt and Greece's role in Egyptian history. 🇪🇬 ❤️🇬🇷
I didn’t know Egyptians had the same myth as we did in Greece about how Alexandros the Great was conceived.. meaning the divine intervention of Zeus (in Greece) impregnating his mother. It’s quite fascinating how myths overlap and how powerful they are, stories is how humanity communicated
@@RUTHLESSambition5 won? 😅 You feel it’s a win to appropriate the culture of two countries you have zero connection to? You feel it’s a win to alter history because you feel you have no history of your own? You definitely won the laughter of the entire world, so congrats 🥳 I guess that was your goal
As a Greek man, thank you for your excellent work. The truth matters, and the fact that you rose to defend it honors both you and us. Thank you to all the excellent experts who assisted you in your work and provided such a wealth of information, leaving no room for Jada Smith’s narcissistic malignancy and Afrocentric obsessions.
Im just glad everyone is seeing the black supremacist and blackwashing race hustlers are being exposed and the world sees how brainwashed these lunatics are. some of the most racist people, they without any evidence except their feelings they try to displace any culture if they want it for themselves. such jealousy and hilarious made up fairy tales. I been to egypt, they are not black and the Egyptians i talk with when i'm visiting do not have a high opinion of africans, i hear the N word often in arab countries, that and anti jewish stuff, so which is why they are so insulted by american activists taking a dump on their history.
@@cleartocloseproperties A single 'expert' is the one trying to say that those 2000 year old bones are of Cleopatra's murdered sister/half-sister... except that the bones have been moved and touched so often that they cannot get an uncontaminated sample and that they didn't find the skull. So that doesn't prove anything. Anyone can pull a bone out of the ground, without conclusive testing, and go... "I believe this is a bone from Cleopatra's family! BELIEVE ME!" She has no hard evidence that conclusively says that the skeleton is of Arsinoe IV. Those bones are also still in 'identification limbo'.
I’m a history major who likes to research in my free time about historical events and ancient civilizations and empires, and I must say that you did a great job on this historically accurate documentary, I would score this as a 10/10 for historical accuracy. Ever since I heard about what Netflix did with their “documentary”, I’ve been researching more and more about Cleopatra and The Ptolemaic Kingdom. Forget Netflix, this right here is what you call a documentary. I hope Egypt decides to make their own series about Cleopatra, and to one day pass on my historical knowledge to the next generation, who don’t know how important history truly is.
@Boycott, test your knowledge on Acient civilization by answering this question. Was there a high or low incidents of healthy or unhealthy birth rate issues amongst the population of the Egyptian and Ptolemaic Dynasties?
@@muntusekmet5154 I told you to bug off, it's history and you and your people can't change history known by people and what you have done to many people you have invaded and killed!
I stand with the Egyptian people, and their own right to depict the history that is solely theirs. I love Egyptian History, and the Egyptian people . I support them fully on their stance on culture appropriation from the Producer, and Director whom clearly have an agenda. 🇪🇬 Egypt for Egyptians ! Thank you Curtis Ryan woodside, and Dr. Zahi Hawass for preserving Egyptian history, and a superb documentary about Cleopatra. Egyptian culture is deeply rooted into my heart being Mediterranean.
They should've and could've made their own documentary years ago when America first started doing movies and shows about Cleopatra history but they didn't until now because of racism. That has nothing to do with culture but hate which goes against who she was as a Queen.
@@miastupid7911 Honey, I benefit from GOD's good grace not anything this world has to offer. However, modern Egyptians don't know anything about their heritage so I doubt if they can teach anyone else anything. I'm glad they're making their own documentary which they done a few times before but no one watch it. Maybe this time it will get some coverage. It won't be the first time the "Black" community open the door for another culture to advance itself.
I am British, however, I love history with a passion and I have felt complete frustration and anger about the whole Netflix fantasy 'documentary'. I am angry that Netflix are allowing this kind of false depiction! I believe passionately that history needs to be shown accurately. So much evidence that gives us a picture of Cleopatra! This documentary is very informative and educational and I would definitely recommend watching this for anyone who wants to learn the real facts of this historically great woman and era. Thank you for producing this!
Netflix did release "The Woman King" trying to romanticize Black slavers to manipulate history to try and show that slavery was initiated the slave trade and not Black tribes capturing other black tribes and selling POWs
If you allow me a recommendation You can see the 1999 movie "CLEOPATRA" starring: Timothy Dalton as Julio Cesar, Billy Zane (actor of the movie "Titanic") as Marco Antonio and the Beautiful LEONOR VARELA as Queen CLEOPATRA. IT IS a more dramatic and suggestive version, which is far from Elizabeth Taylor's version, let's say it is DARKER and SERIOUS and I am not referring to the fact that the actress was AFRO although she is not the WHITER of the actresses LEONOR VARELA gave a GREAT interpretation of CLEOPATRA. Totally recommended 👍👍 I would like to know your OPINION about this 1999 movie.
I am from Turkey and I support the Egyptians. This is the theft of history in a very despicable way. The Egyptians should not be silent about this. I hope that they will attack Hollywood, Netflix and anyone who imagines that he can change the ancient and great Egyptian history that we all knew all over the world.🇹🇷❤️🇪🇬
this documentary should be shared everywhere in the world right now, this documentary honestly puts netflix to shame, isnt it better to listen to historians and academic professors rather than people who refer to the their grandmothers.

@Warehouse Kidd The Egyptians were angry about the previous movie, which played the role of Cleopatra, a white-skinned actress, but with this new movie from Netflix, the anger became greater because it is not an ordinary movie, it is a documentary, and this is what makes it necessary to transfer the reference truth because it is a documentary and not a fictional movie We do not have a distinction between people of black skin color because we have in Egypt there are all skin colors and all of them respect each other

I'm Thai living in Thailand and I support Egypt about this issue. I love the Egyptians especially Prof. Hawass speaking the truth out about her identity and keep the pride and dignity of the nation while slamming the ignorant out of the door. Thanks
What a wonderful documentary. Cleopatra has often been depicted exactly as the Romans wrote about her, a seductress and a villain. For so long, no one bothered to try and understand who she really was. It’s also wonderful to see so many Egyptian historians and experts involved! I know Mr. Hawass has long been a respected Egyptologist, but for far too long Egyptian history was something foreigners studied. It’s beautiful to see so many people connected to their own history, even though it should have always been this way. Thank you so much for making this! Much respect and love!

It is so important to retell history using the most accurate sources and evidence available at the present time.I just wish that this was on Netflix and not that nonsense that misrepresents the great Pharoah Cleopatra. I have boycotted that so-called documentary as I feel it is an insult to Egyptians and Greeks and most importantly to world history.
🤺☦🇷🇺Yes, you Cypriots are the Greek race, called Kittim (Kition - Achaeans), ancestors of Macedonians. But they got things wrong too. The Persians brought you Egyptians back to youe homeland, after 40 years of exile. Just like they've done with the Jews and all her subjects, after the cruel Babylonian rule, which exiled populations from their homeland, to Babylon. They were good to you, Egyptians
Helen I agree. This documentary was very informative. And I finally got to see what the statues representing Arsenoe and those of Cleopatras' children looked like. The historical facts about her daughter and grandson were fascinating.
@@zazaaziella16 yeah. So do the people defending the Netflix mocumentay, to be more precise. It's obvious to billions around the world that they have an agenda.
I support Egyptians 100%, I’m from England and have been obsessed with Ancient Egyptian history for most of my life, lost count of the amount of documentaries (real ones) I’ve watched and books I’ve read about ancient Egypt, their history is so rich and definitely something to be proud of course they’re protective of it, it’s infuriating that Jada picket just barges in and rewrite’s your history I’m so glad the Egyptian people are standing up and saying no.
Amazes me that you jump to assumptions without even knowing me….you know what they say about people who Assume. If my opinion triggered you so much that you had to respond with an accusation about my character (someone you don’t even know or met) I suggest you stay home for the foreseeable future and not talk to anybody
Watching this, ( I’m greek), i was feeling that ms Martinez was representing my country, better than any contemporary greek archeologist would, even I know that she’s from the other side of earth.👍🙏🏻👏🏻🇬🇷🇩🇲
Now THIS is a proper documentary! Beautifully shot, edited, and presented. Thank you very much for not only presenting and preserving Egyptian history and culture, but also it’s importance and impact on our collective human history.
As an Englishman, we were always taught Cleopatra was of Greek origin. Even when in the year 1961, the year I was born, Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra in the movie, it was always known that she was Greek. This is the documentary which I will be showing my grandchildren, not the woke Netflix version, which is an outright lie. Thank you for making this wonderful documentary!
Even Elizabeth was a better-looking choice. While she was very white, she still had the right profile. That movie also wasn’t calling itself a documentary like Netflix was.
Amazing how Curtis was able to make a great documentary on such a small budget. Hint to netflix: All you need are better educated producers and directors.. someone like curtis would do wonders for your ratings and reputation.
I am beyond happy that this documentary was published by Real Historians, Archeologists and Egyptian Historians. Thank You so much for the years of work and complete lives dedicated on searching for the truth that is hidden or forgotten. I love history, I love human history the real history that is found in books, paintings, mural paintings, and many other objects that ancient people left for us to find, like human foot prints.❤THANK YOU SO MUCH I say this with all my heart❤ MY MOST SINCERE THANK YOU AND MY MOST ENOURMOUS ADMIRATION DR. ZAHI HAWASS ( MY HERO)❤. oh by the way I have many history college (about to get my degree in history) courses and funny thing I have never read a book that starts with "my grandma told me cleopatra was black" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that was hilarious to hear!!!!!! What the grandma has been alive since August 10, 30 BC🤷WOW!! I know Netflix has no standards but they need to start rethinking their logic😂
I’m Australian and completely infatuated with Egyptian history. I was completely disgusted in the Netflix documentary and glad to see the truth being told here!

Ancient Egypt civilisation started within Northeastern Africa" and the ancient Egyptians "were a people and society that emerged in the Saharo-Nilotic region of Northeast Africa".Keita also reviewed studies on the biological affinities of the Ancient Egyptian population and wrote in 1993 that the original inhabitants of the Nile Valley were primarily a variety of indigenous Northeast Africans from the areas of the desiccating Sahara and more southerly areas. He also added that whilst Egyptian society became more socially complex and biologically varied, the "ethnicity of the Niloto-Saharo-Sudanese origins did not change".

@@genuinediasporan6661 If you're interested in what Egyptians, Sudanese, etc look like, you can go there and see them. They're still there. There even continue to be communities of Nubians in upper Egypt and Sudan today.

Thank you for making this wonderful documentary! I’m embarrassed that Netflix came out with that awful show!
Robert Morkot wrote in 2005 that "The ancient Egyptians were not 'white' in any European sense, nor were they 'Caucasian'... we can say that the earliest population of ancient Egypt included African people from the upper Nile, African people from the regions of the Sahara and modern Libya, and smaller numbers of people who had come from south-western Asia and perhaps the Arabian peninsula."
Ancient Egypt civilisation started within Northeastern Africa" and the ancient Egyptians "were a people and society that emerged in the Saharo-Nilotic region of Northeast Africa".[69] Keita also reviewed studies on the biological affinities of the Ancient Egyptian population and wrote in 1993 that the original inhabitants of the Nile Valley were primarily a variety of indigenous Northeast Africans from the areas of the desiccating Sahara and more southerly areas.

@@genuinediasporan6661 and that is correct. They are and have always been very diverse. The big BUT in this is that we are speaking strictly about royal standards and what was the tradition, because they perceived themselves as Gods, is that they married strictly among close family members. This was true for the ancient Egyptians as well as the Tolomei Macedonian who were Greek so no, she wasn’t white as a Caucasian from England. She was Mediterranean white. Greek woman from royal birth. If anything we can have the greatest conversation, which is that for all the ages white people have always held power, lighter skinned people, white Mediterranean etc, because traditional Egypt was in fact diverse but royal Egypt from the time of Cleo the 7th was Greek. I don’t know how many times you’ve been to Greece but when you’re there you can have a clear vision of what the great philosophers and the “Gods” looked like.
@@genuinediasporan6661 again, you are confusing two separate things. The regular people and the people who ruled them. There is plenty of interwoven genealogy for the royals during the time of the 7th Cleo. Why is it so important for you to believe that Cleo was 1. Black 2. That the royals were the same as the people they reigned over?
@@labitcoineragt3596 an American here. I think this Netflix documentary is not only a disgrace to history but an insult to Egypt as well, but probably not intentionally. Every person who studies Egypt learns that Cleopatra had Greek, specifically Macedonian parentage. She was certainly not white, like for example, the actress Gwyneth Paltrow. She probably, however, looked more like Elizabeth Taylor than, for example Jada Pinkett Smith, who produced this "documentary". We have many examples of Cleopatra in paintings and sculpture with Greek facial features and dark, straight hair.
This is an amazing documentary, unlike the Netflix crap. As an American, I hate what Netflix has done to the great Queen Cleopatra. Love all of you and keep up the great work with the perservation work in Egypt guys and gals!
I love this. As an American, I JUST heard controversy over the Netflix series so I immediately didn’t wanna watch it. We’ve gotten a little crazy over here lol I am really interested in global history and I’m glad I stumbled upon this piece! Well done

JADA IS A JACKAZZZ. With that said, TRUE brown Yisrael were located in greece. They were called Grecians and Greeks! So, your so called Cleopatra was probably brown or a Negro mix at the least. It is not persoanl, it is just business. Of course, you would have NO CLUE because you are a child of the matrix, television and bogus public educational system. Let’s get the definition of Ham out of the so-called Jewish generated Zondervan’s Pictorial Bible Dictionary: “Ham - The youngest son of Noah, born probably about 96 years before the Flood; and one of the eight persons to live through the Flood. He became the progenitor of the dark races; NOT THE NEGROS, but the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Libyans and Canaanites.” The original Ham was dark brown. The definition of Ham above tells us t things: 1. The TRUE egyptian is a dark brown skin tone. 2. The TRUE people of Yisrael are brown also, not caucasoid. The present so-called Egyptians have been transplanted in the those lands, PERIOD. Genesis 10:6-20 - And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. {10:7} And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. {10:8} And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. {10:9} He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. {10:10} And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. {10:11} Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, {10:12} And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. {10:13} And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, {10:14} And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. {10:15} And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth, {10:16} And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, {10:17} And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, {10:18} And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. {10:19} And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha. {10:20} These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. Also, if she is greek, why in the heck are you FAKE egyptians crying about it???????
❤ this! THANK YOU for preserving history as it was and not how some people WISH it was! This was amazing. An ACTUAL educational DOCUMENTARY is ALWAYS better than ANY fluff piece with actors and high production costs! I much prefer to see the actual historical ruins and the real history. I also want to say that myself as an American, it is EXTREMELY upsetting that it truly does seem to be a recent American idea to rewrite history.. and not only American history but history from ALL AROUND the world.. as with this idea of Cleopatra being black or whatever else they are trying to say is WRONG.. the man who spoke of Africa and Egypt being MULTI RACIAL was so correct! And that is how and where America NEEDS to be headed in thinking for our own country as well as the WORLD and world history. Accepting history as it truly was and being able to accept that there were GREAT and AMAZING leaders from ALL races and colors and ethnicities is not at all in anyway diminishing the accomplishments of another race or ethnicity or country... being able to accept that Cleopatra was Greek and of Caucasian skin does not amd should not make ANYONE of ANY race feel less than or angry.. and being able to accept these facts doesn't in anyway diminish or take away from the great people from history that WERE actual black.. I will never understand why anyone would want to change history or get upset accepting and acknowledging that there were great rulers that WERE Caucasian. . Just as there were many who were black, or Indian, or Roman or any other ethnicity... denying these things does not help ANYONE and doesn't make anyone or any race or ethnicity better than another.. ALL humans are EQUALLY capable of great accomplishments.. we need to stop trying to change or cancel history to fit a story or narrative we are personally TRYING to push on others. Accept and learn from history.. that is why so many study it and put so much effort into ensuring the REAL and true history is being preserved
Great documentary. Not only have you managed to make a better documentary than these Hollywood scumbags doctored up but you also remained unbiased presenting theories as well as the facts. Egyptian history and archeology is a gift to humankind that causes the most global excitement and wonder till today. I am in constant awe of the treasures of Egypt. I say it’s part of human history but belongs to the Egyptian people first and foremost. Present day Egyptians are the descendants of those miraculous ancient humans, no one can take that from them♥️🇪🇬
This is the story of Cleopatra that I wish to see. We want to learn when we watch documentaries. We don’t want to be manipulated by Netflix. Queen Cleopatra the 7th and the Egyptian people deserve better than this. Their rich history deserves to be defended and preserved by us everywhere. I hoped to see Dr Hawass speak about this.
This brought tears to my eyes.. Egypt is my country, and I become extremely extremely defensive and jealous when it comes to its roaring history. Thank you for your appreciation to our one of a kind and priceless heritage.
As an Egyptian, I take great pride in the documentaries that showcase our rich history and civilization. Our heritage is built on a foundation that cannot be falsified or misrepresented. Let us continue to promote the truth and share the knowledge of our past with future generations in a genuine and accurate way. Together, we can ensure that the legacy of our civilization remains untarnished and handed down to future generations with utmost authenticity. 🇪🇬 🤴 👸
I am a nubian, and saying that our history has been falsified is very insulting to us. We are well aware of our history and our kings and queens. Stop bringing us nubians into this. PROUD NUBIAN EGYPTIAN 🇪🇬

In time the Greek and Roman were mercenary to Egypt army. Egypt never welcomed Alexander the great to take control of their country any more than the indigenous Americans welcomed the genocide of millions of black people are massacred. Their gold & silver taken, their tombs robbed , 97% of their artifacts taken. Their culture, religion and rituals to God removed. Those who are rich became impovished, all their history removed. Their military caused 10 to 1 females. They took black queens for breeding.. the ancients were accurate record keepers. The fact that she spoke 5 languages & educated shoes me she was an African queen. Please show me such credentials for any queen in Greek or Roman were women were not considered goddesses or well treated. I know it makes you feel better by the state in which empire building was done, but we will not settle for anymore of your lies. Read Revelation 2:9, Jeremiah 5:15-17, Isaiah 5:15-20. Very few people from Roman or Greek were educated outside of Africa 🌍. Name their made up universities. We know you whites out much of the history of the black civilization you destroyed that you say we welcomed in. I had indigenous ancestors from Africa 🌍 and America the slavery of Greeks and Roman's were even more uncivilized. These empire nations were built on lies & extinction of the indigenous black people.
Egypt, Rome & Greece is different mix today. Empire building time was brutal at best. Our ancients wrote about it or memorized hundreds of years of books, because this was not their first run in with invaders... the only ones glorified were the takers who came to steal, kill & destroy...

Everyone in the Ptolemaic dynasty was of Macedonian Greek descent, and they were famously xenophobic and disliked marrying outside of their own relatives because that would make their bloodline "impure" and potentially give cause for these outsiders to try and take power from them.
Another thing is, modern Greeks are still direct descendants of Ancient Greeks. Modern Egyptians are also direct descendants of Ancient Egyptians. Do you think that any time the ruling class of an area changed, the entire populace just vanished into the air and was replaced in totality by the newcomers? Because if you actually think that, you need to give yourself a stern slap, look long in the mirror and ask yourself why you'd come to such a ridiculous conclusion. Egypt had a populace of several million people when any outside invaders first managed to conquer their kingdom. The conquering armies at that time were in the tens of thousands at most. How do you think that people in the tens of thousands could replace millions?
American history is an *anomaly* in world history. Nowhere else such massive genocide and replacement ever took place. Nowhere. Even in North America it was only possible due to a massive difference in technology, the fact that the newcomers numbered in the millions and because they brought diseases with them that wiped out 90% of the locals. It's nothing but American idiocy to think that their history could be compared to anyone else's.

As an Egyptian woman I'm very grateful to all the makers of this documentary.. and I want to say something...
Africa is full of many, different, beautiful and culturally rich civilizations. Africa is the most diverse continent in terms of cultural, civilizational and historical diversity.
I wish Afro-centrics love their culture and teach us about it and their history instead of stealing ours!
Absolutely ❤️❤️❤️
peotect your history cause those Afrocenrtics are about to get from khmt to Sumeria/Babylon next and try to steal your History cause they have no recorded one.
Unfortunately they hate our own history and culture which is why theyre trying to appropriate and change it and in that endeavor they are apparently expanding their agenda outside of the states at the cost of making the rest of the world hate us more then they already do.

I am not Egyptian but I love History. It is one of my greatest passions and I believe that it should be shown accurately according to all historical evidence. The racist discourse that I have seen aimed at the Egyptian people in the wake of Netflixs mockumentary has horrified me and I am shocked that nobody has been talking about it. I fear for the day that these horrible people seek to destroy what they call "fake artifacts" in order to take Egypt back for "true Egyptians" whatever that means. Thank you for this documentary. I enjoyed it.
The museums that display our stolen pieces now support them and falsify history with them. Worse, they distort the artifacts to fit their lie. They designed a mask for Tutankhamun with completely different features to fit their story. Indeed, we are worried about our heritage, and we must recover these pieces at any cost,

As a Greek woman i want to thank everyone who participated in this documentary and brought out the true story as it is about the much loved queen Cleopatra. I thank all the Egyptian people for all the love they have given us since ancient times and continue feeling the same! Watching this masterpiece only gives you touching emotions, pride and awe. Queen Cleopatra was of Greek origin but she was also Egyptian, her people adored her and adores her still, she was their queen and surely she felt the same towards them! It is a honor to you, it is a worth for you! Cleopatra is yours, history is yours! We love you, thank you!!!🥰
Very well said. It's about keeping the Queen's legacy alive. I think she would be honor that every culture sees her and her accomplishments from their point of view. She thought of herself as a goddess and all gods wants us to see ourselves in their image.
We Egyptians love you and we love Queen Cleopatra Who ruled our country and grew up among us 🇪🇬🇬🇷❤️czcams.com/video/Up5owvnxZQE/video.html
Fairy tales. You're talking about "Cleopatra" as if she died fifty or a hundred years ago. The truth is, it's unknown who she is, if she existed basically "Cleopatra". But this is what we used to hear from “archaeologists” and their followers from journalists. They create a story about something ancient (images, figures, carvings, statues..) in order to attract and impress the public and supporters. In fact, they do not know what, who, when, and how...
I know Egypt belongs to earth's rightful rulers, not any European clone created genetically by a black African, who then killed, raped kids, enslaved,and got wealthy off innocent bloodshed from he who created his existence shall perish.. Whoever so is with these immortal acts are all the same, and are condemned. BRIMSTONE LIGHTENING, EARTHQUAKE, FIRE, AND PLAGUES SHALL REACH THEM, AND THEIR GENERATION TO COME IN THE NAME OF JAAH RASTAFARI, HAILE EMANUEL
Think she be honor that all race wants to claim her she work well l hope she did not kill get up to the top. Have a feeling
As an Armenian, I’ve always heard the story of how my grandmother was born and raised in Egypt, that my great grandparents survived the Armenian genocide and found refuge in Alexandria, Egypt and created a beautiful life there and had 4 children. Needless to say that I’ve always been fascinated by the Egyptian culture and their rich ancient history. I’m so glad I stumbled across this wonderful documentary! Thank you ❤️

This was 12 years ago...not based on a probable bust that they "believe" is a depiction of her
czcams.com/video/iCTzfb5tWDg/video.html
@@cleartocloseproperties A single 'expert' is the one trying to say that those 2000 year old bones are of Cleopatra's murdered sister/half-sister... except that the bones have been moved and touched so often that they cannot get an uncontaminated sample and that they didn't find the skull. So that doesn't prove anything. Anyone can pull a bone out of the ground, without conclusive testing, and go... "I believe this is a bone from Cleopatra's family! BELIEVE ME!" She has no hard evidence that conclusively says that the skeleton is of Arsinoe IV. Those bones are also still in 'identification limbo'.
I’m a history major who likes to research in my free time about historical events and ancient civilizations and empires, and I must say that you did a great job on this historically accurate documentary, I would score this as a 10/10 for historical accuracy.

Thank you Curtis Ryan woodside, and Dr. Zahi Hawass for preserving Egyptian history, and a superb documentary about Cleopatra. Egyptian culture is deeply rooted into my heart being Mediterranean.
They should've and could've made their own documentary years ago when America first started doing movies and shows about Cleopatra history but they didn't until now because of racism. That has nothing to do with culture but hate which goes against who she was as a Queen.

I am British, however, I love history with a passion and I have felt complete frustration and anger about the whole Netflix fantasy 'documentary'.

This documentary is very informative and educational and I would definitely recommend watching this for anyone who wants to learn the real facts of this historically great woman and era. Thank you for producing this!
Did you feel the anger when Cleopatra was depicted as a white woman (Elizabeth Taylor)?

If you allow me a recommendation
You can see the 1999 movie "CLEOPATRA" starring: Timothy Dalton as Julio Cesar, Billy Zane (actor of the movie "Titanic") as Marco Antonio and the Beautiful LEONOR VARELA as Queen CLEOPATRA. IT IS a more dramatic and suggestive version, which is far from Elizabeth Taylor's version, let's say it is DARKER and SERIOUS and I am not referring to the fact that the actress was AFRO although she is not the WHITER of the actresses LEONOR VARELA gave a GREAT interpretation of CLEOPATRA. Totally recommended 👍👍

The Egyptians were angry about the previous movie, which played the role of Cleopatra, a white-skinned actress, but with this new movie from Netflix, the anger became greater because it is not an ordinary movie, it is a documentary, and this is what makes it necessary to transfer the reference truth because it is a documentary and not a fictional movie

For so long, no one bothered to try and understand who she really was. It’s also wonderful to see so many Egyptian historians and experts involved!

Many blck Americans and some continental subsaharans are displaying a deep seated inferiority complex. They are ashamed of their west and central african heritage because there is no significant civilization coming out of that geographical area of Africa as they think.
They want to fake north African Mediterranean transcontinental Afroasiatic Egypt's heritage and join it inorder to combact their low self esteem and convince themselves that they are a race of civilised humanbeings in contrast to the widely known conception of them of being cannibals who only could build mud huts and dance.
And they ignore history, documented studies and ancient inscriptions
They ignore that their shape does not resemble the ancient Egyptians at all
They are not even like any of the people of North Africa that's why they use photoshops alot in the Egyptian artifacts to persuade their ignorants by those lies and do not show the Egyptian artifacts that show them as captives under Egyptians feet

Have you not noticed people from all over the world in this chat? they all support Egypt and the real history of this land. Unfortunately for you guys the world is starting to see for themselves why a majority of Americans do not like you.
What a great documentary, well done! I could listen to this for hours. I may be Dutch, but I support the Egyptians and the Greeks. This is their history... ❤ Cleopatra was a remarkable woman!
Thank you very much 🇪🇬
Thank you so much ❤🇪🇬
🤺☦🇷🇺As a Dutch, you should be ashamed of your country of being a U.S. puppet. Anyway, they got things wrong too. The Persians brought Egyptians back to their homeland, Egypt, after 40 years of exile! Just like they've done with the Jews and all her subjects, after the cruel Babylonian rule, which exiled populations from their homeland, to Babylon. They were good to Egyptians🇷🇺❤🇪🇬
@@EasternRomeOrthodoxy I'm sorry, but this is not the right place to talk about politics. Unless it has something to do with the Cleopatra documentary...and that's not the case. And don't tell me how to feel about my own country...yeez!
@@elskewietzes9963 I WILL tell you! We, Egyptians and the whole Muslim world rejects your godless wermstern world controlled by your mommy America, and you should be apologizing for it! 99% of my comment was about Cleopatra, Stearns how to read, westerner! Also, it is the perfect place to talk politics
As an American who lives in Southern California, thank you. I would also like to apologize for Hollyweird! I was sicken how Hollyweird is obsessed with colorism, and rewriting US history. I am so glad the good Dr. Hawass, whom Ive been following over ten years! Thank goodness you stopped the vulgar takeover of Hollywood. I have visited both. Greece and Egypt I have spent most of my adulthood studying Greek and Egypt ancient civilizatio, and love so much 9f your two history. Thank you for setting the record straight about Queen Cleopatra! She is worthy of serious study. Your documentary is wonderful. Applause to Dr. Hawass.
We know Cleopatra was of the Greek clan. However does that encompass the Black African origin of Ancient Kemet aka Egypt. Tell me who is really rewriting history?
Brazilian but in love with Egypt since I was a child❣
This is the DOCUMENTARY we need of Cleopatra, by majority of Egyptians that know what they are saying. Bless the producers of this video! Thank you!
Thank you for this, it was a very thorough documentary and included a few facts that I was unaware of. Being Greek Cypriot myself I was not aware that Ptolemy I was a ruler of Cyprus at the time he became Pharoh of Egypt. It is so important to retell history using the most accurate sources and evidence available at the present time.I just wish that this was on Netflix and not that nonsense that misrepresents the great Pharoah Cleopatra. I have boycotted that so-called documentary as I feel it is an insult to Egyptians and Greeks and most importantly to world history.
Our aqueen cleopatra was greec
Egypt is for egyptians 🇪🇬
🤺☦🇷🇺Yes, you Cypriots are the Greek race, called Kittim (Kition - Achaeans), ancestors of Macedonians. But they got things wrong too. The Persians brought you Egyptians back to youe homeland, after 40 years of exile. Just like they've done with the Jews and all her subjects, after the cruel Babylonian rule, which exiled populations from their homeland, to Babylon. They were good to you, Egyptians
Helen I agree. This documentary was very informative. And I finally got to see what the statues representing Arsenoe and those of Cleopatras' children looked like. The historical facts about her daughter and grandson were fascinating.
Netflix has an agenda!
@@zazaaziella16 yeah. So do the people defending the Netflix mocumentay, to be more precise. It's obvious to billions around the world that they have an agenda.
This entire documentary on Cleopatra was tremendous to watch❤👏🏿🙂 I had a full education and I was pleased. I was left stunned.
I am an American and I love ancient Egyptian history. I'm glad to hear the true history from those actually educated in facts.
Right, I am also an American history geek and this is awesomeness.
I support Egyptians 100%, I’m from England and have been obsessed with Ancient Egyptian history for most of my life, lost count of the amount of documentaries (real ones) I’ve watched and books I’ve read about ancient Egypt, their history is so rich and definitely something to be proud of course they’re protective of it, it’s infuriating that Jada picket just barges in and rewrite’s your history I’m so glad the Egyptian people are standing up and saying no.
but you did not have a problem when your people were whitewashing egypt.
Devuelvan los tesoros arqueologicos de Egipto piratas!!!!
Amazes me that you jump to assumptions without even knowing me….you know what they say about people who Assume. If my opinion triggered you so much that you had to respond with an accusation about my character (someone you don’t even know or met) I suggest you stay home for the foreseeable future and not talk to anybody
@@rosejames5172 How can a white person who is Greek/Macedonian be white-washed? It's like saying you've black-washed MLK
@@rosejames5172 you are the one who has a problem obviously. EGYPTIANS are what they always were EGYPTIANS.
Watching this, ( I’m greek), i was feeling that ms Martinez was representing my country, better than any contemporary greek archeologist would, even I know that she’s from the other side of earth.👍🙏🏻👏🏻🇬🇷🇩🇲
yes she did a great job..smart and beautiful lady
This is what a documentary should be 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Now THIS is a proper documentary! Beautifully shot, edited, and presented. Thank you very much for not only presenting and preserving Egyptian history and culture, but also it’s importance and impact on our collective human history.
This is exactly how documentaries should be made, thanks to everyone who participated in this well researched informative documentary.
As an Englishman, we were always taught Cleopatra was of Greek origin. Even when in the year 1961, the year I was born, Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra in the movie, it was always known that she was Greek. This is the documentary which I will be showing my grandchildren, not the woke Netflix version, which is an outright lie. Thank you for making this wonderful documentary!
Excellent. Education is SO important!
Even Elizabeth was a better-looking choice. While she was very white, she still had the right profile. That movie also wasn’t calling itself a documentary like Netflix was.
Only scumbags use the word, "woke."
But you're happy with a white women playing Cleopatra?
Your a lie that's why all the hieroglyphics are of black people 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing how Curtis was able to make a great documentary on such a small budget.
Hint to netflix: All you need are better educated producers and directors.. someone like curtis would do wonders for your ratings and reputation.
Wokeness hates history.facts and comon sense.
I am beyond happy that this documentary was published by Real Historians, Archeologists and Egyptian Historians. Thank You so much for the years of work and complete lives dedicated on searching for the truth that is hidden or forgotten. I love history, I love human history the real history that is found in books, paintings, mural paintings, and many other objects that ancient people left for us to find, like human foot prints.❤THANK YOU SO MUCH I say this with all my heart❤ MY MOST SINCERE THANK YOU AND MY MOST ENOURMOUS ADMIRATION DR. ZAHI HAWASS ( MY HERO)❤. oh by the way I have many history college (about to get my degree in history) courses and funny thing I have never read a book that starts with "my grandma told me cleopatra was black" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that was hilarious to hear!!!!!! What the grandma has been alive since August 10, 30 BC🤷WOW!! I know Netflix has no standards but they need to start rethinking their logic😂
I’m Australian and completely infatuated with Egyptian history. I was completely disgusted in the Netflix documentary and glad to see the truth being told here!
Should we surprised you come from Australia judging from the fact how the accounts of the Aboriginals and original inhabitants of tazmania is almost no inexistent?
Ancient Egypt civilisation started within Northeastern Africa" and the ancient Egyptians "were a people and society that emerged in the Saharo-Nilotic region of Northeast Africa".Keita also reviewed studies on the biological affinities of the Ancient Egyptian population and wrote in 1993 that the original inhabitants of the Nile Valley were primarily a variety of indigenous Northeast Africans from the areas of the desiccating Sahara and more southerly areas. He also added that whilst Egyptian society became more socially complex and biologically varied, the "ethnicity of the Niloto-Saharo-Sudanese origins did not change".
You should have stayed in your mother womb , that way you won't have to be in doubt Caucasian land colonizer and thief ; the same as fake Arab Egyptian Egyptian
@@genuinediasporan6661 If you're interested in what Egyptians, Sudanese, etc look like, you can go there and see them. They're still there. There even continue to be communities of Nubians in upper Egypt and Sudan today.
I majored in History here in the US and my goal was to be a historian. Then I had children and just changed my mind and decided to stay home with them BUT my heart still belongs to history lol. Thank you for making this wonderful documentary! I’m embarrassed that Netflix came out with that awful show!
Robert Morkot wrote in 2005 that "The ancient Egyptians were not 'white' in any European sense, nor were they 'Caucasian'... we can say that the earliest population of ancient Egypt included African people from the upper Nile, African people from the regions of the Sahara and modern Libya, and smaller numbers of people who had come from south-western Asia and perhaps the Arabian peninsula."
Ancient Egypt civilisation started within Northeastern Africa" and the ancient Egyptians "were a people and society that emerged in the Saharo-Nilotic region of Northeast Africa".[69] Keita also reviewed studies on the biological affinities of the Ancient Egyptian population and wrote in 1993 that the original inhabitants of the Nile Valley were primarily a variety of indigenous Northeast Africans from the areas of the desiccating Sahara and more southerly areas. He also added that whilst Egyptian society became more socially complex and biologically varied, the "ethnicity of the Niloto-Saharo-Sudanese origins did not change".
@@genuinediasporan6661 and that is correct. They are and have always been very diverse. The big BUT in this is that we are speaking strictly about royal standards and what was the tradition, because they perceived themselves as Gods, is that they married strictly among close family members. This was true for the ancient Egyptians as well as the Tolomei Macedonian who were Greek so no, she wasn’t white as a Caucasian from England. She was Mediterranean white. Greek woman from royal birth. If anything we can have the greatest conversation, which is that for all the ages white people have always held power, lighter skinned people, white Mediterranean etc, because traditional Egypt was in fact diverse but royal Egypt from the time of Cleo the 7th was Greek. I don’t know how many times you’ve been to Greece but when you’re there you can have a clear vision of what the great philosophers and the “Gods” looked like.
@@genuinediasporan6661 again, you are confusing two separate things. The regular people and the people who ruled them. There is plenty of interwoven genealogy for the royals during the time of the 7th Cleo. Why is it so important for you to believe that Cleo was 1. Black 2. That the royals were the same as the people they reigned over?
@@labitcoineragt3596 an American here. I think this Netflix documentary is not only a disgrace to history but an insult to Egypt as well, but probably not intentionally. Every person who studies Egypt learns that Cleopatra had Greek, specifically Macedonian parentage. She was certainly not white, like for example, the actress Gwyneth Paltrow. She probably, however, looked more like Elizabeth Taylor than, for example Jada Pinkett Smith, who produced this "documentary". We have many examples of Cleopatra in paintings and sculpture with Greek facial features and dark, straight hair.
This is an amazing documentary, unlike the Netflix crap. As an American, I hate what Netflix has done to the great Queen Cleopatra. Love all of you and keep up the great work with the perservation work in Egypt guys and gals!
Do you feel the same way when Cleopatra was depicted as white when played by Elizabeth Taylor?
@@aslaammahdi3244 That film wasn’t a documentary. The Netflix version is, listed as a documentary.
@@aslaammahdi3244 🤣 you can fantasize whatever you want in a fanfic movie. But never in a documentary.
@@aslaammahdi3244 Cléopatra was a Greek and white woman.
What is your problem?
@@aslaammahdi3244 Liz Taylor was hot but definitely not what Cleopatra looked like.

I love this. As an American, I JUST heard controversy over the Netflix series so I immediately didn’t wanna watch it. We’ve gotten a little crazy over here lol I am really interested in global history and I’m glad I stumbled upon this piece! Well done
I don’t trust a lot of things by a certain demographic in America.
they are trying to change American history too
Afrocentrism is a cancer that threatens to erase history
I did not know much about it, but Egyptians are not subsaharan, maybe some Black Africans immigrated. They think people of value are Black.

TRUE brown Yisrael were located in greece. They were called Grecians and Greeks! So, your so called Cleopatra was probably brown or a Negro mix at the least.
It is not persoanl, it is just business. Of course, you would have NO CLUE because you are a child of the matrix, television and bogus public educational system. Let’s get the definition of Ham out of the so-called Jewish generated Zondervan’s Pictorial Bible Dictionary: “Ham - The youngest son of Noah, born probably about 96 years before the Flood; and one of the eight persons to live through the Flood. He became the progenitor of the dark races; NOT THE NEGROS, but the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Libyans and Canaanites.” The original Ham was dark brown. The definition of Ham above tells us t things: 1. The TRUE egyptian is a dark brown skin tone. 2. The TRUE people of Yisrael are brown also, not caucasoid. The present so-called Egyptians have been transplanted in the those lands, PERIOD.
Genesis 10:6-20 - And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. {10:7} And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. {10:8} And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. {10:9} He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. {10:10} And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. {10:11} Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah, {10:12} And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. {10:13} And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, {10:14} And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. {10:15} And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth, {10:16} And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite, {10:17} And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, {10:18} And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. {10:19} And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha. {10:20} These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.

Cheers from Egypt
❤ this! THANK YOU for preserving history as it was and not how some people WISH it was! This was amazing. An ACTUAL educational DOCUMENTARY is ALWAYS better than ANY fluff piece with actors and high production costs! I much prefer to see the actual historical ruins and the real history. I also want to say that myself as an American, it is EXTREMELY upsetting that it truly does seem to be a recent American idea to rewrite history.. and not only American history but history from ALL AROUND the world.. as with this idea of Cleopatra being black or whatever else they are trying to say is WRONG.. the man who spoke of Africa and Egypt being MULTI RACIAL was so correct! And that is how and where America NEEDS to be headed in thinking for our own country as well as the WORLD and world history. Accepting history as it truly was and being able to accept that there were GREAT and AMAZING leaders from ALL races and colors and ethnicities is not at all in anyway diminishing the accomplishments of another race or ethnicity or country... being able to accept that Cleopatra was Greek and of Caucasian skin does not amd should not make ANYONE of ANY race feel less than or angry.. and being able to accept these facts doesn't in anyway diminish or take away from the great people from history that WERE actual black.. I will never understand why anyone would want to change history or get upset accepting and acknowledging that there were great rulers that WERE Caucasian. . Just as there were many who were black, or Indian, or Roman or any other ethnicity... denying these things does not help ANYONE and doesn't make anyone or any race or ethnicity better than another.. ALL humans are EQUALLY capable of great accomplishments.. we need to stop trying to change or cancel history to fit a story or narrative we are personally TRYING to push on others. Accept and learn from history.. that is why so many study it and put so much effort into ensuring the REAL and true history is being preserved
Beautifully done. I’m so hoping Kathleen will find her tomb very soon.
As Egyptian I’m so proud of my country , my culture , my own ancient Egyption civilization❤❤🇪🇬

Love to Egypt
You are not indigenous Egyptian. Your people are occupiers of the land
Great documentary. Not only have you managed to make a better documentary than these Hollywood scumbags doctored up but you also remained unbiased presenting theories as well as the facts. Egyptian history and archeology is a gift to humankind that causes the most global excitement and wonder till today. I am in constant awe of the treasures of Egypt. I say it’s part of human history but belongs to the Egyptian people first and foremost. Present day Egyptians are the descendants of those miraculous ancient humans, no one can take that from them♥️🇪🇬
This is the story of Cleopatra that I wish to see. We want to learn when we watch documentaries. We don’t want to be manipulated by Netflix. Queen Cleopatra the 7th and the Egyptian people deserve better than this. Their rich history deserves to be defended and preserved by us everywhere. I hoped to see Dr Hawass speak about this.
This brought tears to my eyes.. Egypt is my country, and I become extremely extremely defensive and jealous when it comes to its roaring history. Thank you for your appreciation to our one of a kind and priceless heritage.
Do you see Africans claiming European history? Cant see truth through man's eyes. Look through heaven's eyes
As an Egyptian, I take great pride in the documentaries that showcase our rich history and civilization. Our heritage is built on a foundation that cannot be falsified or misrepresented. Let us continue to promote the truth and share the knowledge of our past with future generations in a genuine and accurate way. Together, we can ensure that the legacy of our civilization remains untarnished and handed down to future generations with utmost authenticity. 🇪🇬 🤴 👸
A lot has been falsified to the neglect of the Nubians who created Egypt for thousands of years...
I am a nubian, and saying that our history has been falsified is very insulting to us. We are well aware of our history and our kings and queens. Stop bringing us nubians into this. PROUD NUBIAN EGYPTIAN 🇪🇬
