Lost Treasures Of Nubia: Unveiling The Secrets Of Ancient Sudan

Published 2019-12-14
David Adams’ journey takes us into a Sudan we rarely see. On the flat waters of the Nile, he hears the creaking of the rigging catching the wind as river-travelers have for thousands of years. While the battlements of ancient fortresses standing on shore are occasional reminders of the region’s violent past, he is able to contemplate that era from the relative peace of the wide river.

    Before Nubia the civilization in that region was named Ta Seti and it's actually older than Egypt itself, Egypt started off as a colony of Ta Seti and later broke away for Independence bringing with them the same culture, religion, hieroglyphs and much more. This was confirmed by the Greek historian Herodotus (the guy that history itself is named after) who visited Egypt in 450 B.C. to eagerly learn from a culture he deemed older than his own but when he got there he was shocked to find out the Egyptians themselves where descendants of an even older civilization south of Egypt and future up the Nile and all the customs and knowledge flowed down the Nile into Egypt (the Nile flows South to North not North to South)
  • "Mystery of the African Pharaohs". The Egyptians were Africans. People have seen too many Hollywood movies.

    Hats off for cameramen nd directors, the real heros behind the scenes 👏
  • I love The videoography, however I found some of your information to be misleading in the documentary. Also find it strange that you kept trying to distance the Egyptians from the African continent as if they were from some other continent.I found it quite interesting how you portray the culture of the Nubians against Kamet or as you may know them as[ Egyptians]. As you may know, their history stretches back over four thousand years. I found it quite strange how you kept referring to the Egyptians as non-African. When research has identified that a majority of Egyptian culture is a combination of many tribes across Northern and Eastern Africa that eventually created the Egyptians culture. Also, you should be aware that the Egyptians had no category of race. And a majority of these tribes came together because of climate change as you may have known the Sahara was Green at one point Because every 20,000 years Sahara climate changes wet to dry. but slowly started to dry up and the people who lived in this area have no choice but to come together along what water that was left like the Nile. And I understand that when you made this video it was quiet a while ago. You see most of the history is based on a eurocentric point of view the history that you have learned is based on cultures from across the Mediterranean from Hellenistic culture. And not based on the people who actually lived in such places. For instance the name Egypt actually comes from the Greeks as I mentioned earlier the Egyptians called themselves kamet , kush Nubia. Different kingdoms ,but also they traded with each other. At one point One ruled the other and vice versa. They're shared knowledge with each other
  • This upper, that why the pharoah wore double crown. There was only one type of pharoahs, you guys are good at spinning yarwns.
    Greeks and Romans are invaders in Egypt.
  • If there is any purpose of life, it is to travel, and travel and travel.
    Loved it beyond measure. ♥️

    There were a lot of issues with this documentary. Starting with the obsession with the phrase “the black pharaohs” and the fact that the journey of Lord Kitchener was glorified. The murder of 25,000 Sudanese is not anything to glorify.
  • @Hottie995
    He does know Egypt is in Africa right??? The Egyptian said they come from the south
  • @nanaok8070
    I spent some time in Egypt and found it very interesting that a high majority of the different Pharaohs, including the Sphinx all had their big fat African noses bashed in, broken etc. To me, it was very clear that the Pharaohs were from Black Africa, and were of Black skin. Hollywood has fooled everybody that the ancient Egyptians were of nearly European features, long straight hair and aquiline noses. Purely fictional. I also saw numerous wooden afro combs in the Museum in Cairo. Clearly not for straight European hair
  • @aliakba6269
    The black pharohs are hidden not lost they are beautiful pieces of black art
  • @pathtomagic3490
    The problem with having Europeans tell your history..... the Black Pharaohs?!
  • Amazing how cameramen seem not to be present, but imagine, they have to do everything the subject does, but with the added weight of camera and camera equipment. This likely included a director, cameraman and a couple of assistance.
  • @unclebatog940
    Best documentary ever I love how you narrate the history of my country yet unknown to me
