The History channel is doing a program on the black Pharoahs, it will air on saturday at 6PM E.

[Muhammad]

Dua Netjer en ek

[Jawaazay]

Both. I hope that do they present it accurately.

[Muhammad]

I watched a piece they did on nubia couple of years ago, it was interesting.

 

it is good to see they give hitler a break once a while.

without geting into 'were the egyptians black?', the answer to your question is No, the Black-African Kushite pharoahs ruled egypt for about 100 years.

 

now, who wants to tackle the question,

were the ancient egyptians Black?

In the same token, all pharoahs were short.

Thanks sxb.

 

Caano;Not all Pharoahs were blacks. There is no known archeological evidence or otherwise to suggest that all pharoahs were blacks. Most archeologist have said that non blacks may have ruled[Turks.greeks]

 

However,i dont trust most of the early archeologists,they prolly were indenial of the fact that a Black Man could rule for so long. Some even dont beleive that the Pyramids were built by the Egyptians without the assistance of ETs

[Muhammad]

not turks, turks left central asia recently.

 

other non-black groups that they came into contact include asiatics/semites, hittites, libyans. greeks(later)...

[Jawaazay]

Where do Somalis fit in this, if they do?

[Muhammad]

well the ancient egyptians refered to the area which includes Somalia as Punt or Ta Neteru, the land of the gods. In one of the legends, they believed that is where they originated.

 

some pharoahs sent expeditions to punt, the most famous being that of queen hatshepsut.

 

there must also have been some links, mainly trade, between nubia and the lands of punt.

 

so the land which the somalis occupy does have some links with ancient egypt. but as for Somalis(todays), I don't know. perhaps someone else can shed a light on it.

Somalis back then, as they are today, were groupies for whomever was in charge. If you look at history, we've been groupies for the Arabs, the European colonialists, the Soviets, etc. Today, we're groupies for the Ethiopians. Using that, one can argue that we were, perhaps, once groupies for the pharoahs. Land of Punt, anyone...?

^^^No wonder, then, some people believe pharaoh, or ( Ùرعون ) in Arabic, is nothing but the corrupted version of the Somali name fir-coon ; combination of fir (descendant) and coon (the short ). I like it .
