[QUOTE]Originally posted by Truthcentric: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [qb]The worst is that, while said in the most retarded way, what Vansertimavindicated say there is true but I think as African people we are beyond that. [b]We are beyond having to prove to the "pink assed" that Kemites were Bantu or Africans.[/b] Now, for those interested (for academic knowledge or entertainment or both ;) ), it's more about studying it, publishing papers and book about those studies, place Ancient Kemet history in relation with the greater African history, making documentaries or movies or whatever about Ancient Kemet and African history in general. I think Africans are beyond the Diop paradigm of concentrating our effort to prove to European historians (or worse to racist euronuts forumites) that Kemet was a 100% black African civilization or something like that. Now, academically, it's more about developing that knowledge further more. Studying African history including Kemet more. Only 30% of Ancient Kemet is said to have been excavated. 70% of Ancient Kemet artifacts and architectures are still laying in the sands, hidden somewhere from our eyes and knowledge... Same for current information that needs to be analyzed and linked with other historical facts. It's also important to put Ancient Kemet in relation with the rest of African history. Ancient Kemet was a great African traditional civilization. Everything seems to have been lined up for them to create a great civilization well advanced for their time with the great advantage of being literate. Kemet can be considered one Apex of African traditional society. We need to study it more in put its history in relation to with the rest of the African history and empires like Ghana, Great Zimbabwe, Kongo, less known ones, etc. As well as colonial and post colonial history. So for African people like us which are interested into African history, it's more about studying it more, writing papers and book about those studies. Some other people, more artistic than me, write novels located in Kemet or traditional Africa. Some make drawings, video games, screensaver, themes, videos, movies, animation, etc. So yeah, as Africans, we are beyond having to concentrate our effort to prove to the "pink assed" that Kemites were 100% Africans or Bantu. They were Africans. Now, as everything else in life, it's about exploring it more, analyzing it more, studying it more, making works, entertainment, new discoveries about it, etc. For example, this new genetic study, is something new that must be analyzed and incorporated in what we already know of African history and development. [/qb][/QUOTE]I agree with your general message here, but while we can definitely say that ancient Egyptians were predominantly Black Africans, I don't think we can call them Bantu. Although "Bantu" is rooted in a word for humanity in general, nowadays it is commonly reserved with a particular linguistic family that doesn't include ancient Egyptian. In this light Egyptians were no more Bantu than Somalis or Dinka. I'm with Swenet that the reason the Amarna mummies have genetic profiles similar to Great Lakes and Southern Africans is because that genetic material was more widespread across the continent rather than because of any direct contact between Egyptians and those other African populations.
