What does herukhuti mean? What is the Egyptian word for Sphinx is it Heru em Akhet? If so what does Akhet mean? What does the word "khu" mean I have seen different explinations for this word?
thanks in advance
I think that you would get more answers but if I'm not mistaken in the past you were warned for throwing out insult by ausar
Its hard to talk to someone who throw out insults because it shows a lack of maturity. The answer to your question has been answered hundreds of times on this forum.
I understand what it means but their are others who can explain it much better. The .t is used like the [s] in the english language or even the [im] in the hebrew language. To say Km is a signular word meaning 'black' but to add the .t, would make the word plural which reads as 'blacks'.
As far as the other post ... I will let others answer your questions.
Peace!~

Evergreen Writes:
Anthropologists study Ancient Egypt in the framework of other Black African cultures to gain deeper insight into its indigenous traditions. In that modern Egypt has been impacted by invaders such as the Persians, Greeks, Arabs, Turks, etc. it is a best practice to study the AEs in their proper context - as a Black African people.

No offense, but I think its because many of the questions you ask are either stupid or have been answered thousands of times to death on this forum.

My preference is to stay from Black Africa usage and terminology because we rarely reference or use White Europe in common parlance. Just use Africa and Europe without prejudice and all the colourcoded BS.

^Of course. We don't use the phrase 'white European' because of the automatic assumed correlation that European means white. On the other hand, there is the decades old notion that Africa does not mean black, due to the belief that only Sub-Saharan African means black while North African does not.
I think a shift is order to either just say African or use white European more frequently. Preferably both, if one is to get rid of the old silly notions more quickly.

Because there is no claim in scholarship made that southern Europe belongs to non whites.
Therefore White Europe is redundant.
In the ancient past Black African was also redundant, but not today, obviously.
If the claim of ancient K-zoid, Eu-African, Medit, etc. is dropped, then it would be less necessary to specify that one is speaking of the Native melanodermic - ie - BLACK - population of Africa.
Even then, the reality is that some ancient populations of Northern Africa referred to themselves as Blacks.
There is actually more historical substantiation for the use of the term -BLACK- than for the use of the term African in this regard.
Black as and ethnic term is only controversial because of modern European and Arab racism.
Kemophobia, or hatred of Blacks is what needs to change.....not the use of the word.
