African History
Gift of the Nile – History of Africa with Zeinab Badawi [Episode 3]
Zeinab Badawi’s quest to uncover the history of Africa takes her to Egypt where she explores the most famous civilisation on the continent that of the ancient Egyptians.
Zeinab takes you beyond the usual coverage of the pharaohs, mummies and pyramids and examines the controversial question of who the ancient Egyptians actually were.
What was their ethnicity? What made such a great civilisation possible and how did the ancient Egyptians order their society? And she is also allowed to capture on film the mummy and treasures of the famous boy king Tutankhamun.

Interestingly, many Christians, particularly Black Christians, are often unaware of the true origins of the December global celebration. Previously, the celebration was variably scheduled in January, March, April, May, or September, reflecting uncertainty about the actual birthdate of Jesus.
The holidays we observe today have their roots in sacred days from ancient Kemetic or what is popularly known as Egyptian culture, where these occasions were timed with celestial events such as the alignment of stars, constellations, and the sun’s position relative to Earth.

The colonial education narrative has consistently taught, and still teaches, Africans that their ancestors relied solely on oral traditions to transmit knowledge and memory. Sadly, Africans in the so-called West, Central, East, and Southern African regions are unaware of writing systems in these parts of Africa.

It is inaccurate to say that Ramsees II built the temples of Abu Simbel or the temples of Nefertari since the temples were built by ancient Kushites (Nubians) under the leadership of the Nubian Viceroys of Kush. It is more accurate to say that it was built during the reign of Ramsees II and dedicated to the mighty pharaoh. It features rock cut architecture which was a style of architecture invented by the ancient Nubians. Yes the temples were dedicated for Ramsees II and his wife but the Nubians take credit for actually building the temple. There’s a reason it’s called a Nubian monument and not an Egyptian one. And the temple is located in the historical region of Nubia (inhibited by its indigenous population; the Nubians). So technically the Sudanese Nubians and the Nubians in Lower Nubia (who are one people and who are unrelated to the Egyptians) take credit for this great temple.

I like the perspective of African history here. That it is part of the growth and development of the human family. Like an ancient baobab tree which puts up strong roots and robust stem then sprouts outwards. When I was In school, perhaps out of fear of the horrors of the pre and post colonial period, there was a sentiment that Africa should isolate itself. That perhaps the openess and hospitality towards other cultures leaves it vulnerable to physical and cultural erosion. But I see now that that we are part of the world. Not a strange isolated people with no connection to the rest of the globe.There's no escaping that.

Zeinab, greeting and blessings. Y ou have put together a comprehensive methodology for understandin African History. I am in awe of the knowledge presented by you. As a black man of Caribbean lineage, because of slavery I have often wondered who I am, and what is my African origin. What you offer Zeinab is the product of Afrocentric truth. Thank you a thousand times. The greatest travesty to any human being is not knowing who you are.

Modern Arabic-Egyptians are in denial due to racial prejudice.
A great leap of imagination and ignorance of facts is needed to believe that modern Arabs are ancient Egyptians.

Falsifiers of history. If Africans were truly the ones who built the Egyptian civilization, I can explain why we do not see that Pharaoh architecture in other geographical areas of other African countries. Why only Egypt? This indicates that the rest of the Africans do not have the same intelligence genes that exist in Egypt. This indicates that the people of Egypt One thing, and Africans are another thing. They have nothing to do with our civilization, as Egyptians, but all I can say is that you tell lies and believe them. My advice is, go and create your own history instead of stealing it.

Zahi Hawas has hundreds of times said Egypt was in Africa but had nothing to do with Africans, and the only black Africans there were Nubians, who were enemies of Egypt. Yet here he says that he believes that they were connected to Africa. This man is confused. lol

This seemed to be a very Nubian centric documentary. 😂
The overwhelming majority of the population of Aswan and Luxor is Nubian. When the Egyptian government flooded the Nile south of Aswan, the resulting Lake Nasser flooded the ancestral lands and homes of the Nubians.
There is a lot of racism and segregation between Egyptians in the north and the Nubians in the south, resulting in a lot of bad feelings. So the information in this very Nubian/African centric documentary came across a tad disingenuous.
