GOOD AFTERNOON!
It's come to my attention recently, that some of you are imbibing a little too deeply of white supremacy's um, Kool Aid.
What's the expression, denial's a river in Egypt?
A thread:
Plain-as-the-nose-on-my-face...
(or the nose Napoleon shot off the Sphynx, because it wasn't a white nose; they been trying to whitewash ancient Egypt since like, forever...?)
And, well, yanno common sense, fact of indigenous Black Africans being ancient Egyptians...
Let's begin:
"Nilotic people in ancient Egypt. Nilotic people are known throughout East Africa for their distinct jet black sin. They migrated from upper Nile regions to trade with ancient Egyptians, from kingdoms like Wawat which was along the blue Nile."
Ethiopische herder sleeping on his headrest. That headrest look familiar, hmm...?
Oh, look at this... the more things change, the more they stay the same, huh...?
Even over thousands of years...
EVEN THIS AIN'T NEW, LOL...!
More photo evidence that the more things change, the more they stay the same...
Again...! The more things change, the more they stay the same...
Yeah, even stiletto nails, Lord...
African hair styles persisting through thousands of fucking years...
"Young girls hairstyles, then and now: all wear an A-shaped braided hair diadem: The young daughter of the Court astronomer priest Nakht, during the reign of Thutmose IV, 18th Dynasty, Thebes, Egypt. Afar girl, Assayta, Ethiopia Afar girl, Danakil, Ethiopia."
"Ancient Amorrite Syrian cornrowed braids hairstyle worn with white headbands during ancient Egypt's 20th dynasty, in the reign of Rameses III, compared to modern Ethiopian Oromo traditional hairstyle worn by women. Collage, Amina Bari."
This is a collage I whipped up, based on some of the pics I have on my "Yass My Blackness" Pinterest board.
Notice the common hair style in every image.
"African warrior piglets hairstyles common in the African great lakes region with tribes such as Kalenjin, Maasai, Datooga, Kikuyu, Meru, Chaga, Himba etc. but also some tribes in Mali, Chad and Senegal. (cont'd)
"It Is usually worn by young married warriors until they enter the age group of junior elders, when they shave it off. Age groups and age sets were integral parts of African society including Ancient Egypt."
The image:
Kemet then and now:
Please take note the statue of the dude with an AFRO.
ENHANCE.
"The Sidelock of Youth, now and then: The Royal daughter Meritaten, with her sidelock of ondulating plaits finished by long strands of beads; a Mumuhuila young girl from Angola, with her mud-packed, cornrowed sidelock..." (cont'd)
"the ends of her braids finished by long strands of beads with silvery white sea shells dangling from them. African traditional hairstyles."
Things put on the head:
"This is Imhotep's mother... Surely you have heard of the African multi-genius Imhotep? This is his mom, her name is Khredounkh. Her statue is in a glass case in the Louvre Museum in Paris... " (cont'd)
"Now if the mother looks like this, what does it say about the son??? Imhotep was truly a Black man of the Nile!"
Imhotep's mom, again:

Like Eve.
That's as literal as you can get.
Apparently, this is Dido, Queen of Carthage:
"The Nguni migrated from the Nile Valley 3000yrs ago during the Bantu migration which started from the Nile Valley. Triggered by the Persian invasion"
Black faces are not a monolith.
Yes, that's Akhenaten's statue.
Yes, that's King Tut's, bust.
Statue of a man, 5th dynasty (2504-2347 B.C.) Egyptian Museum, Cairo.
Reminds me of a Black actor I've seen...
Remember the earlier Tweet in this thread talking about the Bantu migration...?
"The term Nifura-titi or Nifuraha-titi in many Bantu languages means 'Exceeding joy'.
Sounds similar to Nefertiti represented by musical harps symbolizing Joy and celebration."
You do know that, historically, the oldest Jews are Black African? And how they HAD to let them into Israel...?
No?
LOOK IT UP.
Here's a HINT...
Ethiopia.
"Button hole circumcision practiced by African great lakes tribes such as: Kalenjin, Maasai, Datooga (Barabaig), Dassanech, Kikuyu, Meru, Tiriki etc. Was also practiced in ancient Egypt... (cont'd)
"Battle ground Slate Palettes recording victories of Proto-dynastic Egyptians shows conquered lower pre-dynastic Egyptians practiced this form of circumcision..." (cont'd)
"Coincidentally, most of these tribes have oral histories of their migration from Ancient Egypt. Kemet had mostly south Nilotic and Bantu cultural elements."
The rest of this may blow the minds of some conditioned to a whitewashed and myopically Eurocentric view of the world.
Those of us who know our African history, however...
The coins may or may not be verified, but the history told in the pic is... accurate.
Oh, hey, lookit that...
What 'till you find out who the Statue Of Liberty's supposed to representing...
NOW that line makes sense...
Preach.
Ok, I think that's everything from my "Yass My Blackness" Pinterest board.
Honestly, these took like under an hr of my time to originally find
And, as I said: plain as the nose on your face.
If anyone you know still doubles down on the Elizabeth Taylor version of ancient Egypt...
after being shown this here thread, not only do they have a SERIOUS case of cognitive dissonance, it's an indication of more troubling underlying issues they have, and they're not worth your time.
Have a good one.
I kept referring to things being plain as the nose on your face... and to noses being shot off, right?
Ahem.
Wanna know why you don't know ANY of this...?
Thank peeps like Napoleon--who's the one that shot off the Sphynx's nose--& Thomas Cromwell, for you guys not knowing Black Africans, in addition to bringing Europe out of the Dark Ages, seriously intermarried into European royalty...
That's why they did THIS...
Removal of noses on African statues to try to make their race unidentifiable.
As you can plainly see, there's been an attempt to destroy and play down the significance of the indigenous Black African in contributing to history.
