Inside the Lives of Ancient Egyptian Scribes | Perspective Full 

Why not 5 stars then?

Right on!👌👍

I am a modern day scribe, draftsperson and designer, and I think you have it exactly right. Ayla is right, as well.

Egyptians were a Caucasoid people.

Absolutely 💯 ‼️

Yes Rahotep and nofret and the seated scribes statues are totally black people, you’ll probably say they’re fake though 😂

Doubtless there were Nubian scribes.

@@jeff1993. Rahotep has had the brown paint scraped off. Just look at the forehead and fingers and see the true color. When they scrape the black/brown paint it looks pale

@@baerkaabnaab2388 no evidence of that buddy, that’s what you wish it is, the statues are thousands of years old…..

@@baerkaabnaab2388 why would anyone scratch the paint off? You know how crazy you sound?

Stick fighting is found throughout Africa.

Stick fighting is a southern thing in Egypt actually. I’m Egyptian.

@@DrGogu-yd6jc it's a traditional thing in that comes from the North. Doesn't mean it can't be done anywhere else. :)

@@nefwaenre it actually went from South to North. It is practiced in Sudan, West Africa, East Africa and Southern Africa. It is an African thing.

@@DrGogu-yd6jc i was wondering do you consider yourself african?

Same here...AND the gorgeous, unpainted, figurative relief-work in the "Rameses" tomb, with eyes detailed in black!

Horemheb had a decent length of reign (although he wasn't young when he gained the throne), and as a commoner he already had a magnificent tomb and forecourt in Saqqara, so I'm a bit puzzled by the incompleteness of his royal tomb KV57. Why didn't Paramesse and his son make a bigger effort to finish it, or were they too preoccupied with asserting the Ramesside claim to the succession?

@@thomasdykstra100 Translation should have read "Ramose", a vizier in the 18th Dynasty. Tomb TT55

Possibly a forgery. It has also been suggested by some that the famous bust of Nefertiti may also be a forgery as the ancient Egyptians were not really known for their realistic depictions of people. For them realism or naturalism in art doesn't seem to have been very important.

Believe it or not,This youtube app completely deleted my comment while I was typing it....All this is bs starting with the idiots trying to tell someone else's story....Dig up Moses & put him on display or any of the characters in their books ..grave robbing bastard thieves

They appear to have painted people in differing skin-tones. I would say realism was somewhat important to them.

@APEP HATEM go and read your history books properly and use common sense and stop sitting on others history. You are one of the invaders offspring. Even herodutos said black skinned with woolly hair. What makes me laugh is that in recent times a lot of you guys agreed that the so called black nubuians ruled Egpyt at one point apparently because all truths can no longer be denied. How interesting is it that non white people all over the world will always want to put the black race down LOL. So the so called dumb race ruled Egypt for a while

@APEP HATEM don’t listen to black people about Egypt, 95 percent of them say they were black because they’re biased, they just ignore statues and dna. Yeah blacks built Egypt and then all just left down south and live in poor countries now.,.yeah ok lol

Another culture vulture. Get a life

قدماء المصريين مصريين ليست افريقي ليست سود البشرة بعضهم سمراء اللون من سمرة الشمس احنا مذكورين فى القرآن الكريم وعندنا والأدلة لا تنسبو أشياء ليست لكم

أنا أعتذر لا أقصد الإساءة عن قولى لون البشرة السودة هذا خلق الله

Similar to the designs of other African cultures. Africans did settle the Americas long before Columbus or Amerigo de Vespucci.

@@listenup2882 Amen

@APEP HATEM Egyptians are descended from Mizraim, one of the sons of Ham in Genesis 10:6 in the Bible. All Black people are descended from Ham, including the ancient Egyptians who were not the wheat-colored Arabs “we” see today. Black and brown ancient Egyptians are not shown due to racism of whites and Arabs, who sell racist figurines of Black men to this day near the same pyramids that Black Egyptians built.

@@debrajohnson3851 Amen. Those Arabs currently residing in the land of Kemet are descendants of Arab invaders, not descendants of Pre-Dynastic or Dynastic Kemet. They always use the word “we” like they made any contributions to this marvelous indigenous African Civilization. There is no excuse for any intelligent person to deny that the early Nile Valley inhabitants were true Africans. Ancient writers all the way to todays researchers have verified this.

@APEP HATEM We. You transplant. Like the white people of America. Go back 1000 years. Not one white person. Look what happened in 400 year's. You don't think the same thing happened in Egypt. Look how dark the present day people look in the Nile valley. Still black. You know why? Because Muslims see black as evil. The Quran states it. Your prophet Muhammad hated black people. He idolized white skin

@APEP HATEM ☝️😂 an Afrocentric is mad lol.

@@debrajohnson3851 yeah black Egyptians built the pyramids and all just left down south and live in poor cities now yeah right. pyramids were built in the old kingdom, Rahotep and nofret, seated scribe, ptahkhenuwy and his wife, statue of Kai from Giza are statues from the old kingdom, yeah totally black people all right 😆

Similarly, in Europe, when Latin was used in legal documents, scribes would copy a model document without ever being able to understand the language.

yoda-if your ancestors were from the middle east, youre a descendant of the invaders, circa 600 ad, and can only be proud of striping pyramids to build mosques, garbage and fllth in 3000 years old monuments. telling people , or inferring your ancestors built something , you as a descendant know nothing of is more theft and lies.period. to show you all how fowl you people are, indigenous blacks, are left out of the 15 billion a year, taken in by african achievement. you got nothing to be proud of mentioned in this documentary, unless lying and usurping others achievement are now laudable.

But the creators of Egypt now live in eastern/ western Africa, present day Egyptians are the invaders, the later Egypt

I agree .

I agree with you. Too many egos showing up in some of these videos. We don't need to see people's faces when we could be seeing the artifacts

@@heenanyou ,why are so many people commenting on the video . The narrator doesn't need to be seen . As it is a distraction .

ur a naive human being

Thankfully they have it and not the Arab nations that invaded Egypt and still live there today, otherwise they would continue to hide the indigenous people of Egypt, exactly similar to European Americans try to hide the existence of true native Americans

Nupuqi Om-Re Khonectics chamber degrees will guide you

esjey-2 different civilizations. and why isnt these iraqui civilizations encapsulated under a discipline like egyptology? because the onus was on displacing the ownership of the african prototype of society, statehood, medicines, surgery, sciences, astronomy, architecture, civic and governmental responsibility, reading and writing and several other advancements, while westeners were teaching euros pioneered these things. all the fathers of greek disciplines , like medicine, philosophy, advanced math, astronomy etc , were given to greeks, who in their own words, attributed their knowledge to black scribes.

@@georgemckenzie1824 Which of the Greeks attributed their knowledge to black scribes?

@@lucillejerome5511 i knew that would be a sticking point. one querry :Like his contemporaries, Pathgororus journeyed in his youth to Egypt where he studied for almost 15 years. He travelled to Egypt for the purpose of education, and took advantage of the friendship between his follow Greek Polycrates and Pharaoh Amasis. Polycrates gave Pythagoras a letter of introduction to Pharaoh Amasis.he admitted that many who are "celebrated among the Greeks for intelligence and learning" studied in Egypt. When Africans finished building the pyramids in 2500BC, it was 1,700 years before Homer, the first Greek writer, began writing The Iliad, the European classic. Hippocrates was a Greek physician born during the 5th century BC. Early in his life he traveled to Egypt to study medicine. After his studies Hippocrates spends some time as a traveling teacher before returning to Athens. he credited imhotep who died thousands of years before hypocrates was born, and imotep credited his own ancestors for his knowledge. now do we have to prove , ancient egypt was an african civilization, too? that info was literally once click away. either the claim was to far outside your frame of reference or all blacks acknowleging their collective histories, are afrocentrics...or finally euros are all known for their complete honesty and integrity when controlling narratives to profit off of foreign policy.

@@georgemckenzie1824 I know that the Greeks learned from the Egyptians, more than we were ever taught. You said specifically "black scribes" so I asked for that information thinking you had specific information about "black scribes". Didn't expect an insult or an assault on my integrity.

I hate when they do that in documentaries, it’s so confusing. Especially since I speak French and English 😞

Ancient scribes of India are called - kayastha. Very similar history to the scribes of ancient Egypt

@APEP HATEM bro Egypt is in AFRICA there are black ppl there

@APEP HATEM Where did you get this date of 30000 years, care to share? When you arrived here you found no one and nothing here right🤣? By the way did you also go to Nubia/Sudan, where Egyptian culture and civilisation began, to copy it and take it back to Egypt? Why is Egyptian style art and architecture not found wherever you came from before invading if you are responsible for it as you are insinuating? You are right about one thing, you Arab invaders are not us Africans. This is Africa and all ancient art, culture and civilisation found here was built and inspired by Africans, the term sub-saharan doesn’t change that.

@APEP HATEM - culture vulture, get a life. Arab people envy black American history and style too. We survive and thrive in the belly of the beast, not submit and conform like wannabes 😌

@APEP HATEM fyi DNA has proven ancient Egyptian were black and most modern day Egyptians are a mixture of Greek, Roman, and Coptic Egyptians. Egypt was invaded and ruled by these particular nations for centuries. Egypt is in Africa so all because you are mixed does take away the realities of the original indigenous populations of Egypt. Similar to America which people think of as white, they glaze over they invaded America it doesn't make them native Americans.

@APEP HATEM YOU'RE RIGHT! YOU WERE, and STILL ARE INVADERS💡

You're acting just like a child who still believes in Santa Claus.

@APEP HATEM you're not part of the black Egyptian so no one is talking about you

@APEP HATEM you are not an ancient Egyptian you are a mixed Sperm from somewhere else.😀🤣🤣
