How King Tut exhibitions became a multimillion-dollar industry :

[BlackDiBiase]

In 1922, Howard Carter made the most exciting archaeological discovery of the 20th century. Working with backing from George Herbert, 5th Earl of Carnarvon, the Egyptologist uncovered a tomb just west of Luxor and the Nile River, in the Valley of the Kings.
It was the most intact tomb of its kind ever found, relatively untouched by the grave robbers who'd looted nearby crypts in the intervening millennia. Because the ancient Egyptians had buried their dead with everything they'd need for the afterlife, there was plenty to steal.
The tomb, Carter discovered, belonged to pharaoh Tutankhamun (ruled ca. 1334-25 B.C.E.) and housed more than 5,000 objects that ranged from the magnificent to the prosaic: Tut's solid gold inner-coffin, sandals, statues, jewelry, textiles, oars for navigating the underworld and even linen loincloths.

The find was exciting on its own; a canny media ploy gave the excavation additional publicity. British newspaper The Times paid £5,000 for exclusive access to the tomb, one of the first paid scoops in history. The public frenzied.
"From the discovery in 1922, this vision of magnificence of pharaonic culture captured the imagination of just about every school child the world over," said Adam Lowe, the founder of digital conservation lab Factum Arte, which completed a three-dimensional recreation of the tomb in 2014. King Tut, a chronically ill child ruler who died at around 19 years old, was an overnight celebrity whose star has yet to fade.
Carter's discovery was just the beginning of King Tut mania. Herbert died in 1923, shortly after entering the tomb -- most likely from an infected mosquito bite -- and a series of people connected with him and Carter suffered mysterious traumas. Rumors of King Tut's curse circulated.

The problem with this magazine cover is it implies these "black pharoahs" are the ONLY time "black" people were in Egypt and therefore suggests that they"the nubians" conquered a non black people. shyt is stupid.

I bet you there's some cats that would try to discredit the works of him or Cheikh Anta Diop.

So people go to Egypt and these are out in full display?







and yet people (well people) try to argue they weren't black Africans?

what is your definition of “black”? Because there are clear depictions in the Hieroglyphs of “Sub Saharan” people being conquered and bowing down.

Black just means people with melanin but not necessarily African.

In this context, Ancient Egyptians were a "black" people of African descent.

Culturally, linguistically, genetically and anthropologically speaking, there's countless scholarly work that attest to this. Are you suggesting that the Ancient Egyptians were not African or that the indigenous people of North Africa are the same people that make up the population today?

Sub Saharan implies anyone in North Africa not being African or black but the Sahara desert was once a green lushland in which Africans south moved up and started forming civilizations there. It was said to be covered mostly in sea.

race did not exist back then. The people in Lower Egypt made it clear that they were “not the same” as the people in Upper Egypt nor were they the same as Western Asians. There were period where people we define in Modern times as being Black Africans ruled all of egypt. Regardless majority of the stuff that even matters in Egypt were discovered in the place we identify those Black Africans being.

All the Egyptians that were up north or in lower egypt came from the "south" which is what we call today nubia. Ancient Egyptians are basically nubians at it's earliest. They were different from western asians of course, because they were African. Egypt was a civilization that started from the nile and borrowed a lot of it's traditions from Nubia(modern day Sudan). They were essentially free from outsiders for almost 3000 years until 1500BC when they were invaded by west asian nomads(the Hyskos).

The reason I mention this is because people(usually laymen) seem to be in contention that Egypt was this multiracial or melting pot of people but they neglect to mention that the old kingdom and middle kingdom was largely comprised of Africans up until their first and then subsequent invasions by outsiders. When headlines call the Nubian invasion of Egypt in 730BC "the black pharoahs", it implies that Egypt wasn't really Black(they'll contend and say they were African but not "black" or related to sub saharan Africans.)

DNA shows this to be patently false.

Ive always said that sarcophagus is tough.Just imagine all the stuff that hasn't been discovered from ancient Egypt and ancient Nubia also. I know there's still some stuff there that'll blow people's minds.

My point is the definition of “Black” is made up. We link to think to be African is to be “Black” but them there are contradictions with this logic because there are “Black” Africans classified as Caucasians.

You’re over complicating it good brother. The answer is right in front of you.
