Ancient History Is Often Like A Puzzle That Is Waiting To Be Solved.
To help solve the mysterious puzzle surrounding the origins of the ancient Egyptian people and the ancient biblical Hebrews, we must begin to unscramble the data and clues left to us within the often biased fields of Archaeology, Egyptology, Anthropology, Linguistics, and Genetics. These fields offer crucial historical insights that can illuminate the connections between Egypt and the Levant, particularly in relation to faith and religion.
Unless we start to gather all of these pieces together, there is no solving this mystery puzzle, which has so far been presented to us in a neatly wrapped, Eurocentric-driven agenda, cloaked in a white supremacist narrative, for the past five hundred years.
Within this voluminous series of blog posts, I will begin to assemble all of these pieces as I attempt to solve these mysteries. I will offer readers peer-reviewed, empirical data and evidence from all of the fields of study and research mentioned above, creating a clear picture regarding the who, what, when, and where of the ancient peoples of Egypt and the Levant.
These particular depictions of ancient Nubians are among the most powerful and pervasive images used in Egyptology today, and are some of the absolute favorites of many Eurocentric-minded individuals. They often suggest that the barbaric southern dark-skinned ancient Nubians were perpetually subject to and were the slaves of the more advanced northern lighter-skinned ancient Egyptians.
The truth is that these are not slaves, but rather Nubian captives or prisoners!
If the ancient Nubians were backward and barbaric, as many people often suggest, how were they able to consistently challenge ancient Egypt for supremacy in the region, let alone supply their northern neighbors with skillfully crafted items like chairs, bedding, pottery, jewelry, luxurious goods, precious metals, and raw materials from the southern part of the African continent? Throughout these blog posts, it will become abundantly clear that modern Egyptology has severely limited and downplayed the role of the Nubians in ancient Egyptian history.
Nonetheless, these excellently executed relief scenes show Nubian captives or prisoners from the Memphite tomb of General (later Pharaoh) Horemheb being kept under the close watch of stick-wielding Egyptian guards, while a scribe records them during the reign of Tutankhamen.
