Hawass never associates Nubians, Africans, Black ...

Hawass never associates Nubians, Africans, Black Africans with the Egyptian civilization. Why? He talks about Egypt as though it is not of the African Continent. Why?

I don't have an answer to that question but I too have noticed for a long time that Hawass has no problem robbing or assisting in the robbing of ancient tombs and I believe it is because he has no ancestry ties the ancient people of Kemet. The same as some white americans have no problem building upon or destroying Native American burial sites but it's a federal crime to try to dig up a former president.

 

I am not sure about this statement that Hawass never mentions that Black Africans have a prominent role with Egyption history. I am certain that he is quite familiar with Akhenaten who was one of Egypt's most famous rulers. Akehenaten's son, King Tut, is the most famous ruler of Egypt. (known by most because of his tomb was found intact) How did you arrive at this statement that Hawass does not acknowlwedge the Black African rulers of Egypt? (see link below for more info)

Akhenaten wasn't black...

And the reason that he doesn't mention any Nubians or ''

black Africans'' is because they didn't - with exceptions - play a prominant role in the governship and founding of Egypt. Egyptians are Afro-Asiatic and thus related to the Semites and Cushites and the Nubians were only immigrants to Egypt and were usually lower class or slaves.

It is a myth created by black racists that most Egyptians are black; they are not. It would be like saying the English or Germans are.

The Egyptians were basically Semitic, like today's Arabs. If you notice the pictures by Egyptians during their day, you see themselves portrayed overseeing Nubians, or black slaves. The Egyptians of old, resemble The Egyptians of today, and neither were or are black. Of course that flies in the face of today's pop culture, but reality is actually reality. There was no advanced black culture, like the Egyptians, in all of Africa.

 
 

Duh1 Because they weren't black, until the later two dynasties for about 100 years.

 

Soooo Cushites aren't black? I think your racist teachings that you've received from your so-called experts on the African continent have led you to some false theories on Egypt and all Northern Nile Valley indigenous people.  All these classes of people you've mention from Africa (Semites, Cushites, and Nubians) do not actually pertain to Northern Nile Valley peoples in the case of race.  In ancient times there were  no such thing as race classifications like there is in modern day time.  That is something that "Modern Man" has created today to distant himself from other classes of people that is believed to be inferior to his own.  But to answer the question that was asked,  the current rulers of Egypt have no true understanding of the people and the culture that they are digging up.  They (Arabs) were foreign conquerers just like the Greeks and just like the Romans.  All other conquerers from Egypt and upper Nile Valleys were the Hyksos from Asia.  Therefore,  all other occupants of Egypt were "African", not black African or white African, or even brown African, but just African.

At the end of the ice age, (some 12,500 years ago) people from Asia Minor began to settle in the Nile delta. Nubians from the south began to settle along the Nile river. They fought a great war with each other, but eventually... these two peoples came together as one people - one nation... and Egypt was born! Egyptians are PART African and PART Asian. (They are a mixture of the two) Also... Egyptians are NOT Arabs as most people believe. Technically... only people from Saudia Arabia are truly "Arabs".
