Hello, Egyptsearch Reloaded, I am eternalsky and am new to this forum, yet I have been lurking this forum and the original Egyptsearch for the past few months. I have figured out a lot through these forums and have general become more educated and enlightened on many subjects because of my experience with them. I initially stumbled upon Egyptsearch for a reason that is the opposite of what one would expect, self-hatred. After spending long periods of times constantly reading Eurocentric nonsense about the low IQ of black people, the Hamitic race hypothesis, and how blacks had never created a civilization; I began to gain a major inferiority complex. All I wanted was to gain the acceptance of whites, as a result of this I decided to look for information about certain undeniably black civilizations (i.e. Oyo, Benin, Zimbabwe) and I eventually found a variety of links from Egyptsearch and Egyptsearch Reloaded. I had seen these links many times, but disregarded them as "Afrocentric nonsense" because "how dare they inquire on the Negritude of Egypt?" Eventually, I came upon a specific post here that gave genetic evidence of Sub-Saharan influence in Ramses III (IIRC) and I was hooked ever since. I began to realize that "our history didn't begin with slavery..." and along with the reading of Black Skins, White Masks by Frantz Fanon and watching the film 500 Years Later I realized that these emotions were not specific to me. That black African people and there descendents today are STILL facing discrimination and prejudice.
tl;dr Had an inferiority complex, came here, became enlightened.

Welcome Eternalsky my personal motto is Each One Teach One we have our debates and sometimes it can be heated but we generally learn from such exchanges in essence we can disagree without being disagreeable pls ask questions perhaps we don't have an answer but we can search together.

Hello Everyone, I'm Rivertemz, I just registered on this site yesterday, I've come across egyptsearch and egyptsearchreloaded several times before, since last year. Surprisingly I too have the same experience and approach to ancient Egypt as eternalsky , literally almost word for word. I was very sceptical towards Afrocentrist, since most (not all) but most of them do not hold the same academic tools and source reliability most general scholars have in world history. They just seem to wander with passion rather than solid facts on what 'race' the A.Egyptian truly were. As well as most Eurocentrist aka NeoNazis in most online forums or Egyptian nationalists that attempt to fabricate the current sources linking Egypt with the rest of Africa(ie the ex president of Cairo antiquities, Zahi Hawass). And the same for me after the revealed dna results of both the Amarna family and Ramesse III, consisting of majority sub-Saharan lineage. I became even more interested and intrigued with Ancient Egypt. I definitely felt guilty for giving a blind eye at those same Aurocentrist who I felt their decades in the A.E. race controversy was in vein. Were being proven right by the very source of data Europeans thought would debunk our African connections, SCIENCE DNA/genetics has played a huge part in debunking the centuries of European imperial/national supremacy on the entire globe. The origins of Man The rulers of a great Empire And much more. I am a young student living in the UK, 19 Studying Undergraduate Biomedical Science A Nigerian (ethnic group-Yoruba ) And very interesting in Science, History, Anthropology, Archaeology, Astronomy, Architecture etc. (I might end up repeating this in another thread for the particular related discussions). I would like to share this article with you, came out 3 years ago, debunking the claim on King tut being related to ~ 1/2 European men; www.livescience.com/15388-discovery-channel-tutankhamen-dna.htmlMay have come across this already. But I've done a Lot of research on Ancient Egypt so far. And I would like to be kept updated on research that they are still keeping under the lime-light.
