Negro-Egyptian, Cyena-Ntu Explained

[imhotep06]

Join me this coming Friday, February 28th at 9PM Eastern time, as I discuss and provide an overview of the Negro-Egyptian (Cyena-Ntu) language family, whose framework I utilize in Aaluja Vol. II: Cyena-Ntu Religion and Philosophy (2020). We explore the details of what makes this a language family and how it served as a model in the works of Jean-Claude Mboli (2010) and Asar Imhotep (2015, 2016, 2020) . This will be a lesson in linguistics, but efforts will be made to explain everything as simply as possible. We will also discuss, briefly, the epistemological problems with the Joseph Greenberg categorizations of African languages and how this paradigm has stifled African linguistics.

I discuss Egyptian hair in the following video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUwtKORsCu8. It is from both the hieroglyphic perspective, and the linguistic perspective that is relevant to this thread.


I have two corrections in this video. At 28:20 the person depicted is a Karrayyu man from Ehtiopia. At 54:50 the person depicted is an Afar man from Ethiopia.

Ancient Egyptian was not a Bantu language. Ancient Egyptian was a lingua franca that's why it is related to various Black African languages.

The hair issue is an interesting one. Sadly, various ideologues including academic
ones have attempted to use hair to deafricanize ancient Kemet, holding for example that
finds of "Caucasian" hair "prove" said Kemetians were not African or "black." Unfortunately
for them, other sources point out that the Egyptians used wigs quite heavily and imported
hair for these wigs from the Maghreb, Mediterranean, and "Middle East" which explains why
so much "Caucasian" hair shows up in some archaeological sites/. Keita also points out that
the hair of Africans is widely diverse, from the "peppercorns" of the San in southern Africa,
to the loose, curly, almost straight types in the Horn of Africa, to tightly curled types
in West Africa- all within the natural built-in range and diversity of African peoples without
needing any "race mix" to explain why.

While the "hair wars" have died down from a decade ago some racist types still recycle BS
talking points here and there on the web. Recap for new readers to debunk hair ideologues:
