Hapi Talks With The Esteemed Professor Anthony Browser About The Nubian Presence In Ancient Kemet
I've posted some of professor Browser's vids before, this was an update to what's going on with the only self founded dig by African diasporean or AA community, in this he made note of the Sankofa symbol in two 25th stand at tombs, from a temple in the 18th dyn. And on a piece of pottery in Kerma. Would like to view those symbols, he also suggest direct migrations to and from the Nile Valley through a system of dried up rivers connecting the Nile and the Niger river valley.
Pls klik^^ put some thought into it and respond, pro or con.

Never heard of this film before or Hapi Talks. But it seemed well put together, I only wished I've known of it or them before an accidental side bar findings.

It looks like an interesting film, but from the snippets seen, people got to wonder how it ties in with the black business thing. Yeah, the Egyptians built pyramids, and did agriculture and trade but how does that help black entrepreneurs today? Boyse Watkins and a few others are in the trailer but its all generalities they are talking about. Julianne Maliveux says economics and politics is the study of who gets what, where and why. OK, but again how is this generality which doesn't say anything really helpful for a businessman trying to decide on a location, or product mix or fighting competitors across the street? Then Professor James Small takes about the word eco and ecology and so on, and says Hapi means the Nile River and how the Egyptians got water and food from Hapi. But again, how does this Afrocentric stuff help black business in the here and now? The pharaoh monopolized everything and most of the trade was for luxury goods benefitting only the higher ups with connections. What are today's black people to learn from that?

I can only hope to see the full vid, to see how it come together, but I believe having control over ones own resources is a start , markets existed in Egypt so did private property, everything wasn't owned by the Pharoah you did get taxed tho, This was even more so in west Africa but again need to view the full vid.
