ANCIENT EGPYT WAS A BLACK AFRICAN CIVILISATION

In a bid to present our ancestors as primitive people, European anthropologists and historians would discount the contributions of Africans towards civilisation. Ancient Egyptian civilisation is a case in point. Its achievements were often presented as the products of a White culture - for example, by the likes of French Egyptologist Gaston Camille Charles Maspero (1846-1916).

More recently, British writer Graham Hancock even suggested that Egyptian civilisation was (at the time) impossible to achieve without assistance from an advanced race - be it alien or some lost civilisation.

In this clip from the Cairo Museum, a lecturer in African history, civilisation, religion and culture dispels these myths using hair samples from ancient Egyptians to show that they were undoubtedly Black Africans.
