The First Egyptians were Black People - Ethiopians





The picture of the beautiful black woman is Queen Nerfertiti (A Black Egyptian Queen)

Please make sure you order or go to the Public Library to read the National Geographic February 2008 Addition. About the Black Pharaohs. Also if you haven't seen The Movie Prince Of Egypt please buy it or rent it. This movie shows that the first Egyptians on this earth were Black People (Ethiopians). Great Movie!

The great thing about this movie was it showed Black People (Ethiopians ) as the first Egyptians and it showed our different black skin tones. The disappointing thing that I didn't like about this movie was they used White Actors instead of Black Actors voice as the characters but besides that this movie gets an A+

In the second movie the guy pointed out that the first people were from Africa. Even though we are all of different cultures and ethnic groups we still were originated from the same place. The guy said that even though humankind are all from the same place he thinks that the Egytpian region where we came from had some diveristy in itself.
The first clip talked about how in Egypt staues are models were black but in Egypt it didn't always represent their skin color. It sometimes showed the fertility of the land. One main point in the clip was that in ancient times colors represented a lot of different things. Gold represented the sun so they used a lot of gold in staues, not because the people were literally gold, but it represented something so much bigger than itself. The sun meant happiness and prosperity so that color was used a lot.
In the blog the man pinpointed the beauty and power of black. He leaned on the fact that the first people were black. He also had a clip of the Great Debaters on their showing that we will fight for what's right and persevere through the hard times.
