Your comment is very understarred. Thumbs up from me :)

Greek Historian Herodotus: "Egyptians are dark skinned with wooly hair like their neighbors to the South, the Kushites. Americans don't want Egyptian history, but for Modern Egyptians to deny that Egypt was made up of Sub Saharan Africans and not the post Persian invasion Egyptians is ridiculous. As far as Egypt as a Nation yes it is your history because you're Egyptian, but to deny that Modern day Egyptians weren't the builders of civilization and the monuments is ridiculous.

@@jamescummings6703 You are completely misquoting Herodotus. Please learn to quote accurately instead of spreading misinformation. Herodotus described Egyptians as different from the people to the south in sub-Saharan Africa, and even if he did state they were the same (which he absolutely did not), Herodotus has been wrong / not completely correct about events in history.

@@31hallite In regular entertainment, musicals, tv-shows, movies, you are allowed to have creative liberties in your art. Like in the 2004 movie Alexander, Colin Farrell plays the role of Alexander the Great and his generals have Irish accents, because Macedonia was considered Rural in Ancient Greece. However in a documentary, it is expected that you are as close to the truth, that is available at that moment. The race swap is the least of its problems. The series simplify, misinterpret and even completely fabricate facts of thing like, the situation of Egypt and Rome in that period, how events actually folded out and the actual personalities and world views of people like Caesar, Octavian and Cleopatra.

People act like they are blind when it comes to African history. The statues of Egypt are very clear representation of the Black man. Those images look nothing like this fake Egyptian talking trash.

Exactly. KEY word: DOCUMENTARY. Unfortunately most commenters seem not to unerstend what this meens.

No it’s docu-fiction… it’s very différent. I thought mermaids existed because of some damn docu-fiction. and I was ashamed to have told my friends that mermaids existed. You have to avoid docu-fiction, or check every piece of information. for the mermaids they had organized a fake autopsy of a mysterious creature found by the sea... the joke! Everything was wrong... I looked for the doctors in question... they didn't exist… when I read "docu-fiction", I now read "fiction", because you never know if what you are being told is true, or not.

Well, a "documentary" to some people still carries plenty of freedom for artistic expression, as well as cultural appropriation. LOL. If their feelings trump everything, a simple definition of "documentary" isn't going to stop them, imho.

You can't show these people anything. If you portray Aristophanes as black (even as a joke) they will be 100% be sure that historically he was black.

@Radu Damian I guess you're right.

As an Egyptian, my observation is this: the black gentleman is NOT African, but rather a North American belonging to an extremist political fringe movement. It is very sad that he knows so little about the amazing, rich, and ancient cultures of W. Africa. Conversely Bassem Youssef showed that he is far more knowledgeable about African culture than the person claiming to be African because he shares skin color with our African brethren. As a lover of history, i wish for the opportunity to travel W.Africa and see for myself all the things we were taught in history classes in our schools here. It also amazes me that we in Egypt learn more (and in a serious manner) about African history (in all its glory and detail) than AMERICANS such as that gentleman who claims to be a proponent of it. If he knew his history, he would be proud of it. He is trying to steal others' history because he doesn't know the greatness of the W. African heritage from where he may possibly come. There are many worldly, scholarly and educated Americans. He belongs more to the category of American who think pineapples DO belong on a Pizza, and that you can put ketchup on Caviar. Piers should have gotten an actual W.African (i have a personal fascination with Senegal) for an actual CREDIBLE opinion.

SMH! The current Egyptians are Arabs that migrated to Africa! The ancient Egyptians were black Africans with dark skin and nappy hair not straight hair like the current Arab Egyptians! SMH! Also, not one Arab had anything to say when Cleopatra was portrayed as a white women by white people! LOL! Its sad that some Arabs have adopted white supremacy ideology!

It’s NOT THEIR HISTORY. The ancient Egyptians have nothing to do with modern day Egypt. Just as the Americans have nothing to do with ancient “America.” Before them were the native indigenous peoples. NO CULTURE or RACE remains in the same location for OVER 5000 years. There’s always migration for various reasons due to natural weather calamities, available resources, war or a combination.

cleopatra was a part of ANCIENT Egypt

he did spread some casual lies about history which is something I can't stand, I think Bassem is passionate & kind person however I'm just wondering why is it wrong for egypt to build borders with gaza? every country has a borders!

Yeah, he isnt an anti-Semite, however his actions will barely do anything to the massive hate that still stands against Jews in Arab countrys. Its impossible to get Mizrahi Jews to move back. The best idea is just to not try and keep Israel. As long as Israel exists the Arabs will hate the Jews, and even if the Jews move out of Israel the Arabs will "revenge" or whatever. Bassem is good, even though I disagree with him on Gaza war.

So Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Those who know history knows Cleopatra was of greek origin.

He may be a good human being. That doesn't mean he's right on every subject. Regarding this video, the fact remains that Cleopatra's ethnicity is still debated among scientists and experts in various fields, let alone the ethnic makeup of Ancient Egyptians from the earlier dynasties. There is to date no consensus even among experts, despite his talking as if there is. Also found it interesting that he said that Egyptians were angry about Elizabeth Taylor playing Cleopatra, but then went on to say that it was because of her stance on Israel - so not about her being white. Anyway, DNA would solve a lot of this, but Egypt is not cooperating. Why would they not release it? Unless the results do not support their views....

I dont know if you are aware, but Netflix also portrayed ACHILLES as a black person in their Netflix series TROY 😂

And we will be cancelled so hard if that happen lol

I think this is the main point, I’m also Greek and I don’t care too much w/e Netflix does because it will likely be shit anyway. But the hypocrisy is unbelievable! Cleopatra was Greek, daughter of Ptolemy. This isn’t a question up for debate and I don’t see why this other man interviewed makes it seem like it is. It really is no different to if Brad Pitt was picked to play MLK.

Well, he is obviously not pretending to be silly and immature, but is exactly that. Quite stupid and cheap of TV shows to invite such empty dudes who can't build a minimum idea in their heads but try to sell misery to other immature and ignorant people.

The ancient Egyptians were cattle herders. Modern Egyptians are primarily descended from camel herders (such as Berbers/Syrians/Arabs). Furthermore, the livestock found in modern Egypt isn;t the same breed as that of ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptians herded a specific type of cattle known as the Sanga cattle which is no longer found in Egypt. The Sanga cattle has long horns and is mostly found amongst Nilotic groups (or Afro-Eurasian admixed groups who have significant Nilotic admixture such as the Fulanis, Northern Sudanese, Ethiopians, and Somalis). These are the groups who show clear morphological similarities to the people drawn on the walls of the pyramids. They are now found in the Sahelian regions of Africa. This region spans from Ethiopia to Mauritania. The DNA that connects all cattle herders in Africa is found the highest amongst the SOuth Sudanese Nilotic groups like the Dinka. Although the largest number of cattle is found in Ethiopia, the oldest of this cattle species was discovered in Sudan where the Dinka live, with a dating of 10,000 years. This ultimately debunks the claim that cattle domestication originated with Eurasian groups like ARabs (who are actually camel herders). I suggest you to read this study: "Cow about that! New research overturns traditional thoughts about domesticated cattle" In other words, the claim that Eurasians brought the cattle culture to Africa isn’t backed by any solid evidence - since the vast majority of Eurasian groups in Africa herd camel, sheep, and goats, not cattle. Berbers and Arabs, for example, are camel herders, showing that they couldn’t have been those ancient Egyptians drawn on the pyramid walls. The Sahelian cattle herders are the prototype of those ancient people drawn on the walls. Modern Egyptians are merely descendants of those ancient cattle herders. However, they’re not the prototype of the cattle herders since they now have significantly higher admixture from West Asia. Hence why their cattle looks different and they no longer have the same culture as the ancients.

@@alyshmahell The oldest human specimen ever discovered in Egypt was Nazlet Khater 2 (NK 2). It was said to be 33,000 years old and was discovered in 1980 near Tahta in Upper Egypt. Morphological analysis of the Nazlet Khater mandible indicates that the specimen was distinct from the examined Late Pleistocene and Holocene North African specimens.[3] Ron Pinhasi and Patrick Semal (2000) found strong Sub-Saharan affinities in the 33,000 skeleton from Nazlet Khater, Upper Egypt as the authors noted "The morphometric affinities of the 33,000 year old skeleton from Nazlet Khater, Upper Egypt are examined using multivariate statistical procedures. The results indicate a strong association between some of the sub-Saharan Middle Stone Age (MSA) specimens, and the Nazlet Khater mandible. Furthermore, the results suggest that variability between African populations during the Neolithic and Protohistoric periods was more pronounced than the range of variability observed among recent African and Levantine populations."[4] Although the skeleton predates the Sub Saharans, the people alive today who are most closely affiliated with the skeleton are the modern day Sub Saharans and Australo Melanesians. Therefore, Nazlet Khater skeletons were ancestral to Sub Saharan Africans. Furthermore, modern-day Sub-Saharans lack SLC24A5, which was the allele associated with light and olive skin tones. This allele entered Africa AND EUROPE during the Neolithic. The lack of SLC24A5 in the vast majority of Sub-Saharan Africans indicates that Nazlet Khater 2 could NOT have looked like the man on the right. The man on the left is a better representation of the skin color of Nazlet Khater.

@@alyshmahell Aly calm down I didn't say everything yet 🙄 do you even know who Sulkalmakh is? the artist, never even explained how and why he chose the skin tone of the man on the right during the reconstruction. Other artists who do these reconstructions have clarified that skin colour is subjective, which means they don’t take into consideration the actual alleles. If they had, Nazlet Khater should be dark to black considering that SLC24A5 (which is associated with olive and tanned Mediterranean groups) was not in Africa until 10,000 years ago. It’s been proven many times that early upper paleolithic people were dark to black-skinned, not olive or tanned. Olive and tanned skin are associated with SLC24A5 from West Asia.It’s already been ascertained that even the early Europeans were all dark to black.

@@alyshmahell So, did you read the study: "Black Neanderthals, black blue-eyed Cro-Magnons"? Even Anthropologists have been investing significant effort in reconstructing the appearance of ancient humans, but who and why would be interested in the result? What is the use for knowing archaic human phenotype? 🤷‍♂️ We have an answer: from the very beginning, the reconstruction methods, in addition to merely satisfying scientists’ curiosity, had a very practical application - the forensic examination. In particular, anthropologists helped in putting names on unidentified remains. It’s already been ascertained that even the early Europeans were all dark to black. Oops!!😬 Honestly are you really ok with this?🤔 Considering the ancient skeletal remains linked to the Qadan culture, which were found in Jebel Sahaba (southern Egypt) were morphologically similar to Pygmies, it’s ludicrous to assume that olive skinned people (similar to Mediterraneans) would have been living in Nazlet Khater (next door to Pygmies). Nazlet Khater were most likely a tropical people similar to Niger Congo speaking Sub Saharans or Oceanic aboriginal groups. Other geneticists have claimed that Nazlet Khater, was linked to the Upper Paleolithic Europeans. Even if they were, all these ancient people were black-skinned. Honestly, are you proud of those ancestors? 🤔 Did you knew that there is a skull in South Africa linked to Upper Paleolithic Europeans? Pls read the article, the artist said the skull was closer to Australian Aborginees than to Khoi-Sans. Hofmeyer Skull Wikipedia says: "The Hofmeyr Skull is a specimen of a 36,000-year-old human skull that was found in 1952 near Hofmeyr, South Africa. It i.. The artist’s assertion that the skull was linked to Australian Aboriginees support a recent genetic study was released in April this year regarding the 45,000-year-old remains found in the Bacho Kiro Cave in Bulgaria. This is one of the oldest modern human remains ever found in Europe. The study reveals that these early Upper Paleolithic humans were more closely related to East Asians than to West Eurasians or today's Europeans. Oops.. 😬 _‘’DNA extracted from remains found in a Bulgarian cave of three people who lived roughly 45,000 years ago is revealing surprises about some of the first Homo sapiens populations to venture into Europe, including extensive interbreeding with Neanderthals and genetic links to present-day East Asians.’’._ So it is more possible that Nazlet Khater, along with the first upper Palaeolithic Europeans, was linked to the aboriginal folks that occupied most of South East Asia (aka the Papuans and Australian Aboriginees). Their distant relatives (who also lived in North East Africa) most likely lived next door to Mota (the individual whom most humans descend from). Skin colour-wise, all these ancient North Africans would have been dark to black-skinned, but might have displayed varying genetics and phenotypes. Papuans display a much closer phenotype and skin tone to Nazlet Khater 2.

@@ayejay8862 i believe there is enough evidence cleopatra was at east partly defined as a greek blooded woman in the alexandrian greek era, when greek rulers replaced old rulers of foreign populations, but i honestly dont care whether she looked more like an arab or an albanian. You seem to forget what racism is. racism is what the israeli GOVERNMENT is doing (not all jews), and those who support them (including some jews). If you use your ears, those things on the side of your head, the doctor said basically that 'egypt is an ancient land, of vast empires across thousands of years and tens of dynasties, that has included libya and semitic identities, nubian and west african identities, and northern greek and macedonian identities, and these have all mixed and compacted to different degrees and contracted into the egypt we know today'. He flat out said that egyptian is a nationality, that has included many ethnicities. It is another matter if he is saying that the arabian expansion did not slightly alter egyptian genetics, or if cleopatra was mostly semitic or macedonian. I am trying to ignore all the toxic and misinforming voices to find the quiet truth that has always stood, and loud idiots like you are part of the problem like the idiot on the right in this video. i am not defending the egyptian doctor, i know nothing of him nor do i care to.

So also for the Egyptian to claim that it’s “his culture” at a time when the world itself was trying to find its identity is laughable, centuries over intermixing in the most conquered place on the face of the planet have led the Egyptians to the complexion they are currently Edit - Greek women aren’t pale.

@@TheMusicalKnokcers L take

@@TheMusicalKnokcers the arabs back then are not the same arabs now, arab is an umbrella term for everyone who speaks arabic as their first language it’s not a term to describe ethnicity maybe the word “arab” used to be a term for a certain race but now it’s used differently.

@@TheMusicalKnokcers Take other L Mr KZfaq Professor. If u don't even know what arabs are and where this term come from you shouldn't talk about it. Nowadays almost everyone is called arab. But i don't blame you for not knowing that, in fact almost everyone in the west is the same. Here in germany, where i come from, they don't know the difference either especially between turks and kurds, sometimes they even use the term "arab" for them, which is ridiculous.

It's nice to have the opportunity to hear from an actual Egyptian (Dr. Bassem) talk about his heritage, rather than outsiders (e.g. black supremacists/Afrocentrists or neo-Nazis/Eurocentrists) who are attempting to appropriate/steal other people's heritage. Sadly, the Afrocentrists have proven themselves to be just as glib and evil as the neo-Nazis/Eurocentrists.

If he's a doctor, I'm Nelson Mandela.

@@Charlotte-vp2fu This is from Wikpedia: Bassem Youssef graduated from Cairo University's Faculty of Medicine, majoring in cardiothoracic surgery, in 1998. He passed the United States Medical Licensing Examination and has been a member of the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS) since February 2007.[7] He practiced as a cardiothoracic surgeon in Egypt for 13 years, until his move into comedy and political satirism.[8] He also received training in cardiac and lung transplantation in Germany, after which he spent a year and a half in the US working for a company that produces medical equipment related to cardiothoracic surgery. In January 2011, Youssef assisted the wounded in Tahrir Square during the Egyptian revolution.[9] Youssef has credited surgery for making him "a much harder working person, a nerd, a perfectionist."[10] I thought you were dead Mr. Mandela. I'm a great admirer of yours.

Bassem is a cool name ngl

Nah, he is just queer. Those people make a lot of facial expressions, but not meant as a disrespect.

The faces were indeed extremely annoying, but the guy was otherwise quite respectful as far as I'm concerned

@@ThefamousMrcroissant Disrespect isn't limited to your vocal senses, it also includes facial expressions. You wouldn't sit in a civil discussion and make those cringe faces to express opposition.

he did not study anything, he only learned to take advantage of the system by victimizing himself for being black and a member of the lgbt community

Nope, but he's studied Afrocentrist nonsense in depth. He's convinced that the Egyptians were black, the Phoenicians were black, the Moors were black, Beethoven was black, Shakespeare was black, etc., etc., etc. It's what happens when you fill an empty head with BS.

@@gaetanomaximus8650 don't forget that the Japanese were black, the Irish were black, the Vikings were black as well.

A clown who's certified to talk to a scholar on tv because......blackness? Lol it's insane

Son of invaders of Egypt spewing rotten lies. Apollodorus, the Greek philosopher, described Egypt as "the country of the black-footed ones" and the Latin historian Ammianus Marcellinus said "the men of Egypt are mostly brown and black with a skinny desiccated look." These are EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS of Ancient Egypt. Not the witness of a son of Arab invaders of Africa spewing lies on TV in 2023. You never built a damn thing in your own lands. But you somehow got to Africa and magically began building huge pyramids and temples. Oh sure.

I'm English and I agree, grave robbing is bad.

lol that guy is not a real American. So typical you see one idiot and you think all Americans are like that. You are doing the exact thing Bassem was complaining about. You are trying to warp a group to fit your narrative. I'm American and when I saw the movie trailer my jaw hit the floor. Cleopatra is basically of Macedonian Greek ancestry and her skin tone would have been olive. There would not have been much mixing either as the blood line was pure from inbreeding. I guess I am just another American with superficial think and speak (me rolls eyes)

Ahimè, Concetta, hai ragione.

BTW - I just scanned the comments and many Americans including black Americans have spoken up and they all agree with Bassem.

Not the Americans, SOME Americans. The majority of Americans know Cleopatra was NOT black. I am an immigrant in America, and I know.

She was half Greek

She was like 3000% greek, inbreed over and over!! lol

She was one of the last of a long line of highly incestuous dynasties the Ptolemaic dynasty - they would never marry outside of their bloodline for preservation purposes. There's no half Greek about it there's over 200 years of Mediterranean Macedonian Greek with a mix of Persian royal blood. Even the coinage and busy depiction of that time shows a large hook nosed small lipped woman i.e. typical features of the Mediterranean and Persian people.

Ancient Egypt was invaded multiple times. It was invaded by the Greeks and it was invaded by the Arabs countless amount of times. And they drove away the blacks and used some as slaves. They also castrated the male black slaves so they couldn’t produce any children and they ethnically cleansed the land or sent them to live in the outskirts away or drove them away into Africa

Egyptologist I take it?? Where did you get that information from? I'm Nubian-Egyptian and not a word you said is factual or true. Nubians and Kush were the only African tribes that overtook Egypt and that only happened during the 25th Dynasty and they both only ruled for 150-175 years, facts are facts you can't change them even if you don't like them. During that period the pyramids and sphinx were already built. Using history and context just from the 25 dynasty, is like omitting the previous 24 dynasties. Nubians and Kush are native African tribes and not native Egyptians. Saying that we the Egyptians are Arabs because we were conquered by Arabs is like saying that Indians are British because they were conquered by Britain, or claiming that the people of Mozambique are European since they speak Portuguese, or the people from Ivory Coast are European since they speak French. Stick to your afro-american culture, and quit vulturing my culture, and DO NOT TALK ON BEHALF OF MY CULTURE.

Were you also outraged Joel Egerton played Ramases and Christian Bale played Moses? Cus I don't remember Piers turning into a snowflake over that

Of course you agree with him. Everyone will take the side of whomever when someone Black is across from them. The same people who watched and had no problem with Cleopatra being played by Elizabeth Taylor now have an issue: I wonder why......... Jesus being shown as a pale, straight, thin-haired man is okay even though the Bible clearly states he had hair of wool and olive skin.

@@moniqueuu8777 Most of the people commenting weren't even alive when Elizabeth Taylor played Cleopatra. Hollywood was much smaller back then and so was the pool of actors they picked from. Blackwashing is just as silly and disrespectful as whitewashing.

Cleopatra tomb is literally still not have been found, so how can it be historical accurate? Historians themselves have admitted they can’t 100% confirm anything

its a docuseries, its a retelling of the story! as long as the DETAILS are accurate it doesn't matter what colour someone is, you're just low key racist! the same time of person that probably complained that aeriel in the new little mermaid is black. You're focusing on one tiny detail, the worse part is ... airing this show doesn't make EVERY history book in the world change. they're all the same. you all need to just get a grip

The original Egyptians were Afrikans. Afrika was a black continent. Even th r Palestinians were black and brown. How many times was Kemet invaded. Too many. The statues and the dead are proven to be Blacks/Afrikans/ Nubians.

@@donnaking7902 Africa is a very big continent and even in a small continent like Europe you see varieties of skin colour and phenotypes.

@Jermar Williamson enough with your grandma stories

@JermarWilliamson it's funny to me how you trying to teach real Egyptians in the comments about their history lol you're not even an Egyptian yourself so why do you think you are qualified to teach someone their history xD

Kemet for the color of the Nil, Dashert for the desert.

they consider all Egyptian are invaders. Egyptians are of light complexions. Even that Anwar Sadat. Black Americans want to claim North and East Aftica because they dont look like the rest of Africans

The added irony is that Black ultranationalist Americans venerate the Moors. That group that invaded Europe and enslaved others? You cannot make this up but as someone who lived in North America for 12 years and saw up close and personal the insanity of "belief" systems like the Nuwabians, Hebrew Israelites etc I am just relieved I am not alone in observing the insane levels of revisionism and hypocrisy let alone how the fringes of Black Nationalist thought and revisionism being uncritically embraced by young people dying to be seen as an "ally" or "non-racist."

Not only the Egyptians are exposed to this, even we Amazighs (Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya) are exposed to this thing, they want us to leave our land just because our skin is white

Cleopatra , as long as she is good looking I'm fine with it , she can be black , Russian , white , Iranian , Iraqi , north Korean , native American , pacific islander as long as she is good looking , Cleopatra was known for being good looking , just don't put some guy like the 300 Xerxes as Cleopatra , no one knows what Cleopatra looked like , the only image to her is sculped stone work , to suggest she was white is simply wrong , its not true , she was either mixed race or had dark skin , she wasn't a Viking

@@sinabagherisarvestani8924 dear please do a 10 sec research on cleopatra and then speak for God’s sake, she was from upper Greece and they have a light skin tone. And again as bassem said we don’t care if its black or white, its culture appropriation

Well to be fair he didn't get as much time to talk lol. The stupid faces was him wanting to talk

There are dark skinned Egyptians to this day!!!!...darker than the actress who is playing Cleopatra. How can Bassem say what he is saying??? If they got a black Egyptian women to play Cleopatra...I am sure Bassem would still be upset.

​@@veganbutterfly3652 he said that there's a wide spectrum of colors in Egypt. I, personally, have the same skin tone as the actress. The problem that it's not about the color but stealing the culture and pretending that it belongs to a very different civilization as the current Egyptians are just some invaders who came a thousand years ago. Regarding the last point, last year Egypt had a tv series presenting one of the greatest pharaohs "Ahmose" whose character was played by a "white" Egyptian actor. The show was cancelled for this very reason. So, yeah we won't be upset by playing the character with a dark skinned as long as he rightfully represents the culture.

​​@@veganbutterfly3652 he did stated that, yet ppl who r of a dark color skin in Egypt doesn't look like African American, race and color is not the same thing

Ancient egyptians were mostly of sudanese ethnicity like the nubians, meaning from sudan. There were some or significant amount of ethnicities that people would associate as arabic/mid-eastern, but they werent the majority. And there DEFINITELY wasnt a European tan white majority (except cleopatras era, which is far from egypt own prime)

@@myrnaa1077 The ORIGINAL so-called Egyptians were called KEMITES and their land was called by what they named it which is KEMET. The Greeks when they invaded KEMET re-named it EGYPT. They not knowing the language thought the KEMITES were saying EGYPT. It was the black KEMITES who built the pyramids, monuments, sphinx etc. That is why the invaders were so mesmerized by KEMET, their societies did not create nothing close to KEMET. Those people over there today are EGYPTIANS, they did not build KEMET, they are the descendants of invaders. Black people are not Egyptians, our ancestors were KEMITES or the black people who built the pyramids and everything else in what you call Egypt were KEMITES. We would do those ancestors a disservice by calling them Egyptians the INVADERS, not the builders of KEMET The bible called those black KEMITES.....MIZRAIM the descendants of a son of HAM.

Do you like not understand English?

The Moses Netflix series isn’t a documentary. Yet it did boil our blood to see that the cast are non-Egyptians, and there are many Egyptian actors they could have easily casted. Instead they picked an Iraqi and a bunch of non-Egyptians. Comes at a no surprise that they are specifically releasing it right now when we all are focused on the P@lestinians issue.
