In this video we talk about the history of ancient Egypt. What did the ancient Egyptians look like and where did the Egyptian civilization originate - in Africa or the Middle East? Are modern Egyptians the descendants of the ancients? What secrets do Egyptian mummies hide? We will base our research on the data of archaeology, physical anthropology and population genetics. We will examine which groups of people have inhabited Africa over the millennia and what influence the climate has had on them. Find out what archaeological cultures existed in Egypt and what influence Neolithic farmers had on them.
Who was an African? When did people inhabit Africa? How did the climate change on the African continent? When did humans settle the Sahara? What do geneticists study? Who are the Natufians? Where did the Neolithic Revolution take place? When did the return migration to Africa occur? Where did Afro-Asiatic languages originate? When did war come about? When did the Nile floods begin? Where did the Egyptian civilization originate? What is Nubia? Where did the first Egyptian pharaohs come from? Where did the Egyptian pyramids come from? How are Egyptian mummies studied? What do anthropologists say about ancient Egyptians? Who are the Afrocentrists? How is DNA extracted from mummies? What did Tutankhamun look like? Who did the Egyptians genetically resemble? What are fayoum portraits?
