A reminder... In 2020 archaeologists discovered an incredibly rare undiscovered burial with a 4,000-year-old coffin with an incompletely untouched mummy inside. The coffin was covered in hieroglyphic markings immediately giving the archaeologists vital information about who the mummy was. They discovered that the person inside was a male called Shemay, they described him as a high priest member of the Elite Family who founded the cities of that region of Kemet. The markings also identified his father as Kemay powerful governor of the region of Upper Kemet. And his mother was Satethotep, daughter of the founder of that region of Upper Kemet, Sarenput I. A man who was known as the right arm of the pharaoh of Kemet during that period, Senusret I. All this happens more than a millennia before the so-called invasion of the "Black Pharaohs" of the 25th supposedly the only black rulers of Kemet. This is not crazy to us because we already know that the people of Kemet were black Africans, especially the Elite. The founding fathers, the natives, are the Africans who came from the south. Narmer/Menes is the first ruler of Kemet and all his depictions clearly show his Black African Origin. If they can admit that the proximity with Nubia makes their blackness normal, why is it still difficult to admit that the pharaohs were blacks? Since we know that they came from that exact same region filled with black people to this day? They are still trying to create a difference between the Kemites and their southern neighbors. A white Mediterranean people VS Black people frontier which is a complete lie. The Kemites were similar to their southern neighbors. All the people who met them at that time admitted it. But people still try to sell us that mediteranean fantasy of a White/mediteranean Kemet as if Mediteranean is a race. There have been migrations into Kemet, but the power remained in the hands of the southern families who were blacks until the late period when Kemet fell. Credit @Mister_Imhotep #Africa
