I remember as a kid my mom would get National Geographic because it was educational. Now it’s just left wing propaganda like a lot of science publications. Plus they fully go along with trans nonsense
Same here. When I went to a doctor a couple of years back they had some scientific mags in the waiting room. They used to have a good reputation. These days they're just more ideological trash.
On one of them the title story was an article about trans identities in native cultures. They're basically on the same level as Vice now.
I remember seeing it happen in real time. The cover went with “Was Darwin Wrong!?” like very shortly before a new editor had taken over iirc. They rapidly spiraled into intellectually dishonest degeneracy from then on.
The aspect of the Nubians is actually fascinating, complicated, and largely just mysterious and unknown. They've been generally their own separate country, but possibly the original culture came from the south and of course there was a Nubian dynasty in (northern) Egypt.
Also there have been some extensive and radical population changes (not unlike in the north).
Yes, well said. While the "omgwtfbbq Ancient Egypt was a negro country!" etc is nonsense, there were blacks in Ancient Egypt and there were black pharaohs and dynasties.
There is basically no "average" Egyptian, but many genetically speaking today, many Egyptians are:
Mostly "old Egyptian" populatio lineage
Large amounts of Arab from Arabian peninsula
Large amounts of Greek/etc/"Mediterranean"
Variable amounts of black African (this influence is generally thought to have increased over the last several thousand years)
Bits of general European/Indo-European
Bits of Turkish, Persian, etc
It's also always funny to me that "Upper Egypt" is southern Egypt and "Lower Egypt" is the north.
It's because the entire country is completely focused on, dependent upon, and developed around the Nile. The Nile flows from south to north, so the upper part of the Nile is the south, and the lower reaches of the Nile are in the north.
That said, almost none of the blacks in America have roots in the region. They're just literally culturally appropriating Egypt, like some others do with Israel which is even more wild.
Or this crazy cult the Five-Percent Nation, where "ALLAH" is an English acronym standing for some total nonsense.
Same as how Upper and Lower Canada came to be in its founding era, based on the Laurentien river, or however it's spelled it's been years since I needed to know any world history.
Right which is precisely coordinated with elevation. There's also nothing magic about maps facing North. Egypt is old enough they could have been making maps before that was standardized.
You were a lot closer than I was. I had to look it up, lol. And I'm Canadian.
I never remember learning about the watershed origins of the name. In school, I only remember them teaching that Upper and Lower Canada names are the opposite of the way they appear on a map and that's how you remember them.
AFAIK, there's no major "Laurentian" river in the area. There are Laurentian mountains, a Laurentian University and Quebec elites like Trudeau are referred to as Laurentian elites somehow.
The original culture (scorpion king) came from the west. It's believed they may have come from a desert oasis culture as the great lakes of the Sahara dried up.
I have also worked in bookstores and in publishing, and let me tell you: factual errors, especially libelous ones, will immediately get those books recalled and destroyed.
I forgot which book it was but I was working in a B&N like 16 years ago and it was some informational teen sex book that was completely recalled and destroyed, mostly because a lot of the procedures of self-examination and self-care were completely out of date and in some cases could hurt or kill girls. So yeah, publishers and book sellers are usually pretty fucking reactionary when they put out something that could come back to bite them in the ass legally.
I hope all of those bookstores and the publisher enjoy a slew of defamation and libel suits from Rittenhouse. The Kenosha Kid may up being a publishing tycoon by the end of it.
One was a pedo. Was he a Jewish, dunno. His family cut him off anyway which is why he was homeless (living with his gf who too threw him out of her house due to fits of violent-suicidal madness).
No idea about NatGeo but some of these magazines subscribe random people automatically (for free) just to get their numbers up so they can tell their advertisers they have X subscribers.
My grandmother recieved Chatalaine for years without ever having subscribed, and it continued to come a couple of years after she died (1980). If it was some kind of gift, we never figured out who would send it, and yes, I do remember her trying to communicate this to the magazine people, but it kept coming, even though we never paid.
Wasn't all bad, I guess, she did make a recipe or two from it.
Years ago I randomly started getting Complex (some hip hop rag). No idea why; zero interest in any of that garbage. Always went straight into the trash.
It's my understanding that the entire field is basically a grift for the Egytpian ministry that's in charge of all the ancient Egypt stuff. There's a lot of evidence that the conventional narrative we all know is totally inaccurate, but anyone who publicly presents that info is immediately called a pseudoscientist, conspiracy theorist while any supporting evidence they present is ignored. I assume that when you've spent your entire career in an institution that views cherry picking info, and defaming your critics with false, ad hominem attacks as a good thing, you just accept that as the way things work. It's an issue across all of science, but anthropology related fields seem to have real issues in dealing with evidence that contradicts the established narrative.
Anthropology has been destroyed by its politicization, but archaeology still has the evidence of material culture is cannot just set aside, but it is being corrupted also.
For reference, there is a recent PBS special about scanning the pyramids with new scanning techniques (muon scanning, primarily), and the Egyptian government shit all over the team that was doing the work... because the scans were showing that the new theories about how the pyramids were built probably are right.
College Graduated Women are all lying whores who learned nothing while in school and routinely lie and make up fantasies to justify their existence and why men should pay for or 'cancel' their debt.
There are some college educated women who actually know what they are talking about. It's rare, but they exist. The graduates, however, are just useless holes who want money and power without actually doing anything to earn either.
If you got this simple fact wrong about an event that happened last year, why should anyone look to you for insight on things that happened 3,000 years ago?

When I was a kid, it was basically "Babby's First Nudie Mag".
Who doesn't love pointy and sagging african tits.
They’d have South American women in there that weren’t too bad sometimes.
Who TF is babby ??
My mom used to get readers digest It did have good info.
Dey waz kangz.
Dey waz kangz.
No, they were dick washers. Literally there to get rid of smegma.
and shiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeetttttt

Elevation?
River source.
Same as how Upper and Lower Canada came to be in its founding era, based on the Laurentien river, or however it's spelled it's been years since I needed to know any world history.
Right which is precisely coordinated with elevation. There's also nothing magic about maps facing North. Egypt is old enough they could have been making maps before that was standardized.
I never realized where Upper and Lower Canada got their names from.
Looking it up, I think you meant the Saint Lawrence river, which connects the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean.
Yeah, that name sounds right, now that you say it. I was... Kinda-sorta close? Okay, not really, geography+history not my best subjects.
You were a lot closer than I was. I had to look it up, lol. And I'm Canadian.

I figured Kangz was the subject of the book
$$$$$$$$
She even claims they caught it during printing but just went "fuck it" and let it go out.
I work in a bookstore, I've seen entire print runs be recalled due to defamation issues.

Malice and forethought.
One was a pedo. Was he a Jewish, dunno. His family cut him off anyway which is why he was homeless (living with his gf who too threw him out of her house due to fits of violent-suicidal madness).
Yes, even JoJo had a gf. What's your excuse Anon?
No one would want a woman who is fine with being Jojo's GF.
I guess finding a girl willing to let you stick your dick in her isnt the metric of worth it once was.
I feel… Personally attacked. /s
From experience, though, crazy ain’t worth it. Even if you’re desperate. 🤷🏻♂️
It doesn’t end well for y’all.
For not having a gf.
It's a minor 4chan meme. Anon.
I don't think he was Jewish. Germans outnumber Jews literally dozens times over in and around Kenosha. It's a Germantown. Fully 1/4 German.
If you manage to mention Kyle Rittenhouse in a book about ancient Egypt and manage not to get your facts right, you might just be a stupid whore.
That's an understatement!
:P
That's an understatement!
:P
A professionally published lie. There's no way Kyle couldn't win a defamation suit against this.
These are the scientists we are supposed to trust.
People, especially women who have these specific and not very profitable degrees are always spoilt cunt children of rich people.
Someone subscribed me to National Geographic. :(
If I ever find out who (grandma?), I don't think I have the heart to tell them it's just a shitty leftist propaganda rag now.
No idea about NatGeo but some of these magazines subscribe random people automatically (for free) just to get their numbers up so they can tell their advertisers they have X subscribers.

Years ago I randomly started getting Complex (some hip hop rag). No idea why; zero interest in any of that garbage. Always went straight into the trash.
With this surname alone she's more black than JoJo.
I got dumber just reading a few snippets from her "book".
Disney owned.

I'm not at my pc right now, can someone archive this?
One tiny detail, which if she had gotten correct would have made the incident not worth mentioning.
What a bitch.
What's the problem with Egyptologists? First Sarah Parcak and now her.

If you're not familiar with Graham Hancock, I suggest you take some time fix that situation. He's been fighting these guys since the 90s.
I will look for that PBS special too.
The former was on Twitter during the Summer of Riots telling people how to tear down statues.
Don't even need to look at Early life section.
College Graduated Women are all lying whores who learned nothing while in school and routinely lie and make up fantasies to justify their existence and why men should pay for or 'cancel' their debt.
Change my mind.
Yes, I realize I am starting to sound like theImp, but god damn it, this has been the case time and time again.
"College graduated" is superfluous
There are some college educated women who actually know what they are talking about. It's rare, but they exist. The graduates, however, are just useless holes who want money and power without actually doing anything to earn either.
How can you be trusted with history of you're wrong about 5 minutes ago.

Is it just me or does she look like a slightly fatter Sarkeesian?
Jester, you gotta get better at making a strawman account so you can feel justified in your autistic ranting
Damn, cut a little deep there did I? You thought nobody would see through your little ruse?
