ANCIENT EGYPT - THE REAL LIFE OF AN EGYPTIAN (Documentary) History/Life and death

Ancient Egypt was an ancient civilization of Northeastern Africa, concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River in what is now the modern country of Egypt. Egyptian civilization coalesced around 3150 BC (according to conventional Egyptian chronology) with the political unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under the first pharaoh. The history of ancient Egypt occurred in a series of stable Kingdoms, separated by periods of relative instability known as Intermediate Periods: the Old Kingdom of the Early Bronze Age, the Middle Kingdom of the Middle Bronze Age and the New Kingdom of the Late Bronze Age.

Ancient Egypt Race Controversy—Egypt in its African Context

According to many scholars, the unrelenting debates over the racial identity of ancient Egyptians were by and large a product of opulence, social status and scientific racism that went into full swing around the 18th and 19th centuries and it was associated with racial hierarchy that was centered on skin color, phenotype, hair textures, and genetic affiliations. Several of these terms were cloaked with words like Caucasoid, Negroid, Congoid, Mongoloid, Capoid, and Australoid and when assertions circulated about the racial identity of ancient Egyptians, several of these terms were used, but the assertions were focused on the distinction between Caucasoid and Negroid and never the racial identity of ancient Egyptians. It appears that scholars and non-scholars were focused on portraying themselves as the ancestors of ancient Egyptians and not learning the true racial identity of ancient Egyptians. That explains why there are unrelenting debates about the racial identity of ancient Egyptians in the 21st century.

Unknown Man 'E': The Most Mysterious Mummy in the World (Ancient Egypt History Documentary)

The Screaming Man Over 100 years ago an unidentified mummy was found lying alongside some of the most famous pharaohs in Egyptian history but his face is locked in an eternal scream. What caused this mans haunting expression? Why wasn't he mummified according to custom? The Screaming Man, also known as "Unknown Man E," was discovered in 1881. He was buried near the Valley of the Kings alongside members of Egyptian royalty. Unknown Man E was found covered in a quicklime paste, unheard of in the Egyptian tradition, wrapped in a sheepskin -- an object considered unclean for ancient Egyptians - and bound at the wrist and ankle. The ancient Egyptians' process of mummification was carried out according to clearly defined routines and religious principles, in order to prepare the body for the next world. Chemicals were used to dry the body out, a process which could last as long as 40 days. Then the body was coated with oils, painted with melted resins, and finally wrapped tightly in linen. Unknown Man E was mummified but denied any of the protective magic which would allow him to reach the next world, and some scholars believe that this, together with the animal skin found on the mummy, may indicate an intentional attempt to damn this man. The transition to the afterlife was so perilous that the ancient Egyptians tried to equip themselves with as much magical protection as possible. The markings of the tomb walls were intended to assist or protect the deceased on his journey to the next world, and they were buried with The Book of the Dead, a collection of spells or magic formulas. Some believe that Unknown Man E was a disgraced royal prince, son of Ramses III, the last great pharaoh of the New Kingdom.

DNA Sequencing for Ancient Egyptian Mummies

Degradation is a major obstacle, when trying to recover Ancient DNA. Therefore, most DNA analysis have been conducted on modern Egyptians with the objective of learning about the impact of ancient migrations on the population of Egypt. Although contagion is a major problem, when it comes to recoveirng ancient DNA, Paabo and Di Rienzo was successful at attaining DNA from ancient mummies of the twelfth Dynasty.  They identified multiple lines of descent which originated in Sub-Saharan Africa.

In addition to the Twelfth Dynasty revealing sub-saharan African DNA for ancient mummies, a recent DNA analysis of the mummies of Ramses III and prince Pentawer (also known as unknown man E) of the Twentieth Dynasty confirmed they were father and son and they carried sub-Saharan African Haplogroup E1b1a.

The Next-Generation Sequencing 

In 2013, Nature publicized that Dr. Carsten Pusch of the University of Tübingen in Germany and Rabab Khairat lead a research team that sequenced DNA from the next-generation (also known as the Greco-Roman dynasty, which were foreign occupiers) with the objective of trying to comprehend the ancestral lineage of an Ancient Egyptian individual. The heads of five Egyptian mummies that were housed at the institution were used to extract the ancient DNA dated between 806 BC and 124 AD. According to Jo Merchant, the researchers observed that ONE of the mummified individuals likely belonged to the mtDNA haplogroup I2, a maternal clade that is believed to have originated in Western Asia. However, according to those who have a bad habit of misleading the public about the raw evidence about ancient Egypt, they would have you believe that ALL ancient Egyptian mummies' DNA turned up with mtDNA haplogroup I2 or any other haplogroups other than sub-Saharan African haplogroups.
