Rise Of Aten. Lost Golden City Discovered 3000 Years Old!
--- Quote ---
> Thurday April 8th the Ministry of tourism and antiquities of
Egypt announced a new discovery of the Egyptian mission under
the supervision of Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass.
> This new discovery is a city in Luxor, now called “The Rise of
Aten” which had been under layers of sand for 3000 years, dating
back to the reign of Amenhotep the 3rd.
> Amenhotep the 3rd was the father of Amenhotep the 4th who’s
more known as Akhenaten, the Father of King Tutankhamun.
> The city was founded by one of the greatest rulers of Egypt in
the New Kingdom, Amenhotep the 3rd, he was the 9th king during
the 18th dynasty, he ruled Egypt from 1391 BCE until 1353 BCE.
> This city continued to be in use during the Reign of Amenhotep
the 3rd, Akhenaten, Tutankhamun and even during the reign of
King Ay.
>
> Within weeks of the excavations the team discovered formations
of mudbrick walls that appeared in all directions.
> Eventually they unearthed the site of a large city in a very
good state of preservation, with almost complete walls and with
rooms filled with every day life objects.
> The city has laid untouched for thousands of years, left by
the ancient residents as if it were yesterday.
> The first goal of the mission after uncovering the city was to
date this settlement, Hieroglyphic inscriptions found on clay
caps of wine vessels helped them tremendously.
> These caps consisted of the seals of three royal palaces of
King Amenhotep the 3rd, as well as the empire’s administrative
and industrial centre.
> The Archaeologists made a large number of finds such as rings,
scarabs, colored pottery vessels and mud bricks bearing the
seals of King Amenthotep the 3rd, confirming the dating of the
city.
> After only 7 months of excavations several neighbourhoods have
been uncovered.
>
> In the southern part they have discovered a bakery, a cooking
and food preparation area complete with ovens and storage
pottery.
> The kitchen was catering a very large number of workers and
employees as can be stated from its size.
> The second area which is still partially below sands is the
administrative and residential district, with larger and well
arranged units.
> This area has a zigzag wall as can be seen in the photo here,
with only one access point leading to internal corridors and
residential areas.
> The single entrance makes the archaeologists believe it was
some sort of security, with the ability to control the entry and
exit to the enclosed areas.
> Zigzag walls are one of the most rare architectural elements
in ancient Egyptian architecture, it was mainly used near the
end of the 18th Dynasty.
>
> The third uncovered area, or neighbourhood, is the workshop.
> On one side is the production area for the mudbricks used to
build temples and annexes, these bricks bear the seals of the
cartouche of King Amenhotep the 3rd (Neb Maat Ra).
>
> Zahi Hawass said: “the city’s streets are flanked by houses,
of which some walls are up to 3 meters in height. We can reveal
that the city extends to the west, all the way to the famous
Deir el-Medina.”

> The Kingdom of Kush (/kʊʃ, kʌʃ/; Egyptian:
𓎡𓄿𓈙𓈉 kꜣš, Assyrian: Rassam
cylinder Ku-u-si.jpg Ku-u-si, in LXX Ancient Greek:
Κυς and Κυσι; Coptic:
ⲉϭⲱϣ; Hebrew:
כּוּשׁ‎) was an
ancient kingdom in Nubia, centered along the Nile Valley in what
is now northern Sudan and southern Egypt.
>
> The region of Nubia was an early cradle of civilization,
producing several complex societies that engaged in trade and
industry.[6] The city-state of Kerma emerged as the dominant
political force between 2450 and 1450 BC, controlling the Nile
Valley between the first and fourth cataracts, an area as large
as Egypt. The Egyptians were the first to identify Kerma as
“Kush" and over the next several centuries the two civilizations
engaged in intermittent warfare, trade, and cultural
exchange.[7]
>
> Much of Nubia came under Egyptian rule during the New Kingdom
period (1550–1070 BC). Following Egypt's disintegration amid the
Late Bronze Age collapse, the Kushites reestablished a kingdom
in Napata (now modern Karima, Sudan). Though Kush had developed
many cultural affinities with Egypt, such as the veneration of
Amun, and the royal families of both kingdoms often
intermarried, Kushite culture was distinct; Egyptian art
distinguished the people of Kush by their dress, appearance, and
even method of transportation.[6]
>
> King Kashta ("the Kushite") peacefully became King of Upper
Egypt, while his daughter, Amenirdis, was appointed as Divine
Adoratrice of Amun in Thebes.[8] Piye invaded Lower Egypt in the
eighth century BC, establishing the Kushite-ruled Twenty-fifth
Dynasty. Piye's daughter, Shepenupet II, was also appointed
Divine Adoratrice of Amun. The monarchs of Kush ruled Egypt for
over a century until the Assyrian conquest, finally being
expelled by the Egyptian Psamtik I in the mid-seventh century
BC. Following the severing of ties with Egypt, the Kushite
imperial capital was located at Meroë, during which time it was
known by the Greeks as Aethiopia.
>
> From the 3rd century BC to 3rd AD century, northern Nubia
would be invaded and annexed to Egypt. Ruled by the Macedonians
and Romans for the next 600 years, this territory would be known
in the Greco-Roman world as Dodekaschoinos. It was later taken
back under control by the fourth Kushite king Yesebokheamani.
The Kingdom of Kush persisted as a major regional power until
the fourth century AD when it weakened and disintegrated from
internal rebellion amid worsening climatic conditions. Meroë was
captured and destroyed by the Kingdom of Aksum, marking the end
of the kingdom and its dissolution into the three polities of
Nobatia, Makuria and Alodia.
>
> Long overshadowed by its more prominent Egyptian neighbor,
archaeological discoveries since the late 20th century have
revealed Kush to be an advanced civilization in its own right.
The Kushites had their own unique language and script;
maintained a complex economy based on trade and industry;
mastered archery; and developed a complex, urban society with
uniquely high levels of female participation.[9]

Racial Society of Ancient Egypt
--- Quote ---
> It may come as a surprise to some readers to learn that many
of the early inhabitants of the Middle East may have had
typically North European coloration. The authors speculate that
before the arrival of the Egyptians — probably from the Arabian
peninsula — the Nile delta was settled by a sandy-haired,
blue-eyed people very similar to the Kabyles, who still inhabit
the hill country of Morocco and Algeria. The authors suspect
that they were descended from the Cro-Magnons whose remains have
been found in southern France. These “Libyans” were driven west
of the Nile by the more powerful Egyptians, and are depicted as
having white skin.
>
> To the East, Egyptians were also in contact with Amorites and
Hittites, who also are likely to have originated in Europe. They
appear in Egyptian art with the same light hair and blue eyes as
Libyans, Greeks and the inhabitants of Asia Minor.
>
> ...
>
> The Israelites had a strong tribal sense, bolstered by their
belief that they were God’s chosen people. They were fiercely
racialist, and were constantly urged by their prophets to
disdain intermarriage. Nevertheless, they mixed to some degree
with the more European Hittities and Amorites whom they
displaced in their conquest of Canaan. King David is likely to
have been fair-skinned, and one of his most trusted lieutenants
was the Hittite, Uriah. King Solomon’s harem was one of the
largest and most racially varied in all of ancient history.
>
> As the authors explain, black Africans are frequently
represented in ancient Egyptian art, but their role is almost
always that of captive or slave. Sesostrus I, a XIIth dynasty
king of the 20th century B.C., conquered parts of Nubia and
established a barrier at the border to ensure that no black
would enter Egypt except as a slave. Egyptians regarded blacks
as indolent and superstitious but nevertheless favored them as
slaves because they were affectionate and faithful. They found
blacks to have a very good sense of rhythm but wrote derisively
of their constant dancing.

It was Islamic Imperialism which ended Ancient Egypt
Eurocentrism and Social Disintegration
--- Quote ---
> The authors believe that one reason why the creativity of
ancient Egypt continued for 3,000 years while that of
Islamicized Egypt lasted only a few centuries may be due, in
part, to different views on intermarriage; miscegenation was
much more common within the universalist embrace of Islam. The
authors also note that although blacks to the south were in
contact for thousands of years with the technology and learning
of Egypt, they appear to have absorbed almost nothing into their
own societies.

The enemy article ignores the distinction between Upper and
Lower Egypt, instead treating all of Egypt as Lower Egypt. They
also neglect to mention the (Upper) Egyptian connection with
Punt:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Punt
--- Quote ---
> Older literature maintained that the label "God's Land", when
interpreted as "Holy Land" or "Land of the gods/ancestors",
meant that the ancient Egyptians viewed the Land of Punt as
their ancestral homeland.

We already covered this in Aryan Diffusion Part 5. This suffices
to debunk the claim of Eurocentrism as an original Egyptian
attitude.

Ancient Egypt is the most overrated civilization of all time by
Aryanist standards anyways. In their thousands of years of
existence, they contributed barely anything notable to ethics,
religion, or philosophy, except for its extremely short dabbling
in Atenism instigated by a single pharaoh. Egypt was advanced on
a technical level, but that’s the only reason why people seem to
be obsessed with it. A lot of “black” and “white” nationalists
try extremely hard to claim Ancient Egypt as theirs, and
everyday people are fascinated by it, but Ancient Egypt offers
very little to us, comparatively. Maybe I just don’t know enough
about Ancient Egypt though
The only country I can think of that has made consistent,
massively positive contributions to the fields of ethics,
religion, and philosophy (which is what actually matters, rather
than simply being technologically advanced), is India, but
Indian civilization gets way less attention from the general
public by comparison. And as much as I’m fascinated by China,
pretty much all of East “Asia” is indebted to India for
introducing Buddhism

I of course agree with your main sentiment that ethical
development is more important than technical development, but
another aspect is organizational development. For example, one
thing which Egypt (and China) did better than India is
linguistic unification.
As for Egyptian ethical development, it at least had foundations
in contractualism:
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt#Social_status
--- Quote ---
> The ancient Egyptians viewed men and women, including people
from all social classes, as essentially equal under the law, and
even the lowliest peasant was entitled to petition the vizier
and his court for redress.[84] Although slaves were mostly used
as indentured servants, they were able to buy and sell their
servitude, work their way to freedom or nobility, and were
usually treated by doctors in the workplace.[85] Both men and
women had the right to own and sell property, make contracts,
marry and divorce, receive inheritance, and pursue legal
disputes in court. Married couples could own property jointly
and protect themselves from divorce by agreeing to marriage
contracts, which stipulated the financial obligations of the
husband to his wife and children should the marriage end.
Compared with their counterparts in ancient Greece, Rome, and
even more modern places around the world, ancient Egyptian women
had a greater range of personal choices, legal rights, and
opportunities for achievement.

"Ancient Egypt offers very little to us, comparatively"
It supports our overall narrative that river valleys suitable
for farming (and, more broadly, mild conditions) evolve better
people, as opposed to the enemy narrative that steppes (and,
more broadly, harsh conditions) evolve better people. This is
the racial idealism conflict we are dealing with at present.
