The Arab invasion of North Africa from 638AD to 642AD had a significant effect in displacing the aborigines of Hamitic race from that part of the continent.

However, the displacement led to the migration to the central, western and southern parts of Africa. This is the very reason why most ethnic nationalities in Africa trace their roots back to the ancient Egypt or North Africa.

In the Bible the land of Ham (Egypt) is the father of Black Africa from which came the
Nubians (Sudan) and Ethiopians

The Chinese and Greeks are also believed to be descendants of Ham

But Egyptian Art and Traditional Nigerian Art are not similar because many Nigerian Tribes migrated from Sudan

how about Egyptians originate from Nigerians? Why does it have to be the other way around? Low self esteem?

Napata77:


This is the type of nonsense you type when you don't know your history, and think Egypt was white or Arab.

What does it matter what way or the other we originated when Egypt was a black civilization?

Heavy settlement in West Africa is comparatively RECENT. In ancient antiquity, it was virtually empty.

Majority of Africans lived in the North, the present day Sahara desert (which was fertile and inhabited thousands of years ago) North East, East, and South of the continent. What drove major groups to West Africa was fleeing from endless foreign invasions of the Nile Valley, culminating in the Arab invasion of the 700s AD, and the rapid desertification of the Sahara.

This is why ever major group in West Africa has a tradition of having migrated from 'the north' in ancient times.

Nigerians are devided into three

(1)Ancient Indigines
(2)Settlers
(3)Passers by

Yoruba and other Southern tribes are older than Egypt,and are here since time immemorial. Like other tribes in Niger-congo,Yorubas are Negroes and are ancient Africans.
Africa is older than Egypt itself,so there is no Way for Yoruba and other Tribes like Igbos to claim coming from anywhere. Zulus too are claim,but it is not possible.

Hausa and other Northern tribes like Ngas,pabir,tangale,Bole,Gerawa and Karai-karai etc belong to Settlerd class. They are African-asians or Afro-asians,or Afrisians or Hamito-semitics. They are like their cousins Amazigh/berbers in North Africa,Oromo in Ethiopia,Arabs in Arabia,Copt in Egypt all belong to Afro-asians. They are understood to have common ancestor in Sumer,they were sumerrias of levant,that is Lebanon,Israel etc and also ancient Egyptians. Hausas says they are from Yemen like Old Arabia.

Passers by are Fulani,and they also belong to Niger-Congo,but unlike Bantus,Igbo or Yorubas,Fulani interbred with Afro-Asians ranging from Tutsis in Rwanda and Turegs in Western Sahara.

So Northern Nigerians or Northern Africans are descendants of Egypt of Summeria.

Lolz... the people you are calling "afro-asians" are Africans. They did not come from Sumer(who the heck gave you that idea ).

I think you are talking of Afro-asiatic(properly called Afrasan) speakers. Both that like the Niger-Congo(within the broader Niger-Kordofian) speakers as well as the Nilo-Saharan speakers, are just a language group.
Language and genetics do not always align.

Nigeria itself is made up of Niger-Kordofian speakers(Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Tiv, Efik, Edo, and even Fulani), Afrasan speakers(like Hausa, Tangale, Angas etx) and Nilosaharan(Kanuri, Bulala, etc).

PS: Some of the Niger-Kordofian speaking peoples actually moved to the south from more northerly regions(esp from the then desiccating sahara)

The "similarities" you see(there are also many dissimilarities) is due to the fundamental linkages from the common origins of both Ancient Egypt and some other African civiliations/cultures( from the sahara desert).

Ancient Egypt was African in origin(from the Eastern Sahara); was fundamentally a ("Black" African culture throughout its over 4000yrs history(arising from the origin i talked about earlier); but its people were somewhat "mixed"(depending on time and place) altho the majority of them at the earlier times, esp in Upper Egypt, would have been mostly "Black".

Other African civilisations on the other hand developed on their own terms and trajectory. They didnt arise due to some migatory "super" Egyptians. The small similarities to see is from the common origins i talked about before and maybe some contacts with later civilizations in the Sudan

Napata77:


Absolute rubbish.

You don't get to sit in your little colonised cocoon and discredit the numerous accounts of MIGRATION in our indigenous cultures.

What do our elders have to prove to you when they say we MIGRATED from the north?

Information handed them by their forbears?

You colonised people just sit in your cocoon and type rubbish.

From as far back as the sacking of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 AD which led to over 1 million Hebrews fleeing into Africa, a number that has surely multiplied to a minimum 600 million descendants living in Africa today, to the sacking of Egypt and Nubia, and the fleeing of their inhabitants southwards. The Yoruba elders say they was a 'great war' - possibly the Assyrian invasion of Egypt, that led them to flee southwards in antiquity.

Another wave of migrants fled the north following the Arab invasion of Egypt in 600 AD. The Africans fled to escape enslavement and forced religious conversion to Islam, with the Yorubas refusing to abandon their Ifa worship for Muhammedan faiths.

How dare you dismiss the accounts of your forbears because you learnt how to speak English?

What happened to the millions of blacks in ancient Egypt then? They just disappeared? They all ran into the Nile and drowned?

What happened to all the blacks who lived in North Africa in antiquity?

Do you even know that the entire north Africa was once populated by millions of black people?

Do you know the Sahara was once fertile and heavily populated with black people?

Where did they all disappear to if not migrating southwards?

You people don't know ANYTHING about your history. That's why you're so damn lost.

WEST AFRICA was the last inhabited place in Africa. In fact the migrants fled to West Africa because the white invaders of Egypt, Israel (which was also black) etc, knew NOTHING about West Africa, and didn't even know it existed. All they knew was Egypt, Nubia slightly south of Egypt, and 'Ethiopia' - basically East Africa.

THOSE regions held the largest number of blacks in antiquity. West Africa was virgin territory in ancient antiquity. Inhabited at most by small bands of 'pygmies'.

That is why the first earliest record of kingdoms and empires there only dates back to the 12th century AD or thereabouts, when Ghana, Mali, Songhai, Benin rose up.

But in East, North East and North Africa, we had the empires of Egypt, Nubia, Kush etc, which were all dated back to thousands of years BC, because those were the regions people lived in in antiquity, NOT in West Africa.

I've been studying AFRICAN HISTORY SINCE BEFORE YOU WERE BORN, YOU LIPPY LITTLE DUNCE.

Name the African history books you've read.

Have you read the 'Destruction of Black Civilization' by Dr Chancellor Williams?

Have you read 'Black Athena' by Martin Bernal?

Have you read the 'African Origin of Civilization' by Cheikh Anta Diop?

Have you even heard of these books?

Useless. Abeg get out of this place. Damn colonialist tool.
