You have to have a clear understanding of Hebrew and Mdw Ntr to understand the history. Much of what is written about these cultures is basically made up, because people have not taken the time to learn the liguistics necessary to acurately translate the texts that the history is based upon. If you don't have the skills to read the text for yourself, people can tell you anything about what it says, because you cannot verify the content of the original writings with accuracy. Much of what is written about these cultures if flat out made up and lies. For example the bust presented as Aknaten's wife Nefertiti shows a light skinned woman of Asian appearance. However, nowhere on that bust is this woman identified as Nefertiti, we just accept that that is who she was because Europeans scholars have presented her as this woman. My point is rather than arguing, we need to study and understand the languages of own ancestors so that we can translate the texts with our own cultural understanding of who we are. Otherwise, we have to continue to believe and accept the lies and misrepresentations fed to us, because we haven't put the time in to do the hard work of translating our ancestors words.
