Due to the overwhelming myths
promulgated by Eurocentric
advocates, that Egypt was a
White Civilization. I decided
to formulate some of the
frequent arguments that
Eurocentric advocates love to
employ. In this video, I will
reveal some of the arguments
that stand against an African
origin of Egypt.

P.S I made these video a few
weeks ago and I apologize to
my viewers for not uploading

'L'Oréal brings to life
contents of 4,000 year-old
cosmetics

8 April 2002 - L'Oréal
Research, the scientific
research and development arm
of L'Oréal -- the world's
leading cosmetics company -
has revealed the beauty
secrets of the Ancient
Egyptians at three
simultaneous exhibitions on
the theme of 'Perfumes and
Cosmetics in Ancient Egypt'.
The findings will be showcased
from today until 28 April 2002
in the Egyptian National
Museum in Cairo, the Louvre in
Paris and the Vieille Charité
Museum in Marseilles.

The findings of the research
include the analysis of
contents of an Egyptian vanity
case, which prove that the
cosmetics business was already
a science 4000 years ago.

In 1996, L'Oréal Research was
invited by the French Museums'
Research and Restoration
Centre (C2RMF) to lend its
expertise in analysing 49
cosmetics jars from the
Louvre's Egyptian Antiquities
collection. Initial findings
in 1999 focused on eye make-up
and revealed the intricate
processes used by Ancient
Egyptians for producing
make-up to care for, protect
and embellish their eyes.

The initial research has now
been followed up with research
into make-up (foundation),
body/skin care, perfume and
hair care and reveals that
cosmetics went much further
than beautifying treatments.
They were also used for
medicinal and religious
purposes -- much like modern
day treatments, such as
aromatherapy.

Products such as anti-ageing
creams, sun protection creams
and hair dyes were found to be
extensively used by the
ancient Egyptians. In one
study, the hair of Pharaoh
Ramses II was shown to contain
henna dye to give it a
blonde-red colour.

Visitors to the exhibitions,
the biggest and most
comprehensive ever in Cairo,
will be able to view raw
materials and ingredients used
in the production of
cosmetics, as well as
illustrations of cosmetic use,
functionality and symbolism
from 4000 years ago. The
exhibition also proves just
how advanced the Egyptians
were as pharmacists. L'Oréal
Research found ingredients in
the cosmetic powders, which
would not have been available
to Ancient Egyptians
naturally. This shows they
were sophisticated enough to
develop ingredients by
chemical reproduction.

Each of the exhibitions will
concentrate on the central
theme, perfumes and cosmetics
in Ancient Egypt. The Cairo
Egyptian Museum will host the
opening exhibition, whilst The
Louvre will offer specific
tours illustrating the
findings and Marseilles will
present objects on loan from
The Louvre. [Source]'
