Abstract

The theme of this research paper seeks to study the Afrocentric claims against the ancient Egyptian Civilization  from the prospective of historical evaluation and analytical  refutation in assessing  the claims of Afrocentrism in ancient Egypt. This article critically examines Afrocentric claims regarding the origins of ancient Egyptian civilization, particularly those asserting that it was primarily African. By exploring the extensive history of military conflicts between ancient Egypt and the Kushite Kingdoms, explaining how these civilizations were distinct from each other, which refutes the idea of ​​a unified African identity, so this study illustrates the distinct nature of these civilizations and challenges the notion of a unified African identity. The research includes a detailed analysis of the term Kmt, its etymology, and how it has been interpreted in various contexts throughout historical eras. The study discusses genetic and skeletal evidence to shed light on the continuity of the Egyptian population since prehistoric times and during the Early Dynastic period, this reinforces the rejection of claims of a significant influence from sub-Saharan Africa. The study's premises reinforce the belief concepts associated with Egypt's cultural heritage and legacy, pointing out the need to respect the unique identities of ancient civilizations.
