Description:
For many scholars, the concept of race to discuss the ancient Egyptians is a modern
ideological and social construct that fails to have agency in antiquity. Therefore, scholars
have attempted to negate the ancient Egyptians' African identity by stating either that race
does not exist or that the Egyptians were a race of their own. This article seeks to discuss
Cheikh Anta Diop's two cradle theory by using historical and linguistic evidence to
place ancient Egyptian culture in its proper cultural context. This study examines the
'proto-cultures' of the three 'cradles' posited by Diop: northern, southern, and the zone of
confluence.
