lol at the whitewashing of ancient egypt, and of history in general

[steakandshrimp]

the suppression of the thought that black africans could have had an advanced society is pathetic to say the least. now im not saying ancient egypt was completely black, but the black evidence is downplayed and suppressed so much, it angers me. how many kids grow up thinking ancient egyptians were white, given their portrayal in the media

[andy2020]

Ancient Egyptians weren't Black or White.

[steakandshrimp]

Ancient Egyptians weren't White.

this is true

[F23]

Ancient Egyptians were basically Arab. They weren't black or white.

They certainly weren't sub-Saharan African, or "black."

they weren't arabs all the way back then, but they probably looked similar due to the climate. IE tanned.

I mean I'm paki and get confused of various people all the time including latinos. why? because we both live in hot climates and look similar.

ancient ancient egyptians might be considered 'black'
but the ones of the classical period weren't, after alexander egypt was in fact ruled by the ptolemaic dynasty of Macedonia (in b4 FYROM vs HR debate) who were definitely not black

a better case of argument would be the Malinese empire and the stuff being excavated at Timbuktu, all were examples of subharan cultures and very strong ones
Most 'black' kingdoms flourished during the Islamic period

Ancient Egyptians were Mediterranean whites. Pharaoh DNA analysis showed western European origin. And I'm Russian - i got nothing to gain from this.

[java568]

The black pharoahs were Nubians who conquered Egypt for some time around the Second Intermediate Period you n00bz0rsauce

Blacks are not only robbing gas stations, but people's history too. In 1000 years, they will show Obama's picture and claim America was a black empire.

[ne12o]

ancient egyptians were black... not arab.

[mjfan12]

if the egyptians were black, than they sure loved their slavery, amiright?

western people feel the need to categorize people into 'black,white,bla bla bla bla bla'

egyptians just a semitic group of people prior to arabization. And even now as Arabs they are a semitic group.


Adn **** no they aren't a 'mediterranean' white. They belong to the same sub group or race as ethiopians,arabs and other semitic ethnicities

there really is no 'brown' race

only brown/tan skin

i.e. a cambodian isn't the same as a moroccan and so on

I understand that steak brah

But even the ancient egyptians were a semitic group of people. do your research about their language. Hot damn

Arabs are caucasian you ****ing idiot.

[andy2020]

Actually, this is up for dispute.

Some archeologist think that they were the same as the Egyptians.

this

but the idea of 'white mediteranean' Egypt comes from the fact the the Ptolemaic line ruled Egypt after Alexander's invasion/death.

That's not to say black people didn't have great empires, so search up stuff on the excavations at Timbuktu

[F23]

These are the Nubians, dumbass.

[Baby_Jesus]

the suppression of the thought that black africans could have had an advanced society

stopped reading after that

[Skunk]

That Nat Geo article is about the ancient Nubian (Kushite) kings - not an article about the skin color of the typical Egyptians themselves.

[andy2020]

Arabs are caucasian you ****ing idiot.

LMAO

The Browns are classified as Caucasians, you ****ing retard.
