sugoi-rudeboi: jelizabeth41: lyriciss: petitfemmenoir: THIS IS NOT NEWS I don’t know what people expect Egyptians to be. I guess watching The 10 Commandments on ABC growing up got folks thinking they all looked like bronzed white people. 👆👆👆👆👆 BREAKING NEWS: BLACK PEOPLE ARE BLACK. THIS IS AN AMAZING DISCOVERY. BLACK PEOPLE EXISTED BEFORE WE DISCOVERED THEM AND ENSLAVED THEM AND FUCKED UP THEIR LAND. WOW. Africans in Africa? Mind blown.

This is not strictly true. There’s no consensus on the race of the ancient Egyptians. Most evidence (genetic and artistic) seems to indicate that there was great diversity in skin color and ethnicity in the nation. Some certainly would have looked more middle eastern than black. For Pete’s sake, they depicted themselves as reddish-brown, and they depicted others as black.
