What race do you think Ancient Egypt was?

So why do you use "the ancient egyptians were african" to prove they were black, if even modern Egyptians are africans?

 

Not really, way before the romans there were wars in Cannon against the Hyksos, Hittites, Nubia, sometimes conquering and sometimes being conquered. All of long before the rise of Rome.

 

It was the crossroads from the middle east into Africa. Syria, Persia, the Hyksos, Hittites and latter Alexander the Great and the Roman Empire had to travel through Cannon across the Sinai into Egypt to enter Africa.

 

What I have said quite simply is that the ancient Egyptians were biologically African and tropically adapted with biological affinities to modern ethnic groups such as the Somali, Oromo and Nilotic peoples all groups that are commonly called Black today but some like the Somali aren't considered to be "Negroid." I have outlined problems with the term Negroid and don't use that term myself. If you want to make a distinction between brown Middle Easterners and black Africans then ok the ancient Egyptians looked like Black Africans not brown Middle Eastern folk.

 

Yes, the have found Pharaonic inscriptions in Arabia that are over 3,000 years old.

 

Whats the difference between negroid and black?

 

Negroid means "resembling a black" but there are stereotypical perceptions about what a Black person looks like. Are you familiar with the concept of the true Negro? Scholars like Charles Seligman believed that the broad features (wide noses, thick lips and, robust face) of some African populations represented the image of what "real" Africans looked like and that all other phenotypes in Africa were the product of admixture between Negroes and non-Africans. In other words only the broad phenotype was authentically African. Modern anthropologists such as Shomarka Keita have debunked this myth. Dark-skinned Africans have a variety of facial features. There is no true African phenotype. Africans are the most genetically diverse continental group in the world because Africa is where humans originated and over time many different physical traits have evolved on the continent. So I don't use the word Negroid. It is an outdated anthropological term. Black is also problematic to a degree because Africans are not the only dark-skinned people in the world and there is also a range of complexions in Africa but I use it for the purposes of communication because most people are not familiar with the fallacies of the race concept.

 

I was going to say human, but now I'm leaning toward Martian.

 

How so? Europeans have diverse hair and eye colors (black, different shades of brown, blond for hair color-blue, green, and different shades of brown for eye color). Most Africans have only black hair and dark brown (almost black) looking eyes. Im not saying all black people look alike and Im not being racist-but they do have less diverse features than Europeans and other groups-thats just an observable fact.

 

There are only a few genes that determine hair and eye color. Africans are more diverse in their overall genetic composition than other populations, not necessarily in physical traits.

 

Why are Europeans the only racial group that has diverse hair and eye colors?

 

No they have near identical DNA, that's a fact to 99. 9 % certainty

 

prove it

 

The bible states such. If you concede that the bible is Afrocentric then fair enough, it is what it is

 

I only have maps not bloody ones. A cross - road would denote a northern land ( road) mass. There is no road but the sea. No cross road, u mistake km. t for Israel, easily done to the untrained eye

 

Obviously you don't know about the ancient trade routes.. Egypt traded north and south.. They traded to Babylon and the Levant.. from Yemen to Alexandria... From the Indus Valley to Dilmun... and all around the Mediterranean.

 

You don't even know who hekakasut was and Hittite never got near a Egypt. Nubia was a egypt

 

Are you talking about the red haired people from the area of the Black Sea??

 

Trade routes don't denote crossroads. Zimbabwe had immense trade routes so to India but still no crossroad. Britain, masters of trade but no crossroad. U don't even know who the founder of km. t was you should have left this topic out of shame

 

Where does the bible say the ancient egyptians were black?

 

The nibiru were not of this earth, u should chat with that guy who mentioned Martians this is about reality not some crazy biblical conspiracy

Read it

 

Why are you on Sitchens? What does that have to do with this subject?

Quote it.. Nowhere in the Bible does it say Egyptians were black.. Heck it was only 3,000 years ago.

 

The person who wrote this is obviously a racist trying to rationalize racism. Herskovits didn't say anything about lying about history simply that the answer to combating racism may lie with revising the Western perspective on African history which up to that point had been harshly denigrated by racist Eurocentrists.

It's probably an adaptation to the climate of Europe.

 

Egypt and Ethiopia were brothers according to the bible both sons of ham. Tell me how two brothers can be different so called races

Egypt Somalia and Ethiopia all the same states the bible. Read between lines don't hate and congratulate what was and will always be a wonderful thing we are beloved brothers of this seed everyone of us northern southern western eastern
