How sick I am of seeing the Ancient Egyptians depicted as some mixnoid race of Arabs who, by the way weren't even there when those pyramids were built. The great masters of deceptions, the white race has forever poisoned the world to the truth but I know that every mummified pharoah taken from the valley of the kings and queens were Negroid! That's right. One day you are going to pay for your lies.

The Ancient Egyptians were a mixed culture and race. Some Egyptians were Negroid, others mixed, and some were non-Negroid. The mummies and the historic record support these facts.

Love Kemet and all of it's stored knowledge, woe to all who carelessly treat kemet like some amusement park and don't acknowledge the spiritual divinity of the original home of the sun people, chances are, if you can't go out in the sun with out sun screan, you are not of the sun people. You all had better be carefull how you treat my peoples belongings.

The Egyptian were BLACK AFRICANS. Of course, the white man is going to not attribute an extrodinary history, to people of color. They don't want us to have a history, so they can try to DIVIDE AND CONQUER. They have been doing it for thousands of years and weak-minded people allow that crap. We know what it was. Hell it.s Africa. Just how they still, now, don't allow Black History in public schools. It's all about brainwashing people for domination. Whites are'nt just guilty of this, the Spainards adopted that mess as well as others now.

Maybe we should make do to remember that in the ancient times...skin color was not a dividing factor as it is today. sure people were all different kinds of colors but it really didnt matter. the egyptians were a melting pot of sorts, they had people of many different colors as shown in thier artwork. please also remember that they were ruled over by other cultures and civilizations from time to time. from the darkest of dark nubians, to the lightest of light europeans. yes they were africans and people need to not try to remove egypt from africa, there were many civilizations that predate egypt in africa and helped give rise to the egyptians. i do believe that egyptians were darker than they like to protray them, but that is a fault of our modern shortcomings.

It's a struggle. A deep struggle. No one can explain. All I can say is that only negroes understand everything...

cleopatra was descended from greek european stock and had white skin and green eyes and brown hair,the race of ancien tegypt is mixed,neither the blacks or white can claim that it dominated the country ,race as we know it was not a factor ,the egyptians were at odds with their neigbors and mingled.

and they were taken captive on ships so it was in the begin so shall it be in the end hide the truth all u'll want it must come to light!

yes, the egytians became a mixed race, but in their beginning they were black or kemit as they referred to themselves, which means blackest of black. in fact, herotodus, a greek historian that was an eye witness to the egyptians said that they had kinky hair and black skin. in the bible book of psalms, egypt is referred to as the land of ham,,,noahs black son. it was not until later when they were conquered, that they began to be assimiliated through marriages and relations with the white man, that egyptians began to lighten in color, which is sometimes what is depicted in very few ancient drawings in pyramids by egyptians. often times these few lighter characters found in their art, referred not to their skin color, but to the weakness of a particular individual. in fact, in ancient egyptians writings it has been found that the egyptians envied the beauty of their neighbors the nubians,,,so much so that they attempted to enhance themselves to look like them. they could not have done this if they were white

Some of you people amaze me. I've been to Egypt many times and the paintings are varied in skin tones. Most are a honey-colored tan, but many are black. The Egyptians were truly a melting pot of people and race played no part in that. Queen Tye is the exact opposite of Nefertiti and yet both were revered and loved. So get off your racial rantings.

Herodotus did not live until the the latter part of the New Kingdom, so yes the Nubians ruled Egypt at that time and yes they were black. Nubians ruled for about a century or so and tried to return Egypt to its glory. They did a grand job if it, too.

i am an african american women who has light skin and green eyes my mom has more brown eyes and light skin. our family has many shades. my mothers mother is medium shade and the color spectrum varies in our family. i wonder who are we and what is our descendants. our family tree stoped in cameron texas in the 1900s. so i wonder are we the descendants of the triangle trade?

Ok. The Egyptians were black? Where they not a melting pot like most superpowers? Lets get past all that and find the truth of this extraordinary culture.
