    i've heard people say the Sphynx face was carved as a Nubian Sub-Saharan African, looking at the proportions being compared, it seems plausable

    Nubian or Subsaharan? Choose one

    "Nubia, covered by present-day northern Sudan and southern Egypt, was referred to as "Aethiopia" ("land of the burnt face") by the Greeks.45

    Nubia in her greatest phase is considered sub-Saharan Africa's oldest urban civilisation. Nubia was a major source of gold for the ancient world. Nubians built famous structures and numerous pyramids. Sudan, the site of ancient Nubia, has more pyramids than anywhere else in the world

    Nubia Civilization in Sub-Saharan Africa began in the land of Nubia, which denotes the region around the segment of the Nile River in northern Sudan and southernmost Egypt. Nubia was the southern neighbour of ancient Egypt, whose territory also lay along the banks of the Nile (see History of the Ancient Middle East)."

    Everybody wants to appropriate Egyptian history like it was the only great african civilisation but the continent had hundreds of flourishing empires that are not being talked about

    Ancient Egyptians looked middle eastern and cleopatra was greek and theres not much more to it, race didnt matter that much at the time so maybe they had important black figures but their population kinda looked like they do now.

    My bad i misread your post i thought you were talking about the theory it was destroyed to hide the fact it was a black man’s face

    The history of ancient Egypt is longer than the history of modern humanity. There were probably times in there where they were black, but nobody can say for sure.

    To your point, Cleopatra VII was born closer to the invention of the iPhone than the election of the pyramids

    Only the southern part of Sudan is sub-Saharan. The rest of the land is in the Sahara. Matter of fact, Nubians had more to share with the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula than with sun-Saharan Africa. Nomadic life spanned the deserts of Arabia to those of Mauritania and even Mali

    This is a question that has been bothering me for quite a while due to people, always without citing sources, stating that Ancient Egyptian people and pharaohs and what have you were dark-skinned.

    But can we for certain say "the ancient Egyptians were X color" before getting "colonized" by the greeks?

    Why has it bothered you for so long

  • Dec 5, 2020

    But for the question . Yes they were black and they enslaved white people. White people got so enraged that they flipped the script and enslaved blacks . Now we are returning to blacks enslaving whites . Everything revolves

    Considering that Middle Easterners, South Europeans, and Central Africans would probably migrate, trade and travel to ancient Egyptian empires...I would say there was no 1 race in it, just like how Egypt looks like today.

    You'd probably find black, white, brown all over the place. It's really not that hard to think about or believe honestly

    indigenous north africans are exclusively black tho

    Not true

    The berber people of north Africa are indigenous to Africa and have brown skin. There is both historical (Egyptian writings mention them) and genetic evidence theyve lived there for millennia upon millennia

    They were mixed. There were different races in power throughout their history

    They also traded a lot. Egypt is best compared to like New York and Louisiana in that there were many cultures contributing to what ancient Egypt was as a society
