Popular debate among the internet is whether the ancient Egyptians were white or black?
As a student of history, I have examined this issue. I would like your thoughts on this matter and please explain to us why you think the way you think.
I have met quite a few Egyptian women who are natually blonde; and some of these are light skinned; others are more tanned. Almost all Egyptians I have ever met are tanned--not one is black.
Africans allege that Arabs intermixed with them and this explains why today's Egyptians are not black; but I don't think the Arabs really intermixed with the ancient Egyptians all that much, certainly not enough to change their color. In genetic studies I have studied, Egyptians are not close with so called Arabs.
I have been told on many occassions by Egyptians that I look Egyptain. And I'm a European. Natually, some Egyptians are darker than others, like southern Indians are darker than northern Indians. But generally speaking, Egyptians are closer to white than black. They look like a typical southern Mediterannean people.
Natually, blacks would like to claim ancient Egypt as its own. They argue that ancient Egypt proves that blacks were a superior and intellegent race.
It appears that no one wants to be black; it is sign among the people of the world of ignorance and unattractiveness.
