    [insert racist joke about slave labor]

    Seriously though... I am not one bit suprised. Living in any area like that, one is bound to get a tan.

    No. They weren't.

    This is black supremacist NONSENSE.

    The lack of negroid features in the majority of sculpture, art, and data from corpses unequivocally classifies Egyptians as non-black.

    Consider the most recent conception of how king Tut is thought to have looked like: http://blog.espen.net/blog2/blogs/media/2_21_king_tut.jpg

    Note the lack skin tone, the hair, the straight nose, the only moderately puffy lips...

    Then again... the OP could be thinking "If your skin is not white, then you are black."

    Yes, because a computer rendered image posted on a blog site is supposed to be taken as fact for what he actually looked like.

    It's obvious you haven't read the scientific study. If you have, can you please indicate what portion of the study you're refuting? Can you please link the sources that you're basing your counter argument on? The evidence cleary indicates that based on the dental observations,the populace of northern Africa was homogenous from the neolithic to the pre-dyanistic period.

    That's a hypothesis, not saying it's wrong! But there's other factors that one can measure to determine ones race. Like dental records, which is irefutable!

    No dental records of Egyptians show them to be primarily negro. And again, the tremendous absence Thnegroid features in their art, in mummies, and in the records of other peoples.

    I will, however, note that it is extremely likely that Egyptians had enough contact with negros through the Nubians and Ethiopians to have a large minority of mulattos.

    Can you please link the source of your information. The link that I provided, conducted by the University of Alaska, provides irefutable proof that Ancient Egyptians were descendants of the negroid idigenous tribes. Until you can provide an anthropoligical study that supports your conclusions, i'm afraid your obersvations are basesless.

    This Sculputure clearly depicts negroid features.

    There's no scientific data to support your theory. You're blustering once again.

    That the Egyptians were black is supported by historical writings.

    The Greek historian Herodotus, for example, described the Colchians of the Black Sea shores as "Egyptians by race" and pointed out they had "black skins and kinky hair."

    Apollodorus, the Greek philosopher, described Egypt as "the country of the black-footed ones" and the Latin historian Ammianus Marcellinus said "the men of Egypt are mostly brown or black with a skinny desiccated look."

    This all falls apart with the fact mummies still have hair alot of the time. Not only do they not have frizzy hair (ever? Never heard of it or seen it) but blondes and red heads are common. So if anything it seems the ancient egyptians were even less "dark" than one would assume (judging by egyptians of today).
    They weren't even "araby", let alone negroid.
    Not the important ones anyway.
     
  20. Well, actually yes. I was going to mention that one - also, call me old fashioned here, but the Egyptians were monumentally diligent civil servants and archivists. They documented in their own hand virtually everything, including highly illustrative depictions of themselves which clearly show delineation between "Egyptian" and people of black African descent.

  22. And this would be why the Egyptians depicted themselves as with an emphasis on lighter skin and more aquiline features, becasue....?

    They were admixtures perhaps?
