Does it matter if the ancient Egyptians were BLACK or WHITE?
 

Why is their race such a monumental bone of contention? Would it be such a blow to the white European ego to know that Classical Greece was actually heavily influenced by black African refugees from Egypt?

See martin Bernal's "BLACK ATHENA" for citations and supporting evidence

In the north of Egypt the people are (almost) white, the further you go south the darker their skin gets. So shut up, you know nothing.

Whoever they were, they sure made their mark on histry and left behind some amazing shit.

LOL

That's the racial distribution NOW, jackass. It is a well documented fact that Egypt faced several Asian/Euro invasions due to its rich farmland.

Look at the heiroglyphics/temple paintings/tomb paintings that still retain their original paint. The ancient Egyptians were neither black or white...they were medium brown, and the fact that people argue about what color they were is ridiculous.

Black people have to make that shit up because their race still hasn't even been able to use indoor plumbing after thousands of years.

The colour of their skin should not matter. Their achievements matter a great deal! :thumbsup

Well from what i've seen of the wall paintings in teh pyramids a lot of them are really light even white like... But then again there was really dark ones also so i'm thinking that the mixing started a lonf time before the pyramids...

Can you back that up?

I always just thought of them as Egyptian, never black or white.
