Egypt was not a Black civilization 3

This is a slideshow of some Egyptians mummies, their funerary mask, some statues, Paintings from some tombs, and some funerary papyrus (The Book of the Dead). The ancient Egyptians represented the race accurately. Maiherpri was a Nubian bodyguard for Thutmose IV; Maiherpri died in the age of 20. His papyrus show him offering to the Gods and whilst he is shown with the normal profile of men of the period, his skin is painted dark brown rather than the usual red ochre and his hair is shown as being short and curly. This papyrus clearly shows how different skin colors were accurately depicted and that a darker skin was the exception rather than the rule.

Africa as a concept did not exist in ancient times. It is a huge continent, and just like Asia has many faces. Ancient Egypt had nothing in common with tribal sub Saharans just like Indian Hinduism has nothing to do with Chinese Buddism.

I don't understand, are black people ashamed of african heritage> if so why? it is beautiful country with rich culture of it's own. Why do they claim to be egypt, Israelites, first americans, etc?

Funny, just about every painting was that of Black people. Black doesn't mean only jet black with flat noses, and thick lips. Black people originate all over the planet. They are not just confined to Africa.

Nice video. Black people, don't be sad. Remember, you still have Nubia/Kush, and um.. the bushmen. That clickity click click language is AWESOME! Definitely an early ancestor of rap music, another fine black contribution to the world.

How can people say they are either? They might have been such a mix of people that we might never know. Sure it's a great topic, but is it realy anyones place to decide that this is what they are?
