Egyptian mummies- not for children.

A browse through the mummies in the worlds museums, and Cairo museum's mummy catalog. Includes one Nubian prince (Maiherpri), and one possibly Asiatic mummy, Tiye's father Yuya.

Ramses and many others have hennaed red hair, a common trick to cover ageing grey hair or to enhance brown hair. Mainly the hair is naturally dark brown to black Caucasian hair with the occasional naturally fair and auburn sample (Ramses was auburn in his youth as was his father) and was well preserved by the stable climate condtions in the tombs. Specimens buried in sand may have had their hair lightened (Ginger). Many of the mummies are wearing hair weaves, and the bald headed mummies would probably have worn ornate wigs when alive.

Human skin only ever darkens after death (skin turns black from decomposition), so a guide to the in-life skin tone is to pick the lightest and therefore least decayed patch on the mummy.

@paulypaulification Yes not that many 100% nubian Pharoes dident show up til 1000b.c.-600 b.c. But you cannnot claim egypt to be white . . . only Ptolomy/Cleapatras had Greek/Macodian blood and until 100 a.d. did the Romans rule and they had nothing to do with egypt except ruling and taking resourses so whites cant claim much of egypt bulshit. Only Egyptions Can. So , . the techKnowledgy came from africa. The End

You all shall keep in mind, that before talking, you should read and investigate.

Egypt was unified a long time ago, before it was divided in two parts, one in the northen part of nile (roughly the delta) and the southern part of Nile, to another tribe. Both of them were locals. Then once united, Egypt conquered more territories in the south (inside actual Soudan). After that, Egypt got conquered by the greeks (european), and then the romans (european). Egypt was the 1st melting pot !

The technology did not come from Africa. You want proof look at the mummies,art work,and all that is early dynasty. Black mummies don't show up untill later,don't be fooled by black Egypt propaganda,911 conspiracy,big foot,or any other bullshit.Yall think 18th and 19th dynasty means something. It doesn't meen shit! You fuckers don't see how close Europe is? They came on fucking boats,you fucking ignorant fucktards
