The Ancient Egyptians did NOT depict themselves the same as black Africans.

'Egyptians portrayed themselves the same way they portrayed black Africans' is one of those myths pushed by the racist nutjobs who are trying to disinherit modern Egyptians from their ancestors acheivements.

Egyptians depicted themselves very differently to black Nubians, although the southernmost Egyptians and northernmost Nubians would have been pretty similar physcially, which is why you see darker Egyptians and lighter Nubians in the art at times.

Naturally blond and red hair are unccommon in modern and ancient Egypt, but are seen occassionally as far south as Nubia. As far as modern DNA can tell modern Egyptians (who are mainly African A,B,E for Y chromosomes) and Near Easterners (mainly J Y chr) haven't had more than 5-10% immigration from Eurasia that's historical, so it's actually impossible for them to be a recent immigrant population.

Because North Africans dislike being lumped in with black Africans, who tehy historically despise.

DNA has proved modern Egyptians aren't immigrant except for a lot of black female slave ancestry. DNA shows it, get over the black egypt crap.

Actually she was a Nubian lady marrued to a pharoah, and then a queen fo Egypt. er nationality was Nubian.

Actually, Egyptians genetically cluster with Wset Asians not black Africans. About 1/5 of their total ancestry at the delta is sub Saharan and at upper Egypt its about 1/3. So what cereal box did you get 1/2 African from?

FYI, the 50/50 mark is in the northern part of the Sudan.

@wilb6657

This means that the AFRICAN R HAPLOGROUP(which some Egyptians had/still have) is only vaguely related to the European one

It is very closely related to the wset Asian one though. It shows a back migration into Africa in the Neolithic from the near east area.

@wilb6657

the E y chr Egyptians have are quite specifically north East African and only presnet in SS Africans through a very old migration into Ethiopa many milenia ago.

Egyptians Y chr prove there could have been no population replacement by Eurasian in Egyt. Not to mention the maternal DNA from the mummies is not that of black Africans.

Actually there are some pyramids in Greece that predate the Egyptian ones. LOL.

"They are fiction. They are based on a desire for them to be true. They are based on a notion that white scholars have repressed the truth ."

very true.

DNA studies in Egypt have shown virtually NIl input from Greeks, persians and Arabs etc. The Male ancetry of Egypt has been largely unchanged for the last 8k. there's been a mass influx of black female slaves during the islamic era though.

@chukwuemeka23456

Actually modern and ancient Nubians were about 60% West Asian Caucasoid in ancestry and still are.

But your point about west Africa is fair enough.

@TheSweetSarahize

Their skull were elongated- the same as many modern Egyptians.

FYI DNA studies on mummies show that the only large scale immigration into Egypt was dfrom black African slaves. Modern Y chr studies show modern Egyptians have native north East African male ancestry. It's impossible for them to be an immigrant population. Get over it.
