with this logic then egypt was also white because of the greek dynasty that ruled there.:comeon:

Fact of the matter is nobody knows anything about history because it is liable to distortion. Only way I will believe any historical thing is if I can travel back in time and view it for myself.
Good point :yeshrug: but Greeks and romans combined to rule Egypt for over 1000 years...I wouldn't be surprised if the population was pretty mixed...

The Severus dynasty.

The thing about busts, even though a lot of them were made with revisionist intentions, people back then often tried to portray everyone like themselves (because race wasn’t as much of a thing then) so you’ll see that Black people are portrayed with Eurocentric features, but the hair will be different or something.

You see how the hair doesn’t look like your average Roman? I believe that may be their way of drawing early racial distinctions.. because you see that same thing with historical figures who we know were not white (Hannibal comes to mind)

:huhldup:
what's the face for?
