A 3,300-year-old hairstyle on a preserved ancient Egyptian head

1. Olmecs, Aztecs, Powhattan, Iroquois, Nazca, etc.

2. The authors of documents aren't liars because of their ethnicity and ".....centrists' exist in ALL ethnic groups.

3. I have problems with people promoting false ideas under the guise of 'scholarship'. See Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval.​

1. Do you know how each of these groups looked like?
2. I agree, you can't paint a brush on people, but let me ask again: What is an "afrocentrist"?
3. Did Ivan Van Sertima promote his book under the guise of 'scholarship'?

In Ancient Egypt, colors had meanings we don't ascribe anymore that had NOTHING to do with their actual skin pigmentation.

From magic power to fertility to economic status.

That's why.​

I get that with the religious depictions and the symbolic depections. But what we're both talking about seemed to just be showing representations of the populations they were interacting with

egyptians in the front, north africans, nilotic nubians and assyrians

1. Their (South/Central American) descendants look just like them and live in the same areas. North American Natives got decimated and acclimated. From populations of tens of millions down to a few hundred thousand.

2. Afrocentrism is a response to Eurocentrism and just as misguided by presupposing African superiority rather than European in establishing culture and civilization. This is a gross oversimplification.

3. Yes. When it was originally published in the late-70's/early-80's thanks to Toni Morrison, until now......

A 20th Century comparison would be a "White" American, a Native American 'redskin', and a yellow 'Chinese/Asian' person.

Those depictions aren't about skin coloration as we WELL know, now.

Their depictions were of the SAME nature.

They are symbolic.​

yea but how does it apply to the picture above

for instance, what is the symbolism in making both the arab groups white. And the Egyptians making themselves brown

And again egyptiians seemed to use brown as a baseline pigmentation for them. Symbolic or not

And even in this analogy you still land the plane, on a depiction of seperate groups and races

1. That's debatable, nobody can say with certainty how those people looked like.
2. Interesting, do you call out eurocentrism in this forum just as you do afrocentrism?
3.Anybody else can confirm that?

1. Those arent literal depictions and the coloration represents different 'races' as they understood them. White was for 'purity', Black was for fertility/deity and death/the underworld, yellow was the Sun and, to a great extent, people who lived along the Mediterranean, red was the color of chaos and the desert, the opposite of black. The brown color is a mix of yellow, red, black, and green.....

Color in Ancient Egypt

The ancient Egyptians had a great appreciation for life which is clearly depicted through their art. Images of people enjoying themselves - whether in this life or the next - are as plentiful as those...

Now, were Sub-Saharan Africans in Ancient Egypt? Of course they were. Was Egypt primarily comprised of Sub-Saharan African people or North African people?

Evidence shows they were North African BEFORE Roman conquest. Let's suppose however, that isn't the case. Suppose Ancient Egypt was 99% Sub-Saharan Nubian, for instance. Why is that no longer the case? You're talking about foreign invaders displacing several tens of millions of people with NO evidence of such migration, and they never took it back.​

But the colors don't represent 'races' in the modern sense of the term we use, today.​
