What the heck are you even talking about? Nothing in this posts even makes sense.
Never understood this shyt. The ancient Egyptians weren't black or white. They were brown. Their own historical documents and images clearly show distinctions between themselves, Greeks (whites), and Nubians (blacks).
First of all elaborate on what is "brown." Because that's something everyone just loves using when describing the Egyptians. How many material whether historic books, primary sources, bio-anthropological, genetic studies, etc have you read to even come to that conclusion?
First of all your distinction between the "Black" Nubians and "Brown" Egyptians is only a thing of Eurocentric imagination. Solely based on this 1820s RECREATION of the actual painting from the book of dead.
Here is the ORIGINAL painting.
As you can see many of the paint has faded. And even the Libyan and Semite were much darker than what's seen in the recreation.
Lastly ii you know anything about Nile Valley history then you would be fully aware of the fact that there WAS NO NUBIAN PEOPLE! It was a term coined by the Romans to refer to people South of Egypt i.e the Sudan which was diverse in many different African types. Some who were Nilotic and pitch Black as you describe as the "Black Nubians" and some who were more Afro-Asiatic and more similar in complexion with the "brown" Egyptians. Either way we have paintings such as these.
More importantly it is basic 101 Egyptology knowledge that the people, pharonic culture, etc came from "Nubia."
To sum up, Nubia is Egypt’s African ancestor. What linked Ancient Egypt to the rest of the North African cultures is this strong tie with the Nubian pastoral nomadic lifestyle, the same pastoral background commonly shared by most of the ancient Saharan and modern sub-Saharan societies. Thus, not only did Nubia have a prominent role in the origin of Ancient Egypt, it was also a key area for the origin of the entire African pastoral tradition.

Kush conquered the entirety of Egypt and created the 25th Egyptian Dynasty. Those pharaohs were clearly black. Egpyt was indeed a black kingdom during that period. But it didn't last forever and it doesn't erase what Egypt was beforehand.
Again, you are wallowing in the myth that there was a "Black Nubia" and "Brown Egypt" when I have shown that the people and culture of Egypt came from the Nubian area.
But... Let me show you just how "Negroid" or "Black" in terms of PC those Egyptians looked like in terms of physical anthropology.
"Analyses of Egyptian crania are numerous. Vercoutter (1978) notes that ancient Egyptian crania have frequently all been lumped (implicitly or explicitly) as Mediterranean, although Negroid remains are recorded in substantial numbers by many workers... "Nutter (1958), using the Penrose statistic, demonstrated that Nagada I and Badari crania, both regarded as Negroid, were almost identical and that these were most similar to the Negroid Nubian series from Kerma studied by Collett (1933). [Collett, not accepting variability, excluded "clear negro" crania found in the Kerma series from her analysis, as did Morant (1925), implying that they were foreign..."

If the people in Egypt were more similar to the "Negroid Nubians" then where did these "Brown Egyptians" come from?
The reality is that Egypt was a diverse kingdom with brown people in upper Egypt and black people in lower Egypt. That balance fluctuated.
The bolded shows your ignorance on the subject no offense. Even the most conservative Egyptologist says that BLACK people were in UPPER Egypt and NOT Lower Egypt. Upper Egypt is southern Egypt while Lower Egypt is northern. Due to the Nile river flowing from South to North. Upper Egypt is where the civilization originated in the first place. Lower Egypt on the other hand especially during the dynastic times was not as developed but some backwater.
I'm all for pushing back against white lies and revision - clearly they weren't white. But let's not erase another ethnic group's history in the process.
You referring to Modern Egyptians?
Technically "white people" is a modern concept that didn't even exist at the time.
I don't stand it when people use this excuse. While people in antiquity did not have the sophisticated classifiation of "race" like modern times, they did have examples like it. Especially the Greeks. And the Egyptians did have terms for "white" and did see themselves differently from the Asiatics...
"Asiatics (whites) are both cowardly and pitiful, leading a marginal existence, constantly fighting but with nothing ever settled. They are also sly and ultimately treacherous, attacking without warning. This passage characterizes Asiatics as both primitive and threatening.. In this case, the passage reflects Egypt's combination of colonial domination and outright military conflict.."
