Massive Black Sarcophagus Unearthed in Egypt

I'm not expert on artefacts and material history either, I'm into traditional history based on literary sources and coins and things like that.
But if the thing appears European-style sculpture then the reason would be it's probably depicting a Macedonian and it was probably created by a Greek craftsman
Well there not enough black anthologist and professionals to counter act their claims.
Be the change you wanna see.
This is so true, the lack of minority interest in humanities and especially pursuing academic humanities as a career is largely why the world is so ignorant about the truth.
I'm trying to be a historian and at just the first level after bachelor's, the minority students just melt away. Aside from a few east Asians I'm the only non-white person in the group
Watch out for any ancient Egypt articles/books etc that are heavily focused with the most northern part of the land. And double watch out when they focus on anything after 600BC.
These cacs will ignore thousands of miles of architecture... and skip over 4,000+ years of history just to focus on "Alexandria" & ptolemy's invader era
Very slick
It is a little more accessible and easier to focus on Achaemenid and Ptolemaic Egypt because you don't have to go to the trouble of learning hieroglyphics. Ancient Greek and cuneiform will do you fine for sources covering those periods.
The language barrier is the greatest challenge. I'm Indian and I'd love to be a scholar in ancient Indian history but it's such a difficult task because I'd need to learn Kharosthi Sanskrit just as a basic requirement. Having to master obscure languages from thousands of years ago just to get started is tough.
On the other hand you can cover Roman history so easily because so much of it has been translated and besides Latin is not difficult to learn since it uses the exact same alphabet as English, and since there's no shortage of places you can go to learn Latin.
Also at summer school this January I took an undergraduate class on ancient Egypt & west Asia and it entirely focused on the African and Achaemenid periods. The only European bit was the Persian invasions of Greece and the life of Alexander.

I would love for them to live stream the opening. (Normally I hate unboxing vids)
But I doubt they will document everything and in 6 months we will see some stripped down version of what they REALLY found

I agree, even more when you're not a descendent of the people you unearth.

What can you tell us about the origins of ancient Egypt and it's original inhabitants before the influx of invaders?
