Ridley Scott Tries To Explain Why The ‘Exodus: Gods And Kings’ Cast Is So White

[tehdamajah]

3500 BC - 2014 AD = 5,000 years old

Arabs conquered Egypt in 642 AD
Romans conquered Egypt in 30 BC
Greeks conquered Egypt in 332 BC
Persia, Assyria, Nubia conquered Egypt one after another going on back to 800 BC

Any time period before that there were no invasions and no large groups of outside peoples besides the century (1700BC-1600BC) the Hyskos ruled until they were kicked out. "Moses" supposedly lived somewhere between 1500 BC and 1200 BC. That just so happens to be the period of the New Kingdom. The greatest era of Egypt. They were black. There is no record of anybody else but Africans being there then They were black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, BLACK, black They may not have been midnight blue black but, neither are most African Americans.

wikipedia is not reliable

Iranians, Spaniards, Arabs?

None of those people were even in Egypt durig Ramsese time. But I forgot, the average American doesn't know that. @ olive skin

Taken off?
Dude is the definition of a working supporting actor. His name means nothing to the box office of any movie.
Like I said in my first post...I could understand Bale as Moses but Edgerton as Ramses is just some bullshyt.

maybe he killed the casting

Everybody should go ahead look up the trailer for the movie and read the comments section

Okay. You're trolling.

Here's National Geographic.

And another Ancient Egyptian timeline.

http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/time/explore/main.html

Read. Learn something.

Cacs get there 2,000 years ago and act like Egypt wasn't a kingdom 3,000 years PRIOR to their arrival.

Can you imagine the outrage if there was to be a movie based on the Greek empire, and the whole cast was black? Whites would lose their minds, hell they were mad about mbj being the human torch, and Spiderman being some blackp Puerto Rican

EXACTLY!!!! but they run the sh#t so unless we crowd fund our own stories this is what we have to deal with.

This youtube messege tho


Can't enjoy anything Ancient Egypt related these days without a pack of Afrocentric morons chimping out about how "DA GYPSHUNZ WUZ BLACK! WE BE GYPSHUNZ N SHEET"
Ancient Egypt was NOT Black. North Africa has historically always been very different to the rest of Africa and the Egyptians contrast themselves to the black-skinned barbarians that lived to the south frequently in their art.

I don't need to...a Youtube comments section is one of the most reliably racist places on the Internet.

Was just talking in class last night how they have been selling the "Egpyt isn't part of Africa" bullshyt for CENTURIES

I love Ridley Scott as a filmmaker and artist but I honestly hope this film bombs badly. A message needs to be sent. EVERY SINGLE EGYPT FILM IS LIKE THIS IN HOLLYWOOD. I can't believe he said that. That had to be one the weakest defenses for White Washing ever. That was even worst than what the "Noah" screenwriter said about "Biblical History is a lot of myth and has no race", LOL.
