She looks like she belongs in ancient Egypt

[Bawon Samedi]

What about how they were depicted makes them look "primitive" in your opinion? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying that to me they don't look primitive, they just look different.

They're not painted in such detail as Ramses;which the Egyptians did with EVERYONE. But when you see depictions of Kushytes in their own art, they're painted in detailed just like the Egyptians.

I believe that on average, the Egyptians and Nubians looked similar to each other, but not exactly alike. Do you disagree with that?

Not all Egyptians themselves looked exactly alike, since they were a mixture of many African people imo.

I disagree slightly considering there was never a "Nubian" and the people south of Egypt were never unified and had their own looks. But that does not change that fact that Egyptians came from the south(Nubia).

I'll wait for the Somalis to show me their rich wrestling tradition

Because to make them look "primitive" since they were the enemies.And again the Egyptians depicted themselves this pitch black.

It had hardly anything to do with skin color. And everyone seemed to miss when I said some of the Nubians were the same color as Ramses but they were painted to look "primitive". But more importantly note in the first picture of blond hair dye which is STILL a tradition used by Nilotics today!

By your logic I shouldn't use any of the sources/material I post on this site since they are Western and Western culture denies the possibilities of the Ancient Egyptians being black. I'll just use material by the radical Afrocentrics who claim every civilization was black if it makes it better.

Breh, do you teach somewhere?

 

[emoney]

Yeah but I read that when Meroe fell that someNilotic people went West across the Niger River basin?

I also think East and West Africa had more interaction than what has been found s far.

That youtube guy you showed me also stresses Cameroon as an important place.

Why would you think that if the evidence has not been found thus far?

No, why?

 

[Bawon Samedi]

Look up the Green Sahara. Many African cultures flourished there. And there were many interactions. And lets not forget lineages West Africans carry such as E1b1a ORIGINATED in East Africa in the first place.

These American Negros like the Ancient Egyptians so much because they were mixed breeds like themselves. I'm starting to realize the fascination with Ancient Egypt has to do with their appearance.

Yet the Ancient Egyptians were not mixed.

Try again.

 

[emoney]

nvm

Yes they did become mixed.

But it really depends on the time period were talking about.

 

[Bawon Samedi]

All that is true but West African culture and traditions being practiced now and today were developed in the region of West Africa where we are currently.

And I'm not dismissing this. But modern day West Africans( and some Africans in general) lived further North like the Sonnike people of Tichitt Walata.

 

[Bawon Samedi]

From what I've seen we're talking about the dynastic period(the more important period) and that period there was hardly any mixing. Heck even during the Roman period there was still a significant number of black Egyptians as described by the Romans themselves.

Are you a Cac? I'm confused as to why it matters if there are dark skin people in Egypt.

Notice how he never said if he was a Cac or not.

 

[GetInTheTruck]

Almost as much a reach as you saying Buddhas kinky hair was a hat @lotty

not the same since we know exactly where the Buddha came from and what people he belonged to. But let's not derail another thread with that stuff.

 

[GetInTheTruck]

Egyptians using mud to cover themselves is not a reach imo. Again like I said certain Egyptian and Nilotics shared many traditions.

To say that's the reason why they are reddish brown in most depictions is. Why can't they just be that color naturally?
