She looks like she belongs in ancient Egypt

[Poitier]

Probably one of the first racially diverse society's

Not at all what he said.

Egypt was a multicultural society that had slaves therefore locals from both SSA and west Asia. Nilosaharans or Nubians only ruled for a short time.(25th dynasty)But o they were important nonetheless in restoring Egypt .

Rome was more multi-cultural than Egypt.

I said I wanted to derail your topic but I have to touch base on this.

1. Do you have proof that Ancient was a multicultural society? How to you define multicultural? If you mean by Ancient Egypt being a mixed society then there is no proof based on that from archaeological evidence. There were no significant West Asian population in Ancient Egypt during the dynastic period. Lower Egypt/the Delta which is near the Near East was said to be SPARSELY populated and highly undeveloped:

It was. Between 7,000 and 4,000 BCE (the beginnings of the dynastic phase) “the northern third of the Delta was reduced to a vast tract of swamp and lagoon."

Butzer continues:

"a considerable body of information can be marshaled to show that the Delta was underdeveloped"

"... Butzer suggests that even in Pharaonic times the Delta was under-populated when compared with Upper Egypt and that settlements were highly dispersed."

So there was no mythical large migration coming into Egypt from the Near East(heck the peninsula of Arabia too was sparsely populated), instead we see populations from Africa migrating and COLONIZING Near Eastern land such as southern Levant! See this thread. There is no proof of Egypt being multicultural. Actually the Egyptians were said to be VERY XENOPHOBIC!!!!

2. I see you have fallen into the Eurocentric myth that there was this mixed/white Egypt vs True Negro Nubia and that the "Nubians" only came later. First of there was never a people called the "Nubians", it was just a recent called term by the Romans to refer to people south of Egypt. Its a general term because there was not unified Nubian people. Heck some "Nubians" were allied with the Egyptians like the Medjay while others weren't. But more importantly many studies continue to state that the Ancient Egyptians and Nubians cluster with each other since the Ancient Egyptians came from the land that was "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.

So what is this black Nubian vs mixed Egypt you speak of?

PS: Ancient Egyptian culture is the result of Nile-Saharan/Nilotic cattle raising culture from the Nile and cultures from the Green Sahara(To an extent).

Egypt was constantly being constantly invaded being at the crossroads of three continents. Macedonians from Europe, Hyksos from Asia, and Numedians from the Upper Nile were all Pharaohs at one time or another. The ancient Egyptians were a polyglot of the peoples migrating back and forth between the continents.

 

[Lewis Black]

Egyptians looked more like Lupita or Ajak Deng than that woman.

for real?

 

[Bawon Samedi]

They "paid" them with food...that's why there were cases of regular citizens abandoning their life of a serf to be a damn builder because Egypt was hemorrhaging their food sources to feed those who were "employed" by king and queen at the time.

Where's the proof if them being "slaves" like you stated. Don't deflate.

So after the 26th dynasty?

Yup.

I also touched on how people eventually volunteered to be slaves, here's an excerpt.

Voluntary servitude
A woman paid a temple to be accepted as a servant [10]:

The female servant ... has said before my master, Saknebtynis, the great god,
'I am your servant, together with my children and my children's children. I shall not be free in your precinct forever and ever. You will protect me; you will keep me safe; you will guard me. You will keep me sound; you will protect me from every demon, and I will pay you 1¼ kita of copper . . . until the completion of 99 years, and I will give it to your priests monthly.' Peter Piccione The Status of Women in Ancient Egyptian Society

How those "paid" slaves were treated in society.

If the slaves were near the bottom of Egyptian society, their lot was rarely as bad as that of slaves in other societies. As servants in a temple or in the household of a rich family it was often better than that of the "free" peasants, the serf-like meret [7] and the sejdemash [8] called up for the unloved corvée [11].
Treating a slave well was a moral precept, but the very fact that decent treatment of slaves was a moral duty means that they must have been treated badly quite often. In the Book of the Dead two of the dead person's virtues recited in order to join the company of the gods among others like not having inflicted pain or not having committed murder are I have not domineered over slaves.
I have not vilified a slave to his master.

Exa

exactly it was a multicultural society. Probably one of the first racially diverse society's

That would actually be Rome. Egypt was XENOPHOBIC. This is what they thought of foreigners like the Asiatics.

Asiatics (whites) are both cowardly and pitiful, leading a marginal existence, constantly fighting but with nothing eversettled. 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.."

from Project Guttenberg full text of: A HISTORY OF EGYPT FROM THE EARLIEST TIMES TO THE PERSIAN CONQUEST
BY JAMES HENRY BREASTED,
II, 760-1, 773. 2 II, 761.

Show us PROOF that Ancient Egypt was a racially diverse society. Again no archaeological/anthropological evidence shows this. All Egyptian remains were said to be primarily tropically adapted like other Africans and the few that were DNA tested were said to be primarily African too.

Heavy strokes
With the wrath of ra
I'd make her walk like an Egyptian
Whether she is or she isn't

Kill the p*ssy
Resurrect it
Kill it again
Resurrect it once more
And so on

Slang dikk like a pharaoh
In this life the next life and forever and evermore*

Yup.

I always thought they looked like somalians/Ethiopians n shyt.

Yup.

Where's your proof that Egyptians where black skinned like my pits nyongo. As I've already said, the Nubians only briefly ruled Egypt. There are plenty of egyptian art depicting copper coloured people

This is where people get confused cuz Nubia today is filled with horner types with thin noses,, but the Nuba people who have ties with ancient Nubians who live in the mountains are dark as fukk ,, Google nuba people
