She looks like she belongs in ancient Egypt

[Poitier]

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

I'm sorry that you have no clue what you are talking about

Egypt displayed on Monday newly discovered tombs more than 4,000 years old and said they belonged to people who worked on the Great Pyramids of Giza, putting the discovery forth as more evidence that slaves did not build the ancient monuments.

The series of modest nine-foot-deep shafts held a dozen skeletons of pyramid builders, perfectly preserved by dry desert sand along with jars that once contained beer and bread meant for the workers' afterlife.

The mud-brick tombs were uncovered last week in the backyard of the Giza pyramids, stretching beyond a burial site first discovered in the 1990s and dating to the 4th Dynasty (2575 B.C. to 2467 B.C.), when the great pyramids were built on the fringes of present-day Cairo.

The ancient Greek historian Herodotus once described the pyramid builders as slaves, creating what Egyptologists say is a myth later propagated by Hollywood films.

Graves of the pyramid builders were first discovered in the area in 1990 when a tourist on horseback stumbled over a wall that later proved to be a tomb. Egypt's archaeology chief Zahi Hawass said that discovery and the latest finds last week show that the workers were paid laborers, rather than the slaves of popular imagination.

Hawass told reporters at the site that the find, first announced on Sunday, sheds more light on the lifestyle and origins of the pyramid builders. Most importantly, he said the workers were not recruited from slaves commonly found across Egypt during pharaonic times.

Hawass said the builders came from poor Egyptian families from the north and the south, and were respected for their work -- so much so that those who died during construction were bestowed the honor of being buried in the tombs near the sacred pyramids of their pharaohs.

Their proximity to the pyramids and the manner of burial in preparation for the afterlife backs this theory, Hawass said.

"No way would they have been buried so honorably if they were slaves," he said.

The tombs contained no gold or valuables, which safeguarded them from tomb-raiders throughout antiquity. The skeletons were found buried in a fetal position -- the head pointing to the West and the feet to the East according to ancient Egyptian beliefs, surrounded by the jars once filled with supplies for afterlife.

The men who built the last remaining wonder of the ancient world ate meat regularly and worked in three months shifts, said Hawass. It took 10,000 workers more than 30 years to build a single pyramid, Hawass said -- a tenth of the work force of 100,000 that Herodotus wrote of after visiting Egypt around 450 B.C.

Hawass said evidence from the site indicates that the approximately 10,000 laborers working on the pyramids ate 21 cattle and 23 sheep sent to them daily from farms.

Though they were not slaves, the pyramid builders led a life of hard labor, said Adel Okasha, supervisor of the excavation. Their skeletons have signs of arthritis, and their lower vertebrae point to a life passed in difficulty, he said.

"Their bones tell us the story of how hard they worked," Okasha said.

If anything most slaves in Egypt were of prisoners of war especially during the Ramses the II period.

Where are these lupita looking Egyptians you speak of

 

[Poitier]

This proves my point.

 

[2stainz]

well where ever she from

 

[Poitier]

And if you wonder why Nubians/Egyptians are depicted as red...they cover themselves in dye even til this day.

 

[Raptor]

This proves my point.

Ramsi was suppressing a Nubian revolt...

Are you going to address this post I made for you?

And also what about this?

But more importantly that painting you posted is a favorite by Eurocentrics because to them its lighter skinned Egyptians attacking Nubians, when if you look closely the Nubians and Ramses have the same color. Anyways its known that the Ancient Egyptians stereotyped Africans south of them in their paintings. This is how Nubians(Kushytes) painted THEMSELVES:

Note how they don't look much different from Egyptian style painting. Yet these people were suppose to be different from the Egyptians.

Ramsi II fighting the Nubians

there was no such group called "nubians" back then.

And you ever thought why is he fighting the chasing the "Nubians" that have the same complexion as him?

No offense but i think you need to click one of those links that @Poitier so you can get school on the phenotypes of AEs because you've clearly been caught by the white supremacists trap.

 

[Poitier]

Also wasn't Ancient Egypt segmented with different rulers at different parts of the Nile (cataracts)? Nubians didn't all come from 1 giant kingdom.

Have white folks stopped claiming Egypt and moors yet?
