I am an Egyptian, AMA.

I'm from Egypt too currently living in England, but lived in Dubai most of my life

Wheres your favorite place in Egypt?

Wow- That sounds ethereal!

As per the title.

Aw! Sorry!

who was a better statesman, Nasser or Sadat?

Nasser, eventhough he still did many mistakes, he's orders of magnitude better than sadat

I agree! do you support the Muslim Brotherhood or Al sisi's government? and why?

2011 - late january to early february:
where were you, man?
never forget what happened

when romans first entered europe they were mistakenly called gypsies (which meant: egyptians), the confusion came from their skin colour. It was later found out that romans had indian origins and not egyptians. The conclusion is that ancient egyptians and indians had roughly the same skin colour. Ancient egyptians were not black, although some of the population was, just like nowadays. simply looking at drawing in temples shows you their skin colour. Furthermore, Black people have a slightly different skull to other races, if ancient egyptians were indeed black it would've been found out long ago by the extensive research on mummies.

Hmmm~

Can you walk like an Egyptian?

.-.

The Ancient Egyptians were black people by modern standards of race i.e. if you were to take the last indigenous king of Egypt Nakhthorhebyt (360-342 BCE) from the past, and place him in 1950s Jim Crow America he would be seen as a negro; take him to the present and he would most likely be a supporter of BLM just like Barrack Obama.

"The conclusion is that ancient egyptians and indians had roughly the same skin colour."

You do realise Black people come in various shades of brown right? From your previous posts I’m getting the impression that you think this is not the case, and I find this strange that this sort of stereotyping is coming from an Egyptian. Have you never seen Nigerians or South Africans before in your life? These people come in different shades yet they’re still Black people.

"Black people have a slightly different skull to other races" - this is pseudoscience and Black people don't have different skulls compared to other 'races' and even if that were the case not all black people have the same type of skull nor do they have the same type of brain etc etc. No two brains are the same, just like no two human skulls are the same. Race is simply a form of identity politics/social construct and that is all.

Kemet: Understanding African-centred Egyptology Lecture

The skin tones used in the Ancient Egyptians frescoes are similar to the skin tones exhibited by Black people in and out of Africa. The Ancient Egyptians left behind combs that have parallels with African combs and combs used by Black people in Africa and out of Africa. No other parallels exist. Furthermore, we know mankind originated in Africa near the Nile river + chad basin + great lake region, so the most likely origin/genesis of Ancient Egyptian society is fundamentally African and not West Asian or European in origin.

Hi Bushido Brown, You seem to have misunderstood what I meant so let me clear it out for you. First of all, we have to ask: How far back must you go until you can label the period as ancient? I would agree with you that the earliest settlements in prehistoric egypt would have been mainly consisting of Black africans. However, I would say that this period is pre-ancient. In ancient egyptian civilisation people of all colours existed in Km (what ancient egyptians called their land, its literal translation is "black land" pointing at its incredibly fertile soil), think of it as an ancient version of the USA. An incredibly fertile and strategic land that links two continents and is mediterranean country, what I'm trying to say is it's a golden spot to build a civilisation. Therefore, as early as 3100 BC people from Africa, Asia and Europe moved to this golden spot. The population in Km was a mixture of all races, not only because of all the conquests but also because of the incredible opportunity in such a glorious land. Kings who ruled Egypt ranged from Blacks, to Europeans, to Arabs. Just because a couple of kings were black doesn't mean that the whole population was. The debate about whether ancient egyptians were black or not is huge, historians take stances depending on their current political stand and their bias towards blacks.You're going to find combs with african parallels and ones with european parallels. Such a magnificent land attracted ancient international attention to bring forth one of the most significant civilisations the world has ever seen.
