Obviously Black. This is Ahmenhotep III. King Tuts Grandfather

They were Arabic probably

They were Ancient Egyptian.

the concept of race as we know it did not exist at that point.

but they were definitely african. they were definitely dark-skinned. if they were brought forward in time to the contemporary era, they would probably be labeled as black.

Yeah pretty much. Arabs entered the region in large numbers around 600AD. At least 2.5 Thousand years after the Egyptians began their civilization.

When the Arab Muslims came and brought Islam that actually freed many Egyptians from Byzantine rule

lmao

Egyptians themselves were light-skinned but they had neighbors who were dark-skinned that they traded and mingled with a lot.

---

Ancient Egypt was around for millenia. It probably changed drastically depending on what period you refer to

Probably moreso "black" than "white" (if you could even call them either) depending on the time period, but I don't like this idea of claiming groups/people for your race.

black and white aren't the only races

genetic evidence shows Egyptians were middle eastern, just like today. black people lived there too, the ancestors of todays sudan (nubia/kush). some Pharoahs were black. there were no white pharoahs until the final dynasty (ptolemaic), so black people have a longer history in egypt than white people do. but the average Egyptian was neither white nor black

Some people don't think they build them at all.

Their immediate neighbors to the south, the Nubians, were as dark as midnight. The Egyptians had constant contact with these people and were ruled by them at one point. I think the initial inhabitants of the Nile Valley were black.

Due to the fact that ancient Egypt was a powerful kingdom and basically a regional hub in the Mediterranean, the people there became more mixed over time.

Does it really matter? I very much doubt our concept of race was even a thing in ancient times. Often times this is brought up for racist or nationalist purposes (in particular modern day people trying to impose themselves into the past like the whole silly affair between modern day Greeks and Macedonians). I think it's a pretty inane thing to ask.

Yes

lmao.
Either black or what huh? I am surprised you did not put Irish, Italian, German, Mexican and African-American as choices.

They were of a race that existed in that region, they looked sort of like persians or arabic people maybe, with some having darker skin than that too. No Chris Pine or Lebron James looking egiptians, sorry.

There are no historical details too small to consider tbh.

There has been DNA evidence that ancient Egyptians didnt look much different from modern Egyptians. Also Im Coptic and pale af, most of my family is, though that could be from European conquests. Ancient Egyptians were a middle eastern/Mediterranean race like Persian or Lebanese.

it's pretty obvious that they were middle eastern like I was trying to say. here's a pic to show you what i mean. if you can read the graph, it's showing that ancient egyptians genetically cluster closely to today's middle eastern people groups

Im irish going by a dna report and immagration records got all them sterotypical black person facial features but a German ass last name same with my dad. My dad looks medditainain and when I tan people think Im mexican.

I dont really thing the science is all that important, or really even all that accurate. People are people that all that matters.

Most of those Mummies were taken from around the Fayum area in North Egypt during the New Kingdom and even the Roman eras where there was a lot of contact with outside peoples, and its also from a small period of time late in Egypts history as well. It's not reflective of the entire civilization.

Also there are still plenty of Indigenous Blacks still in Egypt today north and south. Studies like this tend to write them out of history because the sample size of those tested is so limited



Siwa Oasis people for example.

When you take DNA evidence from wider samples it shows that the Pharoahs of the 18th dynasty were of the E1B1A haplogroup which is a Native African Haplogroup.

There's Middle Eastern types and Black Types who are both native to the area. The people who started the civilization though explain themselves that their ancestral homeland is by the Foot of the Nile under the Mountain of The Moon where the God Hapi dwells. That location is by modern day Uganda towards the South in Africa. This is written on the Hunefer Papyrus near the Valley of Kings. Archaeoligical Evidence also shows Egypt's first inhabitants came from the South/Upper Egypt.
