The living Descendants of the Ancient Egyptians/Legacy

[Akachi]

Ancient Egypt was a multicultural society

lol Yeah distinct and diverse black African cultures and people. Ancient Egypt was a Pan-African civilization which included most of the major groups in Africa.

black african? Xd you make me laugh... The fact is they had BOTH groups. Seems black africans did not make up the majority (in a pure sense) at all though. The majority were a bunch of offwhite looking "caucasoids" and they were not black at all, but not white in a euro sense either. However, even extremely white people were present. Go do your research a lil more. This is a bunch of BS.

Show me what these "Europeans" and "Berbers" looked like, and please explain their roles in ancient Egypt. By the way I already posted Libyan "Berber" Pharaohs of the 22nd Dynasty. Would you like for me to show you what these Libyan Berber Kings looked like? You also do know that the Moors were "Berbers"...Do you reeeally want me to get into that?

Akachi are you Afram? 'Black' and 'white' are ridiculous terms to describe ancient populations and only used for racial propaganda reasons by biased eurocentrists or afrocentrists.

So which one is Oxford?

"Other ancient Egyptian practices show strong similarities to modern African cultures including divine kingship, the use of headrests, body art, circumcision, and male coming-of-age rituals, all suggesting an African substratum or foundation for Egyptian civilization."

"The race and origins of the Ancient Egyptians have been a source of considerable debate. Scholars in the late and early 20th centuries rejected any considerations of the Egyptians as black Africans by defining the Egyptians either as non-African (i.e Near Easterners or Indo-Aryan), or as members of a separate brown (as opposed to a black) race, or as a mixture of lighter-skinned peoples with black Africans. In the later half of the 20th century, Afrocentric scholars have countered this Eurocentric and often racist perspective by characterizing the Egyptians as black and African....."

"Physical anthropologists are increasingly concluding that racial definitions are the culturally defined product of selective perception and should be replaced in biological terms by the study of populations and clines. Consequently, any characterization of race of the ancient Egyptians depend on modern cultural definitions, not on scientific study. Thus, by modern American standards it is reasonable to characterize the Egyptians as 'blacks' while acknowledging the scientific evidence for the physical diversity of Africans."

So which one is Oxford?

Can you read? I said 'black' and 'white' are useless New World terms. They mean nothing and shouldn't be used in a scientific discourse.
