Why Do People/Hollywood White-Wash Ancient Egyptians?

[Kamal900]

There are Southern Euros also that can look very similar to some Ancient Egyptians, because they were Caucasoid.

Like the rapper "Akhenaton" (100% Italian : Tuscany, Piedmont, Latium and Campania) :






I could entirely see him in an Ancient Egypt movie.

Indeed, but people think that all Europeans look like Scandinavians or something which is absurd. Italians for example are med Europeans who have their own unique culture and racial phenotypes from Scandinavians and so on. It's beyond retarded on how people to these very day think in this infantile way of thinking in black-and-white.

People that think that all Europeans are Scandinavians are generally people from Latin America or Asia, that hadn't seen lot of us.

Europeans have the widest range of pigmentation and phenotypes, amongst a family you can have a very "med" child and then his cousin that look straight up Northern Euro. There are many people that are also in between in terms of pigmentation or average (I'm a good example I would say). Same can be said for non-European caucasoids, of course. But to a lesser degree.



For example I've two close cousins (first degree), one of them can fit easily as palestinian (he's 37.5% calabrian, 12.5% apulian and the rest sicilian) and the other (37.5% calabrian, 12.5% apulian, 25% piedmontese, 25% sicilian) looks like an Irish (green eyes, red hear, very ruddy and freckled skin type).

Pretty sure we only have 3 full genome mummy samples. They show there is significant middle-eastern ancestry particularly east med but also deep middle-east. The only difference is that modern Egyptians today tend to have more SSA.

I honestly can't think of anything I care about less than what Egyptians used to look like

LOL

Quoting Champollion in an era where DNA wasn't even discovered.

We have plenty of "mummies", "samples" and they completely blow up what you've wrote.

Ramesses III belonged to E1b1a which from East Africa.
Tutankhamun's haplogroup is R1b but belongs to the branch located principly in the Chad region which is a found at a rate of 90% and amongst Siwa Berbers which is R1b1a2 which also applies to his father Akhenaten and grandfather Amenhotep III.

Haplogroups are meaningless. The only autosomal results of Ancient Egyptians we have show them to be Caucasians. Siwa Berbers aren't black either.

[Petalpusher]

The other way, they had significantly less SSA than they have today. They were more like Levantines, at least in the local dominating class and the samples we got so far, but surely surrounded by black slaves and some mixes in the lower society.

How are haplogroups meaningless? Siwa Berbers show R1b-V88 at a rate of 22% while in North Cameroon and Northern Nigeria is reaches 100%. Futhermore King Ramesses DNA was found to be similar to Sub Saharan Africans.

Because a haplogroup only represents a very small part of your ancestry. R1b is all ultimately foreign to Africa anyway. It was spread in prehistoric times by Eurasian farmers. Ramses III's autosomal DNA is unknown. The 2012 DNA Tribes study was faulty and couldn't be replicated. The only genuine autosomal results of Egyptians we have are the three late period mummies from the 2017 study and they all score less SSA than modern Egyptians.

[Teutone]

Where did I say that? You are senile Teutone, you always make shit up lol. Egyptians are neither white, or black, there are other things, you know? Maybe you don't.

SSA features dude

Some kemit we wuz kangz shit
