An Egyptian Photo gallery...A picture is worth a thousand words.

Answer 1

You seem surprised that people living on the continent of Africa would be black. What is the big shock?

Answer 2

Gee, could it be that Egypt is in Africa and not Europe? Hmmm.

Yes Ryan you're right. Egyptians were "Blacks" but they have more in common genetically with Africans that they do with Europeans. There is an Asian influence there as well. Not surprising really given the history of the area.

Answer 3

The ancient Egyptian race was Hamitic. Ham son of Noah who inhabited the Africa and other lands. The ancient Egyptians referred to them selves as Rem khemi or Remi Kami. Rem means people or nation and khemi means black. The ancient Egyptians had dark skin some would look Arabian, or Indian and some looked like Ethiopians and some looked like Mediterranean or Berbers. They had many shades of colors usually brown, and it also dependent if they were from lower or upper Egypt. May god bless them.

Answer 4

This is because the Egyptian empire and the Nubian(Kush) civilization became trading partners early on in Egyptian history as early as the first dynasty, please see the link for more information.

Answer 5

why are so many trying to call Egyptians black all of a sudden? when all u have to do is is look at the art that they left behind they were a bronze color or a brass they would have looked Arab as you can see here http://historylink101.net/egypt_1/rf-k-egyptian-wall-painting-1.htm there were other great kingdoms that were black like the Nubian's and the Ethiopian kingdom

Answer 6

but they don't look like black africans because the black african race has very characteristic figure in face bones,lips,coarse hair..very dark brown skin... the artifacts & statues don't show this.. there is difference between nations of north africa(where the ancient egyptians existed) & the southern africa in which the black race predominates.

Answer 7

there seems to be an onslaught of questions regarding ancient egyptian ethnic characteristics. these individuals were not black, though they may have had some ******* gentics in them. they were north african hamitic peoples. the egyptians; in their paintings and artwork, were very careful to distinguish themselves from peoples off black and asiatic descent.
