IIRC, Egyptians are considered North Africans and not Arabs. By that it means more closely descended from Bedouin tribes than black African tribes.

---

FWIW, the Egyptians who built the pyramids have practically no connection to the people living in Egypt today.

The Egyptian who built the pyramids were conquered by Libyans who were conquered by Persians who were conquered by Greeks who were conquered by Romans who were conquered by Arabs from the Rashidun Caliphate.

Say what you will about the Arabs, but they've held Egypt for 1400 years.

Also kinda ironic that the original Eyptians built some of the most iconic wonders of the world, but their society was wiped from the face of the earth.

Screw your facts. This is the white man's fault.

Wiped or taken away?

Neither really. Sort of displaced and intermarried among. The Egypt of the Pharoahs didn't have some special all goes down at once like the defeat of the Third Reich or such. It is more accurate to say it withered as one crisis after another gradually wore it down. By the time Alexander's forces arrive and invade, it was a shell of what it was. Alexander's time sets up the famous period of the Ptolemies, culminating in the well known Cleopatra. She and Antony mark the end of that Hellenistic phase, and direct Roman occupation which continues into the Christian Empire period. Its essentially a Mediterranean mixed ruling class over what remains of the old Egypt and its ways. The priests of Isis at Philae were still using the Egyptian script in the 450's AD/CE. It might make most sense if you imagine America being gradually Hispanicized and yet most of the monuments remaining left alone, and undisturbed.(Then some day, someone is able to read English again and just start trying to figure out the story,ha). Key word is gradual -- even though Egypt suffered devastating moments of invasion and can list them, there was no "fell in such decade" kind of moment until under Byzantine rule when falls yes in a year to Islam.


As for the SJW, just another proof of the worthlessness of curriculum compared to available sources.

I don't get how Egyptians get a pass for slavery

Steve Martin's 'King Tut' Sketch Is Racist, Liberal Arts Students Say

Steve Martin's seminal "King Tut" sketch is being blasted as cultural appropriation by a group of students at a prestigious liberal arts college in Oregon after the classic "Saturday Night Live" parody was played in a humanities course.
The sketch, created by Martin in 1978 to parody the hysteria and commercialization surrounding a traveling Tutankhamun exhibit, has outraged students who say the sketch is the cultural equivalent of blackface because one of the side actors emerged from a sarco****us with his face painted gold.
"That's like somebody making a song just littered with the n-word everywhere," a member of the group, ReediesAgainst Racism, told The Atlantic. "The gold face of the saxophone dancer leaving its tomb is an exhibition of blackface."

So are Egyptians people of color? South Africa has white people and they are not people of color just because they live in Africa so are Egyptians in North Africa people of color?

I would argue that anyone who is not Caucasian in origin meaning European or Slavic would be considered POC but I'm not well-studied on the subject. I know there is a difference between Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews genetically, though. Sephardic tend to have darker toned skin.

Ancient Egyptian royalty have more in common genetically with ancient Europeans than modern Egyptians but afrocentrists get pretty bent out of shape if you mention this during one of their Kings and Queens diatribes.

Thanks. Did not know that. So it was okay for Liz to play her, then.

---

She was from a blood line, if I recall correctly, related to Alexander the Great who conquered Egypt on his way back home from kicking ass all the way to India.

She spoke Greek as her first language and certainly had caucasian ancestry.

Cleopatra was descended from Ptolemy, one of Alexander's generals. There's speculation that Ptolemy shared the same father as Alexander (Philip II), but that's not confirmed.

But, yes. Many Pharaohs were white Europeans.

"Pluto" is blue. Makes me wonder if that's Neptune misidentified.

"Idk if im talking out my ass but something about this feels evil. When I die, keep white people away from me"

I'm pretty sure I can answer her first question.

YES YOU'RE TALKING OUT OF YOUR ASS !

I can provide some closure as to her closing statement as well.

OKAY, WE'LL GLADLY STAY AWAY FROM YOUR DUMB ASS WHILE YOU'RE ALIVE TOO !

I've been to Giza. They do not care about social justice.

I heard about a year ago that a bunch of millennials thought it was racist and culturally appropriated, etc.

Too damn stupid to realize that the pharaohs were buried in gold coffins.

Did they think the gold is a natural face color for ancient Egyptians?
