Just so you negroes know, in school, Ancient Egypt isn't taught as Euro. It is pictured as Middle Eastern. As a college student, and remembering back to high school history, Ancient Egypt was never portrayed as, "European". It really wasn't. I always saw it as Arabic not African, Asian, or European.

Thank you.

He certainly wasn't Sub Saharan. I can't lie, East Africans tend to be more intelligent than sub saharan negroes which make up a lot of African Americans :)

Ancient history taught to Europeans is usually Greek, Roman or Celt - the Egyptians have very little exposure to Europeans, they have little interest in what they see as an 'Arab' or middle-eastern civilization. Sure they visit as tourists but they also do that with Ancor Wat and the Taj Mahal - they are not European either!!

The only non-Egyptian people interested in ancient Egypt to an obsession are the US negroes - because they have no history of their own!!

Ancient Egyptians and arabs are TWO different people.
They were no arabs in egypt before the 7th century.

Why do people STILL think the Egyptians were Arabs?

Arab = A.D.

Egypt = B.C.

And exactly what east African non-Sub Saharan Negroes are you referring to there? Consult an atlas before you respond so as to prevent looking even stupider than you already do.

He's a Sudanese soldier rehearsing for the independence day celebration of South Sudan. It was a momentous occasion.

The majority of people in non-Arabian Peninsula “Arab” countries are not in fact Arabs. It's not only Egypt.

Irish are what? They are Celts, as it is today a language and cultural group. The Irish being at the western end of the migration route of the incoming Indoeuropeans, who in that region were Celtic, received immigrants who were already mostly of indigenous European (I) ancestry, but Celticized linguistically and culturally.

Hopefully you are not going to start on the notion that Greece was a copy of Egypt. Greece's cultural antecedents were in the prior European civilizations of Minoa, Vinca, etc. Influence from Phoenicia and Egypt was secondary.

Daily Horoscope for May 23

Virgo

You have a very high opinion of a certain person today, believing that they can do no wrong. But how realistic are you being? It looks as though you're viewing the world through rose-colored glasses, which is fine if it's only a temporary state but quite another matter if you're deliberately ignoring problems and pretending that they don't exist.
