It was if you consider Egyptians black. I dare you to walk up to a random Egyptian in Cairo and tell him he's black. The fact is, Africans north of the Sahara don't consider themselves to be black. They are a Semitic people, with Caucasian bone structure, just like all the people from Iceland to India have Caucasian bone structure.

Most of the world considers black to mean West Africa, Central Africa, and Southern Africa. Horn of African peoples are ethnically quite different from sub-Saharan Africans, typically showing thinner lips, thinner noses, and less kinky hair.

Was Egypt an African civilisation? Absolutely. Was it black? You can convince yourself anything.

IF any negroes built pyramids, it was under the direction of Egyptians. But the records show that the Egyptians never used slave labour for pyramids. The negroes never built anything bigger than a hut . IF the Egyptians were black negroes, why don't their portraits show this?

wait for the brainless excuses!

Why posit such a pointless proposition? Your validation & sense of belief as a black person, shouldn't hinge on whimsicality.

We the Black Nation have a sense of our own worth & are more than capable to hold our ground intellectually.

We unflinchingly challenge any white f*ckwit to infer or state otherwise...

And does it bother you if they were not?

To be fair, there was always a Black presence in Egypt. Blacks did particpate in Egyptian acievement and quite a few Egyptians from the south would be considered Black by Today's standards. Also Egypt was conquered and ruled by Nubians for a period of time who's blackness is indisputable and who also built pyramisd in Nubia.

Have a look;

No one can deny these were built by Black people, regardless of what people consider the Egyptians to have been.

The name for Ancient Egypt in their own language meant "Land of Blacks".. The first pharaohs were most definitely what would considered today to be "black". Invading armies did their best to destroy evidence of this. Many will claim that it was muslim invaders who didn't believe in idol worship, but that's not true. The only statues that were destroyed were those with african features.

The ancient Hebrews probably would be considered "black" in today's society because Egyptians were "black" and if Moses passed for Hebrew then they had similar features.

It bothers me that "white" society often tries to erase the accomplishments of other "races" in order to further perpetuate their white supremacy myth. So yes it does bother me if you were to tell me they were "white"

Gerald Massey, English writer and author of the book, Egypt the Light of the World, wrote, "The dignity is so ancient that the insignia of the Pharaoh evidently belonged to the time when Egyptians wore nothing but the girdle of the Negro."

Sir Richard Francis Burton, a 19th century English explorer, writer and linguist in 1883 wrote to Gerald Massey, "You are quite right about the "AFRICAN" origin of the Egyptians. I have 100 human skulls to prove it."

Scientist, R. T. Prittchett, states in his book The Natural History of Man, "In their complex and many of the complexions and in physical peculiarities the Egyptians were an "AFRICAN" race

Anthropologist, Count Constatin de Volney (1727-1820),spoke about the race of the Egyptians that produced the Pharaohs. He later paid tribute to Herodotus' discovery when he said:

The ancient Egyptians were true Negroes of the same type as all native born Africans. That being so, we can see how their blood mixed for several centuries with that of the Romans and Greeks, must have lost the intensity of it's original color, while retaining none the less the imprint of it's original mold. We can even state as a general principle that the face (referring to The Sphinx) is a kind of monument able, in many cases, to attest to or shed light on historical evidence on the origins of the people."

Punctuation is a wonderful thing. I could have probably completed reading what you wrote if you used it.

I'm talking about the real indigenous blacks Egyptians living down south in Aswan and Luxor numbnuts.You go to the Arabs up north and ask them but never go down south to the country and ask the real black Egpytians do they consider themselves black. How pathetic.

Zahi Hawass has stated that: the portrayal of ancient Egyptian civilisation as black has no element of truth to it".

I don't know anyone who would be in a better position to know.
