  1. I looked at a fair amount Ancient Egyptian art and they seemed to have a variety of features and skin shades. Cleopatra was Greek but if we don't know her mother's heritage it seems hard to be sure what she looked like.

  3. ​ @creoleexplained  How was Egypt never a black territory when people from what is now Sudan ruled it for at least a hundred years? Egypt was ruled by various people. Some of which would be considered black. And others which would be considered mixed.

  4. ​ @kukaracacuka  You are right that Germans were not Aryans. A certain strange moustached man and his kind invented that. Some Germans, (like my father) are R1b so distant relatives of R1a but not Aryans.

  5. How do you know there was zero sub Saharan blood in Cleopatra. You know all of her thousands of ancestors?

  6.  @creoleexplained  People mix. That is what Ancient Egyptian art shows. People can mix and their cultures may only partially mix.

  7.  @1310Gaytan  And they tested the DNA of mummies for all 3000 years of Ancient Egyptian history? I don't think so. I go by their art work. Everyone wants to Egyptians to look like them. I go by how they showed themselves. If they did more through DNA tests I might be interested.

  8.  @1310Gaytan  I agree Ancient Egyptians were their own ethnicity. But that doesn't mean that they weren't mixed.

  9.  @facetofloor  Yes I am aware that people called Black in the USA can be mixed. But we are talking about ancient Egyptians right now.
