You can't think about ancient history all the time. Aren't you buying a new computer?

I think the similarity between the languages of Ethiopia and Israel is an interesting and relevant factor. The original races of the African Red Sea area were more like those of Israel and Arabia than they were like those of Sudan or the Lake Victoria area.

This is unusual - a Daily Mail headline that doesn’t have to be abridged in order to fit into the thread title field. :)

More bull crap from the lefties and black racists.

The population of northern Africa - Barbers and Egyptians -was originally Caucasoid. They more resembled southern Italians, Lebanese, modern GreeKS and other Mediterranean Caucasoids.

Egypt bordered Kush on the south, a black African kingdom which shared many cultural elements with the Egyptians. There was an interchange of some genetic material through slavery and recruitment of mercenaries, particularly archers for which Kush was well known.

Later, at the end of the New Kindom - AFTER Moses, there was at least one Kushite Egyptan dynasty which expelled invaders from Asia which has seized Egpyt.

AFTER the Ancient Egyptian civilization collapsed, with the spread of Islam over northern Africa, and Islam’s pernicious culture of slavery, particularly sexual slavery, more black African blood was introduced into the populations of northern Africa.

Any fool who has viewed mummies and Ancient Egyptian paintings is well aware of their Caucasoid nature. Men were always depicted with RED skin indicating sun tans, women were depicted light yellow AND KS ITS WERE CLEARLY DEPICTED WITH BLACK SKIN.

I am really weary of the black racist Black Athena type morons trying to present a distored picture of historical accuracy.

Ethiopia, Kush and subsaharan Africa had its own rich culture and civilization. There is no need to coopt other peoples.

Who is to say what Egyptians looked like 5,000 years ago?

***
There are quite a few extant depictions of them, right?

Definitely going to see this. Maybe take the entire family. It’s ENTERTAINMENT, after all, not a textbook or legal brief.

LET’S all sing along:

A clown with his pants falling down
Or the dance that’s a dream of romance
Or the scene where the villain is mean.
That’s entertainment!

The lights on the lady in tights
Or he bride with the guy by her side
Or the ball where she gives it her all.
That’s entertainment!

The plot can be hot, simply teeming with sex
A gay divorcee who is after her ex
It could be Oedipus Rex
Where a chap kills his father and causes lots of bother.

The clerk who is thrown out of work
By the boss who is thrown for a loss
By the skirt who is doing him dirt
The world is a stage; the stage is a world of entertainment!

It might be a fight like you see on the screen
A swain getting slain for the love of a queen
Some great Shakespearean scene
Where a ghost and a prince meet, and everyone ends in mincemeat.

The guy who was waving the flag
That began with the mystical hand
Hip hooray! The American way
The world is a stage; the stage is a world of entertainment!
