This will make the Ancient Egyptians are black Africans types head explode!!

[MNDude]

Wow!! Relearning everything we we were taught!

[broken_clock]

That’s racist!

Honor Among Thebes: Why the Pharaohs Were Turks, by Anna Tolya

[gov_bean_ counter]

I thought that was “settled science”...

[ClearCase_guy]

Turks are Asian. They are late arrivals to the Middle East (about 1000 years ago).

Maybe an earlier wave settled in Egypt long, long ago, but this strikes me as very odd.

[dangerdoc]

More eurocentric lies.

Since the [muslim] Turks conquered Anatolia millennia after these people lived in Egypt, they were in no way Turkish!!!! Just call them “ancient Anatolians” to be safe.

[nopardons]

Because they have been LIED to, by other imbecilic black morons, who started that whole "THE EGYPTIANS WERE BLACK", ignoring written, ancient texts and history.

"Afrocentrist history" is and always has been, a pack of lies and easily disproved. That whole genre is a gigantic HOAX!

'However in the last 1,500 years Egypt became more genetically African, whereas the ancient Egyptians showed almost no sub-Saharan African ancestry and high affinity to ancient Near Eastern and European populations.'

It looks more and more that the "Ancient Egyptians" were early agriculturalists who migrated to the fertile Nile valley from the Middle East.

Well the Celts were said to have originated or at least once been natives of Galatia in Turkey.

We do know that Ramses the Great had red wavy hair.

I’m far more enlightened than this report.....

They are people of color.....

Anything other than this view makes you a racist and a africanaphobe...../s

[Gamecock]

And last week we heard that humans came from Europe, not Africa.

A lot of cherished paradigms are being rattled.

[Cowboy Bob]

The Egyptians weren't African-Americans?

Well Duh! It was an ADVANCED culture!

[clee1]

File this under DUH

We wuz Kangz!

[Little Bill]

Years ago on a GGG thread I argued an into Africa theory, the ridicule was loud.

If you look at the racial distribution of Africa, in history, it seems that there is an East to West to South distribution of Black People.

Another thing that puzzled me was a statement of Herodotus was that Pygmies were living around Lake Chad.

[Boogieman]

“discovered they shared genes with people from the Mediterranean”

Duh.. Egypt IS on the Mediterranean.

I've seen these statues, found in Tut Ankhamun's tomb, in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. They're slaves, guarding the Pharaoh's treasures, and they're just about the only black faces you'll see in whole museum. Africa's a huge continent and identifying all of it as "Negroid" reflects a kind of Maxine Waters level of ignorant and stupid.
