While the Egyptians themselves may have never been black black African black, the early ruling dynasties were.

But Cleopatra, as a daughter of the Ptolemies, inheritors of Egypt after the Macedonian conquest under Alexander the great; was most certainly not of African descent.

Heimdall black? He was described as “golden”, although that might have just been his teeth and the gilding of his equipment. He was also called “the father of all men” because among his children were slaves, freemen, and nobles. Does that make him African American? LOL!

Did you know that Ramses the Great had red wavy hair? That is not conjecture, it is a known fact.

The Nubians ruled Egypt from 745BC to 650BC...a small sliver of ancient Egyptian timeline

and they were not Negroid black as in North American slave ancestors

they were Kushite type peoples...fairly dark but not Negroid featured...or at least they sure didn't portray themselves that way in their artwork of themselves they had created nor do their descendents look they way today?

Question?

Why don't American Indians try to glom classical history in the same manner?
