Interesting. All the portraits are of people who are recognizably contemporary middle easterners.
The next utube has some statues of Ramses II who ruled 1000 years earlier. He looks like the pillsbury doughboy. ie not middle eastern at all.
The Ptolemies were Greek. I believe the DNA of ancient Egyptians shows less sub-Saharan ancestry than current Egyptians!
I did that video, too. Went back and looked and don’t see anything LIKE the doughboy in Ramsses II. Actually, I wouldn’t have minded dating him back in my college days. Now Ahmose I, I’ll agree with you. I looked for a better statue of him but couldn’t find one. It was pretty common that the pharaoh that followed did in the art of the preceding to keep them from their hopes for eternity. Poor Ahmose must have really ticked off somebody.
I think the Hyksos invasion introduced a lot of foreign blood. They were a Semitic people.
