The mummies of the Pharoahs have been around long enough to be studied over and over. The face of Tut, the face of Ramses...they were not Black. Their skin was darkened in the mummification process, but they were not Black.

Not only is athe darkened skin a result of the mummification process, but color was symbolic in Ancient Egypt, as it is in the Christian worl. The “Black Madonna” Icon, is not that of a woman of color, the color is symbolic of her suffering.
