The Hebrew word for black "Ethiopia," is "Cush," if the Cushites were the brothers of the Egyptians, then how could the Egyptians not have been black? There is no way of getting around that fact. Just visit the Hebrew bible for starters, which is a legit historical document and reference. Let me be clear, I did not come here to debate, I have thoroughly studied ancient Egyptian/African civilization for five years, the anceint Egyptians from a linguistic, archaeological, and cultural standpoint were indisputbly black- this includes physical anthropology as well. I suggest you spend a little more time looking into the ethno-hisotrical research complied on ancient Egypt, and less time trying to play pretend know-it- all on facebook. I am not here to represent Chiek Anta Diop, Antenor Firmin came long before Diop, nevertheless, Diop was not wrong for defending Egypt's black African Identity. Especially considering that you do not seem to know much about Africa in general, your touting opinions unsupported by evidence, and I highly doubt you have ever spent much time researching the ends and outs of the field of anthropology, and just how conclusions are drawn. Shawn Mc Wow! Shawn Mc, I am sorry, but I could not help but notice your breathtaking ignorance.

Chancellor Williams, a Black writer, historian and sociologist, argues that King Tut’s grandmother, Queen Tiye, and all of her children were Black. Even a number of conservative Egyptologists such as Shomarka Keita and Frank Yurco argue that the ancient Egyptians were closely related to the Nilo/Sudanic people like Nubians, sharing substantial genetic admixture.Ĭaucasian Depiction of King Tut and His FamilyĪs stated before, Black scholars have presented a plethora of evidence suggesting a primarily Black Ancient Egypt.
Diop says that Ancient Egypt may have been multiethnic, but that doesn’t mean multiracial. Instead they present a “melting pot” theory to imply that ancient Kemet was multiracial, which still is an argument that seeks to separate the achievements in Ancient Egypt from Black Africa. Ancient Egypt Portrayed as ‘Melting Pot’ Rather Than Black African EmpireĪfter renowned scholars Cheikh Anta Diop and Theophile Obenga presented overwhelming evidence from anthropology, blood groups, iconography, ancient written sources, melanin tests and the significance of the word KMT proving the Africanness of Egypt, many Eurocentric and Arab institutions still find it difficult to accept Egypt as a primarily Black civilization.
