The specifically state that it is a GUESS based on Coptic which is evolved from Egyptian but that a lot of it was still guesswork because they simply don't know. Years ago my Latin teacher taught us something I've never forgotten which is that just as English has different pronunciations for words depending on which country you are from, which area in that country [people born in Somerset in England - pirate accent - speak totally differently to people from Newcastle, black country, and Yorkshire who are totally different again to people from Glasgow who are different to Swedish speakers of English or Australians. But they all speak ENGLISH, his point being that Latin speakers from Britannia probably spoke different to Latin speakers from Gaul or Rome or Egypt or Greece because local accents affect the way you say words. That's without adding in local slang, slang specific to jobs or professions - criminal slang or medical slang for example - which would all get mixed in depending on who you were talking to and their class [working class often speaking something totally different to the more educated classes both then and now]. And I'm betting the same applied to to Egyptian just like it doe4s to any other country. Even Metatron has spoken about how northern Italians pronounce words differently to how he would say them coming from Sicily. I doubt that has changed over the centuries and people who claim that 3000 or 5000 years ago spoke the same way as we speak now [heck, I'm willing to bet that Egyptians from the times of the pyramids DIDN'T sound the same as Egyptians from the times of the Greeks or Romans, a lot changes in a couple of thousand years] is talking through their hats.

I am Coptic - the original Egyptians most probably with some of the genetic makeup of the ancient Greeks and Romans mixed in. I've had Armenians and Germans in my family line on one side (maternal). Otherwise, all I've known of for many generations is Coptic Egyptians. If you took how I look and maybe tan us a little darker, make our hair a little bit rougher and darker (overall make us slightly more North-African instead of Meditteranean) - I'd assume that's probably what my ancestors looked like before all the European mixing. Wish I could attach a photo here. We were mostly converted from pagan or emperor worship to Christianity by Saint Mark, a first century evangelist whose relative owned the house/building where the Last Supper was believed to occur. We are now a minority in our lands due to several occupations, the chief of which coming from the Arabs. And we still speak, orally, some-to-most (not sure of the exact amount) of the original Coptic language - but it is written and modified with Greek. The script is pretty much entirely Greek. But the sounds, the hymns, the readings I get to witness from my heritage are beautiful.

The native majority of the Ancient Egyptian population were an olive-skinned population that phenotypically looked like modern Egyptians and Middle Easterners, some were lighter-skinned, some were darker-skinned, but not as dark as what Afrocentric African Americans think, overall, they were a Mediterranean population with facial structures similar to Europeans and Middle Easterners, what people refer to as "Caucasian". If you time travelled to Ancient Egypt, the native majority population would not look like Sub-Saharan Africans or West Africans or East Africans or African Americans or Northern Europeans, but rather would look like modern Egyptians and Middle Easterners and even Southern Europeans, in other words, Mediterranean people. Genetically, they were West Eurasians like Europeans and Middle Easterners but had lived in Africa for over 10,000 years and likely would have some Middle Eastern ancestry and even Sub-Saharan African ancestry , though modern Egyptians have more of that DNA due to the Arab slave trade. At some points in the ~3700 year history, there were indeed people living in Egypt that we would call "black people" (Nubian rulers) and "white people" (Greek and Roman rulers), but neither were ever the majority, however they did rule Egypt at some points. But no, the native majority of Ancient Egyptians were not what we would call "black" or "white" and the closest appearance that would fit them would be "Middle Eastern-looking" or "Mediterranean". If I had to give a population percentage, I would say that 85% of Ancient Egyptians were this olive-skinned, Modern Egyptian-like, population, another 5% would be other related populations, such as Semitic groups from the Levant and Berbers from the Maghreb, 5% would be Greco-Romans, and 5% would be Sub-Saharan Africans, mainly Nubians and Cushitic peoples.

[@WickedFelina]

​@@ogun9645Of all the questions he had no answer for, you are inquiring on "skin color only?" The questions I left my answers on History Hit, FID NOT address this at all. I don't care as Egypt has always been a mixed people. To define this fact clearly, look at a map. You will see that Egypt borders the Levant to the East, sits on the Mediterranean where trade was constant with Europe (Ancient Egyptian jewelry was discovered at Stonehenge buried 4,000 years ago) and is bordered in the South by the land of Cush who, admired Egypt so much so that they adopted their gods, culture, jewelry, dress, Pharaonic style of rulership, and a smaller form of pyramid (Isosceles versus the ones at Giza which are Equilateral). My father is part Egyptian. His ancestors were dropped in Canada because they were taken from Egypt, Muslim and not white. If you want to speak of various skin colors and hair color and types in Ancient Egypt see the oldest ancient Egyptian mummy ever found I suggest studying up on "Ginger man". See also the mummies of Tuya and Yuya the parents of Queen Tyie. Queen Tyie still has her hair which is long, brown and loosely curled. See the statues of Ra-Hotep and wife Norfret son of Kufu and the statues of ancient scribes from the early dynasties where eyes were inlaid with crystal. There is a famous one with blue eyes, outlined with green malachite. His skin is orange. Statues as in Kafre's, appearing dark green or black have residue of color in their nostrils. They were always painted. The color was red or orange for men, yellow or pink for women. Brown or Black is also depicted to a lesser degree overall. Ancient Egypt was a mixed culture. Broken pots called "ostracon" a poem to a young man's female lover was discovered in a garbage dump in Der El Medina (the city where the workers for the Valley of the Kings tomb builders lived). On it he described her dropping her dress revealing her white breasts glowing in the moonlight. The explanation for why the men were orange or red while the women were pink or yellow, was because men were predominantly outside therefore tanned. When a woman works outside and tans when she drops her dress as it speaks of above, her breasts do look glowing white. I am not listing specifically the examples of additional skin types as the question is "was there different or mixed skin/hair types found in Egypt?" Yes, there were. See also the genetic study done in 2017, of the oldest graveyard in Egypt. Any other questions aside from skin types I would be happy to answer.

40:35 The public doesn't usually know that the same birth defect and still birth risks a individual assumes with inbreed exists for outbreeding also. Highly distant human genetic backgrounds have a higher risk of not working together and causing birth defects and still births. The first thing academics will say about outbreeding is that it promotes hybrid vigor and is good for species survival. But what they don't mention is the cost of this outbreeding risk to individuals who will have the high risk of still births and birth defects and likely will not survive. There is a "sweet spot" in genetic relatedness for couples, neither too close related nor too far related apart to avoid birth defects and still births.

[@josephstaubin6990]

That comments going to get shadow banned. You can't tell the public truth like that, we need more hybrid vigor for the species.

[@ctrlaltdebug]

I've spoken to farmers and they will constantly breed in a stud that has been proven to have no defects. In fact that is what creates animal breeds because you breed out and cull all the genetic defects until they "breed true." That is an example of extensive inbreeding without significant negative traits.

14:00 in regards to the egyptians being black or white argument When some American company tried to make a show or movie that presented Cleopatra as black , the Egyptian government went on record and blasted them. Similarly however, when people try and say that egyptians were European white, those people get blown out as well, because they are, as you've presented, a mix of the two, and typically are more of a brown or mixed. Actually, its why for in the 20ths century like the 60s-70s-80s-90s etc they were called ''brown people'' Its also where the argument of was Jesus white , brown or black, came up for some silly reason.

[@ItNotOkAnymore]

Yeah but cleopatra is not a good example because she wasn’t even Egyptian to begin with she was a Greek. In fact she was the only person in her entire dynasty that bothered to learn Egyptian. So the fact they even attempted to depict her as black is even more far fetched. Most Egyptians looked like modern Egyptians. Of course there were always outliers like Nubians, Greeks, and Romans.

[@johannesg8959]

Oh you mean the arab muslim egyptian government, people don't understand that egypt is not what it was suppossed to be like before the arabs immigrated, or before the greeks or the romans came. The iconogrophy in the old kingdom shows people with brown skin and black hair coiled hair I say go off of that. Plus Calling everyone black is kind of ignorant, Africa is a very diverse continent, some are light skined with black hairs some are darkskinned with some black hairs, some have straight hair and they are dark... It's litreally different from place to place.

[@discussioncorner]

@@johannesg8959 I agree its largely a variety, but in this case its been spoken about about egypt, I'm not saying North Africa or Africa in general all has the same, but specifically in one country. Calling groups black, is a specific generalization used to give a general idea of the origin of the person, but you're right that it is an issue because for example. Asian can mean many different cultures Black, same thing White same thing. But they are generalizations used to represent a common origin. Another point is that different cultures among these racial groups are also at odds, so to say for example, Japanese and Chinese are the same because they are both asian, while they are historically at odds. Would create conflict because of the history of issues among ''asian cultures'' . I don't disagree but i understand why most people speak in generalities and to poke at that would be functioning in bad faith.

[@jdb0272]

It depends on the era you are speaking of. Remember the Egyptian period ran over 10,000 years. If you want to refer to the period when the pyramids were built they were African as in sub Saharan looking black peoples. Google queen Tiye, King Tuts grandmother. Very simple explanation. If you are referring to the period when they were conquered by the Romans, they looked like the busts of the Romans we are most familiar with. Not complicated at all.

If the workers who built the pyramids were paid, what were they paid with? For it was before the invention of a coinage. It must be therefore that they were paid in food, in bread and beer. When the Nile floods and you can't work in the fields, you do corvée labour and get food and accommodation in return. This is very different from modern wage labour.
