Were they white at all points in history though?

[@AlyxFree]

@@superjam18 YES!!! The further back in time you go the blacker it gets. This is ANCIENT Egypt it was as black as they come. After the invasion of the Romans, Greeks, Arabs and Ottomans did it get lighter in skintone which gives you the people you see today. The only reason it is a debate today is because of white supremacists of Britain living in the 1800s, that thought they were they were the supreme race. But when they rediscovered Egypt the could not handle that a black nation had civilization much earlier than they did. So they began white washing history and implementing whites in Egypts history and disassociating the Middle East from Africa. The Middle East is a term invented in the beginning of the 1900s before that it was north east Africa.

Make balanced citations, include what Dr Cheik Anta Diop who did alot of extensive and intensive research on the skin color of ancient Egyptians ,you are presenting one sided view , internet whitened pictures of the original paintings,to advance certain narrative.

[@12Tribes7Churches]

According to the Bible the ancient Egyptians were descended from Ham through the line of Mizraim. Ham had four sons: Cush, Mizraim, Phut, and Canaan (Genesis 10:6). The name 'Mizraim' is the original name given for Egypt in the Hebrew Old Testament.

[@shainazion4073]

And the only son of Ham that was Negroid was Cush. Through archeology and science we see the children of Ham and what they looked like. ▪︎ *Mitzraim/Egyptians* - shown in the Book of Gates as Red skinned people with sharp features. DNA studies have shown the ancient Egyptians were closer to Levantines and Europeans than to Sub-Saharan Africans. ▪︎ *Phut/Libyans* - Shown in the Book of Gates as White skinned Berber/Amazigh people with sharp features and straight hair. The DNA of the Berber/Amazigh people show them to be over 8,000 years old, and not Negroid. ▪︎ *Cush/Ethiopians* - The Book of Gates shows the Cushites to be dark skinned with Negroid features. The DNA of ancient Nubians/Ethiopians show black skinned people, the archeology shows Negroid skulls and features. ▪︎ *Canaan* - The Canaanites have been genetically sequenced and they were not Negroid. The Lebanese are their direct descendants with 93% of their DNA. The Lebanese were never Negroid. ▪︎ *Philistines* - The Philistines are said to be a son of Canaan. The Philistines have been genetically sequenced and they were not Negroid. They were a Sea Peoples from Crete, Greece with *Olive Mediterranean skin and features. Class III or IV on the Fitzpatrick skin scale, not Negroes.

[@shainazion4073]

Mitzraim is a plural noun in Hebrew. It is apparent that theyunderstood that Egypt was more than one area. The Egyptians of Lower Egypt were who the Israelites dealt with, they were closest to Levantines and Europeans. The Egyptians in Upper Egypt were the Nubians. The Nubians were Negroes.

[@johnnyc2680]

The genealogy when it comes to Ham’s line seems to be topical. Egypt and Canaan were enemies of Israel at various points in the Bible. Egyptians were different from Canaanites in custom, style, and dress. Asiatics migrated into Egypt throughout the centuries and some intermarried with Egyptians. A small group of Asiatic elites known as the Hyksos took over the Delta region (Lower Egypt) until Ahmose drove them out ushering in the New Kingdom period. They were not Egyptian, so why would the writer of Genesis group Egypt and Canaan together when they were not the same peoples. It’s possible proximity played a factor as Put (Libya), Cush (Sudan), Egypt, and Canaan were all near each other. Genealogies in the Bible told stories to make a point about something, and I think that’s what is happening here.

The Elamites, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Lyddians, Arameans. *They were not black or from Africa.* In the line of Shem, Kaiman married *a daughter of Japeth,* they had a son, Shelah. Shelah had a son, Eber, who was the first Hebrew. *None of them were Black people. The Shemites/Semites are not Black people, and never were.* The Hebrews are the descendants of Eber, the Israelites, the Ishmaelites, the Edomites, the Moabites, the Ammonites, the Midionites, the Idumeans, the Kedarites etc. *None of them black people.* Abraham was an Aramean. The Arameans are alive today, *they are White Christians.* Abraham married his half-sister, Sarah. Sarah is described in scripture as *_"white and lovely" with "white full breasts and white shapely thighs"_* Abraham and Sarah had a son, Isaac. He was a full Aramean. Isaac married his cousin, Rebecca. Rebecca is the sister of *Laban (white man).* Isaac and Rebecca had a son, Jacob. Jacob married 2 sets of sisters, Leah, Rachel and Zilpah and Bilhah, both sets daughters of *Laban (white man).* They were all Arameans. *_The 12 sons of Jacob became the 12 tribes of Israel. None of them were Black men. You can't prove this wrong. The Black Africans are not Israelites, there is not one piece of evidence for this falsehood._*

Similar to major cities like NYC: Ancient Egypt had several different skin tones among their people. Because, " skin color prejudice " wasn't as rampant as it is today; such different skin tones could be seen from the richest and most powerful all the way down to the poorest and humblest of the land.

[@swiftharris1]

Egyptians are of the sons of ham, according to the Bible dictionary, ham is the progenitor of the dark races, how do you explain that sir

[@studiometaart1974]

1. The Egyptians originated from Upper Egypt which is Northern Sudan. The first people to reach Egypt were black Africans similar in appearance to the Nubians. This is supported by the current out of Africa model. 2. The Egyptians were always described as Ethiopians “burnt faced” by eye witnesses from the ancient world. 3. The Egyptians interacted with and intermarried with Nubians more than any other subgroup up until the Fall of Egypt during the 25th dynasty (written in the book of Isiah). 4. Ancient Egyptians spoke a language similar to Somalian language spoken in Sub Sahara. 5. The Egyptians are Hamitic not Semitic. They are the close cousins of the Jews (the Hebrew). They are not of the lines of Shem -> “Semitic”. 6. That chart of races used in this video is a recreation, the original shows very little distinction between Nubians and Egyptians. 7. Cush means black in Hebrew it’s a reference to the ancient kingdom of Kush which the Nubians were part of. Notice that the Bible mentions that Egypt is the (younger) brother of Cush. So Egypt is based off of Kush or Nubia not the other way around. 8. Just because there’s diversity doesn’t mean there isn’t a founding population that made up a majority. Ex: The US is extremely diverse yet is 63% white. Egypt was diverse but the majority of its population were historically native Africans (black people) 9. Egypt wasn’t homogeneous. It was initially made up of multiple different tribes of AFRICAN natives. So they were dark compared to Europeans and Arabs but they were not all one color. Ex: Blacks in America are not all one color 10. Blacks diversify very easily into different skin tones especially with admixture. You can be very light brown and still be a black person. 11. Modern humans (Negros) from Africa have been taking light skin women as concubines since the presence of Neanderthals who are white skin. Those aren’t woman inside that’s a white woman who was brought into Africa to marry a powerful/ wealthy African man. This race mixing is why white people exist today and also explains why Egyptians started to not look so much like Nubians who (according to the Bible) they descend from. Please correct me if I’m off on my points.

[@noflyzone2307]

I think you're co fusing the timeline. I'll try my best to answer what I know. 1) Out of Africa theory is BS. I'm pretty that has been debunked. There are no traces of Neanderthals or Denisovans in Africa so that that answers #11 with the whole "concubine since the presence of Neanderthals" statement you made. It's a fact almost everyone can find those 2 common ancestors in their DNA except sub saharan africans. You should check out the origin of human by David Reich. 2) egyptian being described as burnt faces by ancient egyptians, was a statement made by Du Bois a Pan Africanist who was speaking about the nubians during the 25th dynasty which was before the Ptolemaic dynasty. 3) Don't really have nothing on that. don't know much about that situation, but Aegyptos or "egypt" derives from the greeks language. So I wonder which era of egyptian that nubians are marrying bc ancient Greek almost never intermarried. 4) Again I think you maybe getting confused with the timeline, greeks kept it pretty traditional when It come that. 5)Again which egyptian dynasty are being spoken of? 6) Again I think your confusing timelines and just stuck in the 25th dynasty and the dynasty before. After the fall of the Nubians came the persians, saiti, Macedonian, Greek, Rome...etc so basically the black africans were pushed south and it pretty much just been Mediterranean people. 7) from my understanding egypt and kushite were 2 different states near eachother. So maybe that's what it means when the bible (which shouldn't have any place in this debate) states about the 2 being brothers. Sounds legit to me. Like USA and Mexico, there's bad blood between the 2 but reality is they're like 2 sibling that they didn't ask for. 8) What you say is true, but 90% of Native Americans died from diseases that was brought by the white man, so it's kind of a special case. Also just bc it's Africa, that doesn't mean everyone was black. Maybe it was or maybe it wasnt 9) I'm pretty sure you're stuck on before the fall of the Nubians. You make it sound like they Nubians were defeated and just hung around. Nobody is denying that black people ruled over Kemet at one point in time, but egyptians were not black. Modern Egyptians are really the descendants of ancient egyptians and DNA proves that to be a scientific fact.

From EGYPTIAN, Egyptologist/anthropologist Ferik Hussan.... "Egypt is situated where African cultural developments conjoin, mingle, and blend with those of neighboring cultures of southwest Asia and the Mediterranean. Yet, Egyptology, through its Eurocentered perspectives, has generally been lax in exploring and valorizing Egypt’s African origins. This not only leads to theoretical shortcomings but also to serious ethical ramifications undermining efforts for a new world of justice, equity, and fraternity. Keeping with the way our world is changing and given our role as socially responsible scholars, Egyptologists need to engage in emphasizing the grounding of Egypt in African cultures and its interaction throughout its history with African cultures. This would be a first step in reconsidering the sociopolitical biases that not only isolate modern Egypt from its ancient past, but also reorient Egyptology to deal with intercultural dynamics and to become actively engaged in the current struggle to combat racism and inequities, a key component of the Sustainable Development Goals."

[@efef6853]

If you are a Bible believer you would know that in Genesis 10 we are told that the Egyptians are descendants of Mizraim the son of Ham... Genesis 10:6 "6 And the sons of HAM; CUSH, and MIZRAIM, and Phut, and Canaan." Ham had four sons, two of those four sons were Cush (Nubia) and Mizraim (Egypt). There is no dispute to how the skin of the Nubians looks like, so if we know for certain how the Nubians looked like and the Nubians are cousins to the Egyptians, Nubians and Egyptians both being descendants of Cush and Mizraim, who are both brothers, how can anyone seriously argue that the Egyptians did not look like their cousins the Nubians. Ancient Egyptians were not caucasians or arabs. The ancient Egyptians did not come from japeth or shem. So why are people, especially those who claim to believe the Bible, arguing that ancient Egyptians were not melanated Africans.

Nope. They looked closer to Greeks and middle easterners. North Africa is pretty far above the equator. They are darker skinned of course, but not the same kind of "Black" as those around central Africa, Jamaica, North America, and a good bit of South America.

When you talk about Moses marrying a Kushite woman, It seems like making the assumption that Moses was white. Moses was raised in Egypt. The sons of Ham were Punt, Kush, Egypt and Cannan. Genesis 10:6. Moses could not have been white.

[@mastermiller2944]

What kind of backwards logic is that? His lineage is not tied to his wife. Moses is a descendant of Abraham. The Israelites moved into Egypt. You do not magically swap your entire linage just because you were raised in a different nation/state.

[@LASTCALL77]

Egypt was founded by Nubians according to their own history then immigrants from Greece and other places came and mixed in. If race truly doesn’t matter why do Christians fight so hard to not say these and those are black. Race is the biggest problem Facing black people around the world, they have marked us for discrimination no matter where we go and you say race don’t matter? It shouldn’t matter but unfortunately it does because it’s causing us so much oppression

[@ultramarinechaplain88]

The only oppression you get is from your own brothers in africa who sold you into slavery. No the whites arent oppresing you, your own black people are.

[@sistertruth3520]

If Egypt is a son of Ham, He is black. The reason white people claim Egypt as theirs is because it has value. Everything of value eventually turns white, and Dr. Brown is playing right into it. I respect Dr. Brown most of the time, but not this time. Dr. Brown and many other Jews would say this was anti-Semitic if the tables were turned. Whites and Arabs colonized Egypt, causing it to become lighter and lighter. I'm a spirit filled American black woman with lighter skin, and it sickens me that even in the so-called Christian world, it's acceptable to be anti black. I'm so sick of this. You don't have to have the completion of Wesley Snipes and Whoopi Goldberg to be black 🙄😤😡

That's false. Ur a joke u can't debunk anything he showed. Women were depicted fair skin in ancient egypt and men reddish tan. The mummies have caucasoid skulls and straight hair.

I wish people like this gentleman would spend more time studying this long history before coming to a very lazy conclusion. Sure the civilization became a very cosmopolitan place, but not in the foundational period. Its important, as this was a Nioletic/Saharan creation , & that should be discussed & taught as such . This cat just looked at some different colored folks & came to this decision about a civilization that lasted 3, 4 thousands years . That's like saying the U.S was always this multi ethnic society, when there was clearly an indigenous population. But in this case they actually created the civilization that many others are saying was this joint effort when it absolutely was not. There also is a clear double standard at play. We know that there were many Africans & others in Greek & Roman civilizations , yet there is never the temptation to call it a " multi ethnic civilization ". It's known as a European/White creation. So , this Africsn civilization should be described as what it was, a black African civilization that slowly, over time & invasion , became a more Mediterranean one. But not after about 2500 years of it not being. It was a Nioletic African civilization. This was a conclusion that came from just skimming the history. Very lazy & shoddy wotk.

[@niagenerational5249]

Yes, they were black. Was the United States of America Indigenous American before every one else started coming over here.

The best place to see if the Egyptians were "Black". The Egyptians that dealt with Israel were in Lower Egypt. Lower Egypt was only Nubian in the 25th Dynasty. The Egyptians showed themselves as very different than the Negroid Nubians. The Egyptians in their Book of Gates shows the 4 races they knew of; *Egyptians* - Red skinned people with sharp features. *Libyans* - White skinned Berber/Amazigh people. *Cushites* - Dark skinned Ethiopian/Nubian people. *Syrians/Israelites* - Sallow skinned people with sharp features and straight hair, with fringes on their clothes as the Torah demands. The Egyptians called the Israelites as honey-colored in their papyrus. The color of the Egyptians show themselves as black, blue, green, depending on their ideology. The first picture of the Egyptian man shown as Black, not brown was not his skin color, but his status.

It's interesting to see how all of these people that are trying to blackwash Egypt, borrow from the Egyptian scholars the pieces of information they want in order to support their own claim. They, not being scholars themselves, know more than what the scholars have said by using the scholars very own words. Again picking and choosing. Where is the logic? And not only that, once someone writes a book they must be an authority. You can't just go by an authors writings you must look up their credentials.

Nowhere in the Torah are the Israelites black, in fact the only description if the Hebrews or Israelites skin color is White. Noah, King Solomon, and Abraham's Sarah are all described as White! So if the Egyptians looked like Israelites they were White!
