Were the ancient Egyptians white or black?

Ancient Egypt is a place where many nationalities live together, and there are blacks from the south, that is, blacks; There are Caucasians and Mediterranean people from western Asia and the Mediterranean, and their skin color is relatively white.

This is a mural painted by the ancient Egyptians to distinguish other races.

This picture is from left to right: Libyans, Nubians, Syrians in West Asia and the ancient Egyptians themselves.

From this mural, we can see that ancient Egyptians are obviously different from dark whites and Nubian blacks. According to records, the ancient Egyptians were neither tall nor short and had no beard (only the chin had a beard). According to the murals, the skin color of men is brownish red, while women are painted yellow.

Dr Tahi Hawass, former secretary of the Supreme Council of Egyptian Antiquities, once said that "the ancient Egyptians were neither African blacks nor Arabs", and the race of the ancient Egyptians is still inconclusive internationally.

Extended data:

The inhabitants of ancient Egypt were made up of aborigines in North Africa and Sem people in West Asia. The ancient Egyptians have integrated into the peoples of North Africa and West Asia. Just like the Shang people in Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the Zhou people can't be found now.

Until the first 343 years, * * * experienced the rule of 365,438+0 dynasties in nine periods: the former dynasty, the early dynasty, the ancient kingdom, the first China-Korea, the second China-Korea, the new kingdom, the third China-Korea and the later dynasty.
