I was in Egypt about 20 years ago and I was talking to a tour guide at one of the museums.
There are a very wide range of physical appearances in Egypt, from easily passing as European to more sub-Saharan African, and everything in between. This dude was pretty dark, curly haired, etc. Pretty much everyone I talked to, anywhere, loved Americans (because we tip well and have money, hah). Multiple times people yelled "Heigh-ho Silver, American!" because apparently that's a popular TV show?
Anyway, this museum dude and I were talking. He mentioned his brother had gone to school in Georgia. I asked him how he liked America. This dude, just casual as fuck, says "Oh, he said it was pretty good, but there were too many blacks."
Despite the casual racism, it kind of warmed my heart. People everywhere, of all classes, races, and colors, are all bigoted against each other. For some reason it was vaguelly reassuring.
If not the first, definitely one of them, and one of the most advanced in terms of its effect on people's perception of world history.
At some point it was decided that the emotional cravings of Black Americans were more important than all historical evidence.
The funniest thing is that Cleopatra was a fucking failure. A degenerate layabout sitting a in palace quite literally sucking Roman cock to live, while her country, an utter shadow of its former self, falls apart around her. 3,300 years of Pharaonic tradition ends with her embarassing reign.
It would honestly look better for Blacks if the whole world though she was a Blonde-Haired, Blue-Eyed nordic, never mind the actual reality of some Greek bitch with a massive hook nose.
I vaguely remember Cleopatra depictions being white up until the late 90s. I wonder if she was the first.
Cleopatra was of the Ptolemaic dynasty, she wasnt African she was Greek, so yeah she was white
Doesn't even matter if you know the genetics of native Egyptians. Anything north of the Sahara was white Mediterranean.
Almost all of Egypt is Sahara. Including Nubian land (and they are black) but really almost all.
