According the U. S. Census Bureau, yes, but actual Egyptians disagree.https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/4/1/why-is-there-no-mena-category-on-the-2020-us-census

This is the problem when trying to impose the flawed, limited, way-outdated American White/Colored-standard, as though the world (with its newcomers' to the Union) were in obvious, binary black & white.
The pyramids were built by aliens
The pyramids was built by the kangdoms brother
Great minds think the same way, glad you agreed with my detailed answer
Our bodies adapt over time. Even if they originated as white people, they probably would have evolved to a skin color more suitable for the hot climate. Even if that wasn't the case, their skin would tan, so if they were white, they definitely wouldn't look it.
No... lol
They are kinda dark, but a light dark.
Sounds hot

Egyptians were always Mediterranean.
We have to be specific about eras. If we're talking Moses era, they would have a distinct head shape , but be middle brown. If we're talking Cleopatra, most of the population would be displaced Greeks. They'd look little different from a Greek of that time, complete with Hellenization of architecture taking root.
If we're talking modern Egypt, there's a lot of displacement from middle eastern nations. Egyptians today look like Iranians, Iraqis, Syrians , etc. But are generally better behaved. Tut's mom could've looked like any of those. What is clear, is that Egyptians never looked like Ethiopians. So the "We was kangz" meme that was popular around the time Black Panther hit theaters... was total BS.
The Mediterranean peoples were, and are, Caucasian. They are not "Nordic White", "Germanic White" or "Celtic White", but yes, they are "off-White", for want of a better term. Sure, there are some very swarthy North Africans, the late Anwar Sadat comes to mind, but a lot of Egyptians look like actor Rami Malek.
No. They would be dark, or at least very tan. In Egypt, the climate is generally hot and dry, except for around the northern Mediterranean coast, where it would rain during winter. So that means it was sunny. Being exposed to all this sunlight would tan the skin, especially if they were working outside most of the time.
No, just that there was blonde hair among them. As the Tarim basin mummies have shown, mobility in the ancient world was bigger than previously thought.
Ancient Egyptians were probably colored like modern Mediterranean people are today, with a fair bit of variation.
No... The original Egyptians are somewhere between dark.. Mediterraneans... And middle easterns... They have this unique look that combines all of those.. Probably because Egypt is like literally in the center of the world just look at the map... I think I'm like pure Egyptian I guess if I did a DNA test I would come full Egyptian not Arab or turkish ( my name is turkish lol ) or European mixed.. I asked my parents they told me they don't remember a grandparent from another ethnicity
That shade of blonde doesn't look natural to me. Maybe it was dyed. The ancient Egyptians used a lot of cosmetics and makeup.
Nice take on it
Maybe hair loses its darker colors/pigments over a millennium or two? Or there could've been "intermingling" back then? Or maybe this happened:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/Olg1efSlvLgThere's a theory that the ruling classes were descended from the middle east and so were lighter skined than the common people. This would explain why Egypt was far more advanced than the rest of Africa.
Egypt is in between Africa and the middle east so if there where any ancient Egyptians that were even slightly white it would probably have been due to albinism
No, her hair was stained blonde due to the chemicals used during mummification. She was not blonde prior to death.
No, it just means they had style 😉👍 😂😂😂
The real question is how do they figure out how to bleach their hair 🤔
You and race questions kinda sus, but nah Egyptions usually are brown
No u
You asked a question on baths or showers are you uhhh showercist/bathist or something
Weren't the Baathists removed from power when Saddam was toppled?
The Ancients were probably mostly Caucasian and much lighter skinned than modern day Egyptians. But we don't know for sure.
Ohhmuuhahaha. That's a good one... I think someone will open that can of worms...
I think that Egypt is at a crossroads and it has people with genetic variation from Europe, Asia and Africa
Sorry Christ is not white... nice try though... you'd hate him anyway
Who hurt you
Some were, some weren't. Egypt had a long history with lots of different races passing through it.
Depends on what time of the Egyptians we are talking about like cleopatra was white but the older pharaohs were definitely darker
Yes there were white egyptians. Historian even believe that aphrodite was a white red haired ginger.
