They wuz kangs pretty gud. I used to have the David Macauley PBS specials on ancient architecture, those were PFG. I'm gonna see if I can't find em on the tubes... Of course. I'd like to hear your take on this one, Boq.

In all seriousness, Egypt was the result of cattle-herder types mixing with settled agricultural types. The agricultural tech came from the fertile crescent (modern day Iraq, Syria, Turkey, etc)...and the cattle herding was indigenous (to a wetter Sahara). Neither populations would be defined as anything but Brown Middle Eastern.

I meant on the video. For some reason I kind of assumed you didn't buy into the woke black supremacist line. It would make a great Battlefield Earth type scifi.
As to the ancient world and the Middle East, you seem to have some specific skin in this game (so to speak), so I'd be interested to hear what you think of how the ancient Egyptians were portrayed in what I remember from childhood being a very good program.

Egypt was always multiethnic...but got paler if anything over time (Persian, Greeks, Arabs, Turks, European colonization) all ruled it and were lighter skinned than the locals. The Hebrews (and Libyans) were lighter than them. Watching the video rn, but the sponsors did make me lol.

Unicorn productions...is it.

these ppl are my ancestors small wyz....if I get mummified this is how my remains will look. How can you be a natural redhead in the dry desert climate of Egypt. Even Arab bedouins would get sun burn if they went topless (unlike Ancient Egyptians, who never needed robes or turbans etc).

They weren't white but they sure as hell weren't black.

This is just an excuse to recite one of my favorite jokes I read in a book called "6500 Jokes for Any Occasion" at the St Catharines public library to annoy the piss out of my girlfriend, but:

You know, they had wrestling in ancient Egypt, but it wasn't as modern as contemporary wrestling.

Gee, I wonder why no one has thought to put a sample of Ramses II's hair under a microscope to check for naturally occurring pigments?

You of all people should know who shut that down.

They don't want people figuring out how long they've really been running things.
