Ok!

Interestingly, when trying to find a link about the reddish appearance of most mummies’ hair, I only came across racist websites by nutty black pseudoscientists claiming that all Egyptians were sub-Saharan Africans. Reminded me of the time I worked in Barnes & Noble and told a customer that Cleopatra was Greek.

Phew! The internet really is a sewer.

My Sister and Brother-in-Law both have college degrees and are intelligent.

I was surprised to learn they both thought Cleopatra was Black. I explained that she was a descendant of Ptolemy, one of Alexander’s generals.

They accepted the explanation but two well educated, intelligent people should not be that ignorant. They clearly had been misinformed.
