Ancient Egypt (and modern Egypt) was in Africa, and there are lots of nomadic peoples there, and in the Sinai, and the Middle East. Up to 40 percent of ancient Egypt were black African, but the percentage varied wildly, and the peak was during this very time (the Trojan War has been misdated, even when it was/is considered fictional it has been misdated), I'll excerpt something in the next post. But the entertainment industry doesn't make documentaries, and this casting was done for anachronistic political reasons. Thanks all.
True...the ancient site that was once Troy, has been misdated and continues to be; mostly due to 2 reasons 1)many things were destroyed when Schliemann was digging and he really didn't dig deep enough 2) there really hasn't been much of a follow through, there, since carbon dating was invented.
We'll NEVER really know what the racial diversity really was in Ancient Eygpt, for different reasons; however, as a place that saw quite a few wars and upheavals, as well as it beginning as two separate and distinct sections, prior to the joining of Upper and Lower Egypt, and peoples coming and going ( some as salves from battles won, others as conquerors, and others as immigrants ),it's just guesswork now.
I HATE THE DAMNED BBC AND IT'S MARXIST PC CRAP!
