Interesting article but note it’s almost two years old, and there has been some caution since then about interpreting the results of one burial site too broadly.

It's not caution, it's a kneejerk response. It's remarkably uncontroversial that the population of Egypt was made up of various ethnic groups, a millennia-long ebb and flow, and during the Nubian Dynasty (the 25th) the country was ruled by black Africans, who were ejected by the Semitic Assyrian Empire (itself a polyglot far-flung affair).

I will defer to Arthur Koestler on Egyptian history. He says the Egyptians had a method to show color of skin in their paintings,and they painted themselves as white, although they did not use, or have, evidently, white pain.

If I remember correctly, they used tan for themselves and black for Africans.

And some of the mummies had red hair.

More importantly is the huge number of Slaves traded across Africa during the 1200 years of the study.

Guess some Moslems and NOI moslems (Louie Farrakhan’s ‘crew’) will blame it all on the JOOSZ.

Why not? They blame everything on the Jews. Maybe Rep. Omer and Tlaib will add their scientific knowledge to this debate. Naaah! Why confuse them with facts?
