“After all, don’t the race hustlers go on and on about how Egypt was really an “African” kingdom?”

It was, for like 50 years or something when the Nubians took over. This mummy, being from 2000 years ago, would have been of the Ptolemaic line, so basically a Greek.

Actually, I’ve seen this technique used on true crime documentaries, then seen pictures of the actual person. They can get very close to the person’s actual appearance. In some cases, if they have a little hair to go by, they can get the hair color right, and sometimes even eye color.

When police find a skeleton of an unidentified person, the skull is all they have to go by, so some experts quite a while ago developed the technique of reconstructing the face with clay, based on standard measurements of skin thickness at different points on the face and head. they have standards for each race, caucasian, black, oriental, etc.

They use rubber standoffs attached to the artificial skull at certain points, add clay to the level of the original skin, do some artistic shaping of the clay, add eyes, and start painting it.

The end result is incredible, almost always very close to what the person actually looks like, and the nose, lips and ears are usually very close as well. You can look at the reconstruction and then a picture and you’re looking at two views of the same person, with very minor differences.

5) 'Meritamun' (possibly circa 1st century BC) -- Researchers (from multiple faculties) at the University of Melbourne have combined avenues like medical research, forensic science, CT scanning, and Egyptology, to recreate the visage of Meritamun ('beloved of the god Amun'), an Ancient Egyptian noblewoman who lived at least 2,000 years ago. And the interesting part is – the scientists only had access to Meritamun's mummified head, which on analysis alludes to how she met her demise at a young age of 18 to 25.

Well, that’s wrong.

All ancient Egyptians were black.
