Egyptian authorities are no fans of european museums anyway, given how much of their egyptian artifacts collections were basically stolen. But beyond that they have special antagonism to the intellectually corrupt Afrocentric ideology.
Nope, there are many colored illustrations. All, included slaves are light brown.
Except for Northern invaders (like Israelites), who are painted white and few imported African slaves.
Moreover, there are many descendants of Egyptians still living. The Copts are 100% descendants of ancient Egyptians, including using modern version of ancient Egyptian language, and even the Arabs are likely mostly descendants of ancient Egyptians.
In Exodus it says that the Egyptian princess was bathing in the Nile River when she saw baby Moses. This suggests that the Egyptians weren’t scared of deep water.
Maybe.
"Some people" just want Cleopatra to be herself - Greek.
I am nauseated by the continual parade of IGNORANT people full of hate. Especially the formally educated IGNORANT ones like my BIL and his half wit commie school teacher wife. You can't get much more ignorant than a Jew who supports anti Semites.
What about Foxxy Cleopatra in Goldmember? Definitely black.
Greek? I thought she was Macedonian.
I wasn’t aware of the illustrations. The Arabs I had thought were migrants from Mecca post 600 AD.
The “Egyptians are black” are purposefully misinterpeting how the Egyptians see themselves—people of the black land not land of the black people.
"History tells us that Cleopatra was not Egyptian as many Egyptians have been claiming on social media. Cleopatra was Macedonian Greek, (no not that little Slavic Vardaska country that is now being called North Macedonia outside of Greece). Cleopatra was from Macedonia, in Northern Greece, and part of the Ptolemaic Dynasty of Ptolemy I Soter, one of the generals of Alexander The Great."

When I look at the ancient bust of King Tut (see accompanying image) - I see African features. One of the objections to the Dutch exhibition is from Egyptians offended at Nas/Tut being made to look like a contemporary black rapper.

I’ve noticed they be dissin on the Egyptians lately. First Cleopatra and now this.
Pharaoh destroying his enemies, Nubians and Asiatics.
Pharaoh appears to be the same color as the Asiatics but definitely not as black as the Nubians with their sloped foreheads, big noses and big lips.

He hates these cans!
So many iconic lines in one movie...
It appears as though the Africans have jumped the shark. They want to paint everything and everyone black. Sickos think they’re Mick Jagger.
Thanks nickcarraway.
They were too busy flying all around the Pyramids. - Louis Farrakhan.............
Seems to me that Cleo was a Greek slave and who knows what the origins of Egyptians were? It seems that Egypt, being one of the most advanced civilizations at that time, would have been a melting pot for ethnicities. As such, they could have been black, white, oriental or anything in between.
And why get your knickers in twist over someone else’s idea. It’s just an IDEA. *sheesh*
Thanks for the history rush!
‘Face

The slanted eyes in his (and other Pharoh) statues look somewhat oriental, to me. So does a lot of their art, with the vibrant and stark colors.
