Come on. It is more European fantasy lies. They are hypocrites and they know it. But just to see how that works, let someone put on a science fiction movie called "Gods of Greece" with a bunch of black folks and see what happens. Even though most actual Greek mythology features Africans AKA "Ethiops" quite notably. But of course that won't stop Euroclowns from complaining of blacks "stealing" Greek history.

But let someone claim that they are "stealing Egyptian history" and they will say they are just making sci fi and it is not 'real' history.... Yeah right.

But within the world of art and even games there are folks who know the truth and arent scared to tell it....

You should laugh,

You have to understand that these movies are being made to counter the truth that everyone already has learned because of the internet.....

too late for the fake Ahkenazi Albino Jews....

The first big budget Egypt movie with real black people in it will be a mega hit...people want to see the truth..this one will flop like the last one oncw the word gets out.

Consigned, as if the film maker David Von Ancken couldn't find someone proper and more believable for the role play. I wonder what his relation is to black people.

They aren't mad. They are just desperate and determined to convince everyone that the closest people to ancient Egypt are European people. But at the same time say that the Egyptians were "native Africans". You cant have it both ways. Either they were native Africans or they were not. But they are simply liars and frauds and they basically control the movie industry and can do what they want. Which is the real point. They just want everyone to know they have the power to make history in their own image no matter how false and fake it is.

And the fact that these movies and tv shows are being made for audiences and populations primarily NOT in Egypt just proves that these people have no interest in any actual connection to Egypt. They just want to put themselves in history even though they don't belong there. You cannot even point to an Egyptian movie featuring Egyptians..... As if to say Europeans are closer to ancient Egyptians than even modern Egyptians. Now isn't that absurd. Meaning they don't feel those 'arabs' are close enough to what they think a pure ancient Egyptian looked like. Even though they constantly talk about how North Africans are close to Europeans, they must not be close enough.

By mad I meant in frustration, not angry.


And what they are actually claiming is that they back migrated into Africa, all over Africa, then moved back up to create all these cilivilazations. Including Napta Playa, Kerma, Naqada etc... And if they have to go back tens-of-thousands of years in order to do so, they will.

Don't blame it all on the albino.

Negroes should be accountable for the majority of these white-washed presentations.

Looky here. Even when a Negro is the head-Nigga-In-Charge (HNIC), the the Nigga will make the decision to have full albino inlusion.

Here's the cast for Negro TV's (SpikeTV) upcoming movie, TUT.

Here's Spike TV's HNIC, Sharon Levy (Levy??), Executive Vice President, Original Series, Spike TV.

 -

Here's the cast.
Note the female cast have to be light skinned Mulattoes and the HNIC had an overwhelming compulsion to include albinos in key roles.

 -
Spike TV has cast 22-year-old Avan Jogia as the Egyptian boy-king in its upcoming event series “Tut,” which will premiere next year.

 -
Nonso Anozie will play the savvy military, yet power hungry, strategist General Horemheb.

 -
Sibylla Deen plays Ankhe, the calculating and conniving sister-wife of King Tutankhamun. Deen is an up-and-coming Australian actress;

 -
Kylie Bunbury portrays Suhad, the beautiful and endearing girl of Mitanni descent who develops a strong bond with the young Egyptian king, despite the fact she is not of royal bloodlines.

 -
Alexander Siddig is a highly accomplished stage and screen actor who plays High Priest Amun, a major political figure who holds great influence in King Tutankhamun's inner sanctum.

 -
Peter Gadiot plays Ka, King Tutankhamun's close confidant and seemingly loyal friend from childhood who harbors a secret love for Ankhe, Tut's wife.

 -
Iddo Goldberg plays Lagus, an Egyptian soldier who develops a special bond with King Tutankhamun.

SpikeTV is SUPPOSED to be a new and upcoming "Black" network. Yet, the blacks in this upcoming TV movie are far and in between.
I'm sure the HNIC will tell you the casting direction was a "business" decision.

Which makes them look even worse. They got a black woman playing the Mitanni woman who wants to marry Tut and tut is white. They are so completely contradictory in their nonsense it is ridiculous.

The main point being they are the ones who have gone around the planet stealing history from all over the world so they can put themselves into it. It isn't just about claiming back migrations to Africa as the basis for Europeans creating African civilizations. They do this all over the planet and try to convince everyone that whites are the basis of everything which is totally a lie and a fraud.

And they use that idea of 'light skinned' North Africans as justification, but what they really mean is white European people. It would be one thing if they had mulattoes as the ancient Egyptians, but that isn't good enough. They want white kids from Anglophile and Europhile countries to see and identify with these ancient people so they HAVE to put on near pure blood European actors to play these roles. The mulattoes aren't good enough because they are to 'stained' with non white blood. Which shows that this is all fundamentally racist to the core and nothing else. So again, in their minds, the closest population to the ancient Egyptians is a pure European population. Modern Egyptians do not even apply.

And that is not Sharon Levy. Sharon Levy is a white woman, you know one of those white women need more power and equality women.

It's not closer to white, because of the lighter complexion. Unless you see pitch black as original black. Which indicates a stereotype. But logically over time skin complexion declined considering the region. Like elsewhere.

NETWORK EXECUTIVES

Sharon Levy 4.16.14

Sharon Levy

Executive Vice President, Original Series - Spike TV

Sharon Levy serves as Executive Vice President of Original Series, Spike TV.

Levy joined Spike in 2005 and has overseen the development of the network’s highest-rated original series including “Ink Master,” “Bar Rescue,” “Catch A Contractor,” “Auction Hunters,” and “Tattoo Nightmares.”


Levy is currently overseeing the most ambitious project in network history, the highly-anticipated event-series, “Tut,” featuring an all-star cast led by acting icon, Sir Ben Kingsley. This landmark television event is Spike’s first big scripted project in eight years.


Levy is leading the network’s return to scripted programming with the development of distinctive, original projects with A-list names attached including “The Crusaders” from Pierce Brosnan’s Irish DreamTime, Mark Sennet Entertainment, Michael Finch and Academy Award®-winning writer David Franzoni; “Deep Web” from Flying Studio Pictures, the production partnership of the world renowned actor and critically-acclaimed, award-winning filmmaking team Gary Oldman and producer Douglas Urbanski along with producer/director/writer Tony Krantz of Flame Ventures; “The Chairman,” based on the Stephen Frey best-seller; “War at the Shore” with Kevin Spacey’s Trigger Street Productions and Giant Pirates Entertainment based on Richard D. “Skip” Bronson’s book; and Red Mars, based on Kim Stanley Robinson’s series of novels about the colonization and transformation of Mars.


Levy, featured in Variety’s 2013 “Reality Impact Report,” has worked with many of Hollywood’s most creative minds in the world of factual entertainment. Her ability to connect with the Spike viewer in developing distinctive and impactful programming has resulted in developing the network’s top non-scripted series to date.


Prior to joining Spike TV, Levy worked at Stone & Company Entertainment (formally known as Stone Stanley Entertainment) from 2000-05 as Senior Vice President Programming/Executive Producer. From 2000-2001, Levy served as director of public relations at Comedy Central in Los Angeles where she launched publicity campaigns for the hit series, “The Man Show” and “South Park.” Previously, she was senior publicist at Sci-Fi Channel from 1999-2000, where she worked on “Mystery Science Theater 3000.” Levy was also a publicist at Comedy Central, based in New York, from 1994-1999.


Levy graduated from SUNY Albany with a B.A. degree in European History.

Iddo Goldberg plays Lagus, an Egyptian soldier who develops a special bond with King Tutankhamun. [Big Grin]


It's believed Tutankhamun ruled Egypt between 1334 and 1325 BC. "He was probably the 12th ruler of Egypt's 18th Dynasty."


quote:

Ptolemy was born in 367 as the son of a Macedonian nobleman named Lagus and a woman named Arsinoe, who may or may not have belonged to a minor branch of the Macedonian dynasty. Their son is called a youth friend of Alexander, but being older than the crown prince, his role can perhaps better be interpreted as that of some sort of adviser.

[...]

Ptolemy probably took part in Alexander's Persian campaign from the very beginning, in 334. There is one casual reference to a Ptolemy who was present during the northern campaign of 335, but we are not certain whether this refers to the son of Lagus or another Ptolemy.

However this may be, the son of Lagus certainly took part in the battle of Issus in November 333 and joined Alexander's journey to the oracle of Ammon, in the Libyan desert, in the spring of 331.


[...]

We have more certainty about his presence in Persepolis, which was sacked by Alexander on advise of Ptolemy's mistress Thais (text). We know not much about their affair, except for the fact that she bore him two

"The whole matter of black or white Egyptians is a chimera, cultural baggage from our own society that can only be imposed artificially on ancient Egyptian society. The ancient Egyptians, like their modem descendants, were of varying complexions of color, from the light Mediterranean type, to the light brown of Middle Egypt, to the darker brown of Upper Egypt, to the darkest shade around Aswan and the First Cataract region, where even today, the population shifts to Nubian." (Yurco, 1989)

Those Egyptians in the Nile delta, or north and coastal Lower Egypt were hardly distinguishable to Southern Europeans. They were a very light brown, olive, or "Mediterranean" hue.

Doug M just cherrypicks the darkest he can find, which would have been rare among the average ancient Egyptian as a whole (and mostly confined to the extreme south).

Look at the latitude of Egypt. It overlaps with Southern China and North India. It is in the subtropics, not tropics. The subtropics is intermediate between the temperate zone (north of 38th parallel) and tropics.

Would you call southern Chinese and north Indians "black"? No one does. They are obviously a lighter brown complexion, at subtropical latitude, than 'dark' brown.

Cherrypicking a few dark brown individuals, won't change the reality that most ancient Egyptians were not dark, but a medial - light brown.

"Coastal Lower Egypt were hardly distinguishable to Southern Europeans."

This is true in terms of pigmentation.

In fact, coastal Egypt doesn't even have a hot desert climate.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Egypt

"Egypt essentially has a hot desert climate (Köppen climate classification BWh). The climate is generally extremely dry all over the country except on the northern Mediterranean coast which receives more rainfall in winter. In addition to rarity of rain, extreme heat during summer months is also a general climate feature of Egypt although daytime temperature are obviously more moderated along the northern coast."

Can you show me a very light brown or olive skinned "black" person? That is pretty stupid. If they were so light skinned, why would they be considered "black" in the first place?

Their self-portrayal on their murals put them as having the same colour of their cows--"African dark brown".

And why discount Herodotus's eye-eye visual description of the AEs as "black-skinned and wooly-haired". Plus Aristotle's observation that "too black a hue as an Egyptian or Nubian makes one a coward. Same as too white a hue as a woman. The best colour being the tawny colour of the lion. That colour makes for courage"(Physiognomica).

"Aegypti plerique subfusculi et atrati sunt"(Marcellinus). Translate that and you get the drift.


Plus the fact that the AE civilization was mainly in Middle and Upper Egypt. The North and Delta region were where the infiltrators and border busters sneaked in.

They weren't considered "Aethiops" (burnt-faced i.e. dark brown/black). The ancient Greeks and Romans contrasted the Egyptians to the "Aethiops" e.g. Sub-Saharan Africans in terms of their skin pigmentation, facial features and hair texture.

The average Aethiop was dark brown/black skinned, with broad nose, thick lips and woolly hair, e.g. Pseudo-Virgil: sima nare, labro tumens, torta comam. The average Egyptian in contrast was depicted as a light or medial brown colour, with narrower nose, and wavy or curly hair. The ancient Egyptians contrasted themselves to their southern neighbours, e.g. Nubians. Snowden, 1993 -

Yea, you have the Herodotus quote, and one or two others. These are just cherrypicked again. That's all dishonest Afrocentrics do. In contrast Snowden compiled multiple hundreds (real evidence) of ancient descriptions from Greco-Roman literature to demonstrate what I posted above. All these sources can be found in his Blacks in Antiquity: Ethiopians in the Greco-Roman Experience.

Pritchett (1982) also shows the Herodotus quote is irrelevant compared to 12 sources: "we collected 12 sources of testimonia, including Pindar, Hippocrates, Diodorus, two authors of a periplous, Ammianus, and Christian writers... Herodotus being immaterial as Snowden has stated".

Afrocentists ignore 12+ sources contra Herodotus, and just cherrypick that single one. This is called confirmation bias.

Dead believes that many of the darker skinned ancient Egyptians were dark skinned Caucasoids, not tanned but true darks

Something like this is obviously closer to "white" than "black".

Seriously. Your still saying this with how long you have been here and schooled so many times? You know darn well that ''black" means people of various shades of brown since no person is truly black. That picture you posted is a shade of brown found through the African continent. Now which one is closure to that shade, white people, or these people:

As far as how Ancient Egyptians look like, why not let them answer that. Through their art.

Looks like black Africans to me. Oh, here is a recent Daily Mail article with more pictures.

They weren't considered "Aethiops" (burnt-faced i.e. dark brown/black). The ancient Greeks and Romans contrasted the Egyptians to the "Aethiops" e.g. Sub-Saharan Africans in terms of their skin pigmentation, facial features and hair texture.
Wrong! "Aethiop" does not mean "burnt face" at all. "Aethiopia" would mean "lands beyond Egypt". The Greeks already had a word for "black skinned". It is "melanchros" which Herodotus used in his descriptions of the Ancient Egyptians and Nubians.

I guess,according to your definition of "Aethiopian" the following would represent true Aethiopians. The Ancient Egyptians would those on the third row, extreme right. So obvious how cognitive dissonance can be a real brain affliction.
