^And you ignore the fact that Ra/Aten worshipers in ancient Egypt were exposing themselves to the sun! LOL!!! Obama was born with that skin color. Ancient Egyptians, on the other hand, altered their skin tone while reverencing their gods, hence, the tawny or tanned complexion. Denial is a motherfvcker, ain't it?!

^Outside Afrocentrism, it is common knowledge that sunbathing and tanning date back to the ancient Egyptians and was part of their religious culture.

Not only that but they used cosmetics and oils to protect themselves from the sun also. I had a theory that they used henna as a sun block but further research shows that they used red ochre instead to protect themselves from the sun.

The ancient egyptian nobility were pale white or sallow in complexion because they recieved virtually no sun exposure. This is also observable in most art depictions of egyptian females who appear pale white or a sallow colour - because egyptian females stayed indoors and therefore did not sunburn.

So egyptian males (excluding the minority nobility) were sunburnt or darker skinned. While the egyptian females pale white or light.

^ The afrocentric loons however wrongly interpet these art depictions as a white woman with a black man when in fact they show a white woman and a white man but with a sun tan.

For some bizarre reason afrocentrics don't believe whites can aquire a dark tan without having to be a negro.

^Thanks for confirming what I have been saying for years.

That is, that White history was nothing more than "White Fantasy".

My only question is, are you playing with yourselves as you populate this thread?

This is what the Egyptians applied to their skin to help protect them from the sun. I believe they also used this in their artwork.

oh, and the Himba people of Namibia

quote:
The Himba are a tribe of nomadic pastoralists who inhabit the Kaokoland area of Namibia. The Himba are actually descendants of a group of Herero herders who fled into the remote north-west after been displaced by the Nama. The Himba have clung to their traditions and the beautiful Himba women are noted for their intricate hairstyles which and traditional jewellery.

As Himba men and woman wear few clothes apart from a loin cloth or goat skinned mini-skirt, they rub their bodies with red ochre and fat to protect themselves from the sun and also gives their appearance a rich red colour.

Looking at the Himba people above, as well as the photos of the Maasai, to say the ancient people of Kemet used red ochre to protect their skin from the sun equals means they were white is...funny...to put it nicely....lol..

^Don't feel special.

Early historical records suggest the use of ochre as a pigment by numerous cultures. The Ancient Picts were said to paint themselves "Iron Red" according to the Gothic historian Jordanes. Frequent references in Irish myth to "red men" (Gaelic: Fer Dearg) make it likely that such a practice was common to the Celts of the British Isles, bog iron being particularly abundant in the midlands of Ireland.

Confirmed Eediatbwoy [Roll Eyes] you clearly don't overstand the KEMETIC SPIRITUAL SYMBOLISM of the above; and it has NOTHING to do with their skin tone 'white' black brown or otherwise...

and NO I will not take the time to explain the symbology to you...if you're dunce enough to post this and you don't even know of or are aware of or know about the symbolism of it, then that's YOUR problem and your stupidity for doing so without the KNOWledge....

Yes they can't spell. Ebonic language/slang is primitive and non-readable. What a joke these same negroids who speak degenerate ebonics and can't spell think they created Rome and the Latin language etc.

Lioness is white boy, may be from some place in southern Europe,

She "says" she is African maybe Sierra Leone but obviously she is not.

If she was a woman I would be fugking her already.

Don't be naive CT.
