    Depends. The Egyptians were most likely a mixture of 'races', though a substantial proportion of the South of the country (the Nubians) were definitely black.

    Are you saying that this book literally said Egyptians were black, or that the claims were both whack? The book itself doesn't say that, while the claim about Egyptians is unsubstantiated, there were many black Egyptians, but most Egyptians were probably a mixture of "races".

    My fault. I meant 'from the same book' as a figure of speech, not the book referred to in the OP. I can see how that was misleading on my part.

    Egyptians were of the southern stock of the Arabic race. With some undoubted Nubian elements to the south etc, but not prevalently, and not as a dominant feature. Only a few Egyptian portraits exhibit typically Nubian facial features; we can use visual depictions to get at their ancient appearance quite accurately, and the vast majority of them had lighter, swarthy complexion (Nefertiti is a great example), with none of the Nubian features like noses and lips. Nor do they look in any way 'white', i.e. Northern European, but for that matter that doesn't make them 'black' (i.e. African).


    "If ye love wealth greater than liberty,
    the tranquility of servitude greater than
    the animating contest for freedom, go
    home from us in peace. We seek not
    your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch
    down and lick the hand that feeds you,
    and may posterity forget that ye were
    our countrymen."
    -Samuel Adams
