What did the Ancient Egyptians look like?

[Aureumterra III]

Yeah there are actually people who will accuse modern Egyptians of being 'invaders'...in Egypt.
Yeah....

Genetic studies linking modern Egyptians to ancient Egyptians: like 100

Genetic studies linking black Americans to ancient Egyptians: 0

Anything Semitic is accurate enough. Israeli Jews, like Gal Gadot, are closer to Cleopatra than Sub Saharans ever were

And lived in condos made of stone-a.

*chuckles in Egyptian*

Your both right, the role should go to Steve martin.

Imagine being Egyptian and being accused of being an invader on your own ancestors land.

I always figured they looked like Arabs. They were in North Africa and their hieroglyphs seem to look like that.

Their style was different though. They had a thing for bowl cuts and they appeared to be clean shaven, whereas Arab men tend to get fades and grow out their facial hair.

I don't mean style, obviously. I mean ethnic features.

...You realize hieroglyphs predate Arabic by millennia, right?

Boy are you confused...

What if in reality ancient Egyptians were aliens?

If you look at the map of Egypt, you will see it is in Africa, in Asia, and directly across from the Europe. It is the perfect crossroads of the world. It is where everyone comes.

I had to. I'm sorry. There's no proof that they're NOT. They could be advanced extraterrestrials who had a diaspora throughout the Caucasus and eventually the world, making a good portion of people secretly part alien!!!

I know a lot of people who never went to Egypt. Of course, I lived there for 950 years, but still ... "It's too hot." "It's too dry, my hair will be a mess!"

Feel free to deep dive into Twitter. You will find people claiming they are both the Pharaoh and the Jews.

I am fairly certain it has been one or the other since the book of exodus.

So them being undocumented migrants would explain why they built so much stuff is what you are saying ?

Could be, but a lot of them didn't wear pants, so ...

Nope: Most Indo-Europeans were blonde, blonde-ish, or even red-haired - and with blue or green eyes. It's only once they start marrying the indigenous southern Europeans (like the Pelasgians, in Greece) or other immigrants (Athens had a sizeable Phoenician bloodline) that they became brown-eyed and black-haired.

As mentioned before in this thread: Alexander the Great was blonde. The one colour picture we have of the man shows a dark blonde young man. The northern Dorians pictured themselves as blonde. Homer mentions fair-haired men (/heroes - pretty much the same to him). Cleopatra's grandmother was a blonde Greek woman.

Where does this need come from to dump all fair-haired people north of the Drava? It certainly isn't historically accurate!

Brown hair, brown eyes, tan skin.

He honestly looks like your average Greek in Greece today (altough it must be said that sideburns have fallen out of fashion).

Egypt is nice, going down the Nile, in a nightboat to Cairo

Fashion is a fickle mistress, so it is safe to assume that those will become mainstream again sooner or later.

I'm sure someone has a study out there about how much of Alexander's DNA is in modern Greeks.
But I'm too lazy to get it.

Just like Attila the Hun's DNA can still be traced in Hungarians.
