Egyptians didn't look Nubian


Not all.

Many were Coptic.

Cleopatra was (basically) European descent.

Ancient Egypt was more cosmopolitan than according to the popular imagination.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Which one of the 7 Cleopatras are you referring to?



Annoying, isn't that the 8th deadly sin?

How about the ugly one.

"What's a Nubian?"

reply

I am from the Middle East, and I lived for a while in Cairo, and many Egyptians (not all) still today have very mild African features (thicker curlier hair, broader noses etc) than most other Middle Easterners, even the very white ones there, as with many North African nationalities. Ergo, some ancient Egyptians were black, but most were/are mainly brown/Mediterranean in look. But they were not white European. Even today there are still many black Egyptians. Just go to Aswan.

And yeah, I know you are totally trolling for a response and dont really care about the details, as every other IMDb board that relates to Egypt in some way, has one of these bait threads.

Telling the complete truth isn't trolling.

Nubia(Sudan and southern Egypt) did trade with Egypt. They even were marrying each other. What does this have to do with the movie?
