Ancient Egyptians Were Black!

There’s a strong sense of denial that dark-skinned Africans contributed to ancient Egypt's great civilisation and accomplishments. But, in history books and in films, the original story of ancient Egyptians has remained in dispute. Mainstream scholars reject that Egypt was either a white civilization or a Black civilization, maintaining that applying notions of race is anachronistic. Meanwhile, Netflix's recent docudrama, "Queen Cleopatra," depicted the ancient Egyptian ruler as Black, causing an uproar as some Egyptians complained the feature appropriates their culture and rewrites their history. Well, this myth originates from colonial Egyptologists who argued that ancient Egypt was "Aryan" and therefore dominated nearby nations that were seen as "Negro." According to Dr Muhammad Arabi, it's very important to push back and to acknowledge all of Egypt's history. Let us know what you think in the comments.
