Black Egyptians

[Moros]

Looking at your images, the first one clearly differenciates between the lighter skinned pharoh and darker skinned Gods

I find this one hard to understand. The more pale looking fellow in the centre seems to have the weird headdress of Sobek(-re), which in some dynasties symbolizes the pharao's power. Considering that god normally has the face of a crocodile, it could very well be the representation of a Pharaoh with the symbol of it's strength. Note the green scale though.

In the extreme left hand side we see ptah. Who isn't dark, yet is a god. Also note him standing at the right side of a possible reoccurring motive of gods/pharao's facing each other and 'holding hands'.

Between ptah and the other pal fellow, we see what looks like a 'servant' of some sort and another important figure, who wear the crown of lower Egypt (the Deshret) and the symbol of Ammon. To the right we again see a figure wearing the crown of lower Egypt. This time facing Anubis, definately not a Pharaoh.

As this seems like a repeating pattern with another God at the utmost left side and a servant at the utmost right hand side, I think it is more likely that the whiter guy in the middle not to be a Pharaoh. Seeing that two times out of three we are surely dealing with a god standing at the right side. (Ptah and Anubis). While the white guy might be Sobek, a related or different god or pharao, though less likely considering he has no clear features of a pharao.

We have two black figures at the left, both wearing the Deshret, a clear symbol of pharaonic power. Though indeed it is sometimes worn by gods. I know Horus is often depicted with a/the crown(s) of Egypt, due to his background story and his importance/relation to the pharao. Also clothing looks to suggest the left figure to be the paharao, the servant,... Note the same clothing in Anubis and (possibly) Sobek and compare it with the two black figures they are facing.

If all it seems to support his argument.


Now, I'm not saying Egypt was black, or all Pharaos' were. Some dynasties certainly had more southern ethinicities, and there sometimes were multiple dynasties at the same time as well. I think Egypt was influenced by many peoples. Nubian, Arab and other Semites (not talking about the 7-8th century AD here),... and originally existed out of more than one culture and ethnicity to start with. The oldest sources of Archaeology show us this, there was a huge difference in the upper and lower Egypt.

Links with modern or 20th century racial issues are irrelevant though. They were who they were, regardless of colour. It's the culture that mainly matters. Except when it comes to unit skins of course.
