Are Egyptian people black

Answer 1

The question as put is "Are there black Egyptians?" This means if there is a single person in Egypt who is identified by his passport as being Egyptian and being aspectually black, this condition would be satisfied in the affirmative. As it turns out, there are many Egyptians, especially in the South of the country, who have what is traditionally considered to be "black" coloration.

As concerns the predominant race in Egypt today, most Egyptians today have Mediterranean coloration. This coloration varies, but includes colors that might be mis-identified with a Southern German at their lightest and may be mis-indentified with Pakistani at their darkest. Nationalities with similar complexions include most Arabs, Southern Italians, Southern Spaniards, Turks, and other North Africans. Most of these groups are characterized as "White" by the United States Census Bureau, regardless of how others may see them.

As concerns the coloration of Egyptians in the Ancient Period, there is much controversy over this. Perhaps the clearest evidence that some Egyptians were black in the Ancient Period comes from paintings in Egyptian tombs and temples which show blacks as well as people of a Mediterranean coloration. There is also a minority opinion that Egyptians were predominantly black during the Ancient Period. However, most people believe that Egyptians during the Ancient Period resemble the modern Copts (who claim direct descendence from the Ancient Egyptians) and who are of Mediterranean Coloration (not Black).

Answer 2

No, they're considered Egyptian.

Answer 3

We do not know what color each Pharaoh was. Egypt was involved in warfare. At one time the the Hyksos, a group from modern day Turkey, conquered Egypt. They were caucasian, or white. At one time a group from Nubia, present day Sudan, conquered Egypt. They were black. Pharaohs married women from Syria (white) and Nubia (black). Different dynasties took over not related to the previous ones. A King Tut exhibit came to the United States. It had a picture the color of King Tut. It was the color of a mulatto. When we know the identity of the conquerer, we know the color of the Pharaoh. When we know that he was overthrown by a Nubian or Ethiopian, we know the color of the Pharaoh. Otherwise, we do not know.

Answer 4

Most Egyptians are Arabs, and usually have olive or moderately brown color skin with an 18 on the Fitzpatrick scale.

Answer 5

Hard to say. Skin color varies in the Middle East a great deal. The Egyptians saw themselves as darker than their Bedouin neighbors, but lighter than the Kushites to the south.
