Were There Black People In Ancient Egypt

by [deleted]

I figured that since Egypt was rather diverse for its time i would think i wouldn't be completely out of the realm of possibility

the closest I've got on this were Nubians however their made up of many different groups of people so it's hard to say one description says the Nubians where made of a red and black population

the notion of race didn't really seem prevalent or wasn't really a thing at during that time period

But overall I'm just wondering if was possible

You touch on a recurring challenge in history: [how] can we use modern concepts to describe societies that didn't use those concepts, or at least didn't approach them the way we do? This thread only somewhat addresses Ancient Egypt in particular, but you'll probably find it helpful nonetheless:

As always, though, more can be said, if anyone wishes to add a new contribution.
