There is also evidence that early Europeans and Americans had blatantly African characteristics (Grimaldi, Luzia Woman, etc.). Ancient Egyptians usually acknowledged as African, just not "Black African" seems to be fine, yet when someone points out Europeans, just not "White Europeans" it doesn't apply anymore.

That's a hypocrite for you.

Mena, Nice photos.
Photos are great in proving that high level blacks did exist in Europe as well as providing proof of European albino whitewashing of history.
In those times, it was common for people to maintain personal journals and memoirs of their lives which provided additional details of the intimate relations between them and European albinos, as well as other blacks of the time. These personal records could then be used to establish what was the real social interactions of these historic figures and how much they actively participated in European domination of today's world. Meaning, I wonder which of these were truly "Black-centric", socially neutral, or actively working towards the elevation of their own, versus those who would be considered traitors, working against their own.
As the old saying goes, "The hunting Dog, once the hunt is over, gets eaten".

Rare English Gold Sovereign of Queen Mary | Sovereigns are large, thin gold coins that feature imposing portraits of the respective monarch. The Mary I Gold Sovereign coin was issued under the authority of the first Queen Regnant of England, Mary Tudor (Mary I), daughter of Henry VIII. She was also the the grand-daughter of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain.
The Gold Ryal, also known as the Rose Noble, was an English gold coin first issued in 1464, during the "first reign" of Edward IV (1461-1470). From the 1430s onwards, the price of gold had been rising, with the result that the gold noble, which had been in use since 1344, was worth more on the continent than in England. The nobles were exported en masse to the continent for profit, resulting in a shortage of the coins.

Mena7,
Come off it. NONE of those people were Black. Stop trying to steal what is not yours to claim. White children have the right to know who they are, where they come from, who their ancestors were. They have a right to knowledge of self, a right to feel pride in their people. They have a right to know their history, their heritage, their identity. They have a right to their homeland. They have a right to look at ancient artifacts in Europe (paintings, statues,figurines,remains) and see themselves in those depictions. All things you and your Black racist Black supremacist ilk are trying to rob them of. You want them to walk lost in this world wondering who they are, where they come from. Not knowing their history, thinking they have none. Thinking they have no homeland nowhere they belong. You want them to look at all ancient artifacts even in Europe and think where's mine, where's my people's where do I fit in, feeling no pride. That's just wrong.

Thanks the real and Ish Gebor. Celtic Warrior dont be racist and egotistical, the Black European monarchs that ruled Europe were not only the Kings of Black people they were also the king of White people. The Black European monarchs in that thread were the kings and emperors of your White ancestors Celtic Warrior. Tell your children those ancient Black Kings are their kings and the White European kings and queens of today are the descenndants of the Black European kings and queens.The Black race is the mother and father of the White race so the Black monarchs are also your monarchs Celticwarrior.

Ive notice that the lioness and mena are polar opposites
The lioness limits black history to Sub-Saharan Africa and slavery (black people have a history outside of these fields such as ancient Egypt and Moors)
Mena over-expands black history to include the whole world outside of Africa (i get that there are black people outside of Africa but everyone's history is not black)

you have the wrong type of opposite. The difference is in methodology. Anything I don't see thoroughly investigated I will take issue with. For instance the conclusions of the authors of the Abusir study. I can't agree with that. They make broad assumptions based on a limited sample. I have at least four threads on books about black Europeans. They get few replies. People would rather look at pictures and make up the stories

no all you do is copy and paste with no primary sources
you use the same methods as mena because you regurgitate alot of information that you your self have not investigated or can verify.
Both you and mena are in the same boat, just at different ends of the boat.
for example your thread on Angelo Soliman was typical copy and paste with no primary sources or originality
your version of black history is only limited to two categories Sub-Saharan Africa and Slavery
your version of Black European history will fall in the slavery category

And if you have something to produce on blacks in Europe that is a primary source you should do it, otherwise you are just bluffing and blowing hot air. You have nothing on the table right now, just mad because I provide context and background information when people delve into fantasy history. Let's see if you can come up with something black European I haven't covered already However it's quite peculiar how "European" used to be an oppressor category but now there is a whole movement on the internet to try to be them.

Here you say that Egyptian women had foreign wives
and in the same sentence you say light skinned images are actually representations of gold.
That doesn't make sense. If the subject is Egyptian men having foreign wives light skinned images representing gold has nothing to do with foreign wives. Logically it should be two separate thoughts, not associated with one another and requiring two separate sentences and it would still be inexplicable if these two sentences followed each other. But you are confused
That aside you say light skinned images are actually representations of gold. So apparently you don't know what a "primary source" is. Merely showing a yellow figure does not prove it was intended to be gold. That would have to shown in an Egyptian text. - which you have not provided. You have merely copy and pasted a picture and made a claim lacking a primary source , plus you didn't even know the goddesses name until Djehuti mentioned it

hathor is called the golden one
Hymn from the Sanctuary of the Temple of Dendera
"Adoration to You, , the Golden One Mistress of Iunet, The August and Powerful One in the Sanctuary-of-the-August-One, The One who shines like gold in the Temple-of-the-Sistrum, The Atenet in the Land of Atum! I adore Your Majesty with Your heart's desire. I invoke Your Image with the sacred texts, I exalt Your Ka to the height of heaven, I worship Your Image to the limits of the rays of the Aten.
Come in peace, progress in joy, Your heart is sweetened by hearing prayers, Het-Hert the Great, Mistress of Iunet, The Eye of Ra, Mistress of Heaven, Sovereign of All the Gods, The Great Uraeus, the Mistress of the Great Sanctuary, Your beautiful face is satisfied with your beloved son, The King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Master of the Two Lands, eternally."

Afrocentric Black supremacist nonsense. No such thing as a Black European and none of those portraits or coins depict Black people. That portrait with the Black man is NOT Charles V either. When are you Black supremacist Anti-Whites going to find your own history in AFRICA and stop trying to steal others histories. As I have stated before, White children have a right to their history, their ancestors, their homeland,etc without you trying to rob them of it.

Maxine Helfman Tackles Complex Racial Issues By Taking Photographs Of Black Models Posing In Flemish Traditional Costumes
Mena: I am speculating that photographer Maxine Helfman saw the paintings of Black Dutch nobility, merchants and banking family in private collection and symbolically show them to the public by using photographs and Black models.
Black models dressed up in traditional Flemish costumes. Maxine Helfman takes photographs the way Old Masters would have portrayed high society in the 17th century. In this series called “Historical Correction”, the artist offers the option of a reverse history. She wants to create a past that never existed. Her purpose is to create a dialogue with the viewers.
Using the same white collars, hats and black tunics. Even the poses are similar, mostly directly looking into the camera, only portraits and a use of lighting which features the faces. She doesn’t use a frame in order to keep the focus on the portraits. Maxine Helfman confirms that she was very careful on how approaching this project. Being a white women herself, she didn’t want to create confusion around a sensible subject.
By creating fictional narratives, she gives another outlook on history and culture. She directs the issues of race by looking at a different society in another time. The photographs are an indirect testimony that race and class are nowhere to be parted. Using art as a mean to express an idea, to make a statement; her series is not to be looked at as a final fact. She opens the door to a discussion about race, equality and how these issues are dealt within their country, wherever the viewers are. “All of my projects begin with that concept….it is the conversation that is generated that is fascinating…..positive and negative”
