Internet can be both fantastic and terrible. Sometimes such a simple thing as an ancient statue can set off a whole bunch of angry tirades and all kinds of claims.

Here is a short video about a statue from the 12 dynasty. But obviously it has the wrong color according to some commentators.

One can always discuss the interpretation of the statue in the video, or think it is cherry picked, but still, many seem to worry very much over these things.

As usual there are also allegation of certain statues as fake if they do not conform with some commenters notions of how the ancient Egyptians looked like.



Egyptian Women Farmers Past vs Present

That’s a foreign woman who was egyptiazied in 12th dynasty she’s wearing the same clothes colors as the foreigners who came from Asia. Also 70% of the foreigners in Egypt were woman that’s a fact.! There’s other artfacts showing farmers way differently soo we clearly see there were many nations in Egypt as (Egyptians) not every Egyptian is gonna be native u even had foreigners in old kingdom we had foreigners in Egypt way before any invasion. Don’t look at that and say that’s how all of them looked. Most definitely the woman. The woman came in all shades to black skinned ✊🏿to my shade✊🏽to✊🏾. So u looking at that like she’s an native Egyptian from a royal family u probably don’t even know her name. She had no relations to the natives. She have no name you don’t know the mother nor her father name.

Hello Thanks for watching and for taking the time to make a comment. Shows me how much you care about my content and my history 🥰
I would like to correct your information. This is a statue of an Egyptian female farmer she is not from a royal foreign family like you claim. Royal women never walked out in the sun carrying baskets or ducks, they stayed indoors and had a team of servants to do all that for them.
Secondly, not once in the video did I claim that this is exactly what all Egyptians look like, or even mention skin tone. You are the one that is bringing up race for no reason and without any relevance or context. But I am used to that from Americans by now. Egyptians as I mentioned before come in many different shades and forms, we are a huge country with a population of 150 million.. we are not uniform of course.
Let’s spread love kindness and acceptance instead of racism.

This so called “ancient statue” (that’s most likely a fake) and the image you showed are not people who are natives of Africa. Both are descendants of foreigners who came to Africa. Ancient Kemet (Egypt) was built and ruled by black Africans.
