What color did strabo say the egyptians were and colchians?
I am the Colchian descent myself (western Georgia) and I will tell you, that Herodotus "the father of lies" corrected his views about Colchians, as they were never Black o…r had any connection with Africans, of course Egyptians we're not Africans, so comparing Colchians and Egyptians has nothing to do with being black. There numerous peoples in Georgia known as Colchian descents, mainly Mingrelians and Lazs who are the correct descendants of ancient Colchians and their great civilization. People describe Mingrelians and Lazs (modern Colchians) as the most beautiful people of Caucasian (Iberian) race, they're all white, mostly with Blonde hair and blue eyes, but of course there are many brunette Colchians aswell with brown eyes, just google modern famous Mingrelians or even Georgian president "Zviad Gamsakhurdia" who is a Colchian (Mingrelian) descent himself with typical "Colchian" features. No matter what they say always remember the ancient Colchians and Iberians were white peoples and the their correct descendants today are Georgians, who live in South Caucasus, since they belong to Iberian race (aswell as Basques, Catalonians), this makes them white, they can have any type of hair or eyes which are common characteristics of true white and not just "white", but "Caucasian" peoples, a person can have both Blonde and Brunette, even Red hair, or even blue, brown or green eyes etc... The answer: They (aswell as eastern Iberians) were WHITE! To answer the question: Strabo concurred with Arrian that Egyptians were coloured like northern Indians - straight hair, fair skin. edit: Strabo lived during a period over 4000 years after the ancient egyptians, 800 years after greeks colonized north africa. And 300 years after the ptolemic dynasty started. Do you think there was some admixture? I mean do American look like Native Americans still? No it took less than 50 years to move the Natives out. So why would Egyptians after centuries of being invaded and conquered still look the same. 400 years prior, they were said to be black with wooly hair. (MORE)
