Where there any black people in Egypt?

Answer 1

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).

It is notable that Egypt was conquered by Nubia/Kush which was a historically verified "Black" State.

Answer 2

What happened to the English language? Have we been so dumbed down that we cannot ask a simple question using correct grammar, grammar that would have been obvious to a six year old only twenty years ago?

The question should read:

WERE the Egytians negroid?

Not, "WAS"!!!

And nobody at Yahoo is smart enough to pick this up?

That explains a lot.

Good-bye.
