If Ancient Egyptians were black the what explains Pyramids in Mexico?

Why did they make all their statues and mummy masks look like black people?

It isn't a tad bit interesting that similar ancient symbols, architecture and art are found half way around the planet and have no connection whatsoever.

Have you actually SEEN IN PERSON both pyramid styles? No, they arent' very similar save for the shape. They look VERY DIFFERENT and most importantly they served VERY DIFFERENT purposes.

I don't know whether ancient Egyptians were black or not but there are definitely remnants of black genetics in a lot of people there.

If you are into books that dont bullshit, this one was a good 'pyramid' read: http://amzn.to/1iHGpux

This is the most retarded white supremacy argument I have read, and that takes some doing

Not sure what being black has to do with it.

You should read William Bramley's "The Gods of Edens". He explores this question with some depth. You might not like the answer though, but I'll give a hint: given the technology required to build the pyramids with such demonstrated precision, and given the similarity of pyramid structures in many parts of the world, this suggests a technology way beyond the primitive people of the time -- they had "external" help.

Their statues and masks look Sub-Saharan too you? Because they don't look like that at all.

Afro-centrists, many African American (amalgamation of west african and white slave owners) and no relation whatsoever to Egypt or Egyptians have hijacked ancient Egyptian history to suit their own goals and using it to show they have some kind of history, when in reality they have none.

Its some kind of sick joke, and its actually racist against Egyptians but its OK because Black people are doing it.

What does Mexico have to do with White supremacy?

Is it racist because there are pyramids in Mexico built like the ones in Egypt? Is it racist because it doesn't support that Egyptians were black?

The mental jumping to think that somehow ancient Egyptians were Black and then when obvious evidence shows otherwise is actually the definition of racism. Ignoring evidence to fit a racial theory that suits ones own race; obviously its acceptable when blacks do it.

And its ok when blacks are racist to non-blacks, regardless of race.

Perhaps Black Americans ARE the most racist people on the planet.

"Some genetic studies done on modern Egyptians suggest that most do not have close relations to most Sub Saharan Africans"

Don’t have to bother with modern Egyptians, the sculls of the Mummies buried in the pyramids are plainly white, not negriod.

The ancient Egyptians had absolutely no contact with the Americas. Do you really think that?

Let's assume that you do really think that for a minute. How does the "fact" that they had contact with ancient Americans prove the color of their skin?

You, at least, should know better than this. Pyramids are just about the most primitive thing you can build. Technologically advanced people don't even bother with them.

How they managed to take pyramids to such extreme levels with primitive technology has been forgotten because as technology advanced, extreme-pyramid-building-with-primitive-tools went out of fashion. And because they didn't write down their construction methods on any durable media.

If I was a pro-black racist trying to bolster my race's list of accomplishments by distorting history, the last thing I would do is claim that blacks built the pyramids. Egypt's whole cultural legacy is that it squandered all it's resources and manpower constructing giant tombstones—great accomplishment.

The evidence is clear, Egyptians were not black, and their descendants today in Egypt and Latin America aren't black either.

You forgot to use the word, 'libtard'. As a result your post simply cannot be taken seriously.

And you're a one trick pony. You repeat that tired statement over and over- retard.

Because that's what champions do.

Who has said they were purely Black? Egyptians have long been a stable mixture of races.

Basically the mixing of Afro-Asiatic people thousands of years ago who intermingled until they were stable "beige" people who then built pyramids.

If mixing blue and yellow makes green, then why am I hungry?

Boy I wish the Egyptians had left some painted images of themselves so we knew what they looked like!

Holy god people on this board are the dumbest in the world. At least do a minimum of research before being racist.

How do we know that's what they really looked like? Maybe they created images of what they wanted to look like. For instance how can we be sure Queen Nefertitti, didn't actually look like Betty Friedan or Eleanor Roosevelt?

Its kind of like mimes. We can see them, but what they really look like behind that make-up?

DNA testing has established that ancient Egyptians were primarily of Eurasian origin.

Central American pyramids are more similar in style to Chinese or Mesopotamian pyramids, rather than Egyptian ones.

Egyptian and Chinese pyramids were burial complexes, while Central American and Mesopotamian pyramids were temples.

There are other examples of pyramid structures in Russia, England, mainland Europe, South America and Illinois.
