funny for an Egyptian man to say this, considering that it was made by black people not Arabs. If such things went by blood then and culture then South Sudan would have the strongest claim to it, its like saying that art by ancient indigenous americans belongs to an amerikkkan only difference is time.
If you look at any of the ancient statues they don't look black, whatever the recent propaganda tries to push. It doesn't make any sense to put everyone in those four racial boxes - an Ethiopian looks as distinct from a South African as a Spaniard and a Swede
Right, the later pharaos were often greek.
This is awfully inaccurate. One singular dynasty, after alexander, was fully greek. Greek pharaohs weren't just a thing. There was one greek family that declared themselves Pharaohs after Alexander died.
Now that you mention it, wasn't it about Kleopatra?
Edit: well that dynasty lasted for 275 years, before they were incorporated into Rome: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemaic_dynasty
Yeah, 275 years of 3120. Still one dynasty, the way the comment was phrased made it seem like there would randomly be Greek Pharaohs in the middle of the Egyptian ones. I wanted to make it clear that they were a distinct thing of their own.
