Hipotesis Mesir kulit hitam

Hipotesis Mesir kulit hitam menyatakan bahwa Mesir kuno merupakan sebuah peradaban kulit hitam, sebuah istilah yang sekarang dimengerti dalam persepsi etnis Amerika modern. Hipotesis tersebut meliputi fokus terhadap hubungan identifikasi budaya Sub-Sahara dan pertanyaan terhadap ras tokoh-tokoh terkenal dari masa-masa Dinasti, yang meliputi Tutankhamun, raja yang diigambarkan pada Sfinks Agung Giza,Robert Schoch ,, A modified version of this manuscript was published in the "Fortean Times" (P.O. Box 2409, London NW5 4NP) No. 79, February March, 1995, pp. 34, 39. dan ratu Ptolemaik Yunani Kleopatra. Grant notes that Cleopatra probably had not a drop of Egyptian blood and "would have described herself as Greek," noting that had she been illegitimate her "numerous Roman enemies would have revealed this to the world.". Goldworthy notes Cleopatra "was no more Egyptian culturally or ethnically than most residents of modern day Arizona are Apaches", that Greek was her native tongue, that it was "in Greek literature and culture she was educated," and that she wore the robes and headband of a Greek monarch. Schiff writes Cleopatra was not dark-skinned, that "the Ptolemies were in fact Macedonian Greek, which makes Cleopatra approximately as Egyptian as Elizabeth Taylor", that her Ptolemaic relatives were described as "honey skinned", that she was part Persian, and that "an Egyptian mistress is a rarity among the Ptolemies."Hugh B. Price ,Charles Whitaker , The author cites a few examples of the claim, one of which is a chapter entitled "Black Warrior Queens," published in 1984 in Black Women in Antiquity, part of The Journal of African Civilization series, in which a principal argument in favor of the hypothesis claims that Cleopatra called herself black in the Book of Acts, when she in fact did not and had died long before the New Testament. It draws heavily on the work of J.A. Rogers.Mona Charen ,
