problems with the new introduction first paragraph no one discovered ancient egyptians they have been known to their neighbors since the dawn of civilization everyone seems to enjoy is not a phrase one should use in an encyclopedia article speculating on the reasons certain scholars are involved in this discussion is just a step away from an argumentum ad hominem second paragraph the 'eurocentrist' position i e that ancient egypt was predominantly caucasian is still excluded which makes the intro biased third paragraph it is very clear that this is not a question that will have an answer to for some time is pure speculation i e pov i e original research how did you come to this conclusion the racial identity of ancient egyptians has been steeped in controversy ever since the discovery of their existence everyone seems to enjoy the mysterious nature of the ancient egyptians and for many different reasons be it for prosperity or to clear historical inaccuracies want to claim them as their own there are many different opinions on their racial makeup one opinion among some scholars is that ancient egypt was a multi racial society another opinion held by other scholars is that that ancient egyptians were black african peoples claiming that this black identity was strongest in early egyptian history and waned over time they also assert egypt remained essentially a black african civilization throughout the dynastic era then we also have many other historians reluctant to make definitive claims about the skin color of its inhabitants although the mainstream position has changed over time it is very clear that this is not a question that will have an answer to for some time
