The only claim I make is that ancient Egypt was more Southern oriented than modern Egypt.
I also claim that those who want to interpret ancient Egyptians as being more Eurasian
in features and complexion are in complete denial of the facts. Of course the idea
of Egypt being a melting pot is because it has been exposed to many migrations of people
over the last 5,000 years, much like many other places on earth. However, that does
not change the fact that during the dynastic period the people of Egypt and the culture of
Egypt were much more oriented towards the South and often turned towards the south,
meaning South of Egypt, for renewal. This is consistent with the Nile bringing the
rich black soil of the inundation as a form of renewal, as well as black Africans from
inner Africa or "God's land" as another form of renewal. Therefore, to try and pretend
that dynastic Egypt was more like the populations of the modern Northern delta is erroneous,
just as it is erroneous to try and portray the ancients as being like modern Europeans
and asians, because they weren't. Like people keep saying, the ancient Egyptians portrayed
themselves distinct from others in Asia, Europe and other parts of Africa, yet modern
portrayals tend to favor a European look for a people who were not European.

Therefore, whenever there are multiple images of ancient Egyptians, those that can be
purported to be European looking or Eurasian looking are singled out as "typical",
when the more numerous African looking images are ignored. That is what I am talking
about. This goes for every famous personality in Egypt, from Tut to Akhenaten to Nefertiti
to Nefertari and so on, as those who want the Egyptians to be more like Eurasians than
Africans will do their best to put forward any evidence, real or otherwise, to reinforce
this concept, while downplaying the fundamental African identity of this ancient culture.
This is not a case of making them like African Americans or Southern Africans, this is
a case of saying that they were a continuation of the traditions and cultures of the
Nile valley which stretches thousands of miles, all within Africa and those cultures
that developed along the Nile leading to the creation of Egypt. Just as there were
differences along all parts of the Nile, between various populations and cultures,
they were still African and shared a common heritage as African and Egypt is not
outside this fundamental Nile Valley context.
