I recently read this book by Robert Morkot and I am wondering if anyone else has. This book is mostly Eurocentric and racist lies. Its title is The Black Pharaohs and the book is about the 25th Dynasty only, implying that those were the only Black Pharaohs that ever ruled in Kemet.
Morkot blatantly states that Nefertiti, Queen Tiye, and King Tut were not Black and clearly identifies the Egyptians/Kemites themselves as a non-Afrikan race. Yet this piece of crap book is always posted on so-called Afrocentric websites and is pushed off on us as legitimate scholarship. Don't waste your money on this garbage.

You know one thing I hate is how Europeans try to state that Egyptians did not identify themselves as Africans because they drew Nubians darker than themselves. Off course they drew Nubians darker than themselves. If Nubians were like present day southern Sudanese blue-blacks, then it doesn't take a genuis to see that a black person who is not blue-black is going todrawhimself lighterthan a Nubian. Does it mean that they are actually not from the same race? No. There are a lot of diverse skin colours amongst Africans. The ancient Egyptians could have possibly been the same skin colour as the Bushmen (San)but I don't see anyone denying the Africanness of the San.
And one thing they also fail to mention is that these same Egyptians also drew themselves as distinct from Arabs and Southern Europeans. They gave these people a whitish skin colourwhile drawingthemselves as red and sometimes dark brown. Now there are plenty of dark brown and red skinnedAfricans but we have yet to see one fully white or Arab person with red or dark brown skin, so really where is their argument?
