Here we go again with the Black Egyptians. They did not exist. Maybe as slaves, but thats it

its an American cultural issue, im black and a lot of my friends don't know how cool sub-Sahara history is, so they blackwash other peoples history. Some ppl actually think the Persians where black btw

Yeah this is just completely wrong. The majority of Egyptians were not black, but black people definitely existed in Egypt. The Nubians lived right South of Egypt and their lands were part of the empire multiple times, hell at one point they even ruled Egypt (though that would be a later era than in the game). Of course they mixed. We can see in art that Egyptians depicted their people in multiple skin-tones, Rule of thumb is that Upper Egypt would likely have had a higher black population.
Ramesses III the pharaoh in question here was also found to have a higher Sub-Saharan genome than most other mummies, so this depiction (where he looks like a somewhat mixed Semitic person) checks out.

A typical case of both sides being wrong then. Most Egyptians were not black, but black people that weren't slaves definitely lived in Egypt.

Nubians were ethnically and culturally different peoples from Egyptians From Kush further down the Nile. The only Egyptian thing about them is when Egypt conquered them.

I don't care about skin color in unhistorical games. My Fingolian skin is so white that it makes you all look like black people.

Hi there.

Ofc, it´s all about the money and the worldwide agenda. One day the youngest will be normalized and no one will speak out about it anymore. History books changed, movie characters changed, game character & history course changed. and so on and so on.

And as long people pay for such things & not boycott it & or talk about it. Nothing will be left to your own children one day.

Mark my words.
