See, e.g., http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_race_controversy#Historical_hypotheses … for just a few of the bizarre imaginings of racists who can’t imagine black people built cool shit

And yes I know “black” is a social construct but take a gander at Egyptian art, you have to be fucking delusional to think they were white
-
Got to walk around the Egyptian wing of the Met earlier this week, spent most of the time ranting about how nutty racist historians were
-
there are so many paintings of darker-skinned Egyptians brutally slaying lighter-skinned Hittites
-
it’s not some mysterious artistic choice to portray themselves with darker skin
-
Then there was part of the exhibit where they “reconstructed” a wig using hair ornaments that were excavated (wig was long gone, duh)
-
THEY USED A WIG WITH LIGHT BROWN STRAIGHT HAIR. I CALL BULLSHIT, MET.
-
they had a photo next to it of the sculpture / model they based the “reconstruction” off of. granted, it was not in great shape.
-
but that hair looked very black and very curly to me. almost like… natural black hair? for fuck’s sake, Met. for fuck’s sake.

@acoliver I mean, Ridley Scott’s done a movie about Robin Hood, so -
@sarahjeong Are you saying Robin Hood isn't real? Blasphemy!
