-
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.
