[QUOTE="Mendeh, post: 181875, member: 2714"] Not by anybody with even a basic knowledge of Egyptian history, it wouldn't be. Of course you're going to find lots of different ethnic groups there, because as one of the biggest, richest and influential empires in the Middle East it received one heck of a lot of immigration, especially after the Middle Kingdom. During the Middle Kingdom,pretty much the whole country was actually taken over by the Hyksos. Whole cities were taken up by immigrants into Egypt (ex. Avaris, which received lots of immigration especially from the area round Palestine), and in addition to this prisoners of war from Egypt's conquests would be used as slaves down the mines. As well as Hyksos pharaohs, different regions of Egypt also had Nubian leaders, such as Piankhy, and Libyan leaders such as Tefnakht. In addition, bifurcating all these different groups into 'white and black individuals' is unjustified today, but even more so back then when one considers that the Egyptians saw lots of different sorts of racial characteristics in their neighbouring regions, distinguishing far more between racial characteristics than we would today, as you'll see if you look at any smiting scene on a tomb wall.
