Notice how the two males in the scene are different shades of "reddish brown". (Bottom) The other two coal black ladies in the Ashayet painting. This is the actual scene in the Cairo Museum. People relate this queen's color to religious symbology, yet a dilemma is created when we try to explain away the two tribute bearers in the same scene

The Badarian culture provides the earliest direct evidence of agriculture in Upper Egypt during the Predynastic Era. It flourished between 4400 and 4000 BC, and might have already emerged by 5000 BC...

Badari culture is so named because of its discovery at El-Badari (Arabic: البداري), an area in the Asyut Governorate in Upper Egypt. It is located between Matmar and Qau, approximately 200 km (120 mi) northwest of present-day Luxor (ancient Thebes)...

Older and modern scholarship have characterised the Badarians as an indigenous, Northeast African population that was rooted in a localised, context.Frank Yurco considered the Badarians as exhibiting a "mix of North African and Sub-Saharan physical traits" and referenced older, analysis of skeletal remains which "showed tropical African elements in the population of the earliest Badarian culture". Recent archaeological evidence has suggested that the Tasian and Badarian Nile Valley sites were a peripheral network of earlier Northeast African cultures that featured the movement of Badarian, Saharan, Nubian and Nilotic populations.

In 1971, Eugene Strouhal came to the conclusion that the distribution of the Badarian skulls extends from the Europoid to the Negroid range. Of the total 117 skulls, the majority of 94 skulls showed mixed Europoid-Negroid features. The share of both components was nearly the same, with some overweight to the Europoid side. He noted the Negroid component among the Badarians is anthropologically well based. Even though the share of 'pure' Negroes is small (6-8%), being half that of the Europoid forms (12.9%), the high majority of mixed forms (80.3%) suggests a long-lasting dispersion of Negroid genes in the population. Additionally, in some of the Badarian crania hair was preserved, in the first series they were curly in 6 cases, wavy in 33 cases and straight in 10 cases. They were black in 16 samples, dark brown in 11, brown in 12, light brown in 1, and grey in 11 cases.

Sonia Zakrzewski (2003 Durham University, England)) found that samples from the Badarian to the Middle Kingdom in Upper Egypt had "tropical body plans" but that their proportions were actually "super-negroid", i.e. the limb indices are relatively longer than in many "African" populations. She proposed that the apparent development of an increasingly African body plan over time may also be due to Nubian mercenaries being included in the Middle Kingdom sample. 

In 2005, S.O.Y. Keita examined Badarian crania from predynastic upper Egypt in comparison to European (Norway and Hungary) and various tropical African crania (Southern Africa, Mali and Kenya). He found that the predynastic Badarian series clustered much closer with the tropical African series. Although, no West Asian or other North African samples were included in the original study as the comparative series were selected based on "Brace et al.'s (1993) comments on the affinities of an upper Egyptian/Nubian epipalaeolithic series". Keita further noted that "additional analysis using material from Sudan, late dynastic northern Egypt (Gizeh), Somalia, Asia and the Pacific Islands show the Badarian series to be most similar to a series from the northeast quadrant of Africa and then to other Africans". Moreover, Keita criticised the methodology of the 1993 Brace study for excluding "the Maghreb, Sudan, and the Horn of Africa" from the designated Sub-Saharan group samples which he argued was nearly categorised and "(incorrectly)" as monolithic". Keita further commented on the findings of Boyce that whilst the "post-Badarian southern predynastic and a late dynastic northern series (called "E" or Gizeh) cluster together, and secondarily with Europeans", in the primary cluster with Egyptian groups there were also remains representing populations from ancient Sudan and recent Somalia.[14]

She proposed that the apparent development of an increasingly African body plan over time may also be due to Nubian mercenaries being included in the Middle Kingdom sample. 

In 2023, Christopher Ehret reported that the physical anthropological findings from the “major burial sites of those founding locales of ancient Egypt in the fourth millennium BCE, notably El-Badari as well as Naqada, show no demographic indebtedness to the Levant”. Ehret specified that these studies revealed cranial and dental affinities with "closest parallels" to other longtime populations in the surrounding areas of Northeastern Africa “such as Nubia and the northern Horn of Africa”. He further commented that the Naqada and Badarian populations did not migrate “from somewhere else but were descendants of the long-term inhabitants of these portions of Africa going back many millennia”. Ehret also cited existing, archaeological, linguistic and genetic data which he argued supported the demographic history.

Pre and very early dynasty evidence

Ivory statue of a 1st through 2nd dynasty ruler at the British museum compared to a man of The Shilluk of Southern Sudan Renowned old school Egyptologist WM Flinders Petrie identified the statue as Nubian, based on appearance. In his early 20th century book, Making of Egypt, he relates this very statue to the predynastic Nubian people (Aunu), on page 68...in reference to picture 10, plate XXXVII (illustrations few pages after). In the paragraph above it, he says these Aunu were an indigenous race and occupied Southern Egypt and Nubia (N Sudan). He felt that Menes was a different type, but I spotted his appearance in the Shilluk people.

Here's one that somehow came to the opposite conclusion (Hmmm...?).

A 1993 craniofacial study performed by C. Loring Brace et al reached the view that "The Predynastic of Upper Egypt and the Late Dynastic of Lower Egypt are more closely related to each other than to any other population. As a whole, they show ties with the European Neolithic, North Africa, modern Europe, and, more remotely, India, but not at all with sub-Saharan Africa, eastern Asia, Oceania, or the New World

In 2011, Michelle Raxter examined the changes in limb proportions and body sizes in ancient Egyptians in a worldwide and regional comparative thesis study. The study featured 92 males and 528 female samples which included skeletal remains from the Badarian period. The Egyptian body sizes were compared with Nubian samples, as well as to modern Egyptian samples and other higher and lower latitude populations. Overall, the study found that "Ancient Egyptians have more tropically adapted limbs in comparison to body breadths, which tend to be intermediate when plotted against higher and lower latitude populations. These results may reflect the greater plasticity of limb lengths compared to body breadth. The results might also suggest early Mediterranean and/or Near Eastern influence in Northeast Africa". Raxter also acknowledged that a larger sample collection from the early and late predynastic groups would have enabled "closer examination of biolog

A limestone statue of a woman and her daughter from...12th Dynasty represents a seated woman with her legs stretched out in front of her while her daughter sits on her legs to comb her hair to trim it.

If one can look at the Beja, who live nearby N. Sudan and Southeast Egypt, and seriously doubt a "black" presence in ancient Egypt, then it's not intellectually honest. The mummy of Ahmose Inhapi has the same hairstyle and hair type as the girl on the lower right. Beja/Bishari people tend to have coarse straight, loosely curled, frizzy, and half frizzy almost stringy look

Even a close up of mummies like Ahmose Inhapi, Lady Rai, or Nesitanebetashru seem to show wool at the base, and unloosening of braids forming a curly-q look at the ends. Old grainey pictures can be misleading.

This 1992 Museum of Fine Arts publication on ancient Nubian culture proves that mainstream academia recognizes the hairstyles as leaning more towards black culture. Nodjmet of dynasty 20 is compared to girls from inner Sudan on page 56 - 57.https://archive.org/details/Nubia

This micro braided hairstyle was more commonly worn by blacks over time for convenience and necessity more than style - due to the hairtexture. It's far more innate and continuous in these populations. Scroll to … "Black Hair during slavery and a historical view of afro-textured hair." Here's a quick excerpt… "Plaits, braids and cornrows were the most convenient hairstyles to keep their hair neat and maintained for a week…". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_hair#:~:text=Plaits%2C%20braids%20and%20. .

The purpose is not to establish a connection with West Africa, and Egypt, but to show these hairstyles are innate in black and black adjacent cultures…. and sometimes worn in the form of a wig though natural as well. Even African American young ladies, who are often teased for extensions, will still twist them into micro braids. It's not that far off from the practices of their West and Central African ancestors.

Have to point out that these are actual faces of Akhenaten and Nefertari because it's taken from a cast mold. THIS MEANS YOU'RE LOOKING AT THEM. See museum link below picture for more on this technique of sculptor Thutmose. As we see the museum label once informed us that it's one of the plaster molds, but now just says portrait heads. The following picture is not from the YouTuber

The following description is from the Egyptian Museum in Berlin, about one plaster cast mask (Inv.-No. ÄM 21356), but it really speaks on the technique of all portraits like it of the era. Most are from the ancient artist Thutmose of the Achet-Aton (today called Amarna), in Middle Egypt, which was the capital of Egypt during the reign of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. It reads… This portrait study gives a unique view of the work technique of the artist; first a form was taken directly from the subject"s face and a gypsum copy was made from the mould. The copy was then finished by the sculptor in various details, especially the eyes since these had to be closed when the mask was taken from the face. In these rare instances we are directly confronted with 'real' people even if we do not know their names or anything else about them.

All of the following are from the early dynasty of ancient Egypt (4th-6th). These were all taken between the latter 1800s - early 1900s. Notice the male and female couple in the top pictures. Both are painted in a dark tint. The one in color is from modern times (apparently). You can clearly see something is amiss in tone when the color photo is changed to black and white. Yellow, seen on the lady, doesn't translate to the same contrast as the original old photo. Even the male seems compromised in tonal value, and necklace deliberately darkened. Both have paint missing where it is in tact in old photos (museum/university links under photos to see original old pictures). More at the bottom of this compilation to illustrate the old and new pictures are the same statue, but major changes

Perhaps... Seminar for women education Aswan From the article:- …Association of Egyptian Female Lawyers implemented a seminar which aimed at developing and enhancing the presentation skills of women leaders. The seminar focused on a number of topics such as the current political situation and how much it affects women’s living conditions, the role of women in Upper Egypt… …

Vizer Idi of the 6th dynasty. From "A Provincial Statue of the Egyptian Sixth Dynasty (pg 17) 1962, Henry G. Fischer. The one of him in the Metropolitan Museum today looks totally different.

Nefu with wife

The two top pictures show early dynasty statues of a man and woman (Nefu and wife, 5th dynasty). A Nubian Egyptian couple dance at a celebration in Aswan (bottom) - from the documentary "Struggles Over The Nile - Masters No More". To me, the idea of the dark reddish brown color sometimes representing a recognizably "black" person, and the yellow color of a common Northern Egyptian or western Asiatic woman, comes directly alive in this scene

We have another one with the same diminished color in the newer pictures vs the ones from a century ago

Bottom three in above pictures are more clear. On the University/Museum link, they are in the 8th panel down in side pictures

Egyptian Nubian man (second row on left), early dynastic figurines, and an old photo of East African young men.

Bust of a BaKongo Young Lady of West Africa (between Angola and Congo along Atlantic coast), bronze, by British sculptor and African explorer Herbert Ward (1863-1919) . Orsay's Museum. Paris. France. The young lady on the bottom right is from that area in West Africa, and bottom left is of the Oromo clan of east Africa.

The purpose is to show that since time immemorial, these hairstyles are more innate and continuous in people of a "black" persuasion worldwide, and not to suggest a connection between Egypt and Nubia to West and Central Africa

Man of the Middle Kingdom, Walter's Museum

Ladies of Northern Sudan and a Egyptian princess of the 18th dynastic period. They will remind us that the statue of the young lady on the top left is a servant, because she does look black African (however, Egyptian as far as we know), but the princess looks more so on the right. It's strongly believed she was a child of Tiye.

Though labeled a "prince" on some sites (...?), a inscription reads... Princess, great of favour, Lady of the Two Shores, the Beloved, [2] the Desired, Mistress of Upper and Lower Egypt great of [3] splendour, the 'Holy Jewelry' , the great royal wife Tiye, may she live." Anyone can visually see this is a Young lady of the "black" persuasion

For the pictures above, the caption in French translates to english ... 3rd 5.3f Fig. 5.3a-f: quartzite statues. Fig. 5.3a – New York MM 12.183.6: royal head (early 13th century d.).

Fig. 5.3b – Boston 28.1: face of a dignitary (just saying he's a dignitary is kind of vague and "nebulous". Forces me to wonder if it's actually Senusret III or his son Amenenehat III in a more realistic and less stylized manor. Notice the faint stripes of the nemes head cloth.)
