Top: Menes, the unifier of Upper and Lower Egypt. Middle: Menhotep II, pharaoh of the Middle Kingdom. Bottom: Rameses the Great, from the tomb of Queen Nefertari. Despite the appropriation of Ancient Egypt by Eurocentric propaganda, the primary source depictions remind us that the falsifying of Black classical civilizations cannot outstrip the reality of legitimate artifacts. Meanwhile, the Fayum paintings of the first and second centuries, and the Ottoman slave trade (Turkey) of Europeans into Egypt through the late 1800s, remind us that societies are forever changing and evolving.
