This is the Wikipedia article about the oldest known Egyptian mummies, that predate Dynastic Egypt by about a millennia. They lived over 5,000 years ago and are very well preserved.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebe...nastic_mummies

Four mummies total. One of the male mummies has red hair, the female mummy has long brown hair. How many African blacks with red or long brown hair do you know of ?
If they were not Black Africans like the rest of Africa was at that time, then what race were they and were did this unknown race originate from?

Africa was never entirely black African in historical time for two reasons:

1) The back migrations that brought Asians and Europeans into Africa started in the paleolithic.

2) North Africa is not tropical, but is similar in lattitude to the middle east. Therefore even the Africans that evolved in situ looked more similar to middle easterners than black Africans.

The answer to who the ancient Egyptians were is the same as to who the modern Egytpians are: a mixture of black Africans, horners, North Africans, middle easterners, and Europeans.

If that's true then the physical appearances of the ancient Egyptians would have varied. Is this why they painted themselves in that reddish brown color as a way to portray themselves with one uniformed look since they all varied in appearance because of their mixture?

This has been discussed at length on this forum you can search the various threads on the forum for the answer. Ancient Egyptians painted depictions of human forms utilizing shades and colors other than reddish brown. Specific colors also had particular symbolic meanings.

The redish brown probably represents some kind of average mean shade, although they absolutely did depict themsevles in various ways. Some depicitons due look "black," others have blue eyes.

I wonder if anyone is egyptian, and ever bothred to read the plates or knows that egyptian painted most of figures in brown, and was a way of painting almost everything animals, and buildings.
Numibians where invaders and nomads if you read the plates, and have been seen as outsiders to egypt in the end of era of egyptians ,when the empire was at the end and could not protect itself.

Read the history and plates, contrary to Moderator cut: bleep american blacks and jews try to sell.
Another fact the pyramids, where not build by slaves, but from egyptians in contrary to what Moderator cut: bleep america hollywood jews and blacks try to sell, and yet another lie is sold as research.
Latest dna and arciologic research proved that.

Egyptian dna, going back and now had/has the arabic features as the main, in all researches.
There isnt a single dna proof to prove they where another race.

But tell that to thickheaded american black supremacist that has not even bother to study any anything of egyptian, forget about old egyptian caligraphs, yet is becoming an expert of history. More like a propagandistic Moderator cut: bleep that try to steal others culture.

They repeat the propaganda that they where mixed, instead.
Numibian didn't apear in egypt till the end of the egyptian empire and than not only egyptian considered them outsiders but nomad invaders. The are towns build for them outside because regular egyptians, back than and now did not consider them egyptians for same reasion.
If anything all this propaganda is done by blacks in america, lead by political groups behind the curtains for political gains , becuse this gruop has a low self esteem, identity crisis and want to fit in ,and steal others cultures.

Really? Source? What were they considered until the 1920s, African?

I don't think Europeans try to claim credit for Ancient Greeks' accomplishments, but they do understand it has been the cradle of Western civilization.

Here's an example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism

That's why despite the financial crisis, it's been said that without Greece, there's no Europe. Heck, the word Europe is of Greek origin.

On Egyptian influences, the Greeks kept a trading post/city called 'Naucratis' in Egypt.

From Wiki: "Archaeological evidence suggests that the history of the ancient Greeks in Egypt dates back at least to Mycenaean times and more likely even further back into the proto-Greek Minoan age. This history is strictly one of commerce as no permanent Greek settlements have been found of these cultures to date."

Possibly the influence was mutual. (Note: The Minoans go back to about 3600BC, even before Early Dynastic Egypt times.) Also, Ancient Greeks were of IndoEuropean stock (Dorians) mixed with indigenous populations/tribes, i.e. Pelasgians which inhabited Thessaly, but who also had colonized Asia Minor/present day Turkey. I really doubt they had significant African admixture, though they were known to have slaves.

I won't even bother to address your other pseudoscience, but the name of Russia (Rus') comes from the Old Norse word of 'ros' and 'rosmen', which means to 'row' and 'men who row'. Ro = row. The Kievan Rus' was founded by these Swedish vikings from Roslagen, a historical area just north of present day Stockholm, and the birthplace of the Kingdom of Sweden.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roslagen

Well, what is between Sweden and Russia? It's Finland. In Finnish 'Ruotsi' is the name of Sweden, because the men who oar naturally reached Finland before heading further east, hence giving the name. Russia in Finnish and Estonian again is 'Venäjä' and 'Venemaa', most likely coming from the Wends, a West Slavic tribe living in modern Germany and Poland.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wends

The assumption that Russia and Etruscans would have anything in common is as far-fetched I would be a descendant of Columbus because my second name is Cristopher.
