Are Sumerians and Ancient Egyptians Africans?

Sumerians: modern archaeological data prove that Sumerians are yellow people; They invented the earliest hieroglyphics of mankind-cuneiform characters: at first, pigs, cows, horses, sheep, crops and other things were painted with graphics, and later, the graphics became simpler and simpler, so they fixed the graphic symbols to form characters, carved them on clay tablets with triangular reeds, and then dried them, which could be preserved for a long time (this is essentially different from the letters created by the white Phoenicians later). Their language is close to Chinese; They created agriculture, planted crops and invented plows and wheels; They dug ditches and created the earliest irrigation system; They invented smelting technology, heated ore into liquid, extracted bronze, and used it to make tools and weapons; They created the earliest astrology, and they believed in divination. They created cities and established 12 city-states, the largest of which has 50,000 people. The characteristics of the building are: the city wall is earth-rock structure, and the house is civil structure (which is very different from the stone house structure of white people in the future).

However, the life span of Sumerian civilization is very short. About 5000 years ago, due to disunity among Sumerians, 12 city-states fought for hegemony, which greatly weakened the overall strength of Sumerians and was finally conquered by foreign Sumerians (white people). Some conquered Sumerians stayed behind and established the famous Babylonian kingdom with Sumerians. Some Sumerians mysteriously disappeared. Although the subsequent Babylonian civilization inherited a part of Sumerian civilization, it was different from Sumerian civilization, and the unique Sumerian civilization gradually disappeared permanently in the two river basins. (Note: This is just one of the viewpoints, and more archaeological proof is needed! ! ! )

Ancient Egyptians: One school thought that the earliest inhabitants of ancient Egypt were "blacks".

They put forward the "one ancestor theory" that human beings originated in Africa and primitive humans all belonged to the same race-black people. Humans first appeared in the area where the Nile originated in Africa. At that time, the climate in North Africa was mild and humid, with abundant rainfall, vegetation and forests, in which all kinds of animals were hidden. At that time, residents lived by fishing, hunting and gathering. According to Gloger's law of geography, warm-blooded animals evolved in warm and humid climate will secrete a kind of melanin (true melanin), and human beings are no exception. So the primitive humans on the earth are the same in race.

They suggest that there are only two ways for human beings to spread from this primitive region to other parts of the world: the Nile valley and the Sahara region. In the Nile valley, this diffusion occurred between the early Paleolithic and Neolithic, and it was gradually carried out from south to north. The evidence cited by the school includes: a considerable amount of melanin was found between the epidermis and dermis of mummies excavated in marietta; Greek and Latin scholars described the ancient Egyptians as Negros, including Herodotus, Aristotle, Lucian, Apollo Zorov, Aeschylus, Achilles, Tatius, Strappo, Diodo, Sikulus, diogenes, Laertes, Mi An Annous, Marcelly Yunus and others. Legends in the Bible also believe that ancient Egyptians are descendants of "Han" (Han and Han are synonymous); The ancient Egyptians called themselves KMT, from which the word "Semite" was widely used. This word also appears in the Bible in the form of "containing", which is "the most powerful word used to refer to black in Pharaoh's language"; The ancient Egyptians called their land Kmt, which means "black soil", which is different from "red soil" (that is, desert) without river irrigation. Ancient Egypt "from its Neolithic childhood to the end of the dynasty established by the local people", the residents have always been black Africans.

Another school believes that people living in ancient Egypt were "whites" as early as the pre-dynasty, although their pigments were dark or black, while blacks only appeared after the 18 dynasty. Others think that the residents have not changed since the early dynasty.

There is a mural in Abu Simbo site: one of the two rows of African prisoners of war is black, while the race of the other row of prisoners of war is difficult to determine. At that time, the racial problem of African aborigines was not as simple as people thought.

There is also a school of thought that the inhabitants of ancient Egypt were mixed-race.

The argument of this school is that it will not happen overnight for human beings to enter a valley full of thorns and wild animals. They gradually expanded and lived there for thousands of years. During this period, no matter the density of human groups or the variation of climate, they are forced to seek more resources or a safer environment. Because the entire Nile Valley, especially Egypt, is located in the northeast corner of the African continent, it will inevitably become a long-distance migration destination for people not only from other parts of Africa, but also from the Middle East.

They pointed out that according to anthropologists' research, several very old resident skeletons were found in the Nile Valley, and they were identified as Krumanon, Amish, Negro, Lukodom and others. The basic composition of hybrids varies with time and space. The inhabitants of the Nile valley could not have been a single race from the beginning until the Persian invasion.

In addition, the school pointed out that according to the different portraits of ancient Egyptian art handed down, the residents of ancient Egypt were by no means the same race. Some portraits have high cheekbones; Some are obese and have curly lips; Some noses are slightly arched; The most common thing is that the nose is big and long; A flat nose and thick lips are particularly common in the square. According to the recent research results of anthropologists, it is not reliable to distinguish the races of very old people, such as Paleolithic people, from the perspective of physique according to the nature of hair and the color of skin. (Note: There is no exact definition of ancient Egyptian race in science, and more archaeological discoveries are needed! ! ! )
