This is how the ancients looked pretty much, they made a great choice in casting him to play a Pharoah
certainly doesn't look european-white, but he isn't far off
if you were to define these groups with more modern sectionings
i feel like those ancient egyptians, babylonians, etc. would straddle the place between "european" and "arab"
if you just look at how the public would see one
appearance mostly
How an ancient Egyptian would look is how a Copt would look, it's that simple
How an Assyrian would look is how modern Assyrians look like
so on and so on
yes, which is what i think applies to them also
When Islam came, most of these people were not allowed to mix with the Muslim Arab settlers
i feel like assyrians and babylonians are almost lost though
the pure type
due to them being Christians
many converted i imagine
happened in europe, caucasus, etc.
why not there?
and they're what makes up the Muslim Egyptians
Copts who converted,
and are now HEAVILY
yes, i know very well
modern muslim egyptians aren't white
Far from it
what i'm thinking is that the pure assyrian/babylonian/etc. probably is near impossible to find now
becuase of how many mixed and how they just spread
especially considering the age of these civilizations and types
Bablyonians are extinct probably
Assyrians still exist, but there's like 2-3 million of them
9 Million Copts
so certainly small populations, but still exist
yes, they're still around
this argument traveled quite far from the origin
not really an argument anymore lol
Here's a Copt, for the most part actually
you can tell the difference
between an Egyptian Arab and a Copt
In upper Egypt, it tends to get harder obviously
my point is we aren't white though:
but we're another eastern Mediterranean peoples who descend from the Ancients, we're our own thing.
i can be inclined to agree
I find it funny how there were A LOT
