    I cant stand this b****, but i agree with the whole movie about how Africans started the world, and how advance the Egyptians were.

    Egyptians were not black. Dumb asses.

      But they were certainly not white either as portrayed in many Hollywood movies. They were definitely a Brown people. If they were located on the continent of Africa, it’s obvious that they had some sort Black heritage.

        Wrong. The ancient Egyptians were black(Nubian). It wasn’t until later did invaders come and start interbreeding which created these people known as “brown people” (mixture).

      • There once was a pimp and his h**… May 14, 2014

        This was directed toward that r***** above you.

    I was about to say that Egyptians are arabs not blacks, haha, oh and another thing, Cleopatra was white, straight descendant of greeks, i have seen may movies directed by blacks, starring blacks who portray the worst image of themselves, it’s easy to say is White people’s fault, blacks give white people too much power.

    • There once was a pimp and his h**… May 14, 2014

      Arab is not a race and the ancient Egyptians were black(Nubian) so you are still incorrect as usual.

    • Ch… May 14, 2014

      Cleopatra’s race (like most Ancient Egyptians) is debatable, because nobody knows for sure what it was and for a long time scientific racism was used to support false ideas of race. Like someone mentioned, there was plenty of mixed conception going on, so we only have theories. However, it’s pretty safe to say that Cleopatra was not white. Nobody even knows who her mama was.

    • LMAO May 14, 2014

    Y’all are the only site that still reports on this non factor and her opinions lol. No one cares about what she has to say.

  7. King May 14, 2014

    She sometimes talks too much but she’s correct in this instance.

  8. Auntie3times May 14, 2014
