if any one on this forum understands French please translate this video ! This is the translation I found :Journalist: How looked Akhenaten? Dr. Charlier: he looked like a normal man,but he was a Black man. Do not forget that the Egyptians had black skin in antiquity ,they still have it a little right now, but they lost their blackness a little after the invasions of numerous populations in Egypt but the Egyptians- i hate the negroid word because it has a bad connotation, however it is a reality biologically speaking-but you have to imagine that the ancients had black skin more than ( the modern) do right now. His full name is Dr.Phillippe Charlier
One of the reasons that i find this important is the more European & Euro - American scientist ,scholars etc. publicly state that the ancient Egyptian were Black , Africans, the better support for a wider acceptance by the general public.I'm under no illusion that this is going to be a over night acceptance; but it is surely a step in a positive & right direction for the future & a more wholistic view & history of Africa . I'm sure the ancestors like Diop would be in agreement !
