    Calling Egyptians “African” is very Euro-centric thinking that makes the African continent a monolith of culture, when it is hundreds or thousands of cultures.

    You might as well say the Mayan people were Mexicans.

      Egyptians objectively are Africans - that doesn’t mean they are identical to Zulu, the same as Greeks and Finnish are both European, but with different cultures.

      I mean Egyptians are African though.

      very Euro-centric thinking

      Yeah the whole idea is that Europeans say anything they didn’t build was built by aliens.
