Appendix 3: White Egypt

WHITE EGYPT GALLERY 4

A collection of images from ancient Egyptian history, all of which clearly demonstrate the racial make-up of that society and how it changed - from a White racially dominated society in 3000 BC, to that civilization's swamping and overrunning by its Black Nubian and Semitic neighbors around 800 BC.

The statues of Rahotep and Nofret were discovered in 1871 in a mastaba near the pyramid of Meidum. They were members of the royal family of the Fourth Dynasty (2575 - 2467 B.C.)

As was usual for the time, the men were painted with red skins and the women with white. Below: It is the eye inlays of these two statues which are however the most interesting. (On display at the Egyptian Museum, Cairo)
