do you want to know something?? I always wondered what the hell kind of hairstyle the Ancient Egyptians were trying to portray with depictions like these

and this

until I did my hair this morning and 

oh

welp

you can take the noses off our statues but until you find a way to take Egypt out of Africa we’re still going to find ourselves

I’m reblogging this post without all the salty, racist commentary because I’m sick of looking at it. please spread this around again in its pure form for posterity.

What’s funny is that white people thought they were hats/crowns 😂

Here’s a really good post about this.

And here’s some pictures of the Afar people, who still live on the horn of Africa today.

Cool, huh?

Beautiful

People thought it was Hats and Crowns? How could they not see hair?

The same reason archaeologists, upon finding a woman’s skeleton in the grave of a famous Roman gladiator, immediately wondered where the gladiator’s skeleton was: Old Straight White Man™ brand denial.

Same way they denied the Really Gay Egyptian Tomb, too. It’s kind of a Thing.

This post is amazing, I’m so glad it exists. I have learned.

There is so much greatness in this post and all white people care about is defending why they thought the depictions are hats. White people??? Why are you like this???

No, actually, some of those were wigs. Ancient Egyptians had a huge problem with flees and were either bald or wore wigs. [x]
The wigs were braided tightly so that flees and lice couldn’t get in easily. Archeologists said they were wigs and hats because most of them were, not because they were “hiding black excellence from the world”.

Ancient Egypt was very diverse at the time and many ethnicities lived there ranging from natives, nubians, greeks etc. to persians. Not saying there weren’t that many sub-saharian africans there. I’m saying it’s not all “WE WUZ KANGZ N SHEET” you know…

^^^^^^

I really dont know how they can make every post about white people, i was looking at the original one when scrolling and thought ‘’hey thats really cool!’’ but then all these people like come on

why would people assume that the blue haired egyptians  were wearing hats?

could it be because the things on their heads were fucking blue?
