I've been hearing ancient Egypt referred to as a black society and that white people are trying to steal its history.

So before anybody answers this question to say what race actually lived in ancient Egypt do this:
look at the art and the mummies. specifically, look at what each person in the art is doing compared to other people.


look at this website for ancient egypt art and it explains

Many historians have claimed that the ancient Egyptians were black.
I however, think that is incorrect. They were obviously dark toned (not dark but not anglo saxon white!), but I definitely wouldn't classify them as black.

To answer your title question, no one is trying to "placate" history or distort it. The fact is history is just a bunch of theories, and many have their own wild theories. We just decide which ones we want to believe.
I find it funny you came to yahoo answers to post this. Hilarious actually.
What is even more amusing is the fact that you honestly think that their are people who would be willing to change the accomplishments of their race to appease blacks. Gosh I love internet users.
 
Well one problem is that surprisingly, thousands of years ago people were probably a lot more accepting than people nowadays. There were black Egyptians, some of the Egyptian pharaohs may have also been Hebrew (referred to as Hapiru). They were most definitely dark-toned, but nothing is being placated, at least not by scholars.
 
how can "white people" steal another cultures history? whoever is saying that is an idiot.
 
I think that what happens to you country after bringing in a bunch of different races as slave. It happened in America why not Egypt too. When Lower and Upper Egypt were unified c. 3150 BC, the distinction began to blur, resulting in a more "homogeneous" population in Egypt, though the distinction remains true to some degree to this day. Some biological anthropologists such as Shomarka Keita believe the range of variability to be primarily indigenous and not necessarily the result of significant intermingling of widely divergent peoples. Keita describes the northern and southern patterns of the early predynastic period as "northern-Egyptian-Maghreb" and "tropical African variant" (overlapping with Nubia/Kush) respectively. He shows that a progressive change in Upper Egypt toward the northern Egyptian pattern takes place through the predynastic period. The southern pattern continues to predominate in Abydos, Upper Egypt by the First Dynasty, but "lower Egyptian, Maghrebian, and European patterns are observed also, thus making for great diversity."
 
The Nubians were dark skinned, and the Egyptians were darker skinned ... but they were still more white/Middle Eastern.
 
They are distorting history to placate muslims too. Many schools in the US and UK have erased any mention of the Holocaust because it offends muslims who deny it ever happened.
