I have heard that the pictures on the tombs of the Pharoahs in Egypt have undergone chemical analysis, and experts have determined that the original paint color has faded.
I don't know to what degree, but most experts agree that the pictures of people on the walls of the tomb were originally much darker in pigment.
...Does anyone know anything about this?

Well, even if we assume that the coloring has faded, the features of most pharoahs, and AEs in general, are undoubtedly caucasoid.

I doubt its true at all. I also doubt experts have reached any sort of consensus on this.

When I draw Caucasions, they rarely look like this.... ![](http://www.mythfolklore.net/3043mythfolklore/images/egypt/egypt_tomb.jpg) or this... ![](http://www.pierluigisurace.it/imagerie/images/aatw/DOT_Egypt_Tomb_of_Ramose_1.jpg) They look more like this.... ![](http://epguides.com/DickVanDykeShow/cast.jpg) Seriously dude.... Here's an example of a Caucasion Mummy. From the Bogs in Denmark. It's 2,500 years old, and it's definitely caucasion. ![](http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/chinamum/images/bog.jpeg) And this guy looks more like the guy who serves me up Chicken Kung-Po at Rucky-Fuks Chinese food place, then any Caucasion I know... ![](http://www.sas.upenn.edu/African_Studies/Egypt_GIFS/King_11537.gif) Give it up... Egyptians were NOT remotely Caucasion.

The reality of the Caucasian race is not the tripe you see on the census, CooCooCachoo.
The Egyptians are difficult. They have copper skin but for the most part Caucasoid features (there are exceptions, but that is to be expected... Egypt is in Africa, after all). This combination is usually indicative of the Aethiopid race, but we can't be sure that the reddish pigmentation is not just an exaggeration of how the Egyptians viewed their own sunburnt bodies. The Minoans had a similar style and they certainly were Caucasian.

Until you read around a bit and at least get the basics, refrain from posting. I don't think you even know what a Caucasian IS. (notice correct spelling).

If he were literate enough to read the census, he would see that "Middle Easterners and North Africans", among whom are many people with copper or brown skin, are classified as Caucasian. The fact is that even pitch-black Indian Dravidians can be Caucasian, obviously Egyptians who were lighter than that were too.

I guess the question is... how broad do you want the definition of Caucasian to be? (Notice the correct spelling.) If you notice, in the first drawing, with the tomb murals, there IS a white woman tending to the makeup or fanning the darker Egyptian whom is portrayed as much larger, and clearly in a position of power. I think it's pretty safe to say that Caucasians were not the ones in charge in Egypt.

Modern day Caucasians like Egyptians, Arabs, Pakistanis, Indians are often copper, red-skinned, or brown, are they not Caucasian?

Ancient Egyptians are in the general range of modern Northeast Africans IMO. Everything from skin color to facial shape suggests this.
They were not West African, nor Northern European, nor Martian. They were NE Africans.

They were NE Africans. If you believe in this, then you should ban all those trolls saying that there was a back-up of the egyptian population: -Kame. -TopDog. -CooCooCachoo. Etc. If you don't, people will get irritated and reactions like that of Crimson will be usual.
