If most Egyptians looked like those people you just posted its fair to say that very little to no Egyptians were white people. IMO, ancient Egyptians were a blend on elongated types and people like Qadaffi varying degrees, at least in the Late Dyanstic and Dynastic period with a north south gradient. i dont think qadaffi is mullato at all he looks identical to jewish composer/musician Ariel Zilber who by his name i assume to be ashkenaz I didn't say Qadaffi was a mulatto, I said the ancient Egyptians were a mix of people who looked like Horn of Africans and people who looked like Qadaffi. Mix the two and you have ancient Egyptians.

The Romans of old considered the people of the North African littoral to look similar to themselves and different from what they called Ethiopians (seen as having darker skin and very curly black hair). The Romans also noted that the Gauls were paler than they were. In escence they saw themselves as being phenotypically the same with all the people around the Mediterranean-- which makes sense. Therefore, Hannibal probably looked more like a Tony Shalhoub or an Al Pacino or a Chaz Palmintieri, not much like a Brad Pitt, or a Denzel Washington. On the other hand "it's just a movie, and it's just acting." In the past Omar Sharif played Genghis Khan, and a German doctor who survived the 30 years war, as well as a Russian doctor in that other famous movie. And so many white people have played Amerindians, Hawaiians, etc... that our whole image of them has probably changed and become much whiter, so that virtually any girl with a tan, brown/black hair, and appropriate clothing could be handing out leis at the Honolulu Intl. Airport and be thought of as a "native girl"

So he would probably look more like brad pitt. Close, but hardly accurately. Anyway, this is hollywood people. Where did you get the idea to expect any historical accuracy from it? Only beautiful naked women and a lot of explontions.

What does Denzel Washington's portryal of Hannibal have to do with Afrocentrism? This is just another weak strawman attack on Afrocentrism, considering Hollywood isn't the least bit Afrocentrist at all.
