one used to the brunette Mediterranean sort; in another part, disturbing the story of the Dodonian Prophet, he again implies the dim shade of the Egyptians as unimaginably dull and shockingly dim. Æschylus, referring to a boat seen from the shore, declares that its gathering are Egyptians, because of their dim appearances.

Current assessments, with all their surrendered hindrances, show that in the Thebaid from one-seventh to 33% of the Egyptian people were Negroes, and that of the predynastic Egyptians not precisely half could be classed as non-Negroid. As per assessments in the entombment spots of blue-bloods as late as the eighteenth line, Negroes structure in any event sixth of the more prominent class. 1

Such assessments are by no means whatsoever, persuading, but they can be under rather than over decrees of the inescapability of Negro blood. Head assessments of Negro Americans would probably put an enormous piece of them in the class of whites. The confirmation of language moreover interfaces Egypt with Africa and the Negro race rather than with Asia, while severe capabilities and social customs generally go to support this evidence.

The ethnic history of Upper east Africa would show up, as needs be, to have been this: predynastic Egypt was settled by Negroes from Ethiopia. They were of contrasted type: the sweeping nosed, wooly-haired sort to which "Negro" is on occasion confined; the dull, wavy haired, more sharpened included sort, which ought to be seen as a comparatively Negroid assortment. These Negroes met and mixed with the going after Mediterranean race from North Africa and Asia. In this manner the blood of the sallower race spread south and that of the more dark race north. Dull clergymen appear in Crete 3,000 years before Christ, and Arabia is right up until here and now totally immersed with Negro blood. Perhaps, as Chamberlain expresses, "one of the superb motivations behind why no advancement of the sort of that of the Nile arose in various bits of the central area, assuming that something like this were at all potential, was that Egypt went probably as a sort of channel by which the virtuoso of Negro-land was drafted off into the assistance of Mediterranean and Asiatic culture." 2

To one familiar with the striking and exquisite sorts rising up out of the mixing of Negro with Latin and Germanic sorts in America, the question of the Egyptian kind is conveniently tended to. It was not typical for any of its neighbors and a remarkable sort until one viewpoints the high level mulatto; by then the embodiments of Rahotep and Nefert, of Khafra and Amenemhat I,

of Aahmes and Nefertari, and even of the unique Ramessu II, become curiously regular.

The verifiable setting of Egypt is a science in itself. Preceding the standard of the essential recorded ruler, 5,000 years or more before Christ, there had successfully existed in Egypt a culture and craftsmanship arising by lengthy improvement from the hours of paleolithic man, among an especially Negroid people. Around 4777 B.C. Aha-Mena began the first of three moderate Egyptian spaces. This got through 2,000 years, with various Pharaohs, as Khafra of the Fourth Tradition, of a determinedly Negroid cast of face.

Close to the completion of the period the domain fell to pieces into Egyptian and Ethiopian parts, and a quietness of three centuries came about. It is entirely possible that an attack of vanquishing people of variety from the south poured over the land in these years and seen Egypt in the accompanying many years with tourist spots on which the full-blooded Negro sort is decidedly and successfully amazed. The exceptional Sphinx at Gizeh, so conspicuous to every one of the world, the Sphinxes of Tanis, the figure from the Fayum, the model of the Esquiline at Rome, and the Mammoths of Bubastis all address dull, full-blooded Negroes and are depicted by Petrie as "having high cheek bones, level checks, both in one plane, a colossal nose, firm projecting lips, and thick hair, with a bleak and basically savage explanation of power." 1

Blyden, the exceptional present day dull head of West Africa, said of the Sphinx at Gizeh: "Her features are unequivocally of the African or Negro sort, with 'expanded nostrils.' If, by then, the Sphinx was put here- - looking out in elevated and mysterious calm over the unfilled plain where when stood the mind blowing city of Memphis in the whole of its pride and splendor, as an 'huge depiction of the ruler'- - isn't the derivation clear concerning the specific kind or race to which that master had a spot?" 2

The middle space arose 3064 B.C. furthermore, continued to go just about 24 centuries. Under Pharaohs whose Negro dive is certainly self-evident, as Amenemhat I and III and Usertesen I, the old miracles of Egypt were restored and beated. At the same time there is strong steady squeezing factor from the wild and boisterous Negro families of the upper Nile valley, and we learn about the fear which they propelled all through Egypt when we read of the unbelievable public praising which followed the triumph of Usertesen III (c. 2660-22) over
