Egyptians complain over Netflix depiction of Cleopatra as black

 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-65322821

Zahi Hawass, a prominent Egyptologist and former antiquities minister, told the al-Masry al-Youm newspaper: "This is completely fake. Cleopatra was Greek, meaning that she was light-skinned, not black."

Mr Hawass said the only rulers of Egypt known to have been black were the Kushite kings of the 25th Dynasty (747-656 BC).

"Netflix is trying to provoke confusion by spreading false and deceptive facts that the origin of the Egyptian civilisation is black," he added and called on Egyptians to take a stand against the streaming giant.

  1. Replacing Whites with Blacks is diversity. Replacing Blacks with Whites is racism!
    But seriously, isn't the reason that Avraham Avinu hid Sarah Imeinu when they went on their Egyptian tour because the Egyptians were Black and would become uncontrollably lustful at the sight of a White woman?
