I met a Melanesian in the GTA.

Today, I met an indigenous Melanesian at the nail salon. Of course I chatted with her like an old friend. She’s from somewhere I’ve never been; this was my first time meeting a Melanesian; and the word Melanesian screams black! If you know me, then you know that the conversation has to include ancient history, indigenous languages and DNA results.

We discussed at lot. Very interesting history and how it links to the other islands/countries of Southern Asia. It was music to my ears listening to her explaining how melanated they are; and how earnest they are in ensuring that their children (born in the Diaspora) know at least one of their indigenous languages.

I was impressed. I respect people who live in the Diaspora and continue to pass the history and culture down to the children.

Evidence from ancient Egyptian art and archaeology shows:

Men were often painted reddish-brown or dark brown; and women were usually painted lighter yellow-brown in artistic convention. Their hair textures varied from tightly curled, wavy, braided, to shaved heads. Their skin tones likely ranged from light brown to deep brown depending on region, ancestry, and sun exposure.

The very earliest dynasties, including the 1st Dynasty, emerged from Upper Egypt in the south, which had strong cultural and biological connections with Nubian and Saharan populations. Many scholars believe these early populations were generally darker-skinned than the pale portrayals common in older Western art.

Ancient Egyptian art itself gives more diversity than many modern reconstructions. For example, tomb paintings and statues show dark reddish-brown skin; tightly coiled hairstyles; broad noses; and varied facial structures

The People of Ancient Egypt

The people of ancient Egypt — especially in the early dynastic period — were indigenous Northeast Africans living in the Nile Valley. Their appearance likely varied widely, much like populations in modern Egypt and Sudan today.

Evidence from ancient Egyptian art and archaeology shows:
Men were often painted reddish-brown or dark brown; and women were usually painted lighter yellow-brown in artistic convention. Their hair textures varied from tightly curled, wavy, braided, to shaved heads with wigs. Their skin tones likely ranged from light brown to deep brown depending on region, ancestry, and sun exposure.

Did the 1st Dynasty lay the foundation for the civilization of Ancient Egypt (KMT), or was was was foundation laid during the Pre-dynastic Period?

The rulers of Egypt’s 1st Dynasty were the earliest pharaohs to govern a unified Egypt after Upper and Lower Egypt were joined into one kingdom around 3150 BC. This period marks the beginning of dynastic Egyptian civilization.

Major Pharaohs of the 1st Dynasty

* Narmer — often credited with unifying Egypt
* Hor-Aha
* Djer
* Den — one of the strongest early rulers
* Anedjib
* Semerkhet
* Qa’a — usually considered the final ruler of the dynasty

Population During the 1st Dynasty

Historians estimate Egypt’s population during the 1st Dynasty was roughly:

* 200,000 to 1 million people
* Most estimates cluster around 500,000–800,000

The population lived almost entirely along the Nile River because the surrounding desert was too harsh for large settlements.

What the Population Was Like

Most Egyptians were:

* Farmers growing wheat, barley, flax
* Herders of cattle, sheep, and goats
* Craftsmen, potters, and stone workers
* Fishermen along the Nile

A much smaller elite class included:

* Priests
* Scribes
* Officials
* Royal family members

Important Features of 1st Dynasty Egypt

* The capital was likely at Memphis
* Writing (early hieroglyphs) became more organized
* Large tombs called mastabas were built
* Kings were viewed as divine rulers
* Trade expanded into Nubia and the Levant

The 1st Dynasty laid the foundations for the civilization that would last more than 3,000 years.
