Acclaimed Egyptologist Dr. Zahi Hawass stated that the opinions announced by a group of Afrocentrists inside the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir have no basis in truth and are fantasies. He explained that the Black Kingdom of Kush ruled Egypt in 500 B.C., at the end of the Pharaonic civilization. When the Kingdom of Kush ruled Egypt, it did not leave any impact, it was the Egyptian civilization that influenced those people. Hawass pointed out that we will find that the features of the Egyptian king are different and do not show any characteristics that suggest he was Black. Hawass clarified that the Afrocentric movement aims to create confusion by spreading false and misleading information that the origin of Egyptian civilization is Black.
