    Kevisaurus is a Carnotaurus today

    the ancient Egyptians saw themselves as darker than Asiatics and Libyans, and lighter than the Nubians, and with different facial features and body types than any of these groups.
    Quoted from: Ancient Egytian View http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt_and_race

    Skin tones were most probably darker in the south than in the north, and overall darker than in the rest of the Mediterranean basin http://www.metmuseum.org/explore/newegypt/htm/pe_like.htm

    • i am in america so has my ancesters been for 3or4 hundred years a period of time, probly mix with white races, i am still black and never saw south africa. people that are in my family are still darker than original africans today it has nothing to do with climatic mutations. jesus ran from herod an edomite king under roman rule as was egypt, but he hid there because the people were predominantly black, even moses hid in egypt from pharoah in a time more ancient than jesus.they both were in north africa.
