So if they claimed the pyramids - why didn't the earlier pharoahs who built cruder version - and those after them - take over the giza pyramids?
Why did the workers think they built the pyramids?
Why are the quarries filled with 4th dynasty rubble?
Also, technically the Egyptians are in Africa so they are Africans.
You had a lot in that statement so if you don't mind we'll cut it up into smaller chunks.

The annals of Rameses II (1304-1237BC) specifically mention the Canaanites (Jews) settling at Goshen, although standard Bible chronology has the Exodus occurring in 1491BC. Since Genesis 47:11,Exodus 1:11 and Numbers 33:3 all refer to the land of Rameses, it seems that the alternative Egyptian reckoning is more accurate.

Ramses II was King Solomon

You seem to wrapped up in geography of Africa, as it was arbitrary named, I don't see your point. If you wish Europe and Africa are acutally part of the Asian continent.
So basically we have just two continents, The Americas and Asia. The history of the world simplified. LOL
The point is that few people seem to ponder the underlying reason why so many argue against racism as a major motivation for teaching the falsehood. The groups that we have grown up in have made us the way we are, mostly. Racist vitriole is my point. We are taught to be what we are. Everybody denies they are racist. We are all biased, but we all can teach our children to share a kinder, more accepting, humble, respectful, common point of view, I hope, though I do not see it happening soon.

Blackguard, I am not disputing that there were Nubian rulers in Egypt both before and after the Hyksos. Before the Hyksos left some of the Pharoahs were mixed.
Now as to "racist" - tell me - If I had said that all the pharoahs were black, would that have looked racist to you?
I have a curiosity about hstory that includes wanting to know what the people looked like, don't you?
The fact remains that there are blonde and red haired mummies, not only in Egypt, but all over the world. That is simply a statment of fact, which I think is pretty interesting considering that we have all thought that other races and only these others were always in certain areas.

I've seen one too many dissertations on numbers, measurements, and their intrinsic meanings. The formations at Cydonia on mars come to mind, especially with the talk of pyramids.
If you play with numbers long enough, you will come up with whatever you want. Likewise, if you look through the bible long enough, you can support any view that you want to take.

BG13 do you want to have Egypt's civilization included in "African" history so that the other "lesser" cultures of Africa don't seem so insignificant when compare to others? Kinda the way Europe take on the culture of Greece?
