The caste system, not the colour or darkness of one's skin, determined one's station in life. Nubian did not mean “slave” or “peasant”. The ancient Egyptians were dark skinned, and skin colour did not determine social position or role.
The rich variety of Egyptian myths, illustrates their rich and sophisticated religious and philosophical lives as they sought to explain the mysteries of the universe.
Reflections:
Do you think they are so different from the modern day people in their religious and philosophical beliefs?
