Race of the Egyptians

In Sex & Race J.A. Rogers says on page 46 that, "some of the races of the rulers of this dynasty are clearly Negroid. The founder of this dynasty, Sa-Nekht, was a full blooded Negro, a type commonly seen in the Egyptian Army today."

he then goes on to say on p. 48 that,
"Sir E.A. W. Budge, gives a list of the Egyptian gods that originated in teh Sudan, the land of the Negroes, and says there is "Little doubt that the Great God of Memphis, Ptah was originally a great handicraftsman and worker in metals who as deified. It was the Negroes in the South who introduced the use of iron into Ancient Egypt. Prehistoric iron furnaces discovered in Northern Rhodesia, almost in the heart of Africa, by Nino Del Grande, show that the Negro knew the use of iron untold centuries before the European. Archaeologists generally agree that it was the Negro who first discovered the secret of iron."

Tubal Cain was of course the first known artificer in brass & iron. Both Budge and Rothers refute the popular sentiment found in use in US Textbooks that still insist that the true Ancient Egyptian was some sort of Indo-European.
