Playing assassins creed origins right now and its a wonderful looking game, but why is everyone black/brown?
The game takes place in ancient Egypt which was occupied and ruled by european mediterraneans at the time, what reason did they do this?
Why are there all black/brown people in this game?

I'll bite
black people in ancient and modern Egypt are native northern Nubians
this game was extremely accurate with its depiction of ancient Egypt

Why Valhalla doesn't look so detailed like origins and Odyssey? Even the graphics looks worse

saw a brown dude in brotherhood yesterday instantly thought of taking a screenie and posting it on Zig Forums to cause massive seethe n' cope by Zig Forumsfags.
This site has ruined gayming for me.

As somebody with a PhD in history, you're wrong. There where even many people with blonde hair in ancient Egypt, Google it
Noah Cox
Because western gamers love it blacks everywhere in western games now :)
Ethan Miller
Brown people can exist, but why show them in ancient egypt?

Nice LARP

Black people are not native to Egypt. Nubia was in modern day Sudan. The game takes place in northern Egypt and there is no evidence there wee any black people there in ancient Egypt. Even in modern Egypt its small black population is almost entirely in the south near the Egyptian-Sudanesse border which is a very much irrelevant part of the country.

>which was occupied and ruled by european mediterraneans at the time,
Its also fucking egypt. I imagine its tough to avoid a deep swarthy as fuck tan.

Cause ancient egyptian women were literally built for BBC
William Stewart
The character you posted looks like a north african or a tanned south european. Where is the issue? That character has no nigger (sub-saharan african) qualities like huge lips or skull shape.

Picture of Cleopatra (White woman ) from the game. How is this not diversity propaganda?

If you live in hot place like that I'd doubt your skin would be white. White people are from the snow.

Its ancient Egypt moron, not modern middle africa
Elijah Sullivan
Well, I guess he looks more north african ok. But I've seen some pretty tanned south Italians.
Nathan Parker
the game is literally full of white europeans

>and there is no evidence there wee any black people there in ancient Egypt
lmao
here, from the greeks themselves
>Strabo visited Egypt and almost all the countries of the Roman empire. He concurs in that the Egyptians and the Colchoi are of the same race but holds that the migrations to Ethiopia and Colchoi had been from Egypt only. 'Egyptians settled in Ethiopia and in Colchoi.' There is no doubt whatever as to Strabo's notion of the Egyptians' race for he seeks elsewhere to explain why the Egyptians are darker than the Hindus.
>Aeschylus 525 to 456. In The Suppliants, Dañaos, fleeing with his daughters, the Danai'ds, and pursued by his brother Aegyptos with his sons, the Aegyptiads, who seek to wed their cousins by force, climbs a hillock, looks out to sea and describes the Aegyptiads at the oars afar off in these terms: 'I can see the crew with their black limbs and white tunics.'
>Aristotle attempts to establish a correlation between the physical and moral natures of living beings and leaves us evidence on the Egyptian-Ethiopian race which confirms what Herodotus says. According to him, 'Those who are too black are cowards, like for instance, the Egyptians and Ethiopians.'
>Apollodorus: Aegyptos conquered the country of the black-footed ones and called it Egypt after himself.
>Lycinus (describing an Egyptian): This boy is not merely black; he has thick lips and his legs are too thin ... his hair worn in a plait behind shows that he is not a freeman.
>Timolaus: But that is a sign of really distinguished birth in Egypt, Lycinus. All freeborn children plait their hair until they reach man-hood. It is the exact opposite of the custom of our ancestors who thought it seemly for old men to secure their hair with a gold brooch to keep it in place.

Bait thread. What'd you expect?
Luis Richardson
the nubians are native to the nile valley and they mixed with others, leading to the variety of phenotypes you see there today
but most of the artwork from ancient egpyt depicts black ass people.

A better question would be why are all the Greeks in this game white, but in Odyssey predominantly brown?
