The only people that would have been in Egypt living at that time would have been the big bro up there.
I await the nonsense like Gods and Kings.
While we have no complete certainty regarding the typical skin colour(s) of ancient Egyptians, archaeological evidence (wall paintings, etc. - even though depictions of people in Egyptian art were usually highly stylised/idealised) certainly points to the majority of ancient Egyptians not having been black (although they weren't white, either, mind you). Anthropometrically, ancient Egyptians show both traits which are more similar to those of people from tropical Africa (limb ratio), as well as traits more similar to people from the Middle East or Southern Europe (dentition).
But yes, portraying ancient Egyptians as caucasians, like certain recent Hollywood films have done, is certainly wrong and worthy of criticism.* I would argue that portraying them as completely black would be equally historically inaccurate, however. Whether the people in that particular screenshot are too light-skinned for ancient Egyptians is debatable. They certainly do look quite a bit lighter than the majority of Egyptians depicted in wall paintings. A skin tone like this would probably be more accurate (although there likely was quite a bit of variation, as there is in any population, so I'd think that there'd have been ancient Egyptians with darker and lighter skin tones than this, as well):
*(Portraying Cleopatra VII and other Ptolemies as caucasians, however, is correct as they were of mostly Macedonian descent, although we do not know who Cleopatra VII's mother was. I'm just mentioning it because there's a good number of nutjobs that get upset whenever a white woman is cast as Cleopatra.)
How many games would possibly be in an AC collection remaster. Everything up until black flag? I cant see them selling 5 games(possibly 6 if you include liberation, 7 if u include rogue as well...but I am thinking just main entries) for 60 dollars. I hope they just dont do the Ezio trilogy
I could see them sell more than one collection. One Ezio trilogy collection (maybe with the first game as a download code) and one Americas trilogy collection (ACIII, Black Flag, Rogue and possibly Liberation), maybe.
