The tomb of King Ka.

In the tomb of King Ka (first dynasty) at Abydos, Petrie found a


plaque showing an Indo-European captive in chains with his hands
behind his back.17 Elliott-Smith considers that the individual
represented is a Semite. The dynastic epoch has also yielded the
documents illustrated in Pls 1.9. and 1.14 showing Indo-European
and Semitic prisoners. In contrast, the typically negroid features of
the pharaohs (Narmer, first dynasty, the actual founder of the
Pharaonic line; Zoser, third dynasty, by whose time all the
technological elements of the Egyptian civilization were already in
evidence; Cheops, the builder of the Great Pyramid, a Cameroon
type,18 Menthuhotep, founder of the eleventh dynasty, very
black,19 Sesostris 1; Queen Ahmosis Nefertari; and Amenhophis I)
show that all classes of Egyptian society belong to the same black
race.Cheikh Anta Diop
