Ethnicity and Skin Tone Classifications in Ancient Egypt

The image is a horizontal bar graph set against a plain light gray background. Six evenly spaced vertical bars progress from a dark brown on the left to a pale beige on the right. Each bar is associated with a specific label identifying ethnic or geographic groups ranging from 'Nubians (Sudan / South Sudan)' to 'Sea Peoples (Balkanites / Balkaners)'. The text is presented in small, sans-serif font oriented diagonally beneath each bar.

This diagram represents modern pseudo-taxonomic attempts to categorize the diverse populations of the Bronze and Iron Age Mediterranean and Northeast Africa by skin pigmentation. It reflects a contemporary effort to interpret ancient demographic historical data through the lens of modern racial typologies.
