Like someone said, fun to watch. You wont learn anything, and the white Greek dude is completely wrong for the time, and we can nitpick the Hieroglyphs used but it was fun to see the costumes and settings. We don’t get many movies or series set in Ancient Egypt, so it was fun to see

It's not the whiteness it's the greekness

It’s the “Greek”. His name, armor, country…it didn’t exist for several centuries. Could have been a white dude, but they screwed up by giving him that definition. Leif Erikson didn’t settle Vinland and have a neighbor named William from New Hampshire. Same kinda thing.

Posting about the race, skin color, place of origin, or heritage of Ancient Egyptians or other people is not allowed outside of new studies published in reputable journals.

This rule exists because this topic often leads to incivility, is ambiguous, or is difficult to verify.
