Some of you may be familiar withh the story of the woman who was a famous Egyptian philosopher and mathematician in Rome when the bishop Cyril had her brutally murdered in 415 C.E. I was under the impression that she was Black so I wanted to use her story on the African Heroes page of my website but when I went to google to find a picture of her all the pictures I saw were of a white woman.
Now I know the original Egytians were Black but by her time the Ptolomies and everybody had pretty much created an "about face." Still, in the book The Black Man of the Nile the author portrays her as if she were Black. Do any of you have any information about this? Do you know of any pictures of her as a Black woman?
