She was a Bronze Age woman who lived 3,700 years ago. She was found in an unusual grave. Instead of being buried in the ground, Ava's tomb was carved into rock, suggesting that she was an important person.

A woman called Regina Huarmey was buried more extravagantly than others. She was buried with jewels and other precious objects, including gold earrings, a silver chalice, a copper ceremonial axe, and expensive fabrics. In those days, fabrics were considered more valuable than gold and silver due to the amount of work and time needed to weave them.

After careful examination, it was revealed that Huarmey Queen spent most of her time sitting, and that she worked her upper body by practicing weaving. It was also evident that this woman's expertise in the matter was of great importance because her tomb was filled with weaving tools made of gold.

Remains of Cro-Magnon Man have been found in France, but this species probably also lived in the United Kingdom.

Cro-Magnons were the first Homo Sapiens who lived in Europe approximately 40,000 to 10,000 years ago, during the Upper Paleolithic. “According to recent DNA research, early Cro-Magnons like this one had very dark skin.”

The famous King Tutankhamon, pharaoh of ancient Egypt, who died in 1323 BC, rebuilt in 2005.

Tutankhamon was nine years old when he became Pharaoh and reigned for about ten years. His tomb in the Valley of the Kings was almost completely intact when discovered and is the oldest Egyptian royal tomb ever discovered.

The changes between us

250,000 years ago the first humans had similar physical appearances.

They were tall, they had dark skin, with curly and black hair and their eyes were brown. Today we have different coloured skin and eyes, and types of hair.

The first man was born in Africa, there was a very hot climate and for this reason they developed a dark skin like the color of their eyes and hair. 70,000 to 80,000 years later the first migrations towards North America began, there the climate was much colder with glacial winters as a result people developed vitamin D which changed the color of their skin over the years. At the same time the populations migrated to Asia where, to protect themselves from UV rays, they developed a different form of eyes. changes among us have allowed humans to survive and adapt to the environment.

My considerations

Racism was born after the division between humanity's division into "superior" races and "inferior" races. Studies show, we were all born in the same area of the world and consequently it is useless to be racist towards ''inferior'' racial people given that we are all the same regardless of vitamin D, the melanin in our body, the shape of our eyes, the skin colour. I find it stupid to divide the world's ethnic groups into categories because there is no one superior to another.
