they weren't white either. and black Africans were well known to all of Africa and the Mediterranean FAR further back than written history. Greeks aren't even white, as far as you want to use "white" as some kind of identification, it's useless other than as a racist concept to harm other people, but the most generous inclusions are pretty fucking difficult to include Greeks in. dark skin, woolly hair, blunt noses, a language distinctly outside European language roots. you got nothing.
