The most enduring representation of the Kemites' conceptualization of colour and nationality can be found on the walls of the tombs of Seti I and Rameses III. Here, the four races of humankind are represented: Semites and Asians are both portrayed as white-skinned, while Nubians and Kemites are portrayed as having jet black skin (cf. Diop, 1991, p. 66; Grantham, 2004). Grantham rehearses the story that Champollion's work was falsified by his older brother, Champollion-Figeac, who censored the former's letters posthumously. Breasted and Yurco maintained the fiction of the images under review by rearranging their order, changing the colour and, most significantly, intentionally translating  
'Nahasi' (a Nubian national identity) as 'Negroes', thus linking modern, formerly enslaved Africans to the Nahasi. The only area of contestation of these depictions is whether they were painted in the New Kingdom. But there are far too many iconographic representations from the predynastic period ( 5000 BCE) to the dynastic ( 3150 BCE) period for this assertion to be dismissed. Since Diop's anthro-archaeological and craniological science postulations of 1974, and through the development, study and publication of modern genome science, it has been possible to locate the ethnicity of the Kmtu at various times throughout the predynastic and dynastic (3100-332 BCE) periods.
