Let's talk old. The Sphynx and the pyramids were built thousands of years ago. The romans were not even recognized as a nation when Egypt was in power. Only ones who do not believe in the bible and simple bible research will never understand. Egypt by the leadership of Joseph,son of Jacob,had interpreted the Pbaroah's dreams and helped saved the earth from starvation during the 7 year famine. The amount of wealth that was generated could not be calculated as even the Egyptians themselves became enslaved after giving eveything that had to survive the famine. Before the famine a tax system was created and was kept after. There is evidence and strong possibilities that Joseph's eldest son,Mannasseh, had been the one who led Egypt to the Americas,well before the europeans had even imagined a trip of that magnitude. Most will not believe that Egypt had ships to make this journey as the only water they were near was the Nile. Historians had reconstructed their ships and concludes that they were a superior vessel that could even cross an ocean,also Mizriam,aka Egypt, was the grandson of Noah. So the idea that they never had ships is ludicrous. The evidence of these souls being in the Americas is in the pyramids and the statues in both continents,as such as the Olmec statues and the so called Mayan pyramids that dotted all of the south and central Amreicas. The possibilities that Israelites were the first is in the descedants of Mannasseh who during the enslavement of the Israelites during the time of Moses are known as the half tribe. Where is the other half? Right here in the Americas along with the Egyptians, as we commonly call them indegenious. The surprise of the spaniards seeing black people was probably disturbing to them as catholicism was there religion and they must have realized that this was bigger than that and must be destroyed to continue the lie that the catholics had been teaching.

I'm not sure what you mean by "swarthy." There's really no need to speculate on what Romans looked like. There are lots of intact frescos from the Roman world that depict actual Roman people. You can search for Pompeii Frescoes and see lots of depictions of Romans. Like modern Italians, there's a range of complexions from very pale to quite tan. Also, according to historical descriptions, Emperor Augustus had blonde hair and grey eyes.

A bit slow moving.

Well as a tiny nation without any influence is amazing. It built some of the largest structures in the world at its time completely filled them with gold,silver and other treasures. Biblically it was a superpower as it managed to help feed and save thousands of people who were not Egyptian. If you do not believe the historical information the bible has to offer,then the roman empire was nothing but a blip in history also. Imagine building a structure so large and vast as the great pyramid that other surrounding nations would visit and produce trade. As a had said before this nation fed the earth during a famine and saved thousands who became loyal enoigh to make it even greater. Remember its art bad traveled around the world to reside in the americas and they carried it here.
