[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by castratedhide: [qb] Read the OP, this passage is not trustable - as Herodotus at the same time wrote all the egyptians were BALD. [/qb][/QUOTE]It's not trust[i]worthy[/i] you mean? Even though he spoke as an eyewitness. Also the baldness is confirmed by archaeology that many Egyptians did shave their heads but that does not mean there were no Egyptians with hair at all, dummy. [QUOTE][qb]There were TWO ancient aethiopias, one sat in Asia or Arabia, the other south Africa.[/qb][/QUOTE]South Africa?! And since when did any Greeks travel as far south as south Africa? There were in fact two Aethipias but they were divided into EAST and WEST. The West Aethiopia is Africa which included Arabia since according to the Greeks Arabia began on the eastern banks of the Nile, dummy! Eastern Ethiopia represented Iran and India. By the way, the earliest references to 'Aethiopia' by the Greeks is actually ancient Canaan or the Levant! [QUOTE][qb]Afrocentrics always ignore this fact, and anywhere they see Aethiopia in classical greek writings thinks it relates to black africa.[/qb][/QUOTE]Refer to what I wrote above. Plus, the Aethiopia whom Greeks referred to the most is Western Aethiopia i.e. Africa since Greece is closer to Africa than India. [QUOTE][qb]This source is not Aristotle, its pseudo-aristotle. We don't even know who wrote it, secondly its incredibly late - by this time egypt was a melting pot.[/qb][/QUOTE]This is dumb comment. Even if Egypt was a melting pot even the Greeks knew that its [i]native[/i] inhabitants were blacks! Lest why identify Egyptians with blacks in the first place?? Also, foreign immigrations to Egypt occurred from outside of Africa, so your point of melting pot is null. [QUOTE][qb]No one denies there were blacks in ancient egypt, however the founders, builders etc of egypt were never black.[/qb][/QUOTE]And this is based on what other than your racist conjectures of blacks not able to produce civilization?? You realize that archaeology shows pharonic civilization developed in the south NOT in the north and thus was the creation of indigenous i.e. BLACK Africans. [QUOTE][qb]The context here is a SLAVE (i believe the setting is on a ship) not a native egyptian.[/qb][/QUOTE]Hey moron. Did you not read the whole thing? The guy was mistaken to call him a slave due to his [i]plaited hair[/i] because in Egypt, plaited and braided type hair was the common style as it is in many parts of Africa and NOT a sign of slavery as it is in Greece! Thus Lycinus was corrected. [QUOTE][qb]'Blackfoot' does not mean black skinned.[/qb][/QUOTE]Then what do you think it means? That they painted their feet black? [b]LOL[/b] [QUOTE][qb]There are hundreds of greek mythological figures with the name 'black foot' (Greek: Melampus), yet they are physically described as white skinned in the ancient texts. Blackfoot was just a nickname. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melampus [/qb][/QUOTE]^ From your own wiki-source! "[i]He [Melampus] was the introducer of the worship of Dionysus, according to Herodotus, who asserted that his powers as a seer were derived [b]from the Egyptians[/b][/i]" [b]LMAOH[/b] :D You obviously don't realize that there were in fact many black Africans who figured prominently in Greek myth, usually either Egyptian or Libyan! [QUOTE][qb]The correct translation is 'dark' not black. http://classics.mit.edu/Aeschylus/suppliant.html [/qb][/QUOTE]WRONG as usual, moron! The correct translation IS black as the word melano! [QUOTE][qb]The correct translation is ''somewhat dark'', see my OP where i covered the latin.[/qb][/QUOTE][b]LOL[/b] Sorry but translating BLACK into dark cannot save you. [QUOTE][qb]Afrocentrics also cut off this quote too early, as Ammianus says that their skin shows signs of being RUDDY, and of course hemoglobin only shows under lightish skin.[/qb][/QUOTE]Actually the correct description is reddish as in dark copper NOT ruddy as in rosy skinned! [b]LOL[/b] Your pathetic attempts at distortion cannot fool anyone! [QUOTE][qb]This is typical to find in early Christian literature. The early christians invented a division of race based on noahs three sons - ham as black, japheth as white and shem as brown or 'medium' skin coloured. It has no basis in fact. These sources are useless. [/qb][/QUOTE] :eek: So even if the early Christians and Jews invented this tripart racial division, that still does not explain away the FACT that they described the Egyptians as BLACK you idiot! Why weren't they described as white or of descending from Japheth instead, if according to you they were really white?! [b]LMAO[/b] :D [IMG]http://images3.cafepress.com/image/31628173_400x400.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
