[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tyrannosaurus: [qb] I wouldn't rule out Ancient Egyptian ancestry for some West Africans or black Americans, but significant levels are unlikely. They probably do share Saharan ancestors with AEs though.[/qb][/QUOTE]It is more likely the latter-- that both West Africans and Egyptians share ancestry from the Sahara like E3a lineages. [QUOTE][qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb]Because it is a tradition, one that is rooted in [URL=http://www.suppressedhistories.net/articles/racism_history.html]Eurocentric doctrine #5[/URL]---[i]PASSING OF THE TORCH DOCTRINE: Claims a chain of cultural transmission from Mesopotamia and Egypt to Greece to Rome to western Europe to the USA, leaving vast gaps where the history of the rest of the world should be. (The discussion never returns to Egypt or Iraq to consider what happened there after the fall of their ancient empires.) Most of the planet's cultures are discussed only in relation to the European conquest, if mentioned at all. As a result, few people have any idea of the history of Sumatra, Honduras, Niger, Ecuador, Mozambique, Ohio, Hokkaido, Samoa, or even European countries such as Lithuania or Bosnia.[/i][/qb][/QUOTE]The sad thing is that I've met people with this exact attitude towards history. I remember getting into an argument over the internet about which civilizations should be included in a computer game about history and the world's empires. My opponents were strongly against the inclusion of sub-Saharan and Native American civilizations because they "didn't contribute anything" to history or world culture. Attempts to convince them otherwise were fruitless. You just cannot rinse out that sort of mentality. [/qb][/QUOTE]^Indeed those people have serious issues if they ignore (deny) African and American civilizations and empires in a game [i]about[/i] world empires. Obviously a freudian slip on their part-- that they consider only the West to be the world! :o [/QB][/QUOTE]
