[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sundiata: [qb] I love Egypt but I myself am genuinely proud of what Kingdoms/empires such as Ghana, Mali, Songhay, and Kanem-Bornu were able to accomplish, despite the lack of praise they receive in the mainstream, and couldn't care less about being a direct descendant of Thutmosis III when I can look to someone like Sundiata Keita or Sunni Ali Ber as a more direct relative.. [/qb][/QUOTE]One should always be proud of his or her own heritage and not always look to the heritages of others. Again I myself as a person of Eastern Asian descent am quite satisfied with my Filipino heritage and look to people like King Palu Palu than to try to cling onto great peoples outside my ethnicity like Chinese Emperor Chi Huang-di just because they are Asian! Some people just aren't satisfied with their own ethic heritage. In fact this mentality you see among some African Americans reflects Eurocentrics! Where you have people of Northwest European descent not only try to claim ancestors from Rome and Greece but even 'kacazoid' ancestors in Egypt, Mesopotamia, India etc! :eek: [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mystery Solver: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: Craniometric studies show that Egyptians are actually quite distant from West Africans but are not surprisingly quite close to northern Sudanese and even Nilotic people from Kenya. [/QUOTE]This is based on what study? [/qb][/QUOTE]The Batrawi study compounded by Crichtons re-evalutation of Brace's study. Sorry I forgot to cite my sources. Of course Egyptians possessed close affinities to West Africans but just not as close to their immediate neighbors. [/QB][/QUOTE]
