[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ Yeah, I still remember the guy may he R.I.P. Excellent point, by the way Takruri [QUOTE][qb]Originally posted by alTakruri: [/qb] Some years ago me and Manu Ampim went over the Champollion citation from [b]Diop[/b]'s English language edition [i]African Origin of Civilization[/i], pp. 46 - 48. I tabulated all the readily available BG 4:5:30 paintings and descriptions to the aim of proving or disproving if the order of the peoples varied. I found the texts never varied from the strict order: [list=1] [*]Rt Rmt - "center of it all;" [*]A3mw - peoples at the Rt Rmtyw's sunrise; [*]Nhhsw - peoples where the sun is at midday, i.e., south of the Rt Rmtyw; [*]Tmhhw - peoples toward the Rt Rmtyw's sunset. [/list] I also found that Champollion's description is the only thing that exists that's contrary to this natural sunpath ordering in this spiritual text about the path of the sun (each gate represents an hour of the sun's movement). Manu informed me that Champollion was writing from memory. Champollion was not writing while in direct view of the paintings he inaccurately describes in what is only a personal letter to his brother not a scholarly academic work. In this particular case, Champollion is wrong on several counts (or the translator botched the job). He is wrong about the [b]hour[/b] of the Herd of Ra depiction. He is wrong about the [b]order[/b] of the peoples. He is wrong about the continental [b]origin[/b] of the Tmhhw. He is wrong about the [b]meaning[/b] of the painting in general. [URL=http://www.]Champollion is wrong[/URL] and it's wrong to rely on him if one wants to be right.[/QUOTE]^ This order by the movement of the sun makes the most sense out of all the theories, and it is unfortunately correct that many people distort the order of these images based on their own biased and false racial notions (including Wally).
