[QUOTE]Originally posted by Recovering Afro-holic: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: ^ My, oh my. So much data specifically stating the tropical African (BLACK) identity of the Egyptians. Only a chronic Assh0le would deny such.[/QUOTE]You obviously have not watched the lecture/workshop. He [Keita] was asked if the ancient Egyptians were "Black" and his reply was specific -- He rejected the term "Black." And instead, he described the ancient Egyptians as partly comprising of "dark" people. In addition, he qualified 'dark' with a caveat; Dr. Keita states that he does not know how dark (or light) they were. [QUOTE] While Keita does not say [b]outright[/b] that the Egyptians were black he DOES say so in [b]so many other words[/b],[/QUOTE]Allow me to paraphrase what you just said, in a more... how shall I say it? REVEALING WAY: 'Dr. Keita does not claim the Egyptians were black, however, I think he uses buzz or code words, i.e. "tropical adaptations, continuity," to gain the attention of we Afronuts. Thusly, I shall interpret his words by taking them out of context. thusly, showing that, indeed, the scholar supports my outlying views.' [QUOTE] i.e. tropical adaptations and continuity with the rest of tropical Africa.[/QUOTE]Did you not read the quote I provided on how Dr. Keita states that southern Egypt approximates more w/the people of Negroland, while lower Egypt has more of an affinity with Europeans. Surely you saw the quote? Just incase you haven't, voila! "lower Egyptian, Maghrebian, and [b]European[/b] patterns are observed also, thus making for great diversity" (1992, p. 251). [QUOTE]Obviously you haven't read Keita's works at least not in its entirety, because if you have you would know that statement of his you cited was in reference to Egypt in [i]post[/i] dynastic times when the population obviously had foreign immigration. [/QUOTE]Uh... WRONG sir. Keita places it at pre dynastic period (Keita, 1990; Keita, 1992). [i]References:[/i] Keita Soy (1990). Studies of ancient crania from northern Africa. Keita Soy (1992). Further studies of crania from ancient northern Africa: an analysis of crania from First Dynasty Egyptian tombs. [/QB][/QUOTE]
