[QUOTE]Originally posted by kenndo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Wolofi: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by kenndo: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Wolofi: [qb] I think it is more based on experience and knowledge of the Nile valley in Greek perception which is why they separate Ethiopia and Libya. In the Herodotus claim he states that the Libyans were the darkest and most wooly haired of *Ethiopians* and that it comes down to the fact that Greeks really hadn't explored the rest of the Continent as much as the Nile Valley. So Ethiopian seems to be a description as well as a cultural epithet to the Greeks throughout their accounts which covered centuries of writing and history. Such like "acting black(which really makes no sense but is still used)" and "being black" in modern times today. [/qb][/QUOTE]THE ancient GREEKS mention that those in the nile valley south of egypt(kush)were the darkest and most woolly haried they knew too,not just the original or native libyans,of course there other types of libyans that were not dark and did not have woolly hair. [/qb][/QUOTE]Who said anything about original or native? All Libyans were native. Ethiopians in a Greek context are just as native as any other African so what are you talking about? [/qb][/QUOTE]the white libyans? i don't think so. you had white libyans and brown libyans in ancient times too,not just black ones. WHEN i mean the original,i mean the black libyans,just like the original egyptians were blacks only. [/QB][/QUOTE]
