[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] [b]Doug M - I am saying that they depicted figures based on their conversion to Christianity and the lore of Christianity that identified these figures as white to begin with as an artistic tradition. All along the Nile Valley you will find ancient Churches with white images of saints, angels and the holy family. This is nothing new or strange. Seeing as the Byzantines introduced this religion to the Ethiopians, it would only make sense that those Byzantine/Coptic bibles and images that were introduced to Ethiopia would have had white skin.[/b] Like I said above: So are you saying that the Ethiopians simply kowtowed to their European masters? Doug, you seem to be hemming-n-hawing; but you can't have it both ways. Ethiopians knew that Hebrews were Black people, hell some of their own population was Hebrews: Ethiopians knew that Jesus was suppose to be a Hebrew. YET they still depicted him as a White person. It seems clear to me, either they were VERY scared of the Greeks and Romans, or they were OREO'S. [/QB][/QUOTE]
