[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] Mazigh your talking belief based on your personal feelings. I'm talking primary documents based on objective academic study. You can choose to deny them because you don't like the academic documented facts on the word Maur but they remain just that, the facts, not your unsupported fancies. [list] [*]Manilius derives Mauri from the Greek colour term μαῦρος black. [*]Even Frank Snowden wrote that Maurus is "at times obviously the equivalent of Ethiopian." He shows that in the sense of skin colour by giving a Greek addage -- an Aithiopian black as soot -- where black is a variant of maurus. Everybody knows soot isn't light or tawny. [*]Isidore in Origenes 14.5.10 equates Latin nigrum with Greek μαῦρος. [*]Martial 6.39.6 barbs nappy haired Maurii. [*]Juvenal 5.53-54 makes a simile with nigri and Mauri. [/list] There's no escaping the fact that the vast majority of authentic Maurs even into the early Islamic era were blacks, a type of black indigenous to the North Africa between the Sahara and the Sea.
