[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oshun: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Anglo_Pyramidologist: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by claus3600: [qb] @anglo Maybe you might try to explain away your statement "Claus, Negroids by that time were in Egypt. No one denies this. The Busiris scene on the pottery is c. 450 BC. This matches the Herodotus quote where he describes the egyptians as dark and wooly haired. " Your reference to Herodotus here, in combination with the use of 'Negroids', absolutely is in keeping with the 'Afrocentrist' use of Herodotus when making the case that the Egyptians were black. [/qb][/QUOTE]Only Diop in the 1970's translated [i]melanchroes[/i] as ''black''. It is a false translation. Classicists note that it means ''dark'', and can include bronze (reddish-brown) shades commonly found in Caucasoid populations. Negroids are not unique in having dark skin. [/QUOTE]Not to suggest I read Herodotus but arent you taking this out of the context of Africa. Reddish Brown shades in Africa generally signal Black people and even among the Meds with darker skin they are mixed with black people. And socially "black" does not require a certain type of facial feature. So unless he specifically said "Negroid" which attempts to suggest we should divide races by facial features, this would be putting a strawman for Diop. [/QB][/QUOTE]
