[QUOTE]Originally posted by Troll Patrol: [QB] ^ :confused: IronLion, the school certainly has inserting images. Novgorod School "Icon of St. George" [IMG]http://www.kunstkopie.nl/kunst/novgorod_school/icon_george_hi.jpg[/IMG] Anyone, is this source correct? [QUOTE] There are more account of Black Colchians. In 522-443, a Greek poet named Pindar described the Colchians, whom Jason and the Argonauts fought, as being "dark skinned". Then around 350 to 400 AD, Church father St. Jerome and Sophronius refered to Colchis as the "second Ethiopia" because of its black population. [/QUOTE]information taken from: Patrick T. English, Cushites, Colchians, and Khazars, Journal of Near Eastern Studies, vol 18, Jaunuary - October 1959, p. 53. [QUOTE]Region located along the eastern coast of the Black Sea south of Caucasus (area 8). Colchis is the place where Jason and the Argonauts went to conquer the Golden Fleece. It is the birthplace of queen Medea, the sorceress daughter of Ćetes, the king of the place, who became Jason's wife. In his Histories, II, 103-105, Herodotus suggests that Colchis was conquered by an Egyptian Pharao named Sesostris (either Sesostris I or Sesostris III, of the XIIth dynasty, who lived in the XIXth century B. C.) and that the people of Colchis were the descendants of Egyptians who stayed there at the time, but modern history has no knowledge of such an expedition by any Egyptian pharao, though black communities are known to have existed in the area.
