[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] It gives me no pleasure to assess that this thread is a perfect example of - doxa, - racial sympathy, - ad hominem, and - a skeletal citation methodology (not requiring any actual quotes) to defend a thesis refuted by the inescapable facts others posted. Bazan's writing: [list] [*][i]... Majid, whom he met on the west coast of Africa. Arab stories say that this ibn Majid was 'intoxicated' by the Portuguese so that he would show them the way to the Indies. He is regarded as the author of a handbook on navigation on the Indian Ocean, ... [/i] [/list] errs with west coast when it's well known from more primary sources [URL=http://underline]it was the east (Swahili) coast[/URL]. The error others make is assuming[i] "the Indies" [/i]means West Indies when we know [URL=http://underline]da Gama was pioneering direct trade with India at that time[/URL]. I think this even came up in the recent South Africa thread. [/QB][/QUOTE]
