[QUOTE]Originally posted by tropicals redacted: [QB] @Lioness But we're talking [i]specifically [/i] about the ancient Egyptians. I've never said that classical writers had a sociological context of 'blackness'. Their descriptions are useful because they're matter of fact observations of African skin colour. From them we know that indigenous Egyptians, as Africans, fell within the range of complexions seen peoples of African descent that we would [i]now[/i] call 'black'. It's not hard. [QUOTE]I'm trying to figure out your comment here. If I say according to the ancient defintion "black" regards skin color alone then that IS based on empirical observation. Thus any person, African or otherwise with skin dark enough would be regarded as black. Yes, color can be empirically observed _____________ Aslo keep in mind the ancient writers did not classify people by color as in "black people" in the same way Chinese people don't call themsleves "yellow people" or anything of the like. [b]They only used color words in describing skin tone, not "whites" and "blacks" as if a type of person as is done in modern Western civilization[/b] I'm disappointed you wouldn't take the photo challenge [/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
