[QUOTE]Originally posted by Obenga: [QB] Imhotep says: Zahi Hawas is undoubtedly a biased Egyptologist - at least as he's portrayed in the media. Obenga responds: I don't think Hawass and mainstream Egyptologist are consciously biased. I think they do what they have been trained to do, study Egypt as a near eastern civilization along with the study of other near eastern civilizations like Sumer,Persia and Pheonecia. They have been trained to perceive KMT as an ancient near eastern culture not an African one, this has always been the view of Egyptology. Any Egyptologist hoping to be respected and taken seriously cannot be outspoken about KMT as an African culture if he does not want his career in Egyptology ruined!!. Egyptology certainly is not going to listen to any Outside voices with any kind of respect. Three weeks ago I watched British Egyptologist Dr Joanne Fletcher state that many Egyptologist's don't like or want to accept the idea of clear elements of Ancient Egypt appearing first in African cultures that pre-date Ancient Egypt, but the evidence says they are going to have to face it more and more. This is the attitude toward influences from Africa toward Egypt by Egyptologists If they are studying and looking East how can they even link KMT with African cultures they know nothing about?? Kush is seen just as an extension of KMT and outside of Nubia they don't study African culture and traditions. If no voices within Egyptology are teaching about KMT in an African context why should Egyptologist see KMT as an African culture??? Egyptology has not fully recovered from it's non-objective beginings. Lets not forget that no groups like to admit to any kind of a posituve influence from other groups. [/QB][/QUOTE]
