[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [QB] [QUOTE] Originally posted by S. Mohammad [b] This had nothing to do with race. The Egyptians painted themselves in a variety of colors, yet you refer to Egyptians as a black population without acknowledging that at various times Egyptians painted themselves different colors. There is no mural of races. [/b] [/QUOTE] Do you say things simply to be argumentative? I mean nobody is as confused as you seem to be! A) On my website I give a simplified explanation of Ancient Egyptian colors and what they signify in Egyptian iconography. I'll let you find it... B) As several notable Egyptologists have discovered and described these documents as ethnographic representations and labeled them "Table of Nations"; they are very real indeed. It was I who reasoned that since they are ethnographic documents and are in fact Ancient Egyptian murals; they would more appropriately be labeled "Murals of the Races." An example of one is on my homepage, I'll let you look that up also... [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [b] Most of the Kemetians did not believe in idols like people think,but the ntr[gods] were probably actually long departed ancestors than spanned back to the pre-dyanstic era... In reality you montheism existed well before Akenaten and was found in the writings of Ptahhotep. The text dates back either to the fifth dynasty or to the 12th dynasty. The definition of one creator deity is expressed within the text,so I would not call Kemetians polytheist. [/b][/QUOTE] Exactly, and this is precisely the point that I keep harping on; we need to be vigilant and to constantly rectify distortions of African history. Ikhnaton did not invent monotheism but merely restored it since it had been submerged by a host of cults during the unfolding of Ancient Egyptian history. I also believe that monotheism in the ancient Nile valley predates even dynastic Egypt. ---- Here's some extras from the Ancient Egyptian language that some may find relevant: Greece.................Weinin (from light or window?) Greeks..................Hanebu (?_lords) Asia......................Sett Asiatic...................Oamu (ie, nomads) India......................Hindu Coastal Libyans......Lebu Sudanese Libyans...Techenu Israelites.................Israel Arabia....................Aribi; Deshret Canaan..................Kanaan Omu Ethiopia.................Ethaush; Ethosh (frontier;boundary;border) [This message has been edited by Wally (edited 18 June 2004).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
