[QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [b] [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]by Wally: Do you say things simply to be argumentative? I mean nobody is as confused as you seem to be! Quote by Wally: 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... Wally, can you once again give the address of your website, because I want to get info on your explanation of AE colors. I have come across an AE website bearing the same name as yours, but I cannot be certain we are talking about the same website. Quote by Wally: 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... Don't mean to be a pain, but once again, if you can kindly provide me with the address of that homepage, I'd appreciate that. [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. Quote by Wally: 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. [/QUOTE] Right on Wally, I also have issues about the distortion of African history. That is why I opened up a new thread called "How to stop whitewash of AE history and other myths regarding this ancient culture?". when I opened this thread, I was hoping that all facets of AE history would be discussed, not just the racial part it, but also religious practices, art and the science of AE civilization. We have to understand that AE myths don't just stop at race or religion, it goes beyond that! [This message has been edited by supercar (edited 18 June 2004).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
