[QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by neo*geo: [b] As compelling as the hair information was, there is no debate over the premise that Egypt and Egyptians were not homogeneous. The points people are making are becoming redundant. I don't know how many times and how many different ways the same point can be made. This thread is going no where and I agree with ausur that people should try o contribute more to other topics... [/b][/QUOTE] I think you have missed my point. Debates go back and forth, and I think this should be known by now to anyone who participates in these forums. I disagree with you: this thread should go somewhere, as long as AE myths continue. If anyone wants to contribute it, I believe that is a matter of personal decision. It is not for me to tell others that because I feel the debate isn't going anywhere, that they should stop discussing it. People have different interests and views, and they will only participate in discussions that interest them. As far as your analysis of Homeylu's hair comment goes, again I think you missed the point. For me, I understand it from the perspective that she is pointing out the myth that some people attach to Egyptian mummies, when they are using it in defence of the view that Egyptians were white. This would be that some will try to prove that the Pharaoh's were white by judging from the straight-blondish hair. Well, with her hair analysis, she is trying put down that myth! You might see this as redundant, but she is contributing to the subject of the thread, which happens to do with how to stop Ancient Egyptian 'myths'. I just want add that, Neo, if you read this thread throughtout, you'll notice 'shifts' in the posts from myths concerning Egyptian ethnicity, to the politics of people who debate these myths (Afrocentrism and Eurocentrism), to myths concerning that other parts of Africa, particularly south of Egypt, haven't influenced the advancement of Ancient Egypt (discussion of A-Group Nubian influence and that of C-group in relation to AE), back to racial composition sparked by Cassia (fuelling rebuttals on myths concerning how the delta influenced the regional population). Despite these shifts, the posts don't tend to stray too much away from the subject of the thread. Even in the cases where AE race became an issue again, new topics were introduced, such as the one involving the Delta's influence. I don't remembering seeing that in posts of other threads which ended up in AE race debates! [This message has been edited by supercar (edited 27 June 2004).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
