[QUOTE]Originally posted by neo*geo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by homeylu: [b]It appears that the question has been answered. Although I don't believe the Egyptians were racist in the oppressive "white supremacist" sort of way, it is evident on several bas-reliefs with relation to their god they consider themselves "superior" to other races and are always placed first, followed by other blacks, with whites being in last place. Again I've only seen this "ranking" in relation to their gods, if this is the same as "social ranking" then the Egyptians definitely saw themselves as a "superior" race.[/b][/QUOTE] The Romans and Greeks saw themselves as superior as well. You have to put things into the context of their time and quit applying today's social mindset to them. The Egyptians saw themselves as more civilized and closer to the Gods than other peoples. The only whites they came into contact with at the time were uncivilized and barbaric to them. The Romans also saw most of Europe as barbaric but also most of Africa. Naturally, people in empires think they are superior to other nations so their views are often biased. [/QB][/QUOTE]
