[QUOTE]Originally posted by neo*geo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [b] Doing it again; painting Nubians as a homogeneous entity, racially seperate from Kemetians. [/b][/QUOTE] You guys need to seek psychiatric help. Every argument on ancient Egypt doesn't have to turn into a racial one. How many times do we have to repeat the same simple understanding? [b]Race is not the same as skin color[/b] and race in ancient times is not the same as race today. I am in no way saying that Nubians were not diverse just as Egyptians were. What I'm saying is that we KNOW that Kemsit was a Nubian woman and we KNOW that the 6th dynasty royal family may have been a Nubian one. Nubians varied in skin color but generally, they were literally the color "black" as their descendants around Sudan are today. [QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [b] In this regard, I wonder how you are any different from 18th century racist Egyptologists.[/b][/QUOTE] And I wonder how you are any different from Adolph Hitler... Not to be so blunt but I take offense to being compared to racists simply because you fail to understand my point of view due to either lack of reading comprehension or reading my old posts on the subject... [QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [b] It appears that it has to be countless times repeated that Nubians weren't a homogenous group themselves, in that, lower Nubians were generally less dark than those found in upper Nubia.[/b][/QUOTE] This is a questionable generalization. Indeed, there are lower Nubians in Egypt and Sudan like the Beja who have had "red" skin since antiquity. However, Nubians from Aswan, Egypt to Khartoum, Sudan are generally black complexioned. [QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [b] It also has to be repeated that in Kemet's southern Nubian region or lower Nubia, the folks there weren't racially different from other upper Egyptian regions. [/b][/QUOTE] What is racially different? Once again, you're mixing the modern definition of race with the ancient one. In the fact that lower Nubia has always in some way shape or form been within Egypt's borders you are right but that's been my point all along. [/QB][/QUOTE]
