[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [b]alTakruri, the irony of this is St. Maurice actually came from Upper Egypt[Southern Egypt] around the Luxor area. He is also a Coptic saint held in high reguard. He was part of the Theban league of soliders who were stationed in parts of Europe by the Romans. [/b][/QUOTE] Ausar You hit the nail square on the head! Yes, this is why I offered him as an example of how slippery the word Moor is in the European mind and their obsession with the Black a Moor that could make nearly any kind of black anywhere into a Moor regardless of their bonified ethnicity or nationality. No way an Upper Egyptian of the 3rd century was ever a Moor since during that time period Mauretania was clear across the continent at the NW and no ancient writer ever correlated Maurs to Egyptians. Only after the Muslim conquest of the southern parts of Iberia did he become a Moor even though he was an Egyptian Coptic Christian. It doesnt serve African history for scholars to perpetuate the same nonsense instead of recknoning Moors as first the Mauretanians and now the Mauritanians both of whom were and are overwhelmingly Imazighen. All the rest to me is just slight of hand magnification. [/QB][/QUOTE]
