John Baines, professor of Egyptology at Oxford, in his attack on Black Athena II in the New York Times, is similarly a victim of the confused approach seen in Kelley. For Baines, ancient Egypt 'was an African society of diverse ethnic origins'. (38) [b]He further seems to believe that Egyptians' representations of themselves in paintings as reddish-brown (men), yellow (women) and of the people to the south as black is of importance in determining their actual physical characteristics--surely one of the more astounding statements made recently on the ethnicity of the ancient Egyptians[/b].[/QUOTE]---Kamugisha (2003) [URL=http://wysinger.homestead.com/finally.html]Full Text[/URL] Or if preferred, I downloaded the PDF [URL=http://www.sendspace.com/file/2rf407]Here[/URL] [/QB][/QUOTE]
