[QUOTE]Originally posted by Super car: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mazigh: ya ya, it is just a language... they aren't a homogenous ethnicity... africaans... afrasans... even if this is probably the first time you hear of this word "berber", i guess. but, i'm friendly (you see), and i give you the opportunity to make it understandable, i do that with questions, since the questions are the easiest reactions [IMG]http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/smile.gif[/IMG]: how about "libyan" ? How about "amazigh" ? is it not clear enough that they are one ethnicity when they speak one language ? how are they a heterogenous ethnicity ? how do you mean with "it is just a language" ? ought it to be anything others ? all the languages are just languages. why would i use "afrasan" ? they are north africans even if you like or you dislike that. what does make the berbers else others than the egyptians and the rest of the folks ? i expect readable answers ![/QUOTE] Mazigh, you are truly attempting to be funny, aren't you? Well, the point of my comment has obviously eluded you, so I will try to say this as basically as possible; and of course, having the ability to read it, entirely depends on your intellectual capacity to recorgnize letters & words. Was "Libyans" used in ancient times? I am certain that the people who lived in that region were known by another name, not "Libyans". And what about the "Amazighs", as you put it? Do you have evidence that the Tehenu or Temehu were specifically simply the "Amazighs"? "Berbers" is in reference to a various ethnic groups, mostly north-western Africans, who speak closely related languages, not nationality as in the Kemetians. So when you use "Berbers", which ethnic Berber-speaking group are you including in your reference, and which ones are you excluding? Why would you use "Afrasan"? Well, the point was that "Berbers" isn't some sort of cohesive entity like a nationality, but in reference to folks who speak "Berber" languages. Your usage of the term, by applying it to ancient folks, seems to be an attempt to portray "Berbers" as some kind of a national entity. I suspect you use it in that manner, to fabricate a cradle of civilization which you can relate to. There is nothing to dislike or like about Berber speaking groups being in coastal northwest Africa and the Sahara/sub-Saharan Africa, if you consider Mali and Niger as such. It is just a poorly thought out red herring of yours. [This message has been edited by Super car (edited 11 September 2005).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
