[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by kembu: [qb]Actually, it is a misnomer. The wig is actually Egyptian in origin. In fact, ancient Egyptians were primarily responsible for popularizing the wig-wearing culture that has permeated African hairstyle culture. Many Eurocentric Egyptologist are just too ready to dismiss an obviously African cultural marker of the ancient Egyptians as a borrowed tradition from Nubians. That is utterly inaccurate. In fact, the ancient Egyptians wore more elaborate wigs that Nubians. It is also probable that the Nubians borrowed wig-wearing culture from the Egyptians. [/qb][/QUOTE]I agree with everything you say except that Egyptians were responsible for wig customs in Africa. This sounds diffussionistic. The African custom of wearing wigs is just African not only Egyptian. Diop tried to connect the West African tradition of wearing wigs to Egypt when the similarity is actually due to common origin not Egyptian origin. [/QB][/QUOTE]
