[QUOTE]Originally posted by Thought2: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mystery Solver: [qb] Indeed, the idea of ancient Egyptians calling their nation Kmt, goes beyond the mere issue of skin color, much less the notion of having a precise 'measure' of melanin [LOl. if they knew what that meant] content of skin, so as to determine who should be part of Kmt. 'Kem' was also the embodiment of 'sacredness'. Does this change the literal meaning of 'kem/km', of course not, i.e., it is 'black' itself that is 'sacred'. [/qb][/QUOTE]Thought Writes: How does the comment above contradict my statement below. Read carefully and think deeply before you speak... [QUOTE]Originally posted by Thought2: [qb] The term Kemet and its many derivatives have deeper cosmological meanings that most likely have been inappropriatly translated by Eurocentric scholars. I am NOT suggesting that there is no correlation between the idea of darkness and dark people in relation to this word and its derivatives. But the simplistic TRANSLATION of one word and concept into a very different culture is wanting. [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
