[QUOTE]Originally posted by Supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: To break this down so that others don't become confused with inane prattle[/QUOTE]Funny, because that is precisely what I intended to do about the mentioned inane prattles of yours. [QUOTE]alTakruri: only designed to ridicule what one mind can't grasp, Lalibela's rock cut churches at Roha are fine representation of troglodyte architecture.[/QUOTE]What your mind doesn't grasp is that, the cheap attempt to use the Lalibela structures to justify your casual repetition of someone's usage of "Troglodytes" on some ancient African group, isn't lost on any perceptive observer. [QUOTE]alTakruri: Now if anybody other than Supercar doesn't understand that, then I'll be happy to explain to them how an architectural style differs from the mode of living of a people.[/QUOTE]Interesting. So an isolated crude cave dweller can be called a "troglodyte", and someone who happens to live or use a rather more sophisticated, and possibly more impressive structure carved out of a huge rock could also be referred to as such, to the extent that nothing really delineates the former from the latter, by this simplistic reference to the term. [QUOTE]alTakruri: The Abyssinians employing troglodyte architecture no more makes them troglodytes than Americans pitching tents makes them nomads. [/QUOTE]...hmmm, and yet, your bringing the Abyssinians into this in the first place, seems to be somehow meant to provide a justification of your reference to an ancient African group as "troglodytes". [QUOTE]alTakruri: Labeling Abyssinians troglodytes appears no where in my posts and is a weak attempt to substantiate ridicule by putting words in my mouth that never issued from my mouth [/QUOTE]...why not call those Abyssinians troglodytes, as they would be supposedly named after a "style" or method of building/producing architecture, if your logic is anything to go by? Besides, again, isn't that the whole purpose of bringing them up in the first place? No one need to put anything in your mouth, when your own actions or postings make the implications pretty obvious. [QUOTE]alTakruri: by someone who has nothing on topic to contribute to this thread's subject matter, "Medjay: the Nehhesyw just east of the Valley." [/QUOTE]As someone who apparently hasn't been following the posts in a topic started by himself, I suggest you take another peek at my postings herein. In fact, exposing the erroneous nature of someone's rather casual and unjustified reference/term imposed on an ancient group, is in itself a significant contribution to the discussion at hand. Naturally, the culprit of the error in question will feel different about the value of this contribution. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
