[QUOTE]Originally posted by blackman: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by kawashkar: That's interesting. What is the early evidence of circumcision that exists ? (paintings, records, art). KAWASHKAR [QUOTE] Beautiful post by Djehuti on a list of cultural elements of beliefs the Egyptians shared with folks in Sub-Sahara KAW, Here is a little more for you http://classics.mit.edu/Herodotus/history.html This timeframe is approx. 440BC. Read Book II talks of Egyptians Deserters of the warrior caste. They left Egypt to fight for an Ethiopian King. This shows a much closer tie between Egypt and Ethiopia in ancient times. Herodotus mentions "it is certain that the natives of the country are black with the heat," OTher ancient historians mention the Egyptians as black. IF Greeks and Romans which are dark Europeans say the Egyptians were black, they must have been as they stated. You asked about ancient circumcision. Herodotus states "They practise circumcision for the sake of cleanliness, considering it better to be cleanly than comely. He also say the Egyptians and Ethiopians are the most ancient to practise circumcision. This shows another link in ancient times to other African. I'm sure the is no need for me to say Black Africans. Djehuti also posted a picture of circumcision here http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=004021 [/QB][/QUOTE]
