[QUOTE]Originally posted by Afrosaxon: [QB] I know this an old thread but the point made below is so true,not just the maya but many other groups had different concepts of time,in africa time was considered generative - it is something that is generated day after day.It was NOT linear. We are so colonised in our thinking these strange new terms "bantu","nilotic" "semetic" etc the ancient africans did not use these terms.If we want to understand egypt we must have some knowledge of african anthropology and african percepetions of themselves and those surrounding them. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Wally: [qb] I am afraid that you guys are repeating the linear thinking of Westerners;ie, each graph shows a single starting point as if this is the original home of certain African peoples... Tsk, tsk, tsk. Non-Westerners, such as the Maya, saw the world in a different fashion and in a similar fashion that Africans and other Orientals saw it: Dialectically, in a non-linear, recurring manner: The fact that the Nile Valley had been occupied at a much earlier period, of peoples moving northward and eventually out of Africa, does not preclude the fact of later migrations, specifically of the historical Africans, nor does it preclude that these same Africans would, at various periods, as Diop explained, move southwards as well as westwards; like the ebb and flow of the tides. Diop was a "Marxist" and his method of analysis exhibited this way of non-linear thinking, a thinking that was also exemplified by the Maya, the Ancient Egyptians, etc... [/qb][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
