[/qb][/QUOTE]I agree - and think the fact that archeologists think the whole history of Egypt needs to be "rethought" by "scholars" due to this find makes me wonder what the h_ck they think Egypt was. Why would ancient Africans so familiar with the stars not know about the places they came from. Ridiculously insulting is all I can say, and weird science. I guess just because Europeans discovered America and emerged from their "dark age" a mere several hundred years ago everybody else since recorded history must have been just as isolated and static. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yea and that's not all. Historians have yet to implement the mass migrations that happened in archaic history into the mainstream. That's why so few people can come to grasp this idea that a population could have moved from Africa to Arabia and back again. Or that Egyptians could have had links to a group as far away as the Chad (if that's really where Yam was located). It's like genetics and linguistics are hitting a brick wall known as academic dogma. Take Benin HbS and its spread for instance. What is the general view of how this West African haplotype reached so many places? The common answer seems to be slavery, but that's really a major cop-out and everyone knows it. Do historians REALLY believe carriers of E3a migrated to West Africa and never left? We know this is not the case because their sickle cell marker has popped up as far away as Oman and Greece. So Europeans and Arabs could travel all over the Old World, but Africans couldn't? I'm sorry, I'm ranting now. Great thread though and very puzzling. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yeah - I'll never Dr. Van Sertima in one of his lectures telling the story of how he was talking over the phone with a European "scholar" in either South Africa or somewhere else outside of the US about how certain crops similar native to to Africa got to the Americas. He said the guy said that he didn't think "the Negro" could have sailed to America but that it is more likely that a bird probably carried some seeds over.lol! Needless to say the guy didn't know Dr. Van Sertima was black at the time. Its actually sad but true that many still think that way in academia. [/QB][/QUOTE]
