[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by King_Scorpion: [qb] I know this was directed towards Dana, but to answer your question...no the Ethiopians were not originally a caucasian race. There was an attempt by the historical community very early on to whitewash Ethiopians. This is because Ethiopia's story hasn't fully been told or even realized. Ethiopia rivals Egypt in terms of its importance. This is why old school historians wanted to "lighten them up" I theorize. They are highly regarded in virtually every historical text. Ethiopians have spawned the Sabeans, they may represent the original source of the ancient Egyptians. They founded Abyssinia, an early Christian empire, stood against the Romans (and I think there may be more to this story). They were considered "Hamitic" and totally part of psuedo-Arabic stock. Now, to be clear...yes a certain part of Ethiopian society/culture is ethnically-influenced by Arabs. But as Dana shows and as I did in the African/Arabic Connection thread, and evidence, groups of Black Africans also migrated to Arabia and Yemen...it wasn't a one-way flow of genes. Which is why a British man found Swahili being spoken by groups in Saudi Arabia. But you must also understand that there are also many Ethiopians that are either not as mixed or not mixed at all and look as Black as any other African lol. [/qb][/QUOTE]The attempt to white wash Ethiopia is actually an old one based on two reasons: 1. Ethiopia has one of the oldest civilizations in Africa with some of it still continuing this day and 2. Ethiopia is a site for earliest remains of modern humans. Thus the need to claim these populations from prehistoric to early historical as "Cacasoid". [/QB][/QUOTE]
