[QUOTE]Originally posted by melchior7: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by liar7: "The Roman administrator and historian, Gaius Crispus Sallust, says of people of North Africa. North Africa was first occupied by Libyans and Getulians, who were a barbarous people, a heterogeneous mass, or agglomeration of people of different races, without any form of religion or government, nourishing themselves on herbs, or devouring the raw flesh of animals killed in the chase; for first amongst these were found Blacks, probably some from the interior of Africa, and belonging to the great negro family; then whites, issue of the Semitic stock, who apparently constituted, even at that early period, the dominant race or caste. Later, but at an epoch absolutely unknown, a new horde of Asiatics of Medes, Persians, and Armenians, invaded the countries of the Atlas, and, led on by Hercules, pushed their conquests as far as Spain." [/QUOTE]This is the second time I expose your lie. Thatquote is not in Sallust. It is from another ofyour anonymous internet so-called sources. You have proven incapable of producing primary documentation. You have proven incapable of properly citing your so-called references. All you do is cut and paste opinions from people on the internet as if they really have any weight just because you use them as quotes. But what else can be expected from someone who never wrote a university term paper where quoted references require author, title, and page number at minimum. [/qb][/QUOTE]You are an idiot. The quote is from travels in morocco by James Richardson who is summarizing a passage form Sallust's Conspiracy of Catiline and The Jurgurthine War Ch 18... Very anynomous "But after Hercules, as the Africans think, perished in Spain, his army, which was composed of various nations,2 having lost its leader, and many candidates severally claiming the command of it, was speedily dispersed. Of its constituent troops, the Medes, Persians, and Armenians,3 having sailed over into Africa, occupied the parts nearest to our sea.4 The Persians, however, settled more toward the ocean,5 and used the inverted keels of their vessels for huts, there being no wood in the country" One wonders why you chose to focus on this quote as if this would really disprove that folks about the Atlas were light skinned and yet leave the quotes by Pliny and Ptolemy unchallenged?? And you efforts to refute what is implied by Ephorus is laughable. [/QB][/QUOTE]
