[QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan- aka Enrique Cardova: [QB] In the long-running Wikipedia "article"- "Ancient Egyptian Race Controversy" the usual "biodiversity" types, shielded and aided by administrator collaborators, continue to enter bogus information. Here is a typical example: [b]1) Recent edits-: bogus 90% rejection claim - QUOTE in the Wikipedia "article" : "UNESCO convened the "Symposium on the Peopling of Ancient Egypt and the Deciphering of the Meroitic Script" in Cairo in 1974. At that forum the "Black Egyptian" theory was rejected by 90% of delegates,[128][129][UNESCO history Reference] and the symposium concluded that Ancient Egyptians were much the same as modern Egyptians. [/b] ^^The only thing wrong with this "fact" is that it is completely bogus. There is no "90 percent" "rejection" anywhere in the report. In fact, most participants, using classic "racial" categories hold that "Negroes" (in the stereotypical 'true negro' sense) made up a substantial proportion of the population. QUOTE: [i]There is a contradiction here: all the anthropologists agree in stressing the sizable proportions of the Negroid element—almost a third and sometimes more—in the ethnic mixture of the ancient Egyptian population; but nobody has yet defined what is meant by the term 'Negroid', nor has any explanation been proferred as to how this Negroid element, by mingling with a 'Mediterranean' component often present in smaller proportions, could be assimilated into a purely Caucasoid race."[/i] -- UNESCO 1981. The Peopling ancient Egypt.. The claimed "90% rejection" is sheer Wikipedia bullshiit, protected from correction by dishonest administrators. But that ain't nothing new... Hence the importance of ES and Reloaded to give people the actual facts and let them verify for themselves. [b]2) Example 2- bogus "DNA" evidence. QUOTE from WIki article: "More recent comparisons between the DNA of both modern and ancient Egyptians would appear to support the UNESCO view that modern Egyptians are genetically much the same as the ancient population.[4] [/b][i]CITATION 4: Frank Yurco, "An Egyptological Review" in Mary R. Lefkowitz and Guy MacLean Rogers, eds. Black Athena Revisited. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1996. pp. 62–100[/i] ^^The only thing wrong with the above "citation" is that it is wholly bogus. Yurco does not even mention DNA in his article.
