[QUOTE]Originally posted by Faheemdunkers: [QB] Back to reality folks: "Ancient sources also differentiate clearly between people who lived along the coastal areas of northwest Africa (i.e., modern Libya to Morocco) and those who inhabited the interior. "Aethiops," it should be emphasized, with few exceptions, [b]was applied neither to Egyptians nor to inhabitants of northwest Africa, such as Moors, Numidians, or Carthaginians[/b]." (Snowden, 1997) Aethiops/black was not applied to the Egyptians or Libyans. Only the inhabitants of Sub-Sahara Africa. The ancient Greeks did not believe the egyptians were "black" [note though that they are generalizing entire populations which is inaccurate from the start]. [/QB][/QUOTE]
