[QUOTE]Originally posted by typeZeiss: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by typeZeiss: Those Tans and whites are VERY late comers to North Africa. North Africa was almost completely black up until about 1100 AD, when the importation of white slaves picked up. Before that, the region was almost completely black. I believe you probably still had some pockets of Roman, Greek, Assyrian, and Persian descended peoples, especially in North Egypt [/QUOTE]where is your evidence that Maghreb was completely black in say 2000 BC to 1100 AD? What black civilization? What human remains settlement in the Maghreb at that time? Also you left out the Phoenicians who came from the Lebanon region around 800 BC founding Utica, Carthage and other cities. While they may not be what somebody would describe as white they might be decribed as probably brown levantine looking people, not African. The population of Carthage was said to be a half million at it's height, largely Phoenician with some indigenous nomads mixing in You say "pockets of Roman, Greek, Assyrian, and Persian descended peoples" What is the black civilization of the time in the Maghreb that they were a pocket of?

[/qb][/QUOTE]Go read the post I originally made, part of which you are quoting. It clearly names the sources. PS You posting pictures of statues that are supposedly from Cyprus doesn't prove much of anything either. especially since Cyprus is not in North Africa. Not to mention there are Greek authors who described Phoenicians as Aithiops. [/QB][/QUOTE]
