[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb] Now just for those who don't understand that Egyptology is a made up pseudo-science just for promoting professional liars, just watch these [b]NEW[/b] episodes produced on ancient Egypt. There are so many flaws that are not really flaws that go 100% against everything you know that it obviously has to be intentional. And this is with all the so called "professional" Egyptologists who are giving their commentary. Like notice how so many Egyptians have full beards, almost looking like somehow Israelites, even though Egyptians rarely wore full beards? Or the Charleton Heston look alikes? Or the fact that none of these clowns wear any of the actual hairstyles found in Egypt? No false beards, no Uraei, no locks or side locks, but this is supposed to be taken seriously? And on top of that you got the black faced mummy of Seqenenre Tao looking like a Typical black African and the actor is white? And then they claim that the 18th dynasty was founded in the South but supported later by slaves from Nubia? Seriously? White supremacy and its bold face frauds know no bounds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89oQTVyeJdY [/qb][/QUOTE]I think you're making mountains out of mole hills. I agree that the white-washing of Egypt is a serious problem, but as I and others have said before expect Hollywood and TV productions to be the LAST to end the racist tradition! So please don't raise your blood pressure over something so ubiquitous to the point of mundane. As for Egyptology, please don't attack the entire profession. Egyptology is a branch of archaeology that deals with Egypt, plain and simple. It is no more pseudo-scientific than Assyriology in Mesopotamia or Hellenology in Greece. Scientifically [i]inaccurate[/i] definitely, though it depends on the Egyptologist in question. Tell me, would you consider Egyptologists like Mostafa Gadalla or Ahmed Saleh as pseudo-scientists even though they assert the FACTS that we have been presenting all these years?! [/qb][/QUOTE]I am attacking the entire profession as the entire profession was created by thieves in the West and not Egyptians, arab or otherwise. Prior to the discovery of King Tut most artifacts found in Egypt were claimed by European countries under colonial decree. And the point I was making is that this t.v. show had many Egyptologists spouting outright lies and half truths. So how can I not call a spade a spade. This wasn't just a fictitious movie like the "Scorpion King". It was intended to be factual, scientific and historical, which means they were treating it as scholarship not fiction. I have no problem with calling Egyptology a profession of liars because they are paid to lie and will always lie in public no matter what those dusty old journals say or hard scientific facts say. Egyptology started out as a way for racist whites to "prove" their superiority over blacks by using their "made up" race science in America and Europe to measure ancient Egyptian skulls to determine their race, in public mummy unwrappings. This was always intended to be a "show" for the white masses, which is why most of these programs are created by Westerners, funded by Westerners and not even promoted in arabic until very recently, when they started putting Arabic actors in the productions. Prior to that most of them used European actors. And in this particular production the lies are so glaring from what they say to the reenactors it is ridiculous. Like the fact that they keep showing this full bearded guy next to the pharaoh as the high priest purposely making him look like some sort of proto Hebrew, when we know for a fact that most ancient Egyptians did NOT wear full beards. But that is just another layer of overt propaganda, just like the Charlton Heston look alikes seen throughout the battle scenes. [QUOTE] How much was archaeology founded on prejudice? The Archaeology of Race explores the application of racial theory to interpret the past in Britain during the late Victorian and Edwardian period. It investigates how material culture from ancient Egypt and Greece was used to validate the construction of racial hierarchies. Specifically focusing on Francis Galton's ideas around inheritance and race, it explores how the Egyptologist Flinders Petrie applied these in his work in Egypt and in his political beliefs. It examines the professional networks formed by societies, such as the Anthropological Institute, and their widespread use of eugenic ideas in analyzing society. Archaeology of Race draws on archives and objects from the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology and the Galton collection at UCL. These collections are used to explore anti-Semitism, skull collecting, New Race theory and physiognomy. These collections give insight into the relationship between Galton and Petrie and place their ideas in historical context. [/QUOTE] http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/the-archaeology-of-race-9781780934204/#sthash.VnA165TX.dpuf Even many scientists some think are more "liberal" are holding down the party line, like Nina Jablonski who recently published a book claiming that ancient Egyptians had "different" skin colors, in other words there were white ancient Egyptians and they began to distinguish among skin color in other populations, as in "black" Nubians, which is the same trash they have been saying for the last 300 years.
