[QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Amun-Ra The Ultimate: They are trying to disconnect Ancient Egypt from the rest of Africa (aka sub-Saharan Africa). But you never see them trying to disconnect Ancient Greece from European or American history. [/QUOTE]History and genetics are two different things. For instance on the genetic level most European Americans ancestors are German, Irish Americans, English and Italians. Most have little if any Greek ancestry, except perhaps some Italians . So if beyoku and Swenet spend equal time on this point on the genetic level it will balance out. Also if you look at the influence of Greece on the European enlightenment it was significant but that had to do with a willful re-examination of old Greek writings. The Greek writings were forgotten but at a certain point they revived many of their ideas and they could only do that because they had the books and the translation. and then disseminated these writings [/qb][/QUOTE]It's true Ancient Greece has currently a greater influence to Europe than Ancient Egypt to Africa but things can change. This influence was (and still is) a choice by Europeans. Europeans during the enlightenment could have just picked up science, democracy, philosophy from Ancient Greece without making Ancient Greece part of their history. Like writing for example which was not invented in Europe. During the time of the enlightenment, the era of Ancient Greece was long gone. It was and it still is a deliberate choice by European and American historians to put Ancient Greece as part of their history. It's after they made this choice that Ancient Greece truly became important and name like Aristotle became popular. The relationship between Ancient Egypt and the rest of Africa is different than Europeans and Ancient Greece. We share common ancestors before the foundation of Ancient Egypt. At least based on current genetic and most archaeological results. Headrests found in Ancient Egypt and the rest of Africa is an example of shared cultural heritage. Divine kingship, religions, pottery, philosophy are other shared historical heritage. It was and still is a deliberate choice by European and American historians to include Ancient Greece as part of their history, making it influential, same for Ancient Egypt and the history of Africa.
