[QUOTE]Originally posted by xyyman: [QB] You brothas do realize you are chasing a "red herring"? don’t you? His argument is "Ford makes a white car so all white cars are Fords" lol! . Caucasoid is a label used to steal African history. AEians are nothing but indigenous Africans. The real argument should be what happened is Greece and Rome 1000BC. Time they start aDNAing the ancient Greeks. Modern Greeks are about 30% African. Ask Larry Angel to release some of those Menos and Lerna Skull for testing. My money is in they are all PN2. And mark my word. They will carry E1b1a!!!!! Yes,not only E1b1b but E1b1a. Why? Tic! Toc!

Greek gods and heroes, like Menelaos, were believed to have visited this place on the fringes of the known world. However, long before Homer, the seafaring civilization of Bronze Age Crete, known today as Minoan, established trade connections with Egypt. [b]The Minoans may have first come into contact with Africans at Thebes, during the periodic bearing of tribute to the pharaoh. [/b]In fact, paintings in the tomb of Rekhmire, dated to the fourteenth century B.C., [b]depict African and Aegean peoples,[/b] most likely Nubians and Minoans. However, with the collapse of the Minoan and Mycenaean palaces at the end of the Late Bronze Age, trade connections with Egypt and the Near East were severed as Greece entered a period of impoverishment and limited contact. During the eighth and seventh centuries B.C., the Greeks renewed contacts with the northern periphery of Africa. They established settlements and trading posts along the Nile River and at Cyrene on the northern coast of Africa. Already at Naukratis, the earliest and most important of the trading posts in Africa, Greeks were certainly in contact with Africans[[[[[. [b]It is likely that images of Africans,*** if not*** Africans themselves, began to reappear in the Aegean[/b].]]]]] In the seventh and early sixth centuries B.C., Greek mercenaries from Ionia and Caria [b]served under the Egyptian pharaohs[/b] Psametikus I and II. All black Africans were known as Ethiopians to the ancient Greeks, as the fifth-century B.C. historian Herodotus tells us, and their iconography was narrowly defined by Greek artists in the Archaic (ca. 700–480 B.C.) and Classical (ca. 480–323 B.C.) periods, black skin color being the primary identifying physical characteristic. It is recorded that Ethiopians were among King Xerxes’ troops when Persia invaded Greece in 480 B.C. Thus, the[b] Greeks would have come into contact with large numbers of Africans at this time[/b]. Nonetheless, most ancient Greeks had only a vague understanding of African geography. They believed that the land of the Ethiopians was located south of Egypt. In Greek mythology, [b]the pygmies were the African race that lived furthest south on the fringes [/b]of the known world, where they engaged in mythic battles with cranes (26.49). Ethiopians were considered exotic to the ancient Greeks and their features contrasted markedly with the Greeks’ own well-established perception of themselves. The black glaze central to Athenian vase painting was ideally suited for representing black skin, a consistent feature used to describe Ethiopians in ancient Greek literature as well. Ethiopians were featured in the tragic plays of Aeschylus, Sophokles, and Euripides; and preserved comic masks, as well as a number of vase paintings from this period, indicate that Ethiopians were also often cast in Greek comedies. Well into the fourth century B.C., Ethiopians were regularly featured in Greek vase painting, especially on the highly decorative red-figure vases produced by the Greek colonies in southern Italy (50.11.4). One type shows an Ethiopian being attacked by a crocodile, most likely an allusion to Egypt and the Nile River. Depictions of Ethiopians in scenes of everyday life are rare at this time, although one tomb painting from a Greek cemetery near Paestum in southern Italy shows an Ethiopian and a Greek in a boxing competition. With the establishment of the Ptolemaic dynasty and Macedonian rule in Egypt, after the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C., came an increased knowledge of Nubia (in modern Sudan), the neighboring kingdom along the lower Nile ruled by kings who resided in the capital cities of Napata and later Meroe.
