[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cass/: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sudaniya: I suspect that it's only "racist" to Cass because he knows that were it not for the ancient Egyptians... the Minoans and Phoenicians would not have transmitted all that they learned from the ancient Egyptians to the ancient Greeks; Rome conquered the Greeks and got their hands on this pool of knowledge, and when Rome subsequently conquered some of the Northwest Europeans (Brits included) that's when his Germanic ancestors were first introduced to civilization. [/QUOTE]Northwest Europeans (my ancestors) were basically savages in ancient times, but we excelled ourselves in the last 500 years: industrial revolution, British empire (the largest empire in history), and so on. Below the Sahara, the situation in ancient times was very similar to northern Europe- there was no civilization there. Like you've said in your own posts, the civilizations in Africa were all in the north (Egypt, Nubia etc.) Northwest Europeans don't cling to a pan-Euro identity because we have our own modern historical accomplishments and there's no self hatred. With Sub-Saharan Africans though its different, they cling to the pan-African identity to latch themselves onto North Africans because they're ashamed of their lack of accomplishments. Modern Sub-Saharan African countries are still poorly developed. To put it bluntly, there was no industrial revolution in the Congo. [/QB][/QUOTE]
