[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] Yup Hawass is an anti-African bigot. who imagines Egyptians sprung from Nile silt with no human antecedents like all other peoples on the planet. Current science knows immediately before the Egyptian state formed, migrants entered the Nile from every available aspect point. Mainly Sahrans of two stocks Sudanese and Libyan who were supplemented with Levantines. People also moved north directly from Sudan's Nile to Egypt's Nile. Then, what nonsense to assign Sam and Hham as historical entities. Amazing how the article uses the very term of this old thread [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=006740;p=1]The Black Land/soil nonsense put to bed... no pun intended![/URL] Diop pushed no afrocentric theory. Diop analyzed materials at his disposal for his conclusions decades before the term had any currency. Petri work is over 100 years old, written 30 years after American slavery ended. Volney was no Egyptologist He was not black He was not African Volney was explicit. [QUOTE] [QUOTE]Originally posted 05 June, 2005 by Atheist: In the late Eighteenth century a frenchman by the name of Count [b] Constantine de Volney[/b] (1757-1820) wrote a wonderful history book entitled, [i]The Ruins of Empire,[/i] which described his journeys in Egypt between 1783 and 1785. This book became a bestseller in France and the demand for it was so great that an English version was printed and an "American Edition" became available in the mid 1790's. Volney's description of the ancient monuments were fair and objective. He described the appearance of the [URL=http://ndrln]sphinx as "Typically negro in all its features."[/URL] To some, Volney's descriptions were too accurate, and they had to be "modified." For example. in deference to the American attitude regarding people of African descent, British editors decided to omit several lines of text from pages 15, 16 and 17 in the American edition of "Ruins of Empire." One specific quotation described the ancient kingdoms of Ethiopia and the Egyptian city of Thebes. Another edited statement which described the people of kemet read: . [b]There are a people, now forgotten, who discovered, while others were yet barbarians, the elements of the arts and sciences. A race of men, now ejected from society for their sable skin and frizzy hair, founded on the study of the laws of nature, those civil and religious systems which still govern the Universe.[/b] Volney discovered this glaring omission only after he had mastered the English language, and he forbade the future sale of his work until such time as it could be published in it's entirety. This act of censorship certainly was not an isolated incident; it was representative of a clear and consistent pattern of covering up and denying African historical accomplishments. The gross misrepresentations of Nile Valley history have been referred to as a "Stolen Legacy," and has been and continues to be perpetuated by many "learned scholars" for hundreds of years.

No ethnocentric ideology needed. ES been refuting that Hawass nonsense ever since ever since. [/QB][/QUOTE]
