[QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness,: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: Thirdly, if you read Manilius' complete writings of his [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=007013]Astronomica[/URL] you will see that he divides the world into black races and white races with the Mediterranean Sea as the division between them which was an ancient Greek view.

The Ethiopians stain the world and depict a race of men steeped in darkness; less sun-burnt are the natives of India; the land of Egypt, flooded by the Nile, darkens bodies more mildly owing to the inundation of its fields: it is a country nearer to us and its moderate climate imparts a medium tone.[/i] [/QUOTE] https://www.loebclassics.com/browse?pageSize=10&sort=relevance&source=%2FLCL469%2F1977%2Fvolume.xml [/QB][/QUOTE]
