AFRICAN MOORS: THE APPEARANCE OF THE ORIGINAL BERBERS ACCORDING TO EUROPEAN PERC
EPTIONS BY DANA MARNICHE
The Appearance of the Original Berbers According to European Perceptions.. All th
e early major Berber tribes including the:
Masmuda,
Sanhaja,
Ketama Zenata and
Nafusa are described as dark reddish brown like the Indi or as blacks or Ethiopians
in early documents (12th century the notion of the early Berbers as being whites o
r Caucasoid is a new and racist one related to the concept of the African Hamite.
Certainly the original Berber-speakers were never referred to as anything but bla
ck or something near it until the 12th century and were otherwise considered the
color of Abyssinians and other so called Indi.
12th century CE The original Berber-speakers were never referred to as anything
but black or something near it until the 12th century and were otherwise considere
d the color of Abyssinians and other so called Indi.
19th century CE The Kabyles a notoriously fair-skinned Berber people of North Afri
ca are up until the 19th century described as brown apart from a few clans. The know
ledge that Europeans were changing the complexion literally and figuratively of
North Africa up until the 19th century has disappeared from modern European hist
ories.
Most know about the large part played by sub-saharan black slaves in the making
of modern North Africa and Arabia.
15th century CE The white slave trade was the dominant trade in North Africa unt
il the fall of Constantinople (Istanbul in Turkey) in the 15th century had been
largely ignored in historical writings of the 20th. A few centuries ago European
s visiting North Africa commenting on the fact that, on almost every street of th
e cities of Barbary, Europeans could be seen harnessed to carts like draught hor
ses or selling water from jars loaded on the backs of donkeys.
1500 to 1650 CE From 1500 to 1650 when trans-Atlantic slavery was still in its in
fancy more Europeans were taken to Barbary than black African slaves to the Amer
icas. See, Robert Davis Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the M
editerranean, the Barbary Coast, and Italy, 1500-1800, MacMillan Publishers, pub
lished 2003.
The impact of the white slave trade and its contribution to the modern biology a
nd appearance of the modern North African stems from before the Arabian and Musl
im waves into Africa. The Roman ruler Claudian spoke concerning Gildo, the Mooris
h ruler of Africa and treatment of Roman women from the Levant by this North Afri
can chief and his countrymen:
1809 CE Commentary on those called Moors by an early 19th century observer: They ca
rry the Christian captives about the desert to the different markets to sell the
m for they soon discover that their habits of life render them unserviceable , o
r very inferior to the black slaves of Timbuktoo. from An Account of the Empire
of Marocco, by J. G. Jackson published 1809 and 1814.
4th century CE Claudian wrote, when tired of each noblest matron Gildo hands he
r over to the Moors. These Sidonian mothers, married in Carthage city must needs
mate with barbarians. He thrusts upon me an Ethiopian as a son-in law, a Berber
as a husband. The hideous hybrid affrights its cradle. Claudian, by Claudius Cla
udianus, translation by Maurice Platnauer, Published by G.P. Putnams sons, 1922 p
. 113. (Gildo was brother to other Berber chiefs Firmus and Maseczel. Gildo is r
elated to Aguellid or Galdi which remains the modern Tuarek word for chief. Mase
k, Amazigh ot Imoshagh was the name for the ancient and modern Tuareg clans in g
eneral. The Mezikes tribes were called Ethiopians in a Roman text of the time. )
The Zenata are called a Canaanite race by other Muslim writers (see The Berbers Ge
o. Babington Michell, Journal of the Royal African Society, Vol. 2, No. 6/Jan.,
1903, pp. 161-194). The traditions state that in fact Berbers were descendants o
f Amalekites (Amalek) from Canaan and Himyarite from Yemen both descendants of Ad
ites that had invaded Egypt before 1200 B.C. and advanced toward the Maghreb.
The Berbers as represented by the Tuareg especially appear to have called themse
lves Mashek or Mazigh who are associated with bringing the camel into Africa. Ma
shek is still the name of a tribe of the Mahra of Oman and Hadramaut who also cl
aim an origin in the Yemen.
8th century CE Most Arab-speaking historians beginning as far back as the 8th ce
ntury when Wah ibn Munabihh a South Arabian and descendant of an Iranian mercena
ry claimed the Berbers belonged to black races of Ham. Several Muslim writers cl
aimed the Berbers were the sons of Berr who were said to descend from Mazigh ibn
(son of ) Canaan Ibn Ham Ibn Nuh (Noah) (The tradition found cited in Nafousa:
Berber Community in Western Libya, Omar Sahli citing Dabbuz. Retrieved on-line f
rom http://www.tawalt.com/monthly/fessato_1.pdf , July. 12, 2008).
11th century The Berber women are from the island of Barbara, which is between th
e west and the south. Their color is mostly black though some pale ones can be f
ound among them. If you can find one whose mother is of Kutama, whose father is
of Sanhaja, and whose origin is Masmuda, then you will find her naturally inclin
ed to obedience and loyalty in all matters, active in service, suited both to mo
therhood and to pleasure, for they are the most solicitous in caring for their c
hildren. 11th century the Christian Iraqi physician Ibn Butlan quoted by histori
an Bernard Lewis.
11th century Nasr i Khusrau, an Iranian ruler described the Masmuda soldiers of
the Fatimid dynasty as black Africans. See Yaacov Lev, Army, Regime and Society in
Fatimid Egypt, 358-487/968-1094, International Journal of Middle Eastern Studies,
19.3 (1987) p. 342.
13th century Primary Cronica General of Alphonso X of Spain describes the 300 Al
moravid Amazon women whose leader is described as black and Moorish. They were led
by their leader Nugaymath al-Tarqiyya (the star of the Tuareg archers in Arabic) w
ho led the Almoravid siege of Valencia; cited in Nubian Queens in the Nile Valley

vdatayn. Found in Golden Age of the Moor, 1991 edition p. 57, edited by Dr. Ivan
Van Sertima.
14th The Almoravid or Al Murabitun dynasty coming from the Atlas was one of the
last dynasties coming from Africa to rule in the Iberian peninsula. One of the 1
1th century rulers of Andalusia and North Africa was Yusuf Tachfin who had come
from a long line of miltary rulers. According to Roudh el-Kartas (History of the R
ulers of Morocco) by Abd Allah, and A.Beaumiers French translation of the 14th ce
ntury work, Yusuf was of brown color, of middle height with , thin, little beard, so
ft voice and woolly hair. The Almoravid dynasty was supposedly composed mainly of S
anhaja clans of Massufa, Joddala (Gaetuli) and Lamtuna (or Auelimidden Tuareg)-
the Auelamidden have since moved southward and live in Niger.

119 THOUGHTS ON AFRICAN MOORS: THE APPEARANCE OF THE ORIGINAL BERBERS ACCORDING T
O EUROPEAN PERCEPTIONS BY DANA MARNICHE
COMMENT NAVIGATION OLDER COMMENTS
Nehesy
JUNE 21, 2009 AT 7:45 AM
Hi Dear Tariq Berry
Europeans cant explain our history , one of the main reason is because they dont u
nderstand our language.
The Portuguese (slave raiders) arrived in Senegal the first and they didnt meet t
he moors, but the serers who killed a bunch of them;
I know this thesis : Senegal is from the Zenaga (which was a pejorative name in
the time of the french colony see Maurice Delafosse) berber tribe is highly diff
used but its wrong:
Su Nu Gaal means Our Dugout, the name of the country Sngal is taken from the river
Sngal; like for the country Congo and the river of the same name;
When the french arrived in our country, Moors didnt rule Senegal, the Almoravides
kingdom was passed away many centuries ago. We had many kingdoms with black afr
ican rulers: Baol, Cayor,Djoloff; Wolofs; ie the moors didnt rule our country dur
ing the French colonisation; They were settled in the North at Mauritanian/Seneg
alese border like nowadays;
The Almoravides berbers didnt rule Senegal even if they were settled there in ord
er to flee the persecution ( Berbers were generally christians or jews before th
eir rising); Their capital was Marrakech in Morocco (founded by Yusuf Ibn Tashfi
n);
There were also black Almoravides named Mannas, Yusuf Ibn Tashfin ( whose mother
was sonink or Sarakholl) and his cousin Abu Bakr were allied to War Diabi Ndiaye
King of Tekrour and Ibrahima Sall; This is why there wasso many black soldiers a
nd rulers in Spain during the Almoravid period. Yusuf Ibn Tashfin himself was a
black African and had many africans in his family [ See the work of , Seidou Kan
e and Aboubacry Moussa Lam ]
What I was trying to say is that the Almoravides was a group of Berbers (Black a
nd White) allied with muslims West Africans rulers (Fulanis and Tuculors mainly)
;
The Zenaga ( many berber tribes, Lemtuna, Sanhaja,Messoufa etc) were generally s
ettled in North Africa (Morocco, Algeria etc) , while few of them lived in black
Africa; Even today the majority of the zenaga are in North Africa specially the
Sanhaja (who lived in Morocco);
In Mauritania for instance it was not the Zenaga who had the power but the Hassa
niya;
As I explain to Dana earlier, the name of the actual capital of Sngal is Dakar in
French , in our Language its Dakhar (Tamarind), the kh is pronounced with the j in sp
anish; Dakhar was the Name of the tree where our ancestors used to have meetings
in order to settle important issues. But they called our capital Ndakarou which
is now Dakar;
French did the same in many countries in Africa, for instance Algeria (Algrie in
French) was named Al Djazair by the locals, french couldnt say it so they transfo
rmed it into Algrie;
Abb David Boilat (19th century) a french bishop ( his mother was senegalese , a s
ignare) who understood wolof had the same explanation of the name senegal; Mauri
ce Delafosse who studied many years the languages and peoples of the French suda
n (West Africa), has the same too;
Moors have never ruled the senegalese specially the wolof who is a warrior peopl
e; even during the slave trade their arrival were forbidden in many new countrie
s: Hispaniola, Porto Rico, Colombia, Panama etc. They were the people who led th
e first slave rebellion in the new world: Santo Domingo (1522), Porto Rico (1527
), Panama (1530, 1531) etc;
The Moors have been enemies to west Africans countries since the 16 th century w
hen the king of Morocco destroyed Tomboctou with his English Allies ( Djouder Pa
cha) and their guns and canons;
During the slave trade French and british (Governor OHara) provided guns to the M
oors of Mauritania in order to destroy the senegalese people and to provide slav
es to these slave dealer nations. Since that time ours relations are based on di
strust;
If you know any senegalese in New York learned or not, around you please ask him
. You can even contact the senegalese scholars at University Cheikh Anta DIOP, t
hey wont accept this equation : SENEGAL is from ZENEGA;

Hi Nehesy,
You said:

derstand our language.
Unfortunately, much of what is written and read in the history books of the form
er colonized countries of the area was written by the former colonizers.
You said:
Su Nu Gaal means Our Dugout, the name of the country Sngal is taken from the river
Sngal; like for the country Congo and the river of the same name
But read this:
As early as 1850 Abbey David Boilat wrote in his Sketches of Senegal that it was
in fact a deformation of the Wolof words suu gaal, meaning our pirogue. As it is a
very popular explanation, it is the one most frequently found in the media. Howe
ver, since the 1960s it has been questioned and several other etymologies have be
en suggested, including its being attributed to the toponym of a Saharan Berber
tribe, the Zenaga. Even today the debate continues.
Who is this Abbey David Boilat? Read this:
Boilat, Abb Pierre D.
fl. 1840 to 1853
Catholic
Senegal
One of the first French-assimilated Senegalese, he was the first African to stud
y African culture and society from a Western perspective.
He was one of a group of young Senegalese selected by missionary educators to st
udy in France in order to prepare for teaching in Senegal. Ordained in France in
1841, he returned to Senegal two years later to open a secondary school in St.
Louis. The school was plagued with personnel problems and a loss of French suppo
rt because it aimed to give its students a classical French education. It ceased
to exist in 1849. Boilat was transferred from the school in 1845, accused of im
moral conduct. During his tenure there and later on the island of Gore he studied
the history and societies of the interior. His work was published as Esquisses
Sngalaises (1853), illustrated with his own accomplished drawings. The book also s
et forth Boilats assimilationist philosophy.
You said:

can rulers: Baol, Cayor,Djoloff; Wolofs; ie the moors didnt rule our country duri
ng the French colonisation; They were settled in the North at Mauritanian/Senega
lese border like nowadays
What do you mean when you say that the Moors were settled in the north? Does it
make a difference what part of Senegal they were in- north or south? Can you exp
lain what you mean by that?
What exactly do you mean by black African rulers. You know that Yousef Ibn Tashf
in was dark-skinned with kinky hair and he was from the Sanhaja tribe. Do you co
nsider him a black African ruler? He looked like the other people in the area no
w called Senegal. Do you agree with the tradition that the Wolof are descended f
rom Yousef Ibn Tashfins cousin Abu Bakr Ibn Umar (Abu Dardai) and that this Abu B
akr Ibn Umar had a son named Ahmed (Amadu), who was called Ndyayan Ndyay (the an
cestor of the Wolof)? Do you reject this? If so, why?
You said:
What I was trying to say is that the Almoravides was a group of Berbers (Black an
d White) allied with muslims West Africans rulers (Fulanis and Tuculors mainly)
Here you have Berbers on one side and Muslim West African rulers on another side
. Can you explain the distinction?
Nehesy, when talking about history, can we use terms like Africa or African? Wha
t do we mean by these terms? Before the coming of the European colonizers, no on
e called himself/herself an African and a place called Africa was unheard of. It
was the European colonizers who started separating people and giving them their
classifications. They decided to make some people in the area that you call Afr
ica Africans and people just a stones throw across the Bab Al Mandab another, sep
arate people. They want to make people like the Wolof consider themselves differ
ent from and unrelated to peoples like the Zenaga and other Sanhaja, for example
. They want the Wolof to reject the tradition that they are descended from the S
anhaja. They want them to consider themselves Africans and to consider the Sanha
ja a separate, white, Berber or Arab people. Black-skinned people are not only f
rom the area that you call Africa. The descendants of Ham and the descendants of
Sam were dark-skinned people. The descendants of Jafeth were light-skinned. Try
to understand, Nehesy, that the Mandingo drawn in this picture (drawing by Boil
at himself) looks like an Arab 100%. http://hitchcock.itc.virginia.edu/SlaveTrad

Dear Tariq
Europeans cant explain our history even if they wrote it. For instance the old an
cient Egyptian language is an African language that we can find nowadays in all
other africa within the following tribes:
Woloff
Bamilks
Yorubas
Soninks
Fulanis or peuls
etc, etc
But Europeans scholars cant or dont want to say the truth so they speak of a Semit
ic Egypt even if their language has only survived in black Africa; They dont spea
k African languages so they cant make the relation;
I have the chance to speak my language even if was born in France, my parents (M
y father is Wolof, my mother is Fulani), taught it to me. So when I read the med
u neter many words are familiar to me and have the same meaning in my native lan
guage.
When I made the distinction between the Berbers (Black and Whites) and the West
African rulers, it was a modern way to make everybody understand.
We Africans dont call ourselves Africans but by the name of the different ethnics
groups or tribes : Woloffs, Lebous, Susus, Malinks, Bambara, Khassonkh, Yoroubas,
Ibos, Mossis, Diolas, Mandiaks etc, etc.
And we can recognise each other just by a look
Youll find the same process in all over Africa , East, West, North , South.
Even the berbers or touaregs distinguished themselves by the name of their tribe
s. They dont call themselves North Africans, except here in Europe in order to ex
plain their origin;
In my language wolof we call the Berbers (black or whites) : NAR , and we call t
he moors of Mauritania : NAR GANAR , GANAR is Mauritania;
We use the same word to call the Arabs ie NAR, but you knew our culture in west
africa youll find out that its very impossible (Zenega gave the name of Senegal).
I dont reject that some tribes africa came from Arabia (Yemen) or even Persia, be
cause I found it in other books ( Caussin de Perceval, Flora Shaw, Adolphe Bloch
), but what happened between the Berbers and us make this thesis impossible (Zen
ega gave the name of Sngal)
I doesnt object that there is black Berbers tribes too because I saw them with my
own eyes, and of one my childhood friend is a black berber from Algeria and he
looks like an Ethiopian or Somalian. I saw them too in Morocco.
My mother told me that when I was I child some moors in Senegal asked her if my
father was a moor, even if Im ebony black.
I know that wikipedia says that LAbb boilat was perhaps wrong but the people who w
rote this article cant speak woloff. Abb Boilat was right I think because at least
he spoke and understood woloff;
At the Border between Mauritania you have Blacks and Moors, you have (had) more
blacks (mainly Soninks and fulanis) in Mauritania than Moors in Senegal. The Ghan
a empire was located in some parts of modern Mauritania but it was ruled by Blac
ks, soninks named Ciss. It was the black griots who allowed Bonnel de Mezires to fo
und the location of Ghana in 1918, not Berbers or Arabs;
One big problem in Africa history, is that Europeans want to make everything civ
ilization coming from the Berbers ( specially the White Berbers) : Ghana, Songha
i, Zimbabwe, Tomboctou etc. The big problem is that Its hard to find these kind o
f civilizations in North Africa ( except the Carthaginians who were Phoenicians
, Romans, Numidians). This is why they try to berberized Black civiizations in the
mother continent even ancient Egypt
In the North of Senegal you have also some fulanis and soninks, but what I was tr
ying to say that you couldnt find a Moorish empire in Senegal when French arrived
The Portuguese had destroyed them before by raids and kidnapping, and they were
sold as slaves in Portugal , Spain and in the New world ( See : Michael Gomez, D
e Azurara, Gilberto Freyre etc)
?
The best thing I could suggest to you is to contact the Senegalese scholars at C
heikh Anta DIOPs University, theyll tell you the same thing I guess.
And about Ndiadiane Ndiaye they are actually from Soudan (Nuer) like many groups
from sngal, people with the names: Ly, Sy, Ka, Ba, DIOP, Kane, Wane
In our legend Ndiadiane Ndiaye is a Brother of Djob or Diop both are from Sudan,
you can see it in Cheikh Anta DIOPs Books (Cicilization or Barbarism)
We wolofs are nothing to do with berbers except some unions (War like for the al
moravid, marriage ) because :
Our language is different
Our customs are different (we are totemic not the Berbers)
The origins of the Wolof people has to be found on the Nile Valley (Egypt and So
udan) not from the berbers or arabs; Cheikh Anta DIOP has prooved without any do
ubt.
For instance the name DIOP is DIOB or DJOB in wolof. The totemic animal for thi
clan is the Hoopoe (Upupa epops). Their child have the same hairdress style (Hoo
poe).
When you take the Gardiner Dictionnary page 469 it says that the Hoopoe or Upupa
epops was called db by ancient Egyptians : db = DIOB, DJOB
In africa the family name is lake the finger prints, so that Berber theory cant s
tand Ndiaye and DIOP are wolof/lebou names,Barry, Diallo, Ly, Sy, Ka , Ba are Ful
anis/ Tuculors (From Tekrour names). You had also Pharoahs of the first dynasty
who were called Ba, and Ka (see Toby Wilkinson). Diedhou or San is Diola, Camara
(Ka-Ma-Ra) is mandingo, Sankara or Sankar ( San-Kha-R) sometimes sonink ( One phara
oah was named Sankhar); Siby or Dram are soninks name etc,etc
Nevertheless you may find some wolof who have the same features of the black ber
bers or black arabs, but its general to all other Africa : Somalia, Ethiopia, Rwa
nda, Guinea etc.
Berber culture is from Ethiopia, Martin Bernal and others has showed it.

No Doubt within the moors or black berbers in North AFrica ( Algeria, Morocco, T
unisia, Libya) many of them are black and they are autochtonous people.
In south Morocco you can find Bob marleys doubles. Actually you have many north a
fricans rastas specially Algerians, they wear dreadlocks and smoke ganja lol.
Many moors during roman times were blacks and had dreadlocks Im sure about this (
I discovered it into Snowden and Van Sertima books, RIP Both). The word Moors w
as dedicated for black north Africans and then socialized to all North Africans.

Hi Jahdey
Its only a guess, but I think that French gave this name Senegal to our country S
enegal according to the name given to the natives to that river ie sunugaal. Lik
e Congo in central Africa or Niger in West Africa.
Sngal was part of the Mandingo Empire (Soundjata Keita) . And before the French ca
me the all country was called Djoloff by our ancestors.
When the first empire collapsed according to some wolof traditions, a moor (fath
er Lemtuna and a fulani mother from the tekrour named Farimata Sall) renamed Ndi
adiane Ndiaye by a priest was the first ruler.
His father being Lemtuna (from the zenega group) I guess some people made this r
elationship between Zenega and Senegal. This idea is not stupid though, but the
key is the understanding of the wolof language.
Wo-lof or Wa-laf as said by Cheikh Anta Diop , is a maritime people. Laf means t
he rivers Bank. Perhaps they used the name sunugaal for this river because it was
a mean for travel or transport, it would be an explanation for the meaning Our
Pirogue.
This Ndiadiane Ndiaye is different from the 1st we know in our tradition who cam
e from the Sudan.
However in our tradition he (the 2nd Ndiadiane Ndiaye) had a brother called Bark
a who gave the name of the king of Walo (another kingdom in Senegal) : Barka; Ba
rak; Brak.
Barka has a Carthaginian root.
Ndiadiane Ndiayes mother was a Belianke Fulani (Farimata Sall).
In our langage BEL + IANKE means Men of Bel or Baal a Phoenician or canaanite Go
d. Like MALINKE is people from Mali;
The family Name BAL or BAAL is present within the tuculors of tekrour.
May be their forefathers are those people whose story is described by Hanno of C
arthage .
Without no Doubt , Koushites from the Middle East and Arabia settled in Africa : E
ast, North, West;
The best explanation I think could be given by our Elders ( theyre all agree abou
t sunugaal gave senegal though ) and the senegalese scholars at university cheik
h anta diop.

Great piece of narrative you have sent back to my question. However, you may be
missing my point.
If it was the French that named the River as Senegal, would they not be the best
ones to explain where they got that name and what they intended to say by it.
Insisting that the Wolof ethymology of Senegal suggests Suunugal rather than Zen
ega is somewhat of a leap.
The French named the River Niger after the Berber word Ger meaning River. So Ni-Ger
simply means the River. But the French had to identify the origin of this fancif
ul name they bestowed on to River Jolliba, which is the name by which the great
River is identified by many people in Guinea, Niger and Nigeria. One cannot legi
timately seek for the ethymology of Niger iin any other root.
Lake Victoria was so named by the British. It is only legitimate that we use the
British history of the naming of Victoria Lake to understand their reason for d
oing so. The indigenous Africans had different names for Lake Victoria, and we c
an look to those names when we seek the ethymology of the African names of the l
ake.
So back again to Senegal, my understanding is that the French named the River Se
negal after their habits for re-naming African landmarks. However, according to
the French sources, the origin of the name Senegal as they used it came from Zen
ega. Inspite of what the Wolofs may call Cannoe in their original language, the
French did not keep that in consideration when they named the great River as the
Zenega or the Senegal. At least, that is my understanding.
Sunugal as used by the Wolofs then may be a legitimate word in Wolof. But as use
d for the River, I think the French were trying to say Zenega.
Note: Guinea comes from a corruption of Gana (the old African Empire). Ghana was
long dead and gone by the time the Europeans renamed the coast as the coast of
Guinea. Also Old Ghana was also in North Africa and not down by the Atlantic coa
st.

This never theory ZENEGA/SENEGAL has never been validated by any senegalese scho
lar like Cheikh Anta DIOP, Aboubacry Moussa Lam, Ibrahima Sall, Birago DIOP, Ibr
ahima THIOUB, Leopold Sedar Senghor or any French scholar who understood wolof l
ike the french Maurice Delafosse.
Actually Maurice Delafosse in his book Haut Sngal Niger , Tome 1 in 1912, destroys t
his theory pages 58 to 62; he says that even El Bekri separated the name of the
Zenaga and the river Senegal.
We and Berbers have fought each other, married, allied, dominated each over ( Bl
ack kings with berbers vassals, slaves and concubines, and it happened the same
in the Berber side), I dont have any problem with that theory but according to wh
at I know ( may be Im wrong too) which means our culture, our mentally , our lang
uage it seems to me wrong.
El Bekri said that North Senegal was ruled by woloff and they dominated Trarzas
Tuaregs and The few Zenegas present in that region. Plus Maurice Delafosse prese
nted many testimonies from the first European travelers (since the 15 th century
) who always separated the Zenega Berbers with the name of the river Senegal.
You can download the book here :
http://gallica.bnf.fr/
Europeans in Africa have altered many names Zinguinchor from Izguichor, Angola w
ho was Ngola, Guinea is from Ghana and was a Vassal of that Empire with Senegal
and Mali;
I knew that Niger is not an autochtonous name like the Volta in Burkina Faso (An
ciently named Haute Volta by the French), Martin Bernal in Black Athena II and I
II says that its a semitic word N(gr) which means Water which flows(sinks) into th

However the Latin used this word NIGER as a synonym of beauty for the Nigretes o

hers occupied a great part of the sea-board. These Ethiopians were undoubtedly th
e ancestral Tuareg or the original Mazikes who are coming from the Yemen under t
heir ruler Teras or Idris bin Harun (Jether son of Aaron), the Midianite brother
of Yathrib (Jethro) bin Harun circa 1100 B.C..
These Ethiopians might have taken their name from the Niger as the early Nigreta
i were supposed to have been nomadic peoples and are mentioned with the nomad Ph
arusii in early sources. The latter are undoubtedly the Iforas( or Ifuraces also
anciently Afarik) Tuareg of modern Mali.
Interestingly Pliny speaks of the Gaetulians as extending to the river Nigris .

stward to the lake Heptabolus, where, changing its name, it is called the Niger.

As for slaves coming from Europe. Ive learned within the past few years that Over
the last 15 years their have been a number of scholarly books on the subject .
A number of reviews have been done on these books stating the figures. Some exam
ples are below
White Slaves, African Masters
An Anthology of American Barbary Captivity Narratives
Edited and with an introduction by Paul Baepler
The University of Chicago Press 1999
This book illuminates a subject once well-known in the history of the West but w
hich is now somewhat neglected: the enslavement, over several centuries, of tens
of thousands of white Christian Europeans and (later) Americans in Muslim North
Africa or the so-called Barbary states of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Tripoli.
Over the course of 10 centuries, tens of thousands of these unfortunates became
the possessions of Muslims in North Africa courtesy of the feared Barbary pirate
s. These pirates cruised the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean in search
of European and, later, American ships to pillage and plunder.
As Baepler notes in his introduction, Christian slaves of European ancestry were
hardly an uncommon phenomenon in the Barbary States. The Barbary pirates were e
xcellent seafarers and, from the Coasts of North Africa, sailed as far north as
Iceland (where they went ashore and captured 800 slaves during one incident) and
as far West as Newfoundland, Canada, where they pillaged more than 40 vessels a
t one time. By 1620, reports Baepler, there were more than 20,000 white Christia
n slaves in Algiers alone, and by the 1630s that number tolled more than 30,000
men and 2,000 women. The most famous of all white Christian Europeans to serve a
s a slave in the Barbary States was probably Miguel de Cervantes, the great Span
ish author of the Don Quixote epic, who was taken as a slave in the late 1500s.
In a 1902 book entitled, The Moors: A Comprehensive Description
Another way in which the Europeans have been frequently outwitted is by the impor
tation of Circassian and other slaves and eunuchs from Turkey via braltar or Alg
iers in foreign vessels, usually entered as members of the family of their maste
r This is often the case with white concubines, who are in great demand, even if
natives. Consequently white girls are frequently kidnapped, and in time of war o
penly sold
We know that unlike the black women slaves in North Africa, the European or whit
e slave women were brought to Africa especially for among other things, propogat
ion purposes especially Circassians.

I think there is many studies and books about berbers,and each one is contradict

olonial ideology (the arabs ,and the europeans),to say that the early kabyles we
re brown skin or dark skin ,then the modern kabyles are fair skin is stupide.the
kabyles are whites folks with a very mixt origins,since the neolhitic . I can s
peak as a Kabyle myself, for me and my entire family (all being berber-kabyles f
or generations),I myself am very light skinned, and blond, many of my family .co
usins,friends are as well, and blue eyed, which are almost non-existant traits a

Yes the word part is even the brown Moroccans dont want anything to do with black
Africa, something like many northern Egyptians. They are racist because of the
influence of the late Ottoman Empire from the 1700s forward a time in which most
of the slaves brought into Morocco and North Africa were from so- called black
Africa (unlike the previous 1,000 years). Of course European colonialism across
Northern Africa and Arabia added to this.

in fact there are still dark -skinned kabyles. Furthermore, the area that has be
en considered Kabylia has also seen change in the last 200 years. Kabylia and th
e Aures were connected peoples the area AS ARCHEOLOGY SHOWS has been settled by
blond Vandals, iron age Greeks, Berbers and Romans. And also many European slave
s have come to the region as Berber came down from the mountains to acquire conc
ubines. There is nothing contradictory about colonial observations. They basical
ly said the majority of the Berber clans of Kabylia were dark or near black and
that some were not. They also said these people dressed differently and had diff
erent or distinct cultures.
You are right Kabylians today are a result of mixture of peoples of diverse orig
in since the iron age. The Berbers who occupied Kabylia were called Kitama and w
ere the Moors spoken of by Procopius who had black skins unlike the Vandals. Their d
escendants the Imakitan are still near black in color.
Thus, iIf you are trying to to say early Berbers were blond and blue eyed or tha
t even most whites in kabylia were blond and blue-eyed you need to start studyin
g the Vandal, Greek and Roman heritage of Kabylia. maybe that will resolve some
heritage issues for you. Stop leaving that out which is part of your MANIPULATING
HISTORY and we wont be having this discussion!.

You are correct in that anybody who today speaks Berber is called a Berber or Moor
s. That doesnt mean they have anything to do with the people anciently called Ber
bers by Greeks, Romans and Byzantines.
Berbers are not a homogeoneous people or culture.
There is little doubt that the whole of North Africa spoke Berber languages at on
e time while in the Middle Ages they occupied much of Spain and Sicily as well.
But just as the dialects are mutually incomprehensible so the people themselves
are extremely heterogeneous: the existence of an ethnically defined unified peop
le is no more demonstrable for the past than it is today. Indeed, there are a be
wildering number of cultures, economies and physical characteristics.

Algeria: A Country Study, which reads: The Berbers are a composite people, presen
ting a broad range of physical types and the bond among various Berber groups is
almost entirely a linguistic one.

We are all a mixture of different groups. Even if you go as north as possible in
Europe, the scandinavians have asiatic features, and it has been genetically pr
oven that nordic people are part asian, although people like to say they are the
purest of the whites. every god damn population in the world had admixtures fro
m other groups that were racially different than they were. Skin color and eye c

blond blue eyed asians up in North Europe.
All of these afrocentrists are also significantly of european ancestry. afrocent

Someone proud of their Germanic heritage put the above videos up about the Vanda

Ancient History Sourcebook:
Procopius of Caesarea:
Gaiseric & The Vandal Conquest of North Africa, 406 477 CE
Now the Vandals, dwelling about the Maeotic Lake [the Sea of Azov], since they we
re pressed by hunger, moved to the country of the Germans, who are now called Fr
anks, and the river Rhine, associating with themselves the Alans, a Gothic peopl
e Thus the Libyans were visited with every form of misfortune.
The Vandals and the Alans he arranged in companies, appointing over them no less
than eighty captains, whom he called chiliarchs [i.e., leaders of a thousand], maki
ng it appear that his host of fighting men in active service amounted to eighty
thousand. And yet the number of the Vandals and Alans was said in former times,
at least, to amount to no more than fifty thousand men. However, after that time
by their natural increase among themselves and by associating other barbarians
with them they came to be an EXCEEDINGLY NUMEROUS PEOPLE. But the names of the A

Thanks for posting these quotes from my site, Sancho.
I will add a few more
It is in Tunisia that Corippus poetically speaks of how during an officers meeti
ng the Berber leader Antalus the Moor is Hades surrounded by black faces ( nigrae f
acies) a war council of a thousand monsters lining the path out of Hell. (see Stark
s, John, Was Black Beautiful in Vandal Africa in African Athena p. 256 published 2
011)
the Fatimid army was largely an infantry force composed of blacks. (Nasir Khusrau
included the Masimida among the blacks). See Yaacov Lev, State and Society in Fat
imid Egypt. pp. 93-94 published 1991.
Masamida were Berbers from the Western Maghreb. Nasir-i Khusrau, however, says th
at they were blacks and characterized them as infantry who used lances and sword
s. From Yaacov Levs Army, Regime and Society in Fatimid Egypt.
Nasir Khusrau was a Persian lived in the 11th century.
Abu Shama a Syrian living in the 13th century also called the Masmuda blacks. See
Bernard
Ibn Nadim in the 10th century claimed the same about the Berbers, Nabataeans and
Zanj. He wrote
The Masmuda or Masamida today are mostly fair skinned Berbers the Ghomara still
being among the largest clan of the Masmuda as they were in the ancient times wh
en they were still BLACK.
Ibn Nadim in the 10th century claimed the same about the Berbers, but also about
the northern Arabian Nabataeans and the East African Zanj.
From his book The Fihrist we learn The Nabataeans were people with black complexi
on. See Inscriptional Evidence of Pre-Islamic Classical Arabic by Saad Abdulhaab,
p. 10 We also learn that those who adopted the Nabataeans lifestyle AND ARAMAEAN
LANGUAGE came to be called Nabti. That is why there are people today thinking th
e Nabataeans were something other than black. were also the Chaldaei or Khalid o
f the ancient world.
The Imama Reza the 8th holy Shiite Imam speaks of the black Nabati who came to suppor
t the Abbasids. He said in the 9th century the black Nabati have undertaken their
ministries. These people are still represented as Phillip Hitti rightly claimed
by the Haweitat or Huwaytat bedouin a still mainly near black complexioned group i
n the Sinai and Jordan area.
They are the reason in the Akhbar al-Zaman it says Among the children of Canaan
are the Nabit, Nabit signifies black (See the Curse of Ham, 2003, by David Goldenb
erg, p. 352 fn. 23) They are best known as the Ishmaelites or sons of Ishmael al
so called Kedar or Qudar. A name which also came to mean the black.
THus in the European Jewish commentaries it speaks of the the Kushim in the tent
s of Kedar And the word Kushi came to mean the blacks among Syrians as well and stil
l does in Israel.
The Nabataeans or Nabataei are a historically well-documented people whom al-Jah
iz in the 9th century had said were sailors on the Euphrates had big butts and w
ere ape-like in appearance!
In the inscriptions of the Nabonidus of Assyria these Nabataeans are called Amur
ru. (Arabia Before Muhammed, p. 53 by D. OLeary , 1927) They were the occupants o
f Teima and Duma to which is related the names Tema and Dumah, children of Ismai
l (Ishmael).
It is why Europeans spoke of these early true Arabians as the whole black Ishmaeli
te people accursed and senseless religion (See Christians, Blasphemers and Witches
by Joan C. Bristol, 2007, p . 28 )
Wrote Phillip Hitti in History of Syria the Nabataeans are represented by the low
ly Huwaytat Bedouins, who still rove where their ancestors once flourished and p
itch their tents outside of their rose-red city half as old as time 2004
But the Ishmaelites and Israelites were siblings : )
The sister tribe of the Nabataeans are called the Salamians or Salmonaeans. In the
Middle Ages they were known when they had turned to Islam as Banu Sulaym black a
s lava. They are called a sister tribe BY SCHOLARS because they are mentioned in se
veral ancient inscriptions from 1st c. BC to 4th century) together with the Naba
ti (Kedarites) extending from the Harrah region of the Hauran in southern Syria
and into Mesopotamia in the west. Both of these groups are the black Syrians menti
oned by Strabo. And they are the Solymi mentioned by Homer and Tacitus in the De
ad Sea region who were said to have founded Uru solyma, i.e. Jerusalem.
The Torah and European Jewish commentaries say the Salamian peoples were also de
signated the Kenites from the House of Hobab, Rechabites and Hammath. Biblical sch
olars also have said or surmised that these Solymi or Salmonaeans Kenites of Jor
dan, Hijaz, Najd and Syria were the same people as the Salma or Salmon of the To
rah 1 Chronicles 2:11, 51, 54 people who wrote the Akafa ka ama-Salma or Psalms. T
hus Moshe Gil points out that the Targum calls the Kenites, sons of Jethro, Salam
ians: the sons of Salmaa. see Jews in Islamic Countries in the Middle Ages, 2004,
p. 16.
Hence the people who came from Caleb father of Salma and became known as Judaean
s. See King Solomons Miners parts I, II and III on my blog for detailed confirmat
ion. These Salma and Caleb or Kaleb were the black Arabians known as Banu Kalb a
nd Sulaym bin Mansur in medieval writings and their clans of Habib or Hubayb, al
-Qayin or Baal Kain from the Baliyy branch of Banu Qudhaa from which was derived t
he name Kenite and Kuth, Hobab.
Now Heber the Kenite A descendant of Kain, a principal man among the Midianites;
the Targum calls him the Salmaean: [which was] of the children of Hobab The Midia
nites whom Josephus said occupied the Trogodyte area of Africa (ancient Berberia
) home of Afren or Afar or Faran. These were the people of Heber (Khaibar in Hij
az) from where came David ha Reubeni of the 15th century. a man of dark complexio
n, like a Negro according to Talmudist Gedaliah bin Yahyah which even Wikipedia m
entions.
This is why the Spanish Jewish explorer Benjamin of Tudela mentions the tribes of
Reuben, Gad, and half-Manasseh in the desert of Chabor (Kheibar). These are Sula
ym bin Mansur or Manaseir and their kin. (The Itinerary of Benjamin of Tudela, 19
07 translation Marcus Adler, p. 49.) Khaibar is in the volcanic Harrah where al-
Jahiz 9th c. mentions the Sulaym and all other tribes of the harrah being black l
ike the lava of the harrah .
According to the Torah or Bible these people founded Bethlehem -Ephrathah and Je
rusalem. Salma is son of Caleb who married Ephratahand from them came the Maonian
s or Meunites, Boaz, Natuphites, Jabez, Rechabites, Shemechites, Benjamin (Yamin)
, Atrothites and the house of David etc., etc.
The other names associated with these modern Huweitat people who claim to have o
riginated further south in Arabia are thus real Salmaeans or children of Judah a
nd other Israelites.
British Colonial adventurer Richard Burton speaks of the remnants of the Soleim
or Banu Sulaym mentions the in Jordan the Huwayti owners, the Sulaymiyyin, the Su
laymat in his Land of Midian Volume 2

The arguments that Libians where immigrants is simply ridiculous and politically m

There is also a high percentage of mechta individuals and less of the mediterran

Various early writers said that the Berbers were becoming light -skinned and blu
e -eyed in certain areas of North Africa due to the white Christian subject peop
les and slaves being brought to Africa from Spain. Ibn Tumart pointed out to the
people of Tinmal that many of their children had light complexions and blue eyes
, whereas their fathers had very dark skin and dark eyes. It was the legacy of t
he Christians who came every year to collect taxes for the Almoravid Amir in Mar
rakech, he said. (p. 150) From the book The Almoravids and the Meaning of jihad.
by Ron Messier.
Another major reason many people of North Africa have fair -skin and light eyes
was the import of concubines and slave women which had been happening since and
before the Byzantine era under the Galadi (chiefs) of the Tuareg until the 20th
century. Thus, there is mention in the time of Claudian of Gildo the Moor or Nasam
one importing women from the Levant woman so that Ethiopian hybrids affright the c
radles of Roman Africa. The name Nasamone comes from the name of the Tuareg clan
Inusamani still living in Africa!
The Tuareg were great slave traders who had many white slaves up until recently
and thus even they have become lighter.
My brother has one blue and one green eye and fair skin. We have European ancest
ry. It doesnt mean my African ancestors were fair-skinned with blue and green eye
s. My EUropean ancestors had fair-skin and light eyes. PERIOD!
I am not understanding what the inability of some people is to comprehend what h
appens biologically when people intermingle ? Too bad North Africans have been b
rainwashed into think there has been little intermixture of various Near Eastern
and European peoples with the black Africans Beriberi or al-Barabir whose compl
exion was so well documented in the ancient and medieval world. : (

anyone that has seen the result of admixture between blacks and caucasions knows
that it would take more than just over a century to make a black population loo
k caucasion and devoid of black features. I have friends that are black dominica
ns, and who have had ancestral dna tests tell them theyvare only like 50% subsah
aran, although they are as black psysically as can be. I have seen these already
mixed blacks have children with blond blue eyed people, and still have children
that are abviously part negro. That is not the physical appearance of white beb
ers people are talking about. These people are white, features and skin and all
and can fit in in Europe easily.

Dave Mowers December 12, 2013 at 10:57 PM You (sic) cite My bad for being di
ssive even of grammar when replying to such ridiculous posts.
Bill December 14, 2013 at 8:37 AM I didnt quote Diamond as proof of your s
straw man. I quoted his acclaimed, award winning work as a reputable source, cou
nteracting the bs youve posted. He is not a linguist but he knows what hes talking
about. Joseph Greenberg and Christopher Ehret are definitely leaders in the fie
ld however. I also referenced Keita. Thats a bit more than a single detractor. Wh
o have you referenced? Years of professional science behind Caucasian migration
theory? Who are you trying to fool? What archaeological evidence? As you said Di
amond IS an Anthropologist, so too is Keita. What do you have to refute what Dia
mond deems certain??.. That Near Eastern agriculturalists were Afrasian speakers
.
.
. Bill December 12, 2013 at 9:28 AM You also talk about AE mummies hav
ing Caucasian DNA, referencing the appearance of I2 in ancient specimen. Well, h
eres a quote from the beginning of the study you posted.. We applied, for the first
time, next-generations sequencing (NGS) technology on Egyptian mummies. Seven NG
S datasets obtained from five randomly selected Third Intermediate to GRAECO-ROM
AN Egyptian mummies (806 BC124AD) Obviously a Greco-Roman era mummy shows Caucasian
DNA. The study says only ONE of the five had this marker. Who are you trying to
fool? Also, OOA Theory is not solely based on a high concentration of specimen but
spans an entire series of disciplines. It is mostly the huge scope of archaeolo
gy in Africa including in situ diversity, carbon dating, and yes the sheer numbe
r of anatomically modern humans that forms the base theory. This archaeological
information has been corroborated by mitochondrial DNA evidence placing Mitochond
rial Eve in Ethiopia some 200,000ka. There is much more. We all know this, as we
know the term theory doesnt mean absolute, still, this doesnt change the evidence. You
also talk about Punt, the Egyptians homeland. As I said, no one knows for sure
where it is but the evidence points to Africa, mainly Ethiopia. As Diamond noted
, 12 of the 19 Semitic languages are spoken in Ethiopia exclusively, what does t
his tell you? Punt: in ancient Egyptian and Greek geography, the southern coast of
the Red Sea and adjacent coasts of the Gulf of Aden, corresponding to modern coa
stal ETHIOPIA and Djibouti. Encyclopdia Britannica, American Heritage Dictionary,
EWB There is still some debate regarding the precise location of Punt, which was o
nce identified with modern Somalia. A strong argument has been made for a locati
on in Southern Sudan or modern Eritria-ETHIOPIA. -Oxford History of Ancient Egypt R
emember Herodotus claimed Egypt was a colony of Ethiopia, not just Herodotus, th
e elder Greek historian, but general Ancient Egyptian lore and other Ancient Gre
ek sources as well.. 2. Now the Ethiopians, as historians relate, were the first of
all men and the proofs of this statement, they say, are manifest. For that they
did not come into their land as immigrants from abroad but were natives of it They
say also that the Egyptians are colonists sent out by the Ethiopians, Osiris ha
ving been the leader of the colony. For, speaking generally, what is now Egypt,
they maintain, was not land but sea when in the beginning the universe was being
formed; afterwards, however, as the Nile during the times of its inundation car
ried down the mud from Ethiopia, land was gradually built up from the deposit And t
he larger part of the customs of the Egyptians are, they hold, Ethiopian, the co
lonists still preserving their ancient manners. -Diodorus Siculus, The Library of H
istory, Books II.35 IV.58, Translated by C.H. Oldfather, Harvard University Pres
s, 2000 Heres an account regarding Punt from Queen Hatshepsut whose expedition to P
unt was depicted in reliefs shown in the link below. It is a glorious region of Gods

divert my heart, together with Mut, Hathor, Wereret,mistress of Punt, the mistre

of the Puntites, who do you see? It is also interesting to note the round hut l
ike houses of Punt and the tropical nature of the wildlife said to be taken from
there. Can you show me the leopards and giraffes of Central Asia? http://wysinger

es of history that Aryan, a word nowadays referring to the blond-haired, blue-ey

nt, seems you havent done all your homework. These are all credible sources your ca
ucasoid nonsense is null and void at this point. As I said, all the credible sch
olarship refutes you. They werent Indo-European, how could someone as intelligent
as yourself come to such a fervently incorrect conclusion unless through purpos
eful delusion. Upper Egypt IS Egypt..it was always written before Lower Egypt in t
heir inscriptions, we all know who united the Nile Valley. In general, the inhabita
nts of Upper Egypt and Nubia had the greatest biological affinity to people of t
he Sahara and more southerly areas. (Nancy C. Lovell, Egyptians, physical anthrop
ology of, in Encyclopedia of the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt, ed. Kathryn A. Bar

ncludes that the Nazlet Khater specimen is: (a) indisputably anatomically modern w
ith certain archaic characteristics; (b) related to the Nubian Epipaleolithic skelet
al series from Wadi Halfa and Jebel Sahaba; and (c) displays Negroid characteristics
such as alveolar prognathism and sub-nasal fossa. The results obtained from the multi
variate analyses performed in this study suggest: .. a sub-Saharan origin for the
Nazlet-Khater population type.. The specimen is clearly not associated with any othe
r North African or Levantine finds.. P. Vermeersch 2002. Paleolithic quarrying sites
Dave Mowers December 12, 2013 at 11:05 PM The Land of Punt was IN THE EAST
you people even bother to read what the Egyptians wrote? What a f_cking joke tr
ying to have a conversation based on historical facts when all you do is cite er
roneous garbage. Wasnt Herodotus called the father of lies as well? Oh, and are we
not talking about the mythical Aethiopians? You know the ones, from the land in
the sky or are you trying to place these peoples in Africa in a country named af
ter the mythology. A Greek name by the way not originated from Black African lan
guage. Why wont black create their own words if they created the name of the coun
try? So a bunch of ancient Phoenician-Greeks decide to name a place after their my
thology and that means somehow they are descended from blacks? Too funny.
Bill December 14, 2013 at 10:59 AM Queen Hatshepsuts account of Puntites as
outherns would qualify as what the Egyptians wrote. So would the depiction of Punt
ites in the link. What do you have to say of the wildlife in Punt? Are you sugge
sting anyone credible believes the Egyptisns came from the North, if so, who? Ive
already posted the study regarding the peopling of AE. Herodotus is more well kno
wn as the father of history. Despite his detractors, he is an extremely valuable
source and had no reason to lie about the appearance of ancient peoples. Much o
f the reason some look to discredit him is because of all the credit he gives to
Africa. Anyway, I didnt quote Herodotus, that lengthy bit was Diodorus Siculus..
And youre right were NOT talking about mythical Aethiopians.. The science and myt
hology ARE in agreement still.. The origin of Egypt and her people lies SOUTH..
They ARE Africans, most likely of a tropical, brown complexion..the linguists, a
nthropologists, and mythology all agree.
AWoLsco December 14, 2013 at 1:46 PM The origin of Egypt and her people lies
SOUTH.. They ARE Africans, most likely of a tropical, brown complexion.. I disagree
. Something I wrote earlier Africans as a result of mutation give rise to expelled outla
wed gangs of whites and mongs (Downs syndrome). The whites and mongs split.The w
hites head out of the jungle and savannnah to the coast.They survive by building
boats( maybe domesticating dogs as well for defence), and take to island hoppin
gout from the Canaries along a chain of volcanic islands to a big central oneyes folk
s were talking about good old Atlantis. There, a maritime civilisation develops.
So what has that to to do with Egypt and perhaps Babylon too? Well circa 10,000BC,
after a few warnings, marked by small waves of emigration of cro-magnons back t
o the mainland, Atlantis goes. Sea levels abruptly rise, then more gradually as
the ice age comes to an end. Cutting a long story short the survivors make their
way through N Africa and encounter favourable conditions in the Nile delta and
inland.and before you know where you are there are temples, roads,agriculture, do
mesticated farm animals, markets, armies and even medical services. It all seems
to happen very quickly. Too quickly to have evolved. Where are the failed exper
iments? Somebody knew what they were doing . They had an example already in thei
r heads.So I say the early pharoahs were descendants of white Atlanteans, cro-ma
gnons. The phenotypic appearance of RamesesII seems to back that up. Surrounding
semitic and negroid tribes supply the necessary slave labour. The pyramids of Giz
a, the ones we all know about, the best ones, are built early on.The rubbish one
s are attempts at imitation. The civilisation has its ups and downs and graduall
y declines as unrelenting miscegenation takes place. The knowledge, the real usefu
l hard stuff ie the size and shape and even the mass of the earth gets lost( exc
ept to a few)and the religion becomes ever more elaborate and contaminated with
mystic, airy -fairy, mumbo jumbo.which seems to hold our present day Egyptologists
in thrallI suspect because few have the appetite for the mathematics of geodesy,
astronomy and engineering. It is in those subjects that the real mysteries of Egyp
t lie. How were the massive stones cut and moved into position( or were they mou
lded, geopolymers?), for not only the pyramids but many other structures? We sti
ll dont know and cant replicate those feats of construction. When it come to mathe
matics its very interesting when our mathematicians look back at the creations of
the ancient world and the things they uncover..such as the origin of the inch, n
ot three barleycorns at all, but 1/250millionth of the earths polar radius, the s
implicity and ease of use of the 360 degree circle, the 24hr day with 60 mins to
the hour and 60 secs to the min. Take the royal Egyptian cubit.on average 20.625 . A
h yes, I hear you saythe length in inches from the elbow to the finger tip of the
average man. They must have made em big in old Egypt. Im 6 tall and I measured that
distance on myself and could only manage a measly 19. Now try this for fun. Take 3
60 deg and mutiply each degree by 3600( the no. of seconds in each degree(60 tim
es 60). You should get 1,296,000. Now divide by 2 pi to get r expressed in arc s
econds. I get 20624.8. Lets call it 20625. Shove in a point at 20 and call it 20.
625. That might be handy to have on the old memory stick.and so it proves to be th
e case in any museum fortunate enought to possess an ancient Egyptian measuring
rod. Of course theres a lot more to this than just a few coincidences. Dont take my
word for it. Instead look in more detail at the curious behaviour of no less a fig
ure than Isaac Newton, that rational hard-headed man of science but with a curio
us and intense interest in the occult. Just why did he send professor of mathemati
cs, John Greaves all the way to the great pyramid to get its measurements? This
is almost as freaky as Himmler and his legendary Ahnenerbe being despatched on a
sight -seeing tour of Tibet.Interestingly Newtons figures on gravitation all wor
ked out after Greaves visit to the pyramids. Now all those figures are of little im
portance to a land-based agrarian society, but they would be extremely important
to a maritime civilisation. What Im basically saying is that our history of civili
sation is deeply flawed. It did not start with Egypt and Sumer/Babylon, but with
a maritime island civilisation, the only remnants of which are visible today, a
re the Azores. Weve got to look at this again. Himmler liked the idea, so I suppo
se thats why we dont bother.

. rifleman45 December 14, 2013 at 4:28 AM so if blacks were egyptians,
how did they go from building pyramids to mud huts?
Dave Mowers December 14, 2013 at 5:14 AM Caint chu read man? Id waad alt a
at White Conspiracy to keep the black man down dammsor the other hypothesis presente
d was that all Caucasians are in fact Negroes who lost their skin color because
they live in cold climates. So why do black people exist in England then? Out of A
frica Theory is bogus intellectual gravitas bearing down the pain of many Egos ha
ving to admit they are really guessing. A guess predicated on skeletal remains w
hich deteriorate rapidly in open air or soil so another way of seeing it would b
e to say that the monkeys found at Sterkfontein are in truth; monkeys and not ve
ry old but lets ignore human accounts of history and just go with something we m
ade up.
Bill December 14, 2013 at 1:57 PM What?? Mud huts like that of Punt? How did
Ancient Greece and Rome become illiterate feudal states in the Dark Ages? Have
you seen Egypt in modern times? Empires rise and fall and so do the peoples of t
hem. When you mention the great white conspiracy, are you referring to the two and a
half centuries of enslavement, rape and murder or the hundred years of subjecti
on into a second class citizenry. Or maybe you mean the general denial of Africa
n American influence on American prestige, namely, the fact that Americas dominan
ce on the back end of the industrial revolution was tied to her invaluable advan
tages at the front end. The front end being the introduction of the cotton gin a
nd also one of the worlds first global industries. Large swaths of pristine terra
in obtained through genocide and thievery along with large numbers of West Afric
an agriculturalists obtained through human trafficking allowed America to head t
he Industrial Revolution, over a century before Edison Bell, or Ford, through th
e agro-industrial complex that was the American south. Some dont want to call it
what it is, though white conspiracy isnt how it should be defined. Still, destructi
on of the American Indian and the inhumane practice of colonial slavery are not
only what occurred, but also what gave America her distinct advantage in earlier
times, setting her on course for world domination. The other hypothesis, Out Of Afr
ica Theory, is about as widely held as Evolution Theory. You concur this intellec
tual gravitas, is only masking as credible science. Your contending theory is exe
mplified in questions as intellectually dull as Why do blacks exist in England th
an?.. Its painfully obvious whos masquerading as credible here. All that you posted
arrived at an absolutely refuted, outdated conclusion. The same old Coon like i
deologies that have been completely thrust aside by modern scholarship.
Mott December 14, 2013 at 10:49 PM Hey Mr. Bill- The countries of South and C
ntral America (and the Caribbean) all got the pristine land from the natives, an
d used African slave labor for their plantation economies. Yet, none of them led
the Industrial Revolution, as the U.S. did. Thats because the U.S. Industrial Re
volution had nothing to do with slavery, or wit taking land from the Indians. It
came from England and Northern Europe (neither of which had slavery or free land)
and it exploded in the Northeastern U.S., where there was no African slavery, a
nd it did not depend upon the seizure of native lands and resources. All the cotto
n gin did was put a whole lot of slaves out of work, making the Southerners even
richer, but to say that this money fueled the Industrial Revolution here is not
true. You are hallucinating, Mr. Bill. The closest thing Ive heard to what youre al
leging is the charge that the Industrial Revolution in Europe was funded at least
in part, by colonialism and slavery in the New World and in the European colonie
s. But that really doesnt explain why the Industrial Revolution happened in Engla
nd and in Northern Europe- when countries like Spain and Portugal had as many co
lonies, slaves, etc. The Industrial Revolution came from scientific advances and e
ducation, and the relatively free-enterprise atmosphere in England and Northern
Europe, in contrast to the Crown-controlled commerce of other countries like Spa
in, etc. Put a sock in it, Mr. Bill!
Mott December 15, 2013 at 2:02 PM Mr. Bill- i do retract my comment about th
e cotton gin- it was late at night! I was going from memory, that it basically did
the work that used to take 10 or more slaves to do (maybe even more?). You woul
d think that this would reduce the need for slaves! I didnt re-check this before
postingyou caught me! Yes, paradoxically, the reduced need for labor created by thi
s machine made slavery and cotton plantations way more profitable than before, a
nd so lead to the fast growth of the slavery/cotton/plantation industry, which b
efore had been too labor intensive So, its counter-intutive that a labor-saving mach
ine actually results in more slaves, for more plantations! Shows you how stupid
economics is. It would be like computers putting millions of people out of work, y
et somehow creating 5 times more jobs in the process for the computer industry (
this isnt happening, by the way!) Im glad you learned something, Bill, and Im glad yo
u find my ideas intriguing. You might be OK after all, Mr. Bill. You are very wron
g about the Industrial Revolution being fueled by slavery and conquest, however.
The factories and coal mines were manned with white men, women, and children. N
ot blacks, not slaves. The use of the word genocide when talking about the American
Indians is also inaccurate, with one exception: what happened in California duri
ng the Gold Rush (which was not executed or sanctioned by the U.S. govt .)
.
. Dave Mowers December 14, 2013 at 8:14 PM @AWoLsco Check out Graham Han
cock on YouTube. He has video showing a stone carving from the Old Dynasty perio
d at a ruined temple. On it is the entire story of Atlantis as told by Plato whi
ch was told to him by his grandfather; Solon. The same Solon who went to Egypt and
studied with the priests who told him, in Greek, which they spoke, that Egypt a
nd Greece were once part of the same kingdom and had the same founders. That would
be the Greek named Acmon a derivation of the Sumerian solar title for warrior-kin
g; Akha-Man. Known in his homeland of the Indus Valley as Sargon and called Nimr
od by the Hebrews, Assyrians and Greeks. Acmon is a grandson of Noah and his his
tory/mythology claims he consolidates all the foreign lands to his birth-home; S
outhern Mesopotamia. He was deified as a God under the name of Poseidon to Minoa
ns and Uranus to the Greeks. In India he was known as Varuna and Sharru Kin. Sargon
in ancient Sumerian means Scorpion-Man. The Akha bird was said to be the first bir
d of creation, the solar hawk or eagle. In the Zodiac, Scorpius was known as the
Eagle and the Scorpion. The most ancient name for the constellation is Sargas, a cl
ever amalgamation of Sar Akha and As, Asa forming three root words; Scorpion, Eagle, L
ord. The Egyptian Scorpion King. Nimrod is formed from two Proto-Germanic root words m
eaning conqueror. Literally translated as, Taker of Blood. See if you can find the lin
guistic correlates in black-African language.
Bill December 15, 2013 at 1:36 AM See if you can find a linguist that agrees
with you, the other guys post doesnt warrant a response. Mott, my post on the Ameri
can Industrial Revolution was admittedly more of a rant than I intended. The fac
ts are easy to see still. Surprisingly, some of your points actually intrigued m
e, particularly that bit about the cotton gin putting slaves out of work while g
rowing the trade. I realized, though Ive seen the numbers on how the cotton gin i
nfluenced the cotton industry as a whole, Ive never actually STUDIED how it influ
enced the slave population. It always seemed the most logical assumption that th
e number of slaves would rise with profits, but your view seems just as probable
with slaves being put out of work and plantation owners on winning big. I decided
to do a quick search to see if you caught me overreaching here, Mott. So I goog
led cotton gin, went to Wikipedia to see if they had something brief and ran acros
s this bit of text. Whats funny is Ive never read this before, but it somewhat agr
ees with the view I outlined earlier Actually.. It complete agrees!! This portion
is entitled Effects in the United States Prior to the introduction of the mechanical
cotton gin, cotton had required considerable labor to clean and separate the fi
bers from the seeds.[12] With Eli Whitneys introduction of teeth in his cotton gin
to comb out the cotton and separate the seeds, cotton became a tremendously prof
itable business, creating many fortunes in the Antebellum South. New Orleans, Mo
bile, Charleston and Galveston became major shipping ports, deriving substantial
economic benefit from cotton raised throughout the South. Additionally, the gre
atly expanded supply of cotton created strong demand for textile machinery and i
mproved machine designs that replaced wooden parts with metal. This led to the i
nvention of many machine tools in the early 19th century.[13] The invention of the
cotton gin caused massive growth in the production of cotton in the United Stat
es, concentrated mostly in the South. Cotton production expanded from 750,000 ba
les in 1830 to 2.85 million bales in 1850. As a result, the South became even mo
re dependent on plantations and slavery, with plantation agriculture becoming th
e largest sector of the Southern economy.[14] While it took a single slave about
ten hours to separate a single pound of fiber from the seeds, a team of two or
three slaves using a cotton gin could produce around fifty pounds of cotton in j
ust one day.[15] The number of slaves rose in concert with the increase in cotto
n production, increasing from around 700,000 in 1790 to around 3.2 million in 18
50.[16] By 1860, the Southern states were providing two-thirds of the worlds supp
ly of cotton, and up to 80% of the crucial British market.[17] The cotton gin th
us transformed cotton as a crop and the American South into the globes first agric
ultural powerhouse, and according to many historians was the start of the Indust
rial Revolution.[18] Thanks for leading me to something I hadnt read, doesnt refute m
e however. The cotton gin transformed the South and Americas slave trade. I said
there is a general denial of African Americans historical role in Americas presti
gious role in history through the silencing of the immeasurable value of labor p
laced into the agro-industrial complex that was the American South after the intro
duction of the cotton gin. This value can be defined as A jump start to Americas
industrial revolution and playing A role in producing the immensely productive 1
9th and 20th centuries in America. Before Big Oil, Big Steel, or Big Invention..
It was COTTON by over a century!!!
Mott December 15, 2013 at 2:11 PM Mr. Bill- The Industrial Revolution had bee
going on in England and Europe since the 1700s- no black slavery involved. It w
as coal, if anything, that fueled it. Yes, the cotton gin (an IR invention) increa
sed the prevalence of slavery, not the other way around, as you propose.
AWoLsco December 15, 2013 at 4:31 AM @ Dave Mowers. See if you can find the
guistic correlates in black-African language. I dont think Ill bother looking. Africa
and civilisation just dont mix, for I believe Africans worked, and still work, o
n the principle of producing offspring as fast as possible and if they survive t
hey survive. Whites by contrast. being derived from genetically inferior stock,
albinos with a high proportion of recessive genes, plus inhabiting higher latitu
des, had to adopt a different strategy as a consequence of a poorer breeding rat
e and delayed pubertynamely, considerable devotion of resources to prolonged protec
tion of fewer offspring and providing them with an education necessary to meet t
he greater demands of life in higher latitudes. Whites arent really comfortable in
the tropics. Had they stayed there, they would have been wiped out. Whites moved
out to go exploring, looking for secure places where they couldnt be attacked. B
oats and islands must have been attractive. It is strange that despite the prodi
gious material resources of the tropics that the production of sizeable boats by
the black races is so dismal, whereas the earliest white settlements are invari
ably coastal or riparian or both with substantial watercraft. Another idea I have
is that early whites, far from avoiding vulcanism actively sought it out. The so
ils are more fertile there, thus holding more game and berries but also would te
nd to yield interesting useful materials for both defence and saving of precious
labour and of course trade. As far as myths and gods go, I think there is too muc
h emphasis put on all this mumbo jumbo. That was largely for consumption by the
common people and still is. The ancients, or at least their leaders were a lot sma
rter than that. The hunt was on for security and comfort and understanding the w
orld around them. In this they succeeded over all other races..but they have weak
nesses..a poor breeding rate, almost insane levels of altruism and a dangerous af
fected xenophilia borne out of misplaced feelings of superiority. The dodo wasnt a
xenophobeand look what happened to that!
Dave Mowers December 22, 2013 at 12:01 AM The Akha was represented as a bir
falcon-type, hawk or eagle called in Egypt a mist-eagle and symbolized as a hawk-f
alcon-eagle atop a Kings head. Ancient man did not recognize a difference in spec
ies of birds of prey they way we do today. His symbol was the bird perched on to
p of a tall building as King or Pharaoh but as just the bird it was the Masonic
origin of the Compass and Square; double Vs intersecting one another similar to th
e Star of David in the Hebrew. It has a constellation named Aquila next to Scorp
ius who was known as Sargas and the Scorpion-Eagle! Sar, Sir Scorpion, Eagle. It is cogn
ate to the Yezidis celestial bird symbol which in Egyptian was Siri as the bird
of creation as it touched down on the sacred mountain to form all things; the Be
n-ben or Ben-Nu with Ben being the Gaelic word for Mountain and Nu the goddess of
water or the waters. This bird of the heavens meeting earth causes creation the
moment it does it forms the first Sun or sunrise which is the Phoenix or Phoibos,
Phaistos meeting Nix the Radiance meets Darkness forming the dawn causing the purple-
ue in the sky of purpura to be pierced as it does upon the rays of dawns sunlight
creating the crown against the purple aethers of Aethiopia which hardens on the
horizon into the golden-crown of day; Athena. The Ben-nu-bird is the Mountain rising
from the waters to meet the Sun as the Great Pyramid does each morning if you st
and west of it and behind it to watch the Sun rise above the uncapped building.
You can witness the act of creation as told in the myth every morning. Mar, Mer, Mu
r Egyptian, Sumerian, Celtic meaning West, Waters, Desert Sands and place of the dea
d in the west where the Sun goes to die each evening; Amarru! These are not Black-A
frican words.

. Paul Van December 14, 2013 at 9:26 PM I find Graham Hancock to be ve
ry entertaining, but I do not consider him or his theories as a quotable source,
I am not alone. From Wikipedia Hancocks most recent non-fiction book, Supernatural:
Meetings With the Ancient Teachers of Mankind, was published in the UK in Octobe
r 2005 and in the US in 2006. In it, Hancock examines paleolithic cave art in th
e light of David Lewis-Williams neuropsychological model, exploring its relation
to the development of the fully modern human mind. His first novel, Entangled: The
Eater of Souls, the first in a fantasy series, was published in the UK in April
2010 and in the US in October 2010. The novel makes use of Hancocks prior resear
ch interests and as he has noted, What was there to lose, I asked myself, when my
critics already described my factual books as fiction? Although his books have sol
d more than five million copies worldwide and have been translated into twenty-s
even languages, his methods and conclusions have found little support among acad
emics, his work being labelled pseudoarchaeology.[1][9][10]
Dave Mowers December 14, 2013 at 10:14 PM I totally agree. I only say to che
ck that video out because he films the wall so you can see the hieroglyphs yours
elf and it confirms Platos account of Solons tale. Im not saying I believe Atlantis
was real, or ancient aliens did whatever or even that secret, magical knowledge
existed. I personally agree with Max Mueller, George Cox, L.A. Waddell and Paul P
ezron in that through the names, language and etymology one can deduce the histo
ry to an extent. I find the fact that in Sumer we have both a King Gudea (Judah)
, Menes, Nimrod, Babylon, an area of the Indus Valley literally called Etin, Edin
fascinating though. Moses, Mises, Manu, Manuah, Noah, Manasyu, the worship of a
sacred tree, enlightenment through the minds eye, reincarnation, mummification ma
ssive stone-building, all intriguingly validating myths, making one question wha
t is fancy and what was real. It should be obvious a connection between ancient Eg
ypt, Sumer and the Indus Valley existed but how much of the tale is real; exciti
ng stuff.
fransika December 15, 2013 at 9:33 AM Hear the conclusion of the whole matte
r on race Genesis chapter 10 1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem
, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. 2 The sons of Ja
pheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras
. 3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 And the sons of Ja
van; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 By these were the isles of the
Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their familie
s, in their nations. 6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaa
n. 7 And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha
: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. 8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to b
e a mighty one in the earth. 9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore i
t is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. 10 And the beginning
of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shina
r. 11 Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehobo
th, and Calah, 12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. 13
And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, 14 And Pathrusim,
and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim. 15 And Canaan begat Si
don his firstborn, and Heth, 16 And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasi
te, 17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 18 And the Arvadite, and the
Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites s
pread abroad. 19 And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest t
o Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zebo
im, even unto Lasha. 20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after the
ir tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. 21 Unto Shem also, the fathe
r of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him wer
e children born. 22 The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud,
and Aram. 23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 24 And Ar
phaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber. 25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the
name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brothers n
ame was Joktan. 26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jer
ah, 27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 28 And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 29 And
Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan. 30 And their dwe
lling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east. 31 These are
the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, aft
er their nations. 32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their gener
ations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth aft
er the flood. Read the Holy Bible. Acts chapter 17: 24-32 22 Then Paul stood in the
midst of Mars hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye
are too superstitious. 23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found a
n altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly
worship, him declare I unto you. 24 God that made the world and all things therein
, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with
hands; 25 Neither is worshipped with mens hands, as though he needed any thing, see
ing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 And hath made of one blo
od all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determ
ined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 That they
should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though h
e be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our b
eing; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring
. 29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the
Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and mans device. 30
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every
where to repent: 31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge th
e world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath give
n assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. The Bible is y
our best source on race. Believe it or leave it; no man is a robot. man is male an
d female.
Dave Mowers December 15, 2013 at 4:34 PM On number 13; Mizraim begat Capht
hereas Mizraim came from Ham who everyone claims was a black-African negro and the
root of the ancient Egyptian hieroglyph K-M-T used to denote the land of Egypt
according to some interpreters who wish to use Bible passages as historical fact
along with Hebrew claims about translation of words. Two things to note here whic
h I have already presented in my posts; 1. Hebrew claims are based on no attestati
on. In fact, all ancient Greek depictions, except Herodotus, separate black Afri
cans from Egyptians. Hebrew claims are spurious as they contain no basis, simply
an assertion. 2. K-M-T hieroglyph does not infer nor contain the vowels used. Ass
uming the K to be the Kha sound as in Khamen, which is what the Hebrews do, changes
the meaning to the ASSUMPTION of a relational connection to Ham thereby validati
ng the Bible stories by placing a relative of Ham in Egypt through the naming of
the country. Except there is a fatal flaw in this. Egyptians used H in hieroglyph
s to denote the H sound. K-M-T is Ka, Ki, Ke Me, Met T, Id, Dis in Sumerian it mean
My Land with the T vowel emphasis used as an inclusion principle connecting that ar
ea of the world with the founding kingdom in Sumer as a whole of the one. This amazi
ngly fits Hindu, Egyptian AND Sumerian texts about the regions Kings. In science th
ey call that a clue. So if Ham begat Mizraim and Mizraim begat Caphtorim then, en.wi
kipedia.org/wiki/File:Name-Keftiu-at-Abydos-Ramses-Temple.jpg en.wikipedia.org/wik
i/Caphtor I guess someone needs to explain how blond-haired, blue-eyed, olive-skin
ned Caucasians descended from black Africans so we can attribute the Minoan civi
lization to Negroes as well.
kp50 December 18, 2013 at 7:38 PM You seemed to be hooked on the ancient Sum
erians, but I dont think you have an idea how they looked. You throw around names
like Narmer/Menes, Nimrod and Sargon. According to the Bible which I dont take l
iterally, Nimrod was the grandson of Ham and the son of Cush. It not a matter of
Ham being black it is that Noah could not have been white and fathered a black
child unless he or his wife was black. And if Ham was black so were his two brot
hers. Cush, Hams eldest son had the entire land south of Mizraim/Egypt named afte
r him this area was, Ethiopia(land of Cush) which is called sub-Saharan Africa.
Saharan Africa is basically a racial code word which has no basis for being call
ed what it is called. What we call the Sahara desert was green about 5200 years ag
o. Which means it wasnt always a desert. And when it did dry up, that is when anc
ient Egyptians moved Eastward and westward toward the Nile River. Without water
from the highlands of Ethiopia there would not have been and ancient Egypt. So C
ush/Ethiopia helped out his younger brother, Mizraim/Egypt. And as soon as Egypt
became a desert the Lower Nile would have dried up. But the water continued to
flow in from Ethiopia and flood Egypt. There is no such thing as the curse of Ha
m. The Bible said Cursed be Canaan; . Canaan, the patriarch of the Hyksos, who went
on to rule their cousins in Egypt in the 15th and Lesser 16th Dynasties. You sa
id something that was not true. The ancient Greeks didnt see themselves as relate
d to the Egyptians or Sumerians. The Greeks saw these two groups as barbarians,
not because they were, but that is how the Greeks saw foreigners. The Sumerians we
rent white, their patriarch was Nimrod who as I have said was the son of Cush. Cu
sh was the patriarch of the Ethiopians after the Great Flood. And when I Google or
Bing search images of Persian kings I dont see white men, I see brown-skinned be
arded men. The picture beside my post is a picture of a statue of Narmer,Menes.
So you cant get away with saying Narmer/Menes was whites as well as other Kings o
f ancient Egyptian Kings. I will give you five names of kings, look up their ima
ges. Here is the list: Huni, Sahure, Mentuhotep II, Amenhotep III. and Taharqa. I
would take issue with your saying You are the one ignoring facts by trying to cla
im that negroid features on a few statues means that ancient Egypt was black-Afr
ican. But you have said other ridiculous things before. In one of my previous pos
t I went through almost all Thirty or Thirty-one Dynasties and said that the anc
ient Egyptians Kings were black. How can you throw around a term like a few? Sargo
n wasnt around when Narmer was King. Sargon was around in the 22nd or 23rd Centur
y B,C. Narmer was king in about 3200 B.C. which is almost a millennia earlier. Y
ou said that Everything practiced in Egypt was first found in Sumer and the Indus
Valley. Does that include male circumcision, which would come as a big surprise
since circumcision started at least two millennia in Africa before it was practi
ced anywhere else in the world. When you said Even Narmer relates the battles with
black Africans from the south and his enslavement of them, Well the people he went
into battle with looked like him and it wasnt the only time that blacks went into
battle with other blacks and the losers became slaves.
Dave Mowers December 21, 2013 at 11:32 PM Narmer was the son of Menes, Menes
was the son of Sargon, Sargon was also called Nimmirud and lived around the tim
e of 2,700 B.C. There are multiple historical kings named Sargon. Male circumcisio
n was started under King Gudea of the Gutians in Lagash in Sumerian circa 2,300
B.C. On the Narmer Palette he is holding a defeated Nubian king down ready to smas
h his head with a mace. On his Naram Sin Stele he is climbing all the peoples of
the world conquering them on his path to sitting atop the world mountain above
which rises the Sun which at the North Pole is always sitting just above the Ear
th on the northern horizon inferring that he is climbing the kingdoms of the world
from the lowest, Mesopotamia-Africa-India to the highest Scandinavia. On the Vict
ory Stele of Naram-Sin he wears a Gothic horned crown, has a long pointed beard,
carries the Vajra mace-head of Indian Kings, the bow of Scythia and the writing
is Sumerian cuneiform script. He is Narmer. Biblical Cush is the younger brother of
Japheth who beget Gomer who beget Acmon who founded Greece and Egypt and was Cau
casian. Sargon can have two possible meanings in Sumerian, The Twisted Serpent or Sco
rpion Man he is the Scorpion King of Egypt and the founder of the first Egyptian
Dynasty. Menes, on his tomb at Abydos relates this information as he is Manis-Tu
su. The Persian dialect is near-German at its roots thought to have stemmed from t
he same source originally. Sargon had a palace at Mohenjo Daro in Pakistan, part
of India, part of Persia and within his empire including all of Mesopotamia and
Egypt and Greece and Spain. Nimrod is Nemen Rud and it is proto-German meaning Taker
f Blood. How many ancient Nigerian or Ethiopian kings had German names? How many ha
ve Sumerian names? Sargon is described in the Indian Epics as having been mummifie
d stating; The corpse of Nimi was preserved from decay by being embalmed with fra
grant oils and resins and it remained as entire as if it were immortal pg. 184 Th
e Makers of Civilization by L.A. Waddell

Km_%28hieroglyph%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ham_%28son_of_Noah%29 Since the 17th
century a number of suggestions have been made that relate the name Ham to a He
brew word for burnt, black or hot, to an Egyptian word for servant or the Egypti
an word Kmt for Egypt.A review of David Goldenbergs The Curse of Ham: Race and Sl
avery in Early Judaism, Christianity and Islam states that Goldenberg argues pers
uasively that the biblical name Ham bears no relationship at all to the notion o
f blackness and as of now is of unknown etymology. Herodotus claimed Ethiopia meant bu
rning or black. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Egyptian_Hypothesis Many scholars
(Aubin, Heeren, Davidson, Diop, Poe, Welsby, Celenko, Volney, Montet, Bernal, Ja
ckson, DuBois, Strabo), ancient and modern, routinely cite Herodotus in their wo
rks Another way of saying this is to relate that many scientists cite an author know
historically as the Father of Lies. From Wikipedia; Their own artistic conventions pa
inted them as pink, but pictures on their tombs show they often married queens s
hown as entirely black For Diop, Ham means heat, black, burned in Hebrew, an etymology
which became popular in the 18th century Yet it was in fact Bernal who first made
this association between modern Hebrew religious interpretation and ancient Gree
k including Biblical passages as proof of historical truth. From Wikipedia; Support
ers of the Black Egyptian hypothesis claim that the name Kemet, used by Egyptian
s to describe themselves or their land (depending on your point of view), meant B
lack.Ancient Egyptians referred to their homeland as Kmt (conventionally pronounc
ed as Kemet). According to Diop, the Egyptians referred to themselves as Black peo
ple or kmt, and km was the etymological root of other words, such as Kam or Ham,
which refer to Black people in Hebrew tradition. Diop, William Leo Hansberry, a
nd Aboubacry Moussa Lam have argued that kmt was derived from the skin color of
the Nile valley people, which Diop et al. claim was black. The claim that the An
cient Egyptians had black skin has become a cornerstone of Afrocentric historiog
raphy, BUT IT IS REJECTED BY MOST EGYPTOLOGISTS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebre
w_language Hebrew had ceased to be an everyday spoken language by around 200 CE, an
d survived into the medieval period only as the language of Jewish liturgy and r
abbinic literature. Hebrew, in the modern sense, is a revived language not the orig
inal language so that interpreting ancient Hebrew with modern is a flawed method
. Basing an entire theory (Black African Hypothesis) on one mans (Bernal) interpr
etation of Biblical Hebrew words and meanings is not science. It is wishful thin
king, hoping to tie an ancient culture to the Bible tales to make the Bible real
and a historical document that fits with the Father of Lies version of history. Now
I have, using real Sumerian, shown in my posts the origin of the word used by t
he inhabitants to describe their country Kemet. It is Sumerian and means simply,
My Land. The other word used in ancient times to describe Egypt was in fact, Egypt
which is based on another term we find in Sumer and the Indus Valley; Eye of Gop
ta. Gopta is a Sanskrit word meaning Protector so when used in conjunction with Ke
met would infer Protector of My Land and is represented with a circle-sun and eye
which further means; Ra, protector of my land. Pharaoh comes from Puru, Para, Per aa a
nd it is a name for kings in Hindu mythology. Land of Punt, which the Egyptians
said they came FROM BEFORE SETTLING IN AFRICA means in Sanskrit; Land of the Gods
who are seen in Hindu as protectors of man and protectors city states in Sumer wh
ere each city is named after a God. You can find a translator for Sumerian at Penn
States site.

rna from the Varna Culture. The word Varna is a derivation of the Hindu-Sanskrit Va
runa spoken with an Eastern European accentual change to the Breton vocalization
of Varuna with the R dropped to Vauna the Eastern European puts that R back in it whil
e the Scandinavian drops vowels in their accent to Van which is identical to the
Orphic Greek (which came from Phoenicia myth by the Egyptian priests) Phanes. You
know what that means right? Varuna was Breton-Aryan mythology which is Bharat B
arat Buru Bur Puru Para Per Aa or Pharaoh just like the Hindu mythology relateshm
mm? D. Modern science has proven that Caucasians held highly organized tribal colo
nies as far back as 20-30,000 B.C. in Europe. Proto-Indo-European language migra
tion route show that these 20-30,000 year old cultures were routinely invading lan
ds to the east and south and inhabiting these lands as far away as Siberia and C
hina; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarim_mummies In 2007 the Chinese government allow
ed a National Geographic Society team headed by Spencer Wells to examine the mum
mies DNA. Wells was able to extract un-degraded DNA from the internal tissues. Th
e scientists extracted enough material to suggest the Tarim Basin was continuall
y inhabited from 2000 BCE to 300 BCE and preliminary results indicate the people
, rather than having a single origin, originated from Europe, Mesopotamia, Indus
Valley and other regions yet to be determined and I can go on and on and on and on
and on and on smacking your face left to right and back again with endless detai
ls and proofs that Caucasians are not Black Africans and that white Caucasians c
reated civilization and everything that came with that, furthermore all of this
is proven science born out by historical, archaeological, genetic, mythology and
just plain common sense.
Paul Van December 17, 2013 at 8:26 AM Dave, your statement, Some other know
geological, archaeological, mythological and historical facts; points to what is
wrong with your argument, myths are not proven facts. However I am pleased to see
that you are acknowledging that whites stem from Albino Black Africans through
the OCA2 mutation. I do take exception to the term Caucasian, there is no science
behind this term it falls in to the realm of myth, Blumenbach essentially made i
t up. During the nineteenth century Europeans made up a lot of things, including t
he lies, Europe is a continent, the Egyptians were white, India owes its culture
to whites, this grabbing at the culture of others, appears to be an inferiority
complex on the part of some Europeans. Most if not all of what nineteenth centur
y Europeans thought on the so called races has been discredited. Scholars today
call it Scientific Racism, that term covers a lot of what you say on these pages

fransika December 17, 2013 at 10:20 AM The most lying history out there is E

s were black and set the foundation for modern civilization. Why are things bein
g hidden? I do believe that albinos suffered from some kind of inferiority because
of skin colour related to burning by he sun. But all people are one as it is writ
ten in Acts 17: 24-26 GodAnd hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell

t acknowledge that whites stem from Albino Black Africans through the OCA2 mutat

Caucasians. DNA tests of Egyptian mummies confirms ancient Egyptians were white
Caucasians. Their artwork confirms ancient Egyptians were white Caucasians. The

like modern Egyptians, and they certainly had some black African genes in their
makeup. A few statues and busts do look like Negroid, absolutely. But the vast m
ajority do not. Only a few late Pharaohs were Nubians. This has nothing to do with
Out of Africa. And answering one pseudo-science (Egyptians were Black) with more
questionable stuff (Egyptians were white) is not helping. Just because they were ind

may I ask, are you Black? Why? Because blacks LOVE substituting logic with emotio

played no part in the Black African colonizing of the world, Think of it, 60,000
years ago Africans crossed oceans to settle in Australia, that was about 60,000
years before the Europeans learned how to navigate the oceans and with great fa

nous Africans are the most genetically diverse people on the planet earth. There
is no one isolated and myopic phenotype that describes what is an African. And
all Homo sapiens DNA come out of Africa from Black Africans! When we talk about th
e reign of the Black Pharaohs from the Upper Nile, this is actually describing o
ne phenotype of African features and skin hue of one particular ethnic region wi
thin Ancient Egyptian Dynastic expanse, which was darker than most of the Africa
ns ruling Ancient Egypt in the previous and conquered dynasty. You still see thi
s broad array or difference in skin hue and features throughout Africa and so-ca
lled sub-Saharan African to this present day. The term brown is a more recent descri
ptive term, which actually meant, dark, the term for red as found in the Afro-Asiati
c language relative to the Sumerian term, meant dark red as akin to a brownish compl
exion as seen on the pictographs throughout Ancient Egyptian relics and temples. Bl
ack as a historical and social construct does not denote any particular shade of
brown skin or phenotype amongst indigenous African people, but references histor
ically and presently, a broad and diverse representation of indigenous African p
eople and their descendents, both in the continent and throughout the African Di
aspora.

Bill December 19, 2013 at 4:18 PM Your opinion versus.. During an excavation
aded by the German Institute for Archaeology, Cairo, at the tombs of the nobles
in Thebes-West, Upper Egypt, three types of tissues from different mummies were
sampled to compare 13 well known rehydration methods for mummified tissue with t
hree newly developed methods. .. Skin sections showed particularly good tissue p
reservation, although cellular outlines were never distinct. Although much of th
e epidermis had already separated from the dermis, the remaining epidermis often
was preserved well (Fig. 1). The basal epithelial cells were packed with melani
n as expected for specimens of Negroid origin. (A-M Mekota and M Vermehren. (2005) D

tochemistry 2005, Vol. 80, No. 1, Pages 7-13 During an excavation headed by the GE
RMAN Institute for Archaeology, it was found Ancient Egyptian nobles have skin pa
cked with melanin. I have seen some argue that the TYPE of melanin is not referre
d to and may not be the eumelanin responsible for the brown to seemingly black t
one of human skin. This isnt completely true as the researchers themselves say th
e findings were consistent with what would be expected of Negroid origin. You do
nt need the strongest deductive reasoning skills to see what type of melanin is b
eing discussed here. Color coding of DNA, denial of widespread OOA Theory, and i
ndirect, inaccurate linguistic evidence can not stand evenly with the above in t
erms of the ethnicity of AEs.
Dave Mowers December 20, 2013 at 7:28 PM You mean the site were they buried
workers right? Your talking about melanin content in slaves. If you are talking
about mummies perhaps you should read up on how mummy gets made because his body
is coated with oils to preserve the skin. Oils containing melanin. Genetic testin
g by bone marrow showed the Pharaohs to be Caucasians.
Bill December 20, 2013 at 9:06 PM Post it then, guy.. And no I dont mean the
burial site of slaves, did you read the text? Many Egyptologists dont believe the
workers were slaves but this MELANIN TEST was done by GERMAN researchers on New
Kingdom nobles and concluded with a phrase from Diops melanin test on Middle Kin
gdom AEs, didnt you recognize it?? The basal epithelial cells were packed with melanin
as expected for specimens of Negroid origin. THE FACT IS.. The German Institute fo
r Archaeology at Cairo AND Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop have both concluded the exact sa
me thing (the above) on the only known tests of melanin levels in the Ancient Eg
yptian. Im glad youve chosen to contend with something Ive offer instead of ranting
nonsensically. I say so, because if nothing else, the above should be highlight
ed. Cant run or hide from this one Davey.. The empirical evidence in plain view.
I havent quoted Diop this entire debate, but this is 2/2 in terms of finding extr
emely high levels of melanin, you know.. The progenitor of dark brown/black skin
.. In ancient Egyptian specimen. As I said, your casual departure from lingual r
eality is impressive yet futile. They were speakers of an Afrasian language, how
do you explain the fact only 12 of 19 Semitic languages are spoken outside of E
THIOPIA!!! Or the anthropology showing Bronze Age Near Easterners didnt look like
modern Europeans or Mediterranean people? This particular DATA you so weakly co

Bill December 21, 2013 at 9:18 AM This has already been discussed but lets g
a little more in depth. First, Tut lived over a millennia after the pyramid bui

the results were never published. Why? The studies referred to are all done by
people who have only seen a screen shot, not of Tut, but of of some unnamed spec
imen assumed to be Tut. This screenshot was taken from a Discovery Channel (aka
television) program. This is your evidence? Thirdly, R1b is Asian, not necessari
ly European. If any, Tut would have gained R1b from the same Asian migrants that
brought it into Europe. To add, the oldest underived R is found in Africa! Zahi
Hawass is a known liar. As a staunch critic of Afrocentrism, why would he not p
ublish the data if it was sound. Take a look at the info from Discovery Channel wh
en run.. Africa: Found 0 of 2528 matching haplotypes [f=0 (95% CI: 0 1.458 10-3)] in 0
of 25 populations. Oceania / Australia: Found 0 of 11 matching haplotypes [f=0 (95
% CI: 0 0.2849)] in 0 of 1 populations. Europe: Found 0 of 19818 matching haplotyp

ng haplotypes [f=0 (95% CI: 0 1.073 10-2)] in 0 of 8 populations. Asia: Found 0 of 196
35 matching haplotypes [f=0 (95% CI: 0 1.879 10-4)] in 0 of 100 populations. Latin Ame
rica: Found 2 of 8187 matching haplotypes [f=2.443 10-4 (95% CI: 2.959 10-5 8.822 10-
1 of 69 populations. North America: Found 1 of 4317 matching haplotypes [f=2.316 10-4
(95% CI: 5.865 10-6 1.29 10-3)] in 1 of 7 populations. Hawass didnt release the allel
s, making it impossible to run the set. The derived allele values (taken from a pa
per shown in the program, not said to be anyone in particular) from the DC progr
am produce the above. Absolutely no old world hits.. this isnt Tut, a relative, o
r anyone from the Eastern hemisphere for that matter. Thomas Krahn, an industry
professional, says the data is most likely the calibrating sample that comes wit
h the kit. When run, the specimen comes back with only 3 hits, 2 from Carribean,
1 from US This is most likely a recent western citizen used by the company that
made the kit. Hawass has made you ECs look silly yet again. Do you really think h
e wouldnt release the data if it supported the side he argues so passionately? Al

a foolish and desperate lot for sure..

kp50 December 20, 2013 at 9:00 AM History is the only thing that make the pr

smoke screen. And some whites will accept that the ancient Egyptians were dogs
or space aliens before they except the truth that they were black Africans. Speaki

Gordon Keith August 12, 2014 at 1:33 PM Hi Guys We all seem to have the same
desire to know who these clever people that lived in what is now Egypt and mayb
e each one of us has a little thats right and it would be interesting to sit dow
n together and debate peacefully about it , who knows maybe we can come up with
better results than all the so called experts who have given us the incorrect in
fo that we have been fed from schooldays, Shoot me down for saying this if it ma
kes you feel good. I still think these ancient beings that built the unexplainab
le not only in Egypt but all over the world were probably much more advanced tha
n today and also maybe a variety of races is it possible that they expired wheth
er by war or disease whatever and were the land masses at the time closer, _____
kp50 December 20, 2013 at 8:30 AM Stop using hair color as a racial designat
ion. Have you ever heard of hair dye or the affects of the mummification process
? You can take away history from modern Egyptians if their ancestors werent the a
ncient Egyptians, which they werent. Blacks are the most diverse racial group, so s
top putting blacks in a small narrow-minded box. Black Africans have the most la
nguages and dialects? It is the black Africans, which comes in many varieties fr
om skin tone to facial features.

Bill December 20, 2013 at 10:36 PM No you ridiculous buffoon, he meant what
he said. He described the roots of Egyptian culture and language as sub-Saharan.
Youre wrong about a few things.. The living peoples of the African continent are di
verse in facial characteristics, stature, skin color, hair form, genetics, and o
ther characteristics. No one set of characteristics is more African than another
. Variability is also found in sub-Saharan Africa, to which the word Africa is somet
imes erroneously restricted. There is a problem with definitions. Sometimes Afri
ca is defined using cultural factors, like language, that exclude developments t
hat clearly arose in Africa. For example, sometimes even the Horn of Africa (Som
alia, Ethiopia, Eritrea) is excluded because of geography and language and the f
act that some of its peoples have narrow noses and faces. However, the Horn is at
the same latitude as Nigeria, and its languages are African. The latitudeof 15 d
egree passes through Timbuktu, surely in sub-Saharan Africa, as well as Khartoum i
n Sudan; both are north of the Horn. Another false idea is that supra-Saharan an
d Saharan Africa were peopled after the emergence of Europeans or Near Easterners
by populations coming from outside Africa. Hence, the ancient Egyptians in some
writings have been de-Africanized. These ideas, which limit the definition of Af
rica and Africans, are rooted in racism and earlier, erroneous scientific approach
es. (S. Keita, The Diversity of Indigenous Africans, in Egypt in Africa, Theodore Cle
nko, Editor (1996), pp. 104-105. [10]) All leading scholars refute you loons. Mott
said something like just because theyre indigenous to Africa doesnt make them Afr
ican. (It does, along with the fact that their culture and language were indigen
ous African features also.) This nonsensical perspective forwarded by Mott, Mowe
rs, Cyrus, Yun and some other truly ridiculous folk here, cannot be backed by an
y credible research while I have posted quote after quote from leading scholars.
Mott December 20, 2013 at 3:04 PM OK, soK-50 centAfricans are very, very, d
rse, so The Ancient Egyptians were Black Africans who just happened to have very li
ght brown skin, light colored hair, and Caucasoid features, like we see in (almo
st all) the artwork. They also happened to build stuff that is seen nowhere else
in any other ancient African culture Thats some wild diversity! I just looked in th
e mirror- Im a very, very, very light-skinned Black! (especially from the waist dow
n!)
kp50 December 21, 2013 at 10:14 AM The ancient Egyptians where different sha
des of brown which is the case among blacks today. Hair color as Ive said ad naus
eam, is a geographical and recessed gene thing since a small percentage of human
s on earth are blondes without help from hair dye. There were no naturally blond
e ancient Egyptians. Name me five pieces of artwork from the dynastic period tha
t have Caucasian features. And if you find one of the statues of the same person
there should be more. The wall painting especially are of light-brown represent
ing most women, to very dark brown Egyptians. (almost all) is a very ridiculous st
atement because it is not true. There were more pyramids built in Nubia (Ancient S
udan) than there were built in Egypt. Of course they werent built on the same sca
le in ancient Nubia. And there were a number of Nubian sites that were buried un
der water when the Aswan Dam was built. And there were other sites destroyed for
whatever reason. For those who want to separate Egypt from Ethiopia(so-called s
ub-Saharan Africa) this is a translation: The Ethiopians(=Egyptians) do not use a
ny letters, but only different animals, their limbs and organs. Earlier priests
only taught their own children this allegorical or symbolic way of writing with
characters in an attempt to keep their knowledge about their own spiritual teach
ing a secret; a woman beating a drum means joy, a man grabbing his chin, looking d
own means sorrow, a tear-filled eye misfortune -Chairemon of Alexandria, 1st century
CE.
Dave Mowers December 20, 2013 at 7:23 PM However, the Sphinx is clearly blac
due to its extremely flat face and huge bulging lips. -Yun Bak Ho The Sphinx has b
een run through a computer modeling program and it has proven that the current s
tatue is out of mathematical balance; something no other Egyptian statue has. Wh
en you replace the modern head with an equally balanced lions head you get a perf
ect symmetry. The Sphinx has been recarved by a later Pharaoh.
Cyrus December 20, 2013 at 9:16 PM That actually makes very good sense.

w it sounds. Have u pseudo idealists never heard the term burden of proof. What co
mputer modeling program? Who did the test? What mathematical balance exactly and
where is the evidence every other Egyptian statue has been shown to have this s
pecific symmetry? Dont bs, back up just one of your erroneous claims.
Dave Mowers December 21, 2013 at 12:51 AM Robert Schoch, a professor of geol
ogy at Yale has confirmed that weathering on the quarry-pit sides around the Sph
inx is consistent with long-term rainfall. Egypts geology shows that it once rain
ed all the time and had jungle which extended past the site of the pyramids. The
weather changed sometime during 12,000 B.C. to 8,000 B.C. The pit is believed t
o have contained water and functioned as a moon pool reflecting the moon or sun
on the face of the Sphinx lighting it up from below. The Age of Leo was during thi
s same time period circa 11-9,000 B.C. The shape of the Sphinx, if it had a lions
head, is identical to the constellation of Leo. During the Age of Leo the const
ellation would have crossed the celestial equinox at the same point as the Sun h
ad during the day each evening and during the March Equinox the Sun would begin
its annual journey northward when Leo crossed each evening during the same three
months that Leo is prominent in the sky March-April-May. The Sphinx, as a the l
ion Leo, also faces the point on the horizon when during this same time of year
the Sun rises at dawn. In perfect alignment with the Suns daily rise marked by th
e Age and crossing the same point each day/night once a year for three months. It
marks the Sun and Leo in conjunction in three different ways. The lion was worsh
iped as a symbol for the Sun in Celtic, Greek, Phyrgian, Assyrian and Babylonian
cultures. You tell me.was the Sphinx a lion or a Pharaoh?
Pepperoncini December 21, 2013 at 2:09 AM Or the Ancient Egyptians did not n
ecessarily aim for symmetry for the Sphinxs head. In any case, even if it was car
ved over a previous head, the point is the head that everyone is faimiliar with
does look Negroid . We do not know what the alleged original head looked like.
Mott December 22, 2013 at 1:39 PM Hey, wassup, Cyrus? Actually, lions are Aff
rcan, so that means lions are black, so the Sphinx is black an thassa fact! Actuall
ythe head is way, way too small- its way out of proportion. Not asymmetrical. So, this
smallness would align with a theory of being re-carved at least once. But it do
esnt prove it. The fact is, no one knows who built it, or what it is supposed to
represent. None of the pharaohs that may have been models for it are known to ha
ve been Nubian. I dont think the face looks negroid. Most of it is gone, anyway. Af
fro-Setriss think anything with a broad nose and full lips is a negroid. Nah. The
problem with looking at the statues and busts is that some of them were probably
made much later, and so were not modeled from life. Some look more than a littl
e negroid (which doesnt prove much) and most of them look decide non-Negroid.

. Yun Bak Ho December 20, 2013 at 2:45 PM Blacks and whites are being
assholes about Egypt. It belongs to a people genetically and physically similar
to Arabs. Most modern geneticists in the mainstream say that modern Egyptians ar
e 85% genetically similar to ancient ones. Most modern historians sayvthat Moder
n guys come from ancient ones. The Egyptians are the same as always and ever bee
n . The do not belong to either blacks or whites. Only people that can claim it
are actual moderm Egyptianas and Arabics. End of story.
Dave Mowers December 20, 2013 at 7:34 PM Modern Egyptians are Copts and they
are Caucasian descendants.
Pepperoncini December 21, 2013 at 2:21 AM How can you claim they are Caucasi
an descendents? Copts today are a mixed people of essentially of pre Arab Islami
c stock. Their liturgical language is descended from Ancient Egypt. There were m
any invaders of AE, but it does not appear any of the invaders radically altered
the genepool of the land , like is the case with North America. If you are clai
ming Copts are Caucasian ,you are indirectly claiming the AE were Caucasian , yet th
eir racial origins are debatable. Also, use the term Caucasoid as opposed to Cauca
sian because the latter term is more accurately a term for the people of the Cau
casus and or those who speak a Caucasian Language.
kp50 December 20, 2013 at 7:49 PM The ancient Egyptians do belong to everyon
e, they where members of mankind. The problem is some believe that blacks should
nt embrace ancient Egypt in any way. People try to separate Arabs from black Africa
ns when we must understand that the Arabian peninsula is connect by land to to nor
th Africa and the Arabian peninsula connects like a puzzle to Egypt and it more
than likely was totally connected to Africa before an earthquake created the Red
Sea or the Sea of Reeds. When we talk about genetic makeup 85% similarity doesnt
mean much because nearly all human DNA is in the high ninety percentile. It is
that fraction of a percent that sets us apart. We will have to disagree about mode
rn Egyptians and Arabs coming from the ancient ones. We hear experts say that th
e ancient Egyptians were more closely related to the ancient Nubians. But this s
eems to escape many people. Saying that Arabs and modern Egyptians are the only
people who can claim ancient Egypt is very shortsighted. The Arabs conquered Egy
pt in the 7th century A.D., not the 20th century B.C. , Not in the 10th century
B.C., and not in the 1st century B.C. . By the time of the 7th century A.D., Egy
pt already had a nearly 4000 year(s) old civilization. When the criticism is levie
d out on whom is claiming ancient Egypt, it is not as though we live in a parall
el universe. Blacks have had white supremacy separate them from their history an
d separate them from their humanity.
Pepperoncini December 21, 2013 at 2:10 AM Egyptians for the most part are No
t Arabs. Arabs imposed their religion and language on the Egyptians. The majority
of Egyptian Y-DNA is not of Arabic origin.
scottmatheson58 August 24, 2014 at 12:50 PM I dont have any science or histo
y to back that up but your comment feels logical.In addition to your idea I think
Egypt in that time must have been thought of as the center of the world and as s
uch must have hosted a large mixture of people from all over the known world.It
strikes me that Nubians must have played an important role in the over all makeu
p and story of ancient Egypt given their proximity to everything.I think I read
somewhere that race was not an issue in those times and so-one supposes-it follo
ws that people would have ascended through the ranks of that society based on th
eir individual merits and abilities.

Dave Mowers December 21, 2013 at 12:54 AM According to Switzerland geneticis
s, British men and many Western European men are related to Egyptian Pharaoh Tut
ankhamun. Scientists working at Zurich-based DNA genealogy center, iGENEA, caref
ully reassembled the boy Pharaohs genetic profile. Scientific analysis demonstrat
ed that King Tut is biologically related to a genetic profile group, commonly re
ferred to as haplogroup R1b1a2. This haplogroup belongs to roughly half the men
living in Western Europe, confirming that many Western European men share a comm
on ancestry with ancient Egyptians living in the 18th dynasty. Finally, King Tut was
99.5 percent confirmed to be R1B1A2 along the paternal line. He may have had da
rk skin because many of Akhenatens grandparents took Iraqi Indo-European speaking
or black concubines daughters with them to marry. Academic Sources: Ancient Egypt; D

Pepperoncini December 21, 2013 at 3:15 AM The Swiss company did not have Tut
confirmed DNA information , so whatever they claim can not be accepted as proof
. Igenea is just a private Gene testing company, they are not an academic institut

stories simply link to Igenea, which as I have stated is without merit because
they do NOT have Tuts DNA ancestry information, no one does. I already linked you
to Dienekes , where he debunks the Igenea claim. Listen unless you can actually p

Yun Bak Ho December 21, 2013 at 9:10 AM Its interesting about the whole Ging
r/Red Hair supremacy. My white friends (most of them are hardcore closeted racist
s, but very intelligent) insist that Genghis Khan and other prominent Asians wer
e actually white people with red hair. Plus both Christopher Columbus and Leif E
rikson; the first two people to discover America had red hair. I am inclinedto b
elieve that there may be a connection between red hair and adventurous prrsonali
ty. I dated a red hsired girl before who was very wild and adventurous. She snow
boarded, skydived, took copious amounts of LSD and cannabis. She also fought at
a local womens MMA club and was pretty hotheaded. She was also a nymphomaniac and
wanted to fuck like three to four times a day, and threatened to break up with
me if I didnt constantly give her sex. Eventually, I got fed up with her psycho
shit and dumped her, but thid does raise an interesting point about gingers. Are
theysuperior in some type of way, or correlated with violence like Genghis Khan
? Also, what is it about whites and always trying to makevyou feel shitty? All m
y white friends cannot resist making fun of me for my race every opportunity the
y get. They also talk a lot of shit abourt black peoples and call them niggers b
ut act like non-racists in public. But behind closed doors they talk about nigger
s all the time. Why? I have always shown respect for whites and their great accom
plishments, and Itry my best to be nice to them, but sometimes it is hard with t
heir attitude towards me as a human being. I also dont understand their severe h
atred for blacks. They always act like non racists in public, but alone they wil
l say barbaric, terrible things about blacks, advocating violence and saying tha
t those negores were not on welfare when picking cotton, and one day they are goin
g to have hot sex with a nigger bitch and nut in her mouth and call her a nigger.
Why do whites hate black peoples so much csn some whites on this board tell me?
I am really curious. They also hate us Asians because we look like blacks due to
having flat faces and noses.
Mott December 21, 2013 at 3:04 PM Whites dont hate Asians (certainly not lik
they hate blacks), in general. And they dont lump them i with blacks- the two gr
oups couldnt be more different. Whites dislike black males, mainly, for their dan
gerous and violent behavior. And, black culture is seen as dumbed-down, anti-int
ellectual, anti-academic, anti-science, pro-sports and pro-stupid. I dont hate blac
ks per se, but I am appalled and terrified of ghetto black males. Is that racist
? Only some whites are hardcore racists. And theyre all on the internet! A lot of o
thers might talk shit, make jokes, but are not actually racists. And, probably h
alf of whites arent racist at all. Being afraid/leery of blacks, or disliking tra
shy culture, is not being racist. Whites dont have a monopoly on racism- study histor
y. In the U.S. a lot of blacks, Asians, and Latinos claim that only whites are r
acist here in the U.S. While some may be telling the truth, a lot of others disl
ike whites intensely and are actually racists, too.
Dave Mowers August 11, 2014 at 10:59 PM If you go back to the to Greek autho
rs, Polybius and Pausanias during Roman times you can find statements about the
nature of white Celtic culture. They are essentially degenerates. The culture is a
ll about social dominance, asserting yours over others and even two thousand year
s ago all they did was constantly fight and talk shit. One passage describes to Ro
mans how difficult it was going to be to negotiate with these barbarians as their
speech is filled with superlatives and inflections , metaphor and double-meaning
so much so as to basically nullify any possible profit in trade deals as the pe
ople prided themselves on being able to con you; to get over on you. I remember on
e instance where Polybius describes an average night in a Celtic town. They eat
at a hall or diner where everyone shows up. The women are whores being screwed l
eft and right by any man interested while the people are stoned drunk every nigh
t. If you dont act like them, get drunk, revel and party, youll be seen as an outs
ider and readily murdered if you are not careful. Each evening the strongest of
their males argue with each other and every night someone calls out, Challenge fo
r single combat or the phrase used by that particular Celtic tribe which means it
and this means that the two men must now fight to the death usually bare-handed
while people cheer them on and make wagers against it. He goes to ask the questio
n, why would you want to kill your strongest fighters this way by allowing such
activity? Celtic Kings paid their soldiers for each head they brought back from a
battle. Celtic Kings homes were easily identifiable as they encased the exteriors
with human skulls. You could be king anytime you wanted to by declaring a chall
enge for combat and winning but most of these Kings were where they were for a v
ery good reason. Just imagine a President who literally defends his office by be
ating other men to death with his fists and when a war comes; runs in front of t
he men to get his glory first? The Romans thought all of this was insanity. All I ca
n say is, if you beat a dog long enough it becomes vicious and the white race ha
s been acting vicious for a very long time. There is no race that has killed as
many humans and ultimately our religion calls for an Apocalypse that in prophecy
will annihilate everyone. High intelligence appears crazy because it verily is
psychotic. And yes, white women, especially Irish, Welsh and Australian are entire
ly nuts. Good luck with them. There are normal whites out there just avoid rural
areas and the south.

Paul Van December 21, 2013 at 11:13 AM King Tut Related to Half of European
Men? Maybe Not A personal genomics company in Switzerland says theyve reconstructed
a DNA profile of King Tutankhamen by watching the Discovery Channel, claiming t
he results suggest more than half of Western European men are related to the boy
king. But researchers who worked to decode Tuts genome in the first place say th
e claim is unscientific. Swiss genomics company iGENEA has launched a Tutankhamen DN
A project based on what they say are genetic markers that appeared on a computer
screen during a Discovery Channel special on the famous pharaohs genetic lineage
. Maybe they didnt know what they showed, but we got 16 markers from the Y chromosom
e from these pharaohs, Roman Scholz, the managing director of iGENEA, told LiveSc
ience. If the claims were true, it would put King Tut in a genetic profile group s
hared by more than half of Western European men. That would make those men relat
ives albeit distant ones of the pharaoh. But Carsten Pusch, a geneticist at German
ys University of Tubingen who was part of the team that unraveled Tuts DNA from sa
mples taken from his mummy and mummies of his family members, said that iGENEAs c
laims are simply impossible. Pusch and his colleagues published part of their resu
lts, though not the Y-chromosome DNA, in the Journal of the American Medical Ass
ociation (JAMA) in 2010. The Y chromosome is the sex chromosome found only in ma
les, and looking at the genes in this chromosome would show Tuts male lineage. Pusc
hs team used snippets of Y-chromosome DNA to link Tut to his closest relatives, i
dentifying his mom and dad. But they didnt publish the full genetic data that wou
ld allow genomics companies like iGENEA to link modern people to the Tutankhamen
lineage. According to Scholz, that crucial data is what appeared on the Discove
ry Channel. Dr. Albert Zink from the EURAC [European Academy of Bolzano, an indepen
dent research center] in Bolzano and co-author of the 2010 JAMA publication scre
ened the footage and confirmed that the company acts very unscientific, Pusch wro
te in an email to LiveScience. The Swiss company did not try to get into contact
with us prior to launching their new Internet page. The alleged Discovery Channel m
arkers put Tut in a genetic profile group, or haplogroup, that also includes mor
e than half of the men in Western Europe. Scholz said the company is now searchi
ng for the closest living relatives of Tutankhamen, men who share all 16 genetic
markers on the pharaohs supposed Y chromosome. Exact matches get a refund for th
eir $179 to $399 test and will also get free additional DNA analysis. The haplogro
up R1b1a2, which iGENEA claims includes King Tut, arose 9,500 years ago in the B
lack Sea region. How Tuts ancestors would have gotten from that region to Egypt i
s unknown, but Scholz said iGENEA hopes to learn more by collecting more close a
nd exact matches from modern people of Western European descent. The better the mat
ch, the more recent the common ancestor, Scholz said. But people hoping to prove th
at theyve got an ancestor in common with the notoriously sickly boy king should t
ake iGENEAs claims with a grain of salt, Pusch said: It appears that they try to b
etter sell their DNA testing kit by using the media attention connected to King
Tut. **** It is all about the Benjamins. Exact matches get a refund, how many refunds h
ave they given back? This is laughable.

. Dave Mowers December 21, 2013 at 4:59 PM Here is a site with a trans
lation posted online of the french (the language it was written in) from Diops st
udy. In it you will find that the poster here named Bill is intently leaving out n
oted irregularities found in all mummies specifically that the treatments applie
d to the bodies contain melanin and therefore may affect the outcome of test res
ults. Read it yourself, Bill does not understand science and chooses to see what
he wants to see including the fact that numerous other groups find this method
used to define ethnicity or race wholly incorrect missing key steps to achieve a
desired result. A result mind you, that confirms Diops own earlier flawed language
analysis that began with a mistranslation of ancient Hebrew and Egyptian. This
is classic confirmation bias. http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb
=print_topic;f=8;t=006995 Now read what Wikipedia has to say about this BLACK AFRI
CAN SCHOLAR who desperately wanted to prove Black African Egypt Hypothesis as hi
s lifes work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheikh_Anta_Diop#Research_in_Senegal Some cr
itics have argued that Diops melanin dosage test technique lacks sufficient evide
nce. They contend the test is inappropriate to apply to ancient Egyptian mummies
, due to the effects of embalming and deterioration over time In 1974, Diop was one
of about 20 participants in a UNESCO symposium in Cairo, where he presented his
theories to specialists in Egyptology. This symposium generated a lively debate
about, but no consensus on, Diops theories. His forceful assertions that the orig
inal population of the Nile Delta was black and that Egyptians remained black-sk
inned until Egypt lost its independence, was criticized by many participants. Diop
also wrote a chapter entitled Origin of the ancient Egyptians, in the UNESCO Gene
ral History of Africa. However, Diops contribution was subject to the editorial c
omment that The arguments put forward in this chapter have not been accepted by a
ll the experts interested in the problem Despite all evidence to the contrary Diop
continued his racist ideology even going as far as blaming A WIDE FLUNG CONSPIRA
CY OVER VAST AMOUNTS OF TIME BY WHITE PEOPLE TO HIJACK BLACK CULTURE AND STIFLE
DEBATE ABOUT THEIR EFFORTS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afrocentrism Scholars have cha
llenged the various assertions of Afrocentrists on the cultural and biological c
haracteristics of Ancient Egyptian civilization and its people. At a UNESCO Symp
osium in the 1970s, the vast majority of the delegates repudiated the Afrocentri
c assertions. Zahi Hawass has gone on record as saying that the Ancient Egyptian
s were not black and Ancient Egypt was not a Black African Civilization His wild as
sertions have now been combined with modern Negro-racism and Out of Africa HYPOT
HESIS (meaning it has not been proven and is contested as a theorem) to create a
false narrative which always ends with blacks claiming that since everyone in th
e past was once black all civilization can be credited to black people going as
far as to deny genetics and state that all Caucasians are in fact; black! They bas
e their ideas on cold climate causing skin tone discoloration over time except b
lack Africans live and have lived in North America and Europe for hundreds of ye
ars and they are still black colored? How can this be? Their skin is supposed to c
hange color and become white in cold weather? Why are black-colored people in En
gland and Ireland? The Moors invaded Europe thirteen hundred years ago but we st
ill have dark-skinned people? Why wont their assertions become reality.. Proverbs 12
:19; The truthful lip shall be established forever, But a lying tongue is but for
a moment.
Paul Van December 21, 2013 at 5:31 PM Dave, now that you have mounted a resp
onse to Diops melanin test, are you also saying that the German melanin test are w
rong and are there any other experts in Egyptology, such as yourself that agree
with you. Do you have any sources stating this cold climate, skin color connecti
on and attributing this to Afrocentrist.
.
. Bill December 21, 2013 at 6:00 PM Yun.. one aspect of white imperial
ism is the need to justify and propagate itself through the denial or shrinking
of black/brown achievement and potential while celebrating Europe as the end all
-be all in terms of civilization. The vestiges still exist today on the mind and
tongues of those who identify with white supremacy. This is shown in the rush o
f third party bio labs and ECs around the nets inexplicable use of an unnamed spec
imen as proof that Tut was European. I address this directly following the eutim
es link Mowers posted. It seems youre all terribly incorrect yet again. Even if a
ll checked out, which it doesnt, how did the original R1b carriers look? They def
initely werent pale skinned or cold adapted. Mowers, no ones fooled. Ive already addr
essed your claim that AE mummies show I2. These were Greco-Roman era mummies, on
ly one had this marker. As far as hair goes.. It has been explained time and time ag
ain, yet bias will not allow you to see. Hair of all shades is colored by both e
umelanin (yellow, brown, black) and pheomelanin (red). Pheomelanin is more stabl
e, over time the eumelanin oxidizes, leaving pheomelanin as the predominant feat
ure (red hair). Ramses was around 90 when he died, obviously gray-haired, still
you silly people say his red hair is proof of European descent and not what it i
s.. the postmortem oxidizing of eumelanin. How do you explain the number of red
haired Native American specimen? Oh, thats right.. They were red headed Aryans as
well. (Im not being serious here.) As far as texture..The nappy/straight hair of A
Es debate is rooted in eye ball anthropology. The process is tedious and unscien
tific. Not all indigenous Africans have nappy hair. Widespread cultural bias and g
eneral ignorance are responsible for such limited views. The scientific method t
o resolving this dispute is to actually measure the hair, as straight and curly
hair have discernibly different widths to their hair strands. This work has been
done and shows Egyptians to have indices consistent with curled hair, not as ti
ghtly as Bantu but they definitely DID NOT have straight, Nordic like hair. Thei
r hair indices, like their genetic profile, is most similar to their Sudanese ne
ighbors to the south!

. dubz December 21, 2013 at 9:12 PM What Im trying to figure out, is ho
w the phenotypical features of the Northern European Caucasian, who derived from
the darker people of the Southern hemisphere, i.e., Mother Africa can be consid
ered the standard, prototype, or premise on which to properly identify or analyz
e other more ancient and primordial people? I guess this is the ole what came first
, the chicken or the egg? For if this is not the epitome Eurocentrism, I dont know w
hat is! Its not that the Australoid, Dravidian, or in this case, the ancient Egypti
an has Caucasoid or Nordic features as been described, it should be that the whi
te European Caucasoid has retained certain phenotypical features that were first
manifested and derived from their Black and darker-skinned African ancestors! As
we know, straight hair, aquiline noses, so-called keen features, thin lips, and
even blue-eyes and blondish to reddish hair can be found amongst some of the old
est, darkest, and Blackest people in Africa and on the planet earth, as in the A
borigines and Melanesian of Australia and the South Pacific. It wasnt an so-called A
fro-centrist scholar, but countless astute and conservative white European schola
rs and researchers that developed and uphold the science that the Black Africans
were the first and original Homo sapiens i.e., the Out of Africa theory.

Dave Mowers December 22, 2013 at 12:06 AM To be fair I dont believe Jesus wa
white because I believe the Gnostics were correct in interpreting the stories a
s having been written by a single author using dialogue to act out the various a
postles roles opposite what, in his mind, would be the perfect human as a morali
ty guide for later generations to be inspired by. So Jesus didnt really exist. Etym
ology is the study of words and word structure along with origins of words. I wi
ll give you a lesson using Jesus. He is Celtic and Proto-Indo-European for Lord as a t
itular epithet. In Latin (Roman) He is Je which is identical to the word Ja and Jou f
ed as deity in Roman vernacular Jove. In Roman it also means Lord. As Jou-Pater Jupite
ans Father Lord or God. Jove in Roman-Latin is pronounced Ja-veh or Yahweh with a S
accent. Hesus or Esus was a Celtic deity who was a carpenter and shepherd and son of G
od who predates Jesus. Sus Sas Sakh Sagg Seus Zaz Zag Zak Zuz Zeus were th
ribes spelt their gods name. Essentially it is a carry Z or S as in long sound with a
vowel and ending in the same consonant. Sus is Zeus He or Je is Lord Jesus in Greek
rd Zeus Zeus is a dialectic variation of Dyaus, Deus, Dios, Dis meaning God. Translat
ed in modern English; Lord God This is all backed up by historic and scientific fact

dubz December 22, 2013 at 9:33 AM Dave, Dave, DaveI was being a little sarca
ticanywayIve been studying etymology, comparative religion, mythology, and archetyp
es way before the internet or Wikipedia was a twinkle in your fantasies. Etymology
is a very fascinating discipline, but in many ways, an inconclusive study. Thou
gh over time, there may be some consensus amongst scholars, however, a lot of th
ese ancient names, titles, and words are still wide-open for interpretation, and
then there is the deeper meaning of words that only have meaning to the culture
s that either presently speaks, or more importantly spoke the language at that t
ime, and over time, its not uncommon that even the indigenous speakers of a langu
age or either a familiar language to either lose or change the true meaning of a
word until it has no actual definitive meaning relative to its original idea or
description. Man, I have read some very interesting scholarly papers denoting int
erpretations of some of what you have written, all differing, yet worth noting a
nd further study. Most deities worshiped along with the canonical writings and div
ine liturgy of most religions predated the culture of the worshipers themselves
and were borrowed or continued over, which means even the names of these deities
, their meaning, along with language used in worship or ceremony was foreign to
the adopting culture of worshipers, with words being many times misinterpreted o
r mispronounced, or in some cases, disassociated with a dead language. For just ab
out every religion on earth had long oral traditions before being inscribed or t
ranscribed, with the mythology, liturgy, or rituals only being fully understood
and privy in their truest esoteric meaning to a select and privileged few of ade
pts and hierarchical initiates. Dave, if I had the time, I could dig out some old
books and blow your mind when it comes to the various interpretations of scholar
s over the ages pertaining to the meaning of the name Jesus and many other god-lik
e figures and terms. Most Europeans in general take too much too literary, or try
to overly objectify and abstract everything, this is not how the ancient world f
unctioned or communicated ideas.
Mott December 22, 2013 at 4:42 PM Santa Claus- Saint Nicolas- was from Turke
y but he was a Greek guy. So, yeah, hes basically a white guy. Christians have been
painting Jesus as a European-looking guy for 1.500 years. The Nordic Jesus look y
oure referring to always pictures him as English-looking, maybe even with blue ey
es, but never as a blue-eyed blonde Swedish-looking dude. Mid-Easterners painted J
esus as looking more Greek or Mid-Eastern, but in reality he was probably short,
dark eyed, black hair, and very Jewy-looking. Blacks in Africa depict him as bl
ack. So what? The question is not whether AE were Nordic Euros (they were not, I b
elieve) the question is whether they were black Africans or not. As someone poin
ted out, they were not Arabs either. What were they? They were Egyptians, you fuckin
g morons. Egyptians dont look like any other people on Earth. The modern ones are
mixed with Arabs, and theyve always had more than a little black African blood,
but that doesnt make them Black Africans. You, Dumbz, are taking one silly non-scie
ntific argument and saying that if its not true, then the AEs had to be blonde No
rdics. Bullshit- paper tiger.
dubz December 22, 2013 at 6:02 PM Hey Mut, youve been swiggin on the moonsh
-spiked eggnog a little early havent you buddy? the Egyptians in all actuality would
not even identified themselves by this elusive category of being, merely, an Eg
yptian, as defined by the ancient Greeks and further embraced by early European
adventurers and tomb raiders. Kemet was a very broad and diverse imperial state
with African rulership and roots. Yet for contextual reasons, we will call the peo
ple of Kem, Egyptians. Just as a side note: (its sort of interesting how backwards
Europeans wanted to allow the Biblical and mythologized people of Ham (Kem the A
ncient Egyptians) to be the progenitors of all Black Africans, until they realiz
ed how advanced these people actually were, then all of a sudden, they immediate
ly made them officially and honorarily white people overnightLOL!) any way. The Ancient
Greeks themselves reported these people as being no different or similar to the
Black Ethiopians (which translates into sun-burnt face). Now you know this Mut! Th
e science and visuals are overwhelmingly tellingThe Egyptians and their culture d
id not fall out of the sky and it had no signs of Indo-Europeanism. What you fin
d in ancient Egypt cultural roots we find the mythology deriving from the upper
Nile, deeper into Africa, and it was no doubt a culture that was related to the
African continent more than anything. Lets move on Turks and Greeks might have a lot i
n common with other Southern Europeans, however, this standard of whiteness was no
t always allotted to them, again, you are trying to umbrella dozens of uncommon
people with a racist sociocultural designator that was at one time exclusively a
llotted to a small minority of white Northern Europeans. Now to make an argument
stick, everyone who was once denied this white privilege now becomes honorary whit
es. There is no Greek ethnic purity, and Greeks historically like other people of e
mpire where defined more by language and customs than racial pseudo-sciences white
status. Saint Nichols the Turkish Greek saint picture doesnt depict an African (nev
er said he was), however, it surely doesnt depict a white man as the standard was f
irst derived. White people know he wasnt the preferred image of a white man so like Je
sus, they further mythologized him and made him look very Nordic! Also, there are
several depictions of Jesus of the catacombs of Rome is very non-white European
looking along with his mother, the Black Madonna worshiped throughout Europe. Ho
wever, this is all imaginative artist rendering of believers check the forensic a
rcheology of the Levant, and you will find African people White people thrive off o
f images and myths to keep their power and existence credible, as they downplay
and malign all other people outside of their contrived status as a people apart
from the rest humanity. This will backfire one day, so be careful for your sake,
yet, be even more careless for my own

kp50 December 22, 2013 at 9:28 PM The first known image of mother with child
(so-called Immaculate Conception) is Isis with Horus. That image was a black wo
man with a black child. The image of Mary with Jesus is a duplication of the abo
ve mentioned. There are images hidden in the Vatican in Rome of a black Mary wit
h Jesus who is black. And at one time this was widely excepted by a lot of peopl
e. Over the centuries the images have Changed. The past five hundred years are w
hen the present images became widely excepted. Ancient Egyptians did look like oth
er people and today there are a lot of people who look like ancient Egyptians. Im
sure not many will admit it, but Queen Tiye was a black women, whom, I call eve
ry black woman because her most famous image looks like a number of black women
who are alive today. One example is the bust of Queen Tiye and an early album co
ver of Diana Ross. The resemblance is amazing. There are images of Ahmose-Nefert
ari that also look like that album cover of Diana Ross. Their mug shots viewed fro
m the same angle looks almost like the same person, But the two are separated by
more than 3340 years. There is an image of President Obama beside an image of K
ing Akhenaten. I believe this was to make fun of Barack Obama because most image
s of Akhenaten are different to say the least. But, the two images of the two lo
ok similar. There is an image of a young King Amenhotep III, which resembles tha
t of the slain Oscar Grant. There are more, but the point is there are black con
temporary people who look like people whom they are separated from by millennia.
Whenever people say that the ancient Egyptians werent black or didnt see themselv
es as being black, I say,why didnt they? The images they left us with are the way
they saw themselves. So the way they saw themselves is not up for interpretatio
n. It is to be seen through the eye(s) of the beholder with art they left us.

yes, he does look a little like an Egyptian. I have a doctor whose race I cant f
igureI have guessed that she is either half-black and half-white, or Egyptian. Th
eres nothing else she could be. i have always thought that the Egyptian look is a cro

artwork and statues, but most of this is stupid- the Egyptians had dark skin, de
finitely. And all males were painted dark reddish brown. Some representations lo
ok more Negroid, but most look more Caucasoid. I wouldnt call them white or Euros,
though.

embled each other more than any of them resembled the Neanderthal version. But t
hen their computers began to spit out some strange results. Chunks of Neandertha
l DNA turned out to be more similar to the corresponding chunks of Europeans and
Asians than they were to African DNA. On the other hand, in no case did Africans an
d Neanderthals share similar versions of a gene, to the exclusion of other human
s. They had to reject a pure version of the out-of-Africa model. Since Africans do not c
arry Neanderthal DNA, it would appear Neanderthals bred only with the ancestors
of Europeans and Asians. When Krause sequenced a small sample, he could immediately
see it was not quite human and not quite Neanderthal. It belonged to SOME OTHER H
OMININ unknown to science. He would not be surprised if the genome of yet another anc
ient hominin comes to light in our DNA. .then the conspiracy grows deeper as civiliz
ation is once more attributed to White Europeans. The Minoans were Caucasian: DNA d

escendants of the first humans to reach there about 9,000 years ago. Our mitochondria

suggest the Minoan civilization arose 5,000 years ago in Crete from an ancestra

cle (as you did) or sourced a Black website, however, since science should be irre
futable and some white Eurocentrist here falsely believe that whites have an exclu
sive patent on disseminating information, I thought I would go right to the white
scientific source. The question is, who were the early Europeans to populate Crete
? What did they look like? .timeline evidence. And then we will go back even furth
er. Genetic study unravels ancient links between African and European populations Mar
ch 27, 2012 Large numbers of people moved between Africa and Europe during recen
t and well-documented time periods such as the Roman Empire, the Arab conquest,
and the slave trade, and genetic evidence of these migrations lives on in Europe
ans today. But were there more ancient migrations? In a study published online t
oday in Genome Research (www.genome.org), researchers present the first genetic
evidence for prehistoric gene flow between Africa and Europe, dating back as far
as 11,000 years ago. To trace the evolution and ancestry of humans, scientists st
udy the DNA sequence of the mitochondria, a specialized cellular structure that
produces energy for the cell and carries genetic information that is separate fr
om the rest of the genome that resides in the nucleus. While the nuclear genome
is a mix of genetic information from both mother and father, the mitochondrial D
NA (mtDNA) is passed directly from mother to child without any contribution of D
NA from the father. But not everyones mtDNA is exactly alike: over long periods o
f time, small changes in the mtDNA sequence have arisen in different populations
. Geneticists can use these changes as markers that indicate the movements and m
igrations of humans in the past, and classify them into specific haplogroups. In thi
s study, an international team of researchers performed the largest analysis of
complete mtDNA genomes belonging to haplogroup L (a lineage of sub-Saharan Afric
a origin) in Europe to date, aiming to untangle the history of genetic links bet
ween the two contents. By comparing the sequences of mtDNA genomes from various
regions of Europe with mitochondrial genomes from around the world, they made a
very surprising observation regarding when sub-Saharan lineages appeared in Euro
pe. It was very surprising to find that more than 35 percent of the sub-Saharan lin
eages in Europe arrived during a period that ranged from more than 11,000 years
ago to the Roman Empire times, said Dr. Antonio Salas of the University of Santia
go de Compostela and senior author of the study. The other 65% of European haplo
group L lineages arrived in more recent times. The authors explain that these cont
acts likely connected sub-Saharan Africa to Europe not only via North Africa, bu
t also directly by coastal routes. Salas said that it still remains unknown why
there was genetic flow between the Africa and Europe in prehistoric times, but o
ne possible scenario is that some bidirectional flow was promoted when the last
glaciation pushed some Europeans southward, until the glacier receded and popula
tions returned north. In addition to tracing the genetic links of Africa and Europ
e back to prehistoric times, Salas expects that their work will also help those
individuals who want to learn more about their own ancestry. There is a growing i
nterest in direct-to-consumer genetic testing, including those aimed to serve a
public interested in reconstructing their ancestry, Salas said. Studies like the o
ne presented here will help to unravel inferences made in these studies.Scientist

dubz December 22, 2013 at 10:57 AM Scientists reveal face of the first Europ
ean The face of the first European has been recreated from bone fragments by scien
tists. By Urmee Khan, Digital and Media Correspondent 8:22PM BST 04 May 2009 The head
was rebuilt in clay based on an incomplete skull and jawbone discovered in a cav
e in the south west of the Carpathian Mountains in Romania by potholers. Using rad
iocarbon analysis scientists say the man or woman, it is still not possible to d
etermine the sex, lived between 34,000 and 36,000 years ago. Europe was then occup
ied by both Neanderthal man, who had been in the region for thousands of years,
and anatomically-modern humans Homo sapiens. Modern humans first arrived in Europe
from Africa. The skull appears very like humans today, but it also displays more
archaic traits, such as very large molar teeth, which led some scientists to spe
culate the skull may belong to a hybrid between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals an
idea discounted by other experts. Erik Trinkaus, professor of anthropology at Was
hington University in Missouri, said the jaw was the oldest, directly-dated mode
rn human fossil. Taken together, the material is the first that securely document
s what modern humans looked like when they spread into Europe, he said. The model w
as created by Richard Neave, a forensic artist, for a BBC programme about the or

, and who was transversing the Mediterranean to Crete in 9,000 BC??? This is not

! As the youngsters say, my bad yet, its even better

. Yun Bak Ho December 22, 2013 at 3:51 PM Dave Mowers, I do notice you i
ncreasingly support Nordics as the founders of civilization. I am not a Nordic o
r even white myself, but what you did say in your above post about Koreans and J
apanese were populated by ancient Nords who built the dolmens got me thinking, b
ecause in Korea there are a lot of legends about tall gods who shining skin and
eyes who founded our civilization. And the truth is Korean nobility look vastly
different from Korean working class. A lot of nobility do have Aryan facial feat
ures, and body hair is found on a lot of noble bloodlines. Do you know where the
se sources you got them from? I would be interested in hearing about it, since i
t fascinates me. I am first generation Korean myself. Thanks
Pepperoncini December 22, 2013 at 7:05 PM Never seen Korean, the upper class
included that looked Aryan. Problem nowadays is that plastic surgery is soo popul
ar in Korea, one doesnt know what the original features of soo many Korean pop si
ngers, actresses and other celebs.
Dave Mowers December 22, 2013 at 7:54 PM Exactly right! Just Google Japanese
generals from WWII and tell me then if they do or do not look descended from Br
itish? The word Kurus is used in the Rig Vedas. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_King
dom There are two migrations of these Kurs that occur, sorry for the pun, one of the
m the people are said to have continued east and disappeared. Now the word Kur is
found in Turkey goes all the way back to Proto-Indo-European language (Kurgan Hy
pothesis) is used to name an area of Iraq Kurdistan which is the name the locals u
se for themselves Kurds is also a Sumerian word meaning mountain Kur but which has t
he same meaning in Hittite language. Is the foundation for the name of the godde
ss Kore who was Phyrgian a kingdom in Turkey adopted by the Greeks as Persephone o
r death personified as her followers were called, get this, the accursed of Kore. In
Sumeria, Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylon this symbol is three triangle pointing tow
ards the left laying on the horizon and means Mountain(s) almost like a map symbol
you would see denoting a geographic element. The symbol goes back to 3,500 B.C. I
believe that this symbol is more than just a symbol for mountain. I believe it
represents the three pyramids at Giza or what those pyramids are meant to repres
ent, as in the identical concept, which is the points-over-time that make up the p
ole stars! It is the source for the Vesica Pisces. The three pole stars are used
to form the Vesica inbetween them. You take each pole star and draw a line to the
center between them all so three lines then loop back to the starting point cre
ating an oval. Why an oval? Because the wobble appears to be one when drawn out
on paper. The Vesica Pisces is formed in the center as an attempt to find the tr
ue center between the three points; true North. Why understand points of stars? Be
cause early man was a hunter-gatherer and without a system of navigation, if he
goes too far out away from his familiar surroundings, he becomes lost and can on
ly guide himself by the Sun or star positions in time meaning he must study the
night-time sky and mark a time system to find his bearings or possibly die. Now th
is is weird but maybe it means something to you being from Korea. Calling someon
e cursed is unique to Mesopotamia, Hittite and Egyptian cultures. It has the meani
ng of being cursed by a god or series of events which are thought to be caused b
y a god(s) or the Egyptian and Jewish use of applying a person or peoples name t
o an object to swear out a curse upon them then smash and bury the object, usual
ly something of value that the God invoked will appreciate so much that he execu
tes upon you curse. In order for Kurs to have made it to Korea they would have to
have had a star system making their culture very old and sophisticated. In ancie
nt language the G and K sound was dialectic, an accentual variant being easily inter
changeable depending on accent and vocalization; Goryea, the founding name of yo
ur country is pronounced Korea by foreigners and modern Koreans. It is literally
in your name Kore Kur Kurus Goryeans The People of the Three Mountains. Are Thre
cred in your peoples history? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paektu_Mountain Koreans con
sider Mount Baekdu as the place of their ancestral origin and as a sacred mounta
in, one of the three spirited mountains (Jirisan, Hallasan and Baekdusan; san means
a mountain in Korean); the one contained in the legendary foundation of Korea. http
://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_mythology As the reign of the king expanded from th
e time when the country was divided by the Three Kingdoms of Kokuryo, Baekje, an
d Silla, Your moon goddess is a woman with a moon-circle on her head and body of a
fish or serpent? Just like Egyptian gods right? Just like Vishnu the Man on the Ser
pent or Dagon the half-fish, sea-serpent man of Sumeria, or Sobek-Ra the half-man,
half-crocodile god of Egypt. Medusa, Nagas, Typhon, Ophineus, Tiamat, Loki, Quet
zalcoatl, Viracocha who charmed the serpent all represented the same way as serpen
tine or tied to the serpent; Ouroboros. Your cultures mythology contains latent mem
ories of your Aryan roots. Your mythological system is based on the same systems
from Mesopotamia. Your name comes from there. Your nobility are them but that i
s not say you are not as well. As far as I am concerned it is your heritage, mea
ning that the mythologies of the Middle East owe as much credit to Koreans as th
ey do the present inhabitants.
Dave Mowers December 22, 2013 at 8:17 PM The Rig Vedas. Kur, Kurus, Kurgan K
ore, Goryea, from the Proto-Indo-European root word for mountain Kur which is also
found in Sumerian. Kore (Persephone) came from Turkey (Phrygia) is a goddess of
death in the underworld who guards treasures (stars, sun, moon, planets, shinin
g objects) cognate to the Hindu Kuberos both of which have two or three dogs Cer
berus, a three-headed dog that guards the gates to the underworld; the constella
tion of Orion with his two dogs which is the point in the heavens the ancient Eg
yptians claimed a gateway to the pure-light heaven was located. http://en.wikipedi
a.org/wiki/Kuru_Kingdom They are known in Greek mythology as the accursed of Kore
while in Hindu they leave their homeland because they are plagued by something o
r cursed. One wave continues east to an unknown location while a later migration
settles in India becoming the Kuru Kingdom. In Sumerian pictoglyph the Kur-Kur-K
ur is a three mountains symbol. Kore is Persephone or the personification of death so t
hat being named after her would be to apply a curse of death upon yourself. In M
esopotamian magic, myth, religion to allow someone to know your true name allows
them to curse you perhaps indicating that Kurgan was their true name? Modern-day
Kurds in Iraq are descended from these people and up to 100 years ago were almos
t entirely Caucasian in appearance. Here is where it gets interesting, hunter-gath
erers could not stray far from familiar surroundings or they would get lost havi
ng only the sun to guide them directionally. No guarantee due to terrain variabl
es and weather you ever get home. The ancient Sumerian symbol of the sacred thre
e mountains represents the same thing that the three pyramids at Giza do; three
pole star positions. Draw it out as three triangles, which are the origin of both
the Vesica Pisces and Triskele. The Swastika is sacred to Koreans yes? The Swast
ika is rooted in this concept but deals with another aspect of it. You draw a li
ne from each pole star, Thuban, Kochab, Polaris to the center between them each
and back around in a loop to the starting point and you get a relative true nort
h over time and a Vesica Pisces. The Sumerian Triple Kur or a way to navigate by the
stars to find your location anywhere on earth relative to their positions over
time on certain days.
Dave Mowers December 22, 2013 at 8:59 PM That symbol, the Vesica Pisces is
Third-Eye of Hindu gods is represents the true north over long periods of time; a
ges. This three-mountain symbol is sacred to Koreans as well; http://en.wikipedia.or
g/wiki/Paektu_Mountain#Korea Koreans consider Mount Baekdu as the place of their an
cestral origin and as a sacred mountain, one of the three spirited mountains (Jiri
san, Hallasan and Baekdusan; san means a mountain in Korean); the one contained in
the legendary foundation of Korea http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_mythology As th
e reign of the king expanded from the time when the country was divided by the T
hree Kingdoms of Kokuryo, Baekje, and Silla, Dan-Gun created the first Korean Kingdom

tying all mythologies together and for that I will paid.
Yun Bak Ho December 22, 2013 at 9:00 PM Interesting. I honestly dont mind if
whites are superior to Asians.after all, after tens of hundreds of thousands of
years evolving separately, one of us is bound to be a superior race and the othe
r one inferior. One of us had to have the short end of the turkey bone. But it i
s pretty interesting learning about ancient white influence in Asian civilizatio
n. But I dont think whites trying to claim Egypt is very productive. Black peopl
e do require encouragement to get them through their tough socioeconomic times,
and telling black schoolchildren Egyptians were dark skinned blacks with black f
acial features might inspire these kids to be engineers or doctors instead of dr
ug dealers. Afrocentrism may be a complete load of giant dogshit, but it can be
very beneficial to the direction in which black children are steered. So shouldnt
whites be supporting Afrocentrism instead, to make blacks less likely to commit
crimes or be on welfare? I think Afrocentrism is great for blacks, and while it
is schizophrenical bullshit, I do support it, I would rather have blacks be ave
rage citizens. I pay taxes too, you know.and having my money go to welfare and ot
her affirmative action programs can be a huge financial toll. In addition, helpi
ng blacks acheive is a very humane thing to do. So a glass of Afrocentrism anyon
e?
Dave Mowers December 22, 2013 at 9:22 PM I apologize for the redundancy in p

. dubz December 22, 2013 at 4:41 PM I love how the Eurocentrist here a
re trying their best to make the Sphinx a representation of a Caucasian on one h
and and then a bad alteration of a Lions head on the other.Everything but African,
which is obvious. As we can see above in the first illustration, the French surveyo
rs along with the testimonies of several other European scholars of the 18th and
19th century were also compelled to report that even to their already biased an
d xenophobic eyes, the Sphinx was without a shadow of a doubt, Negroid i.e., Black
African. Having a background in visual art and art history I find this argumnet c
oncerning the body to head disproportion wanting, for I notice that disproportio
ns and exaggerations are not only found in Egyptian art throughout the dynasties
, but also amongst the Etruscan and even the Greeks. Deification and exaltation th
rough art has always sacrificed exactness for meaning.and grandeur. even until t
his very day. Here is what one scholar says about Etruscan art: Thus the art of Etru
riaroughness of outline, the exaggeration in anatomy, the disproportion and incom
pleteness or rather unrefined completion of delicate details as in the terminati
ons of a figure, are other characters that it never quite shook off And the followin
g is early Greek: Name: Mantiklos Apollo Date: 700-688 BCE Period/Style: Orientalizing Ar
tist: Mantiklos Patron: Apollo Location: Thebes, Greece Material/Technique: Bronze sta
tuette, with a message carved into the thighs for the deity; votive offering, el
ongated neck with the pectoral and abdominal muscles that define and stylize the
triangular torso Function: Votive offering for the god Apollo Context: showed the i
ncreased interest of the Greek artists that reproduced the idea of detailing the
human anatomy. The inlaid eye sockets has something inside & the head a separat
e helmet Descriptive terms: unnatural, disproportionate, triangular torso Ideas: the
unnaturalness of the statue can represent the god having a specific part enhanc
ed because that was more significant

posted a link to who you view is an expert source that I am very well familiar w
ith, yet, by doing so, you have unknowingly backed yourself into a corner. His w
ork has been an eye-opener in especially re-dating the origins of the Sphinx and
the foundations of Ancient Egyptian civilization. Yet, here is where you must c
hoose Im going to post a paper written by Dr. Robert M Schoch as he cites facts rela
tive to his original involvement in analyzing the Sphinx antiquity. All of this
was presented in documentary some decades ago: THE GREAT SPHINX CONTROVERSY by Dr. R
obert M. Schoch 1995 [A modified version of this manuscript was published in the Fo
rtean Times (P.O. Box 2409, London NW5 4NP) No. 79, February March, 1995, pp. 34 39.] (
Excerpt) the Sphinx was older than the pyramids, modern Egyptologists have galvaniz
ed around the dogma that the Great Sphinx was built by Khafre, circa 2500 B.C. T
he basis for this attribution is purely circumstantial, the strongest piece of e
vidence being the reputed similarity between the face of the Sphinx and the face
of Khafre as seen on other statues. Yet forensic expert Frank Domingo of the Ne
w York Police Department has definitively proven that the face of the Sphinx and
the face seen on signed statues of Khafre are not of the same person (4); indee
d, the face of the Sphinx apparently does not pertain to the same race as the fa
ce seen on statues of Khafre (the Sphinx has a distinctive African, Nubian, or Negroid
spect which is lacking in the face of Khafre). AGAIN!! (the Sphinx has a distinctive
African, Nubian, or Negroid aspect which is lacking in the face of Khafre). http://w

Times Published: July 18, 1992 To the Editor: In The Case of the Missing Pharaoh, (Op-E
d June 27), John Anthony West shows that the Sphinx does not resemble the Old Ki
ngdom pharaoh Chephren, the traditional attribution. The analytical techniques he
and Detective Frank Domingo used on facial photographs are not unlike methods or
thodontists and surgeons use to study facial disfigurements. From the right late
ral tracing of the statues worn profile a pattern of bimaxillary prognathism is c
learly detectable. This is an anatomical condition of forward development in bot
h jaws, more frequently found in people of African ancestry than in those from A
sian or Indo-European stock. The carving of Chephren in the Cairo Museum has the
facial proportions expected of a proto-European. Thus, the Sphinx is likely a fac
ial representation of a black African. Considering that the peopling of ancient
Egypt derived from an ancestral mixture of Africans and Mediterraneans, facial s
oft-tissue analysis of this fabled man-lion would support a much earlier origin
for the Sphinx, when Africans may have dominated the region. SHELDON PECK Newton

Dave Mowers December 22, 2013 at 9:12 PM The face on the Sphinx has been rec

pears as since it is not the original head of the statue. Again for the obviously
dim-witted; The Face on the Sphinx was Not There When The Sphinx was Constructed
it is a Recarved Face from the Original Lions Head. The race or ethnicity of the r
ecarved face in no way proves that Egypt was founded by blacks. That is like say

Mott December 22, 2013 at 9:12 PM Of course, ol Dumbz is right again- the an
ient Egyptians, Etruscans and Greeks used to all hang out together at Med coffee
shops and trade art techniques, so, if one ancient culture did something , so d
id the rest. All three cultures used their frequent flyer miles to travel not only
around the Mediterranean, but across space and time. They would also Google-search
on the ancient internet for design ideas using ancient stone I-Pads. Actually, onl

physics at Yale, has personally conducted a number of extensive geologic surveys
of the Sphinx and its enclosure. To the consternation of Egyptologists, Schoch
claims there is evidence of heavy precipitation over prolonged periods of time o
n the Sphinx. The problem, as Schoch maintains, is that the Giza plateau has not
been subject to these kinds of rains since pre-Dynastic times The Sphinx is older
that Egyptian civilization. It is from the Age of Leo circa 10,000 B.C. http://www
.examiner.com/article/was-the-sphinx-once-a-lion It so happens that a number of ver
y early kings of Egypt left inscribed labels at the sacred city of Abydos in Egy
pt. Leonard shows pictures of small segments from three of these, one from King
Aha-Menes, one from King Narmer, and one from King Djet. These are all earlier t
han pharaoh Khephren by quite a bit, a fact that the author considers very signi
ficant. He wants his readers to focus on one particular symbol among the hierogl
yphs on each of these labels, a glyph which he describes as a large lion half-bur
ied, with only paws and a large head visible. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetec
h/article-1092827/The-Great-Sphinx-Giza-reborn-lion-desert.html Historical architec
t Dr Jonathan Foyle, who worked with Mr Reader on the project, said the head and
body were massively out of proportion. He said the reason for this could be tha
t the Sphinx originally had an entirely different head that of a lion. According
to this theory, the statue was later re-carved to be modeled on Khufu.
dubz December 23, 2013 at 7:55 AM Dave, Whatever the Sphinx was before, will
lways be a hypothesis and a unsubstantiated postulation, being the fact that you
cant definitively prove this without conclusive pictorial evidence or ancient do
cumentation extrapolating an actual existence of a Lion-head Sphinx existing bef
ore what we see now.. The water undulation that eroded the Sphinx is evident, so i
n that case alone, I believe Dr. Schoch premise as it relates to the age of this
monument based on what has happened to Sphinxs zoomorphic torso. Zoomorphism, depi
cting Egyptian deities (Neteru) with the bodies of animals and human heads, or h
umans bodies with animal heads is as old as the first dynasty and is represented
in Predynastic Egyptian art, though I will admit that the latter was represente
d more and was the norm. But lets stick to the bottom line, the Great Sphinx as see
n and only ever known by those who have described it, it is the face of a Black
African! This fact was reinforced by the same expert youre constantly referencing,
Dr. Robert M. Schoch, who cited the findings of forensic expert Frank Domingo fo
llowed up by another testimony and expert opinion of, Dr. Sheldon Peck, whose ye
t to be refuted professional opinion was highlighted in the New York Times. What p
art of this do you not understand?
Mott December 23, 2013 at 12:34 AM Well, if Im that retarded, then I MUST BE
BLACK, Dumbz. Which means Im just like you! Unlessyoure really whiteand youre trolling
tending to be a pseudo-intellectual black Afro centrist in order to embarrass th
e entire black race But then, I, as a de-pigmented Black person, should agree with
KP-Dooty that Jesus and Mary were blackBut then I would be betraying my Jewish ro
ots (my [big] dick is one-third Jewish). Tell me again about the Minoans, or the 3
5,000 yr old guy, Dumbz- I need a laugh! And to answer your question, our educatio
nal system is not the reason blacks and spanics do poorly. They are just not real
smart- its their culture, also. You make a real good pseudo-intellectual, Dumbz.
Go with it! Have a White Christmas! Hope you freeze to death! Smiley Face!
Mott December 23, 2013 at 12:15 PM Dumbz has quoted an orthodontist and a gu
y who used to work for the NYPD as an artist. That settles it! The experts have
spoken! Dumbz doesnt realize that these sources of his say that Khafre wasnt black, so
that would mean the pharaohs that built the pyramids werent black, shooting his
own theory in the head. I agree that it is very interesting that the Sphinxs tiny h
ead appears to look more than slightly Negroid. Since no one knows, when, why, o
r who carved it, or it has been re-carved, apparently we wont know whos (if anyones
) face its supposed to be, or why, etc. Lets assume we just take it as fact the the fa
ce is Negroid. What does that prove? Sure, it could mean it is the face of real
African person, a king, etc. Thats just one possibility. If the Sphinx is much ol
der than the Dynastic culture, then its even weirder. Were there black kings befo
re the Dynastic era? Good question! No one knows. Would that mean that the Dynas
tic Egyptians were Africans? No. BTW, Dumbz- were you gloating over the Atlanta Bl
ack Star link I posted? Ridiculous photos of rotten, black-colored mummies? That
is just one of the 10 slides, some are much less absurd, but the ones showing t
he male/female dark/light convention next to two modern Africans is also a hoot! D
umbz- answer me this: Why do blacks love unscientific thinking so much?
dubz December 23, 2013 at 1:19 PM To Mutt the miscreant mutant The observati
of the source that Dave unwittingly directed us to by way of a scholar that he
seemingly respects, Dr. Robert M. Schoch made scientifically sound observations
pertaining to the cephalic index and a bimaxillary prognathism thats attributed a
lmost solely to Black African people, or using the lesser pseudo-scientific term
, Negroids. If you cant handle the science, well, just say so Mutt Hey buddy, it was Dr
Robert M. Schoch who included the terms, African, Nubian, or Negroid in his paper refe
rencing the face of the Great Sphinx, not me! These are your people white man presen
ting these facts I can make my case just using your own researchers, since you seem
to believe that white is always right And let me help you with this, what they are
saying is that the depiction of Khafra in Egyptian art and sculptures does not h
ave the strong prognathism amongst other traits that are depicted when you obser
ve the Sphinx However, Khafra features can be found amongst millions of indigenou
s East Africans to this very day! This shows how little you know or understand, be
the fact that many Africans have unique features that are exclusive to Black Af
ricans, there is no one set of so-called negroid features on the continent! This one
trick pony race classification pseudo-science you embrace is passe and unscientif
ic, for Black sub-Saharan Africans are the most genetically diverse people on th
e planet earth, and every feature and phenotype along with a multitude of hair t
extures were expressed in Black Africa first and foremost and still exist! White f
olks got their features on the tail end of African genetic devolution, however. t
he whole recessive transparent colorless skin thingwelloh wellmy mythats a whole diff
erent ball of waxhehehe Science has spoken, there is nothing unique about being whit
ethere just are not enough genetic discrepancies to make you a different race or spe
cies. sorry Mutt However, if you really want to be a mutant race or alien being, as
in something less that Homo sapiens, than have at it. If white folks would stop b
eing in denial or pillaging every place they go (like Egypt), they may finally l
earn how to relax and enjoy being humans Theres enough for us all, Mutt
Bay Area Guy December 23, 2013 at 1:10 PM @ Mott Ive always found it fascina
g how afrocentrists try to claim Egypt, or even certain European Mediterranean c
ivilizations as African. Its as if theyre saying that theyre so ashamed of their ow
n (predominantly West African) heritage that they must desperately claim other c
ivilizations as black. There are actually a good number of legitimately black civili
zations that dubz could take pride in. Ethiopia, which was a prosperous kingdom
and one of the oldest Christian lands in the world, even more so than most of Eu
ropean Christendom, until it was rendered impoverished by its conflict with the
Arab Muslims. Or how about Nubia, which managed to resist the wave of Arab Musli
m conquest during its height, and whose wealthiest elites even had running water
in their homes? Or what about Mali and Songhai? Whats ironic about these afrocentr
ists is that by constantly trying to claim Egypt as black, and by then going on
to claim that civilizations such as Greece owe their success to Egypt, theyre rei
nforcing Eurocentric beliefs. (since white people admire Greece and ancient Egypt,
its like theyre trying to say, look white people, these civilizations you like wer
e actually black. That makes us black people cool!)
dubz December 23, 2013 at 1:46 PM Bay Area Guy, there is no need to claim,
that is an Eurocentric approach to research, science, and discovery. And thats t
he problem, whereas, Europeans went around the world trying to claim rights to eve
rythingthis is world history 101! And to make these claims stick, in the long run, Eu
ropeans had to develop a justification. Basically, The victor writes history All tha
t you say that we should be already proud of had to be reattributed back to Afri
can people after decades of overturning European imperial revisionism. A lot of th
e young white men here dont remember the textbooks of years ago, where no one on
earth had a viable history but white Europeans, and all great archelogical finds w
ere to be interpeted by the same racist as to uphold the supremcy of white Europ
ean racial pride, culture, and conquest. Almost every initial discovery made to rewr
ite this history and expose the presence of African people thoughout world and t
heir contributions were presented first by white scholars, a vast number of Blac
k scholars studied and enhanced what was already surmised (not to say that there
were many who did not do their own research or went to the sources themselves).

. Darryl December 22, 2013 at 9:25 PM I honestly dont mind if whites ar
e superior to AsiansYun are the most pitiful of everyone hereand FYI if you do a li
ttle research you will see that there are more whites on welfare than blacks als
o before you call my race violent you should consider the socioeconomic status t
hey are placed in. I am pretty sure you would be much more hostile person if you
could not support yourself you may even be more likely to commit a crime. and a
ffirmative action has helped white woman more than any black person. Also i feel
you almost try to put your self in the same box as whites. another FYI they don
t like you either. Try telling them the originals ninjas were asian watch them t
ell you they are white. Also Bill has been owning you mfers. and Bill consider yo
ur sources the smart people know the truth. Arguing with these racists is almost
pointless ive been watching you go back and forth constantly destroying everyth
ing they say but they continue to refute you. No matter what facs or hardcore ev
idence you show they dont care they are in disbelief My final question for Dave, it
s a hypothetical. What if they are black? do you hate us so much that you absolu
tely refuse to come from blacks? Like whats the big deal? is it my skin? i reall
y am curious.
Yun Bak Ho December 22, 2013 at 9:44 PM Darryl you idiot.I was trying to say
my suggestion would HELP blacks. Not trying to demean them, but I even said that
we should use Afrocentrism to combat the lack of guidance in black students. No
w how is that pitiful.? I am not racist. Racism is legally defined as the discri
mination of people based on race, by denying them opportunities. The thing is, I
own a fairly decent buisness, which I built up, from the ground up, since I was
selling video game hacks and mods at the age of 17. Within a year or so, I had
enough fairing well, and not welfare, that I used my college fund to increase it
, and now I am fairly wealthy, even though I was dirt broke, I came straight fro
m the working class of Korea. I have hired more blacks than any other race, and
I pay them well, so I am not racist at all. I havent discriminated against them
at all. What sets me apart from ghetto blacks (and NOT the hard working assimila
ted blacks, who are very good folks), is that I didnt sit around making excuses
or blaming my situation on the evil crackas institutionalized racism. I am not pi
tiful, it is the folks who make excuses, stay on welfare, and go around claiming
Egypt was 100% black that is pitiful. And I do not hate blacks, I try my best t
o socioeconomically advance them, something dem evil whitey crackas wont do no m
ore, because they are out on tax money and their mulatto grandchild is on welfar
e. So dont go calling me racist or pitiful, I was merely giving introspection, n
ot racism. I have done a lot more for blacks than any white liberal who lives in
a all white neighborhood and hires suburban white kids but always moans about h
ow superior blacks are. I havent once used the n word in a non sardonical or sar
castical sense. Its dumb fucks like you who are keeping the black man down by en
couraging them to bitch and whine about racism and how magic black pharoahs buil
t the Colesseum and traveled to the moon on an acid trip. Its the sellout, Uncle
Tom blacks that really teach blacks to get their shit together. You are not helpi
ng blacks one bit dumbass. Help them by making them work hard ansd strive for su
ccess, not by teaching them God has a flat nose.
Darryl December 22, 2013 at 10:09 PM not to proud to admit my mistakes howev
er.i am hardworking,in college right now (winter break) i wouldnt define my self
as assimilated but i do believe in everyone doing there part (not bitching and w
hining) also your silly if you dont believe there is a system in place against m
y people you may not be endorsing it but it is out there(me saying that dont tak
e that as i think its ok to sit around and accept it no. but it exist and i do t
hink it needs to be acknowledged). also i would define myself as somewhere in be
tween the uncle toms and acid trip blacks i dont believe in the word afrocentrism, a
nd im not claiming that egyptians were 100% black i believe from my point of vie
w it is fact. and i dont believe any race is superior to others i had a problem
with that statement that you made forgive my emotional response. Also that last
part wasnt for you it was for Dave in regards to the them being having a problem
with being black.
Yun Bak Ho December 22, 2013 at 10:20 PM Thanks. I do agree that there is a
system, but the only way to break it is through raw hard work. The Jews had a sy
stem against them, but in a few decades they completely flipped the tables on th
e world. Why? Because they are the most hardworking folks in the world. Their p
arents are strict as all hell too. Jews are stuill the most hated. But they have
demonstrated that the system can be broken. So I do believe in a few generation
s, blacks will have dramatically improved given more role models like Obama and
less stressful events such as the injuries Rodney King sustained or Trayvon Mart
ins death. These stressors cause blacks to lose motivation. But knowing that one
of their own kind is a president will get black kids thinking about being a pre
sident themselves. We need more Obamas for the blacks and less sociopolitical cat
astrophies. This is thwe road to change. Change is slow, but certain. Although t
he Jews did it faster than anyone could have.but Jews throw their whole body whol
ehearted ly into it. Those guys are crazy.
Dave Mowers December 23, 2013 at 12:12 AM I dont have a problem with you bei
g black or black people. I am simply responding to Roberts blog post by asserting
different facts, some known, some I am literally deducing right here in public
along with other posters to try and ascertain the correct answer to; What Race Were
the Ancient Egyptians? Now since I began I have been insulted, attacked, berated,
lauded as a charlatan, belittled but not once has anyone provided any conclusiv
e evidence that ancient Egyptians were in fact black. What they have done is reh
ash all the debunked Black-African-Egypt-Hypothesis arguments which are based on t
hree things at their root; 1. Egypt is in Africa and due to proximity to Central A
fricans ancient Egyptian culture must have been black. 2. Some statues and images
contain Negroid-type features. 3. The interpretation of the word used by ancient E
gyptians, from their own hieroglyphs, Kemet. None of these arguments address the m
ythology or histories of Hittites, Sumerians, Indians, Assyrians, Canaanites, Mino
ans, Greeks showing or describing something wholly different. They do not addres
s the fact that Egyptian hieroglyphs are based on Sumerian pictoglyphs and their
words hold identical meanings to translated ancient Egyptian text in Sumerian l
anguage. Mummies, statues, artwork, texts, steles from both inside Egypt and out
side cultures depicting Egyptians show them as red or olive-skinned Caucasians.
That the Minoan empire was part of Egypt or vice versa and Minoans were white pe
ople. That the Turan, Isin, Sumerian, Egyptian and Hindu Kings lists all match an
d the accompanying mythology explains who the ancient Egyptians were and where t
hey came from. Dna evidence proves the Egyptian dynasties were Caucasian. The myth
ology claims the same. The history claims the same. The artifacts backed this up
. Ancient Egyptians married black women from the southern kingdom to unite the c
rown ending internal strife because they had enemies from outside and cannot fig
ht their own people in their own kingdom while fighting off foreign invasions. The
founder of Egypt was Menes (Hindu- Manasyu, Sumerian- Manis Tusu) but the mytho
logical founder was Misor known as Mizraim. Misor is Phoenician, a people who at
one time claimed all of the islands and shore lines surrounding the Mediterrane
an. Sumerian Masar, Musur, Misar, Misor closely correlates to Great Water or Great Bo
dy of Water or Great Sea and or Sea which in the form of Mizraim adds an additional e
lement meaning land around or enveloping, encircling as the lands surrounding th
e Mediterranean; the ancient Phoenician Kingdom. My etymology is correct. My phi
lology is correct. My translations are correct. You can search these subjects on
Wikipedia for evidence to a point, the rest of which you can get from reading b
ooks about the subject matter. I am correct. Egyptians, like Phoenicians, trace th
eir ancestry not to Africa but a land of the gods in the east; the land of Punt. S
aying that Khafre looks black means that Egypt was a Black-African culture is ak
in to saying that because Martin Luther King has a memorial in Washington D.C. l
ater generations of Americans must assume that the Founding Fathers were Black-A
fricans.
Congi January 12, 2015 at 10:34 AM Even though Im Asian. I have far more res
ect for Black people than Asian people. People like Koreans and other Asians are a
degraded and humiliated race in hollywood. But Black people have far more pride
, they dont take bullshit from fake white historians, scientists.
.
. Darryl December 22, 2013 at 9:27 PM another thing..Black is the super
ior race we are all homo sapienyour part neanderthal lol..
Yun Bak Ho December 22, 2013 at 9:51 PM Actually Darryl, Neanderthals are ju
st a subspecies of homo sapiens. They were 99.5-99.9% genetically identical to u
s. And OI am assuming you are a black American, you have a hell of white ancestr
y dude. You got some subhuman Neanderthal in your veins too, dude. Average black
American is 30% Euro by genes, although more recent studies place that at 17-25
%. Either way, you got some subhuman white blood in you too. You are inferior as
well.
Darryl December 22, 2013 at 10:10 PM wrong i can dunk and dance i obviously
have no neanderthalFACT
Mott December 22, 2013 at 10:36 PM which is apparently the intelligent part
Z YUKYUKYUKYUKYUK!!!!! Seriously, it is pointless arguing w/racists. Like you, and
K-Fitty-Cent. And Dumbz. Is it your skin? No, its whats under your scalp- not a lot
of gray matter there. For the record- I do not disbelieve the Out Of Africa theor
y. I believe that the earliest humans had darker skin, and were not very Euro-lo
oking. Blonde and Red hair have only been around for 9,000 years, and maybe whit
e skin isnt much older than that. However, modern Negroids havent been around for th
at long, either. So, trying to label a 35,000 yr. old human with a modern race t
ag is silly. Also, because all of the three big modern races- Negroid, Caucasoid
, and Mongoloid, evolved recently, it kind of renders the we all came from blacks
thing silly. We all came from ancient African humans, not from modern Negroid Af
ricans. I also do not believe that Egyptians were blonde Nordics, nor was that kik
e Joshua or Jesse or whatever his name was.
Dave Mowers December 23, 2013 at 3:50 AM Black African Hypothesis claims tha
t skull deformation proves ancient Egyptians were blacks has been thoroughly dis
proven and shown to be an Aryan practice; http://japanesemythology.wordpress.com/e
ast-asian-native-american-hun-and-scythian-practices-artificial-deformation-of-t
he-skull/ The earliest recorded evidence of artificial cranial modification dates t
o 45,000 BC in Neanderthal skulls from the Shanidar Cave in Iraq Hippocrates tells u
s that the practice among the Scythians was for the purpose of giving a certain
aristocratic distinction. http://io9.com/french-archaeologists-discover-beautifully
-preserved-de-1458835300 It resulted in the discovery of a whopping number of artif
acts and human and animal remains from Neolithic, Gallic, Gallo-Roman, and Merov
ingian societies. Thats over 6,000 years worth of stuff. http://anthro.palomar.edu/h
omo2/mod_homo_2.htm It is likely that at least some Neanderthals had pale skin colo
r and red hair. This is based on the discovery of a variant of the MC1R gene ass
ociated with these traits in the bones of two European Neanderthals dated to aro
und 50,000 years ago. At the back of their skulls, they had a prominent bulge or pro
jection called an occipital bun Svante Paabo of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutio
nary Anthropology in Germany concluded that the Neanderthal and modern human gen
omes share 99.5-99.9% of their base unit sequences. He estimated that the Neande
rthal line began to diverge from ours by about 800,000 years ago I wonder what other
event occurred approximately 800,000 years ago that could account for minimal e
vidence supporting Out-Of-Asia-Hypothesis as an origin for modern humans? sniffsniffI s
mell a clue again then the genetic difference between us and them must not have been
as great as would be expected between two distinct species. In other words, this
would suggest that the Neanderthals were a distant variety of Homo Sapiens rath
er than a distinct species.
Yun Bak Ho December 23, 2013 at 2:45 PM The thing is.history doesnt matter.
ust because you know that Egyptians were ancestors doesnt amount to shit. The fi
rst Egyptians didnt have any Egyptians of their own for history, so how did they
become Egyptians.hmmmm? Just because you dont believe you are capable of lifting
a teacup does not render one incapable of lifting a teacup. Everyone can do so,
whether you believe it or not. Arguing over history is pointless. The original f
ounders of civilization had no history attesting to their capabilities. If knowi
ng your ancestors were civilized is an essential to building a civilization of y
our own, how did the first civilizations start?
Paul Van December 23, 2013 at 8:05 PM Dave, I know what you are smelling, it
is BS you are covered with it. Out of Asia lets see. **** New Genetics Evidence Proves
African Origin of Modern Chinese Modern humans, or Homo sapiens, might migrate fr
om Africa into China by way of Southeast Asia between 18,000 years and 60,000 ye
ars ago, researchers say. This latest research finding by Chinese scientists and t
heir international colleagues concluded that modern humans might have moved from
Africa to China replacing Mono erectus (archaic upright- walking human beings)
there to become the ancestors of the country s modern humans. The conclusion is bas
ed on the comparison and analysis of Y- chromosome DNA using samples of the exta
nt 88 populations living in East Asia, Southeast Asia and the Oceania, says Li J
in, one of the Chinese researchers of the study Chinese Human Genome Diversity Pr
oject. Li Jin is a professor of both the National Human Genome Center in Shanghai a
nd the Institute of Genetics of Fudan University. Scientists found that the variat
ions of Y-chromosome in north China are derived from those in south China, a res
ult proved as that a small number of settlers of African origin moved to norther
n China due to the hurdle of the mighty Yangtze River. And Polynesians, who live
in the islands in the Pacific Ocean, are found to have different Y-chromosome t
o Taiwanese, forcing scientists to reconsider the hypothsis that Polynesians wer
e descendants of ancestral Taiwanese aborigines. As a whole, nearly all Y-chromoso
me variations in East Asia and the Oceania could be found among those in Southea
st Asia, adds Li Jin. So, the findings also indicate that modern humans migrated f
rom Africa to Southeast Asia nearly 60,000 years ago. http://english.peopledaily.c

ry turn you try and take brings you back to Africa, I am still waiting for the D
NA from outer space gambit.
Pkr December 23, 2013 at 9:15 PM Sometimes I wonder if people actually read
entire post instead of taking bits and pieces and attacking those. When I say th
at a younger image of Diana Ross look like an image of Queen Tiye it was not mea
nt to be scientific it was only an observation. Diana Ross could have some white
ancestors in her history, that is not my point . But, she isnt a mulatto. I dont
think that you saw the Wiz, which Diana Ross played Dorothy and Michael Jackson pl
ayed the Scarecrow. She had a short afro and she didnt look a bit mulatto. I thin
k you are confusing here with her daughter who I believe has a white father. Preside
nt Obama is a light-skinned black male, but there is little in his features that
say mulatto. What is not widely known is there is a study that said President Oba
ma mom had an African forebear. His name was John Punch and he had a child with
a white woman. Details of this can be found by entering Obamas Mother Had African
Forebear, Study Suggest-NY Times.com, or Ancestry.com. You said Some look more N
egroid, but most look more Caucasoid, this is a remark that needs to be qualified
. I have no less than seven books on ancient Egyptian Art and History. And the i
mages arent mostly of Caucasians. Only in the late period, after the dynastic sys
tem that the ancient Egyptians rulers can be seen as being white. I know for som
e I could have a thousand books on ancient Egyptian Art and History and swear on
a hundred Bibles concerning the images I saw. But, some will dismiss it as noth
ing.

. Yun Bak Ho December 22, 2013 at 9:56 PM Who the fuck cares about thi

ites how to please a woman. Asians can cook wonton soup, and Mexicans can climb
the highest of fences. Ill teach you how to use chopsticks, you camn teach me ho
w to use my penis in bed. Whites can give us their latest inventions, and in ret
urn we can brighten up their day with karate teams and basketball teams. And His
panics can guard our borders, since they know all the tricks in the book.
Darryl December 22, 2013 at 10:19 PM the reason i care and like when we expo

meThat human evolved into modern black humans however many thousands of years ag

were getting shit done
Darryl December 22, 2013 at 10:20 PM watch the movie Hidden Colors..everyone

Mott December 23, 2013 at 5:33 PM Because the Ancient Egyptians have been se
en by modern societies to be the earliest great civilization that reached incred
ible heights of achievement, and that lead to monotheism, Greece, Romeand to Weste
rn Civilization. Egyptology became huge during the Enlightenment (1700s) and Europe
an elites (and others around the world) have always looked on Ancient Egypt with
amazement- wondering how they were able to do what they did. Early Eurocentric ex
plorers and scientists wanted to claim them for Caucasoids, Whites, Euros, and d
raw a straight line from them to Greece, Rome, and modern Euros. Nutty Black AfroC
entrists have recently arisen to proclaim that Egyptians were Black Africans, th
us proving that Blacks are not just not inferior, but are superior, to all other
races. Afrocentrists also claim that Blacks invented everything and everyone el
se has degenerated from the original great Black Race. AryanCentrists have count
ered with Egyptians were Aryan. Everyone wants to claim the Ancient Egyptians as them
, just like SinoCentrists, Hindutvas, and all insane nationalists want to claim t
hey invented everything and therefore they are the greatest race, bla, bla. Thats w
hat this is about.
Mott December 27, 2013 at 6:25 PM Mr. Bills errors are so numeroussimply p
ipated in what the Spanish, Portuguese, Arabs, and yes Africans were already doi
ng. (All people sold people who looked like them into slavery). No- only the Afric
ans were selling people who looked like them into slavery. Is Mr. Bill is referrin
g to Greek/Roman times, 1,500 years previously? Even then, Mr. Bill, they didnt e
nslave their own kind- as in ethnicity. However, you could have argued that trib
es enslaved other tribes (which is true) but you didnt. Tsk tsk. Im also really su
rprised Mr. Bill doesnt spout the usual line about African-African slavery and Ar
ab-African slavery being not so bad here. Bad form, Prof. Bill. Prof. Bill has an As
soshit of affro-Sentriss Siense degree (A.S.S.) so who is to argue? Oh, and Mr. Bi
ll thinks Im a young-Earth creationist. No, not religious at all. I leave unscienti
fic bullshit to others. Mr. Bill thinks that blacks got their own civil rights on t
heir own. Oh yeah, Angela Davis was real popular and influential with whites, as
you say Bill. Bill, even MLK was never popular with whites while alive, and he w
as losing popularity among blacks when he was killed. His being killed probably
did more for civil rights than if he had lived. I happen to think MLK was a grea
t man, but then every white racist says that, Mr. Bill, right? Im stating to think
Mr. Bill, Dumbz. K-50 cent, and the rest are all the same insane BlackFroCentris
t individual. Or maybe they just all think alike.
Bill December 31, 2013 at 10:19 AM I said all people sold people who looked
like themselves into slavery which is true. Yes I was referring to older times f
or whites but human traffickers dont discriminate even to this day. Are you serio
usly suggesting that modern syndicates operating in Europe dont abduct white wome
n, only other races? Blue-eyed women are the most prized in the modern sex slave
market. Go read, Mott Your silly rambling is becoming mowers-esque.. Blacks didnt t
ake MLK seriously?? Look up his I Have A Dream speech, the spectacle that was ML
K, the greatest AA orator of all time was always held in highest regard. Im not t
he one who thinks blacks are mostly responsible for their own rights, the Harvar
d scholars who have studied the period say this. Im starting to think you cant rea
d Mott. And yes, your inability to accept facts is as heightened as a young eart
h creationist Id say.
Mott December 31, 2013 at 12:27 PM Mr. Bull- You managed to imply that Spanis
and Portuguese were enslaving their own people at the same time they were ensla
ving blacks- now you correct yourself and say you were talking about slavery in
antiquity. Now you say that whites enslave each other routinely nowadays and you b
ring up sex slavery involving blue-eyed blonde women, something you clearly know
a lot about. All of this white slavery youre referring to comes from sex trafficking
in Russia and Eastern Europe. The numbers are bad, but this is only a fraction
of worldwide human traffiking. Most of it comes from China, India, Africa, and S
outh America. No whites involved. For the record, I dont consider Russians or Eas
tern European Slavs to be white except in skin color. They are clearly deficient,
plus, they are impoverished- not a good combo. What does this have to do with blac
k slavery? You missed my point entirely- that U.S. kids are not taught that blacks
sold the whites all of the slaves- they were not hunted down by slavers in the
jungles as shown in Roots. Why? Because it ruins the story line- and implies tha
t the guilt is somewhat mutual. Instead, it helps to demonize Euros, so run with
it! In European antiquity was not of any particular race or ethnicity- anyone cou
ld enslave anyone else, pretty much, as long as they were foreigners. So, it was
nt a race enslaving others of the same race systematically. If one of the same ra
ce was enslaved it was more like indentured servitude, and any slave could work
for or earn his/her freedom. It was not nearly as bad (for the slave)as the Euro
/African slavery that came later, that is true. So, let me get this straight- you
are defending the blacks who sold the slaves to the whites- saying whites did it
too, centuries previously? Or, youre saying that everyone does it still? Whatever. Y
ou say that I said blacks didnt take MLK seriously. Thats not what I said, DUMMY. I
said he was losing popularity with blacks and whites when he was shot because of
his anti-war and pro-Marxist views. If you read what I wrote (you can read, Bil
l-Boy?) I said I think MLK was a great man, DUMMY. Go tend to your blonde, blue-ey
ed sex slave Mr. Bill!
Bill January 1, 2014 at 9:34 AM 1. I see youre confused again. What I said w
s that the English participated in what the Spanish, Portuguese, Arabs and Afric
ans were already doing Enslaving West Africans. I mentioned that all people have
enslaved people looking like them (in terms of modern racial categories) as a si
de note. 2. As you said, your opinion of Russians and Slavs doesnt change their ski
n color. 3.What does this (modern slavery) have to do with black slavery?? Its SLAV
ERY, you imbecile!!! Have you forgotten the point already? Im not defending black
s by saying whites did it too as you say, but telling the facts as they seem to
evade you. People have taken and forced others to do things against their will t
hroughout time, including those who look like them. During both the Dark Ages an
d Roman times, whites took others whites systematically. Mostly through conquest
not trade, but once slaves are taken they are often sold amongst owners. Just b
ecause gladiators were forced to fight and not work, doesnt make it anything less
than enslavement. Still, there are those who make it their business to kidnap and
sell humans for profit, women especially, throughout the world to this day. It
is a quite lucrative practice. Maybe some of these disgusting bastards are as no
ble as you say up there in Europe, (I only sell black bitches) but Im guessing shar
ed phenotype isnt as much a deciding factor as MONEY when you sell women for a li
ving but thats just me. This is just an example, do you understand now? 4. MLK was a
great man indeed. Saying he was losing popularity to the extent that the advanc
es of the Civil Rights Movement were in peril is to me, a suggestion that blacks
didnt take he or the movement seriously. Look at the grandeur of his famous spee
ch, that moment, and see he embodied the Civil Rights Movement in life and death
. No one as outspoken as he, Malcolm X, or Huey Newton go without a list of detr
actors and others (black and white) just didnt agree. These men were killed becau
se of their prominence, not because they were fading, becoming non factors, or o
therwise not being taken seriously such as yourself. 5. My point was that I agreed
, West Africans enslaved large numbers of West Africans prior to Europeans. Stil
l, here you are rambling about me blaming whites for slavery or implying colonia
l Spaniards enslaved each other. Please keep your ridiculous projections to your
own commentary. Still, the English participated heavily in the Atlantic Slave Tra
de, this is not to assign blame but a simple fact refuting your theory that the P
C public university system is wildly overstating British involvement. I agree the
re is however a failure to tell the whole story.
dubz December 24, 2013 at 8:42 AM Listen to Mott, Early Eurocentric explorer
nd scientists as compared to, Nutty Black AfroCentrists how racist, ignorantly indif
ferent, and hypocriticalLOL! @ India Land of Paradise Heres the correct response, it w
as those early nutty and definitely racist Eurocentric explorers, tomb raiders,
artifact thieves and robbers who at some point, along with in time, nutty and ra
cist Eurocentric benefactors and scientist who applied a non-scientific pseudo-r
acial classification to the Ancient Egyptians and all other people in order to m
ake all great civilizations of the past that they finally discovered the product o
f either Indo-Europeans, mythical Aryans, Caucasoids, or influenced and develope
d by either group who they deemed as one in the same, their ancestors, and super
ior. This type of revisionism was being proposed in the deepest of sub-Saharan Afr
ica. If you study the history of race science, youll find it interesting that eve
n some eastern and southern Europeans were not considered white at first, and youll
be amazed how the racial classification of white or Caucasoid has grown exponential
ly over the centuries to include those who were once deemed as being racial other
s and were discriminated against and mistreated (and in some cases still are). (T
his happened even to the people of India also). And it was not, Nutty Black AfroCen
trists who were the first to began to give Black Africans the credit for various
great civilizations and influences in diverse places throughout the world and hi
story, it was a vast number of unbiased European chroniclers, explorers, histori
ans, researchers, and scientist who began writing down these facts about African
people as discovered, as far back as the Ancient Greeks and to this very day. Bef
ore there was an attempt to make Ancient Egypt the glory of Caucasian and Arab-E
gyptian achievement, this is how they both related to and honored the history of
this great world civilization (as excerpt from the web): Not only have the images
in the tombs and temples of African mummies been altered and defaced; there is a
tradition dating back to at least 1000 A.D. in which Arabs and later Europeans
engaged in the practice of eating mummy. This practice was widespread in Egypt and We
stern Europe and it consisted of countless ancient African mummies being burned,
ground up and made into a kind of powder in order to be eaten. This incredible
act of cannibalism was considered an effective medical practice and folk remedy.
The belief became widely prevalent that cures could be obtained by eating groun
d-up preserved bodies. Eating mummy was considered effective in treating; contusio
ns, coughs, epilepsy, migraines, ulcers, cases of poison and as a general panace
a. Thousand upon thousands of Ancient Egyptian remains were destroyed this way, and
as fuel and for other products Lets move on In the US, there is a historical One Drop Ru
le which was devised by whites to endorse and protect their illusion of white rac
ial purity. This rule said that if a person was 1/32 Black or African geneticall
y, then they were to be considered, Black, Negro, colored, or negroid (all the sa
me at that time) and to be treated as suchno matter how white European they looked
or were genetically! As we can see, this rule still has precedence to this very d
ay, yet only until it comes to archeology and the history of the world Black people
are not claiming anything, thats a conquesting European thing, we are just interes
ted in the science and the whole truth as discovered and reported. Whites cant prohib
it Black people and other people of color from reading, becoming educated, or me
rely going to the public library anymore, so theyre losing control of their lies,
myths, and the dissemination of information and their mad about it. case closed
Mott December 24, 2013 at 12:33 PM Dumbz is hilarious- a vast number of unbi
sedbegan writing down facts. Thats his version of unbiased research! Dumbz, what does
burning mummies, or eating mummy powder, have to do with anything? A: Nothing.
This was going while the AEs were being claimed by some white scientists. It was
done because there were literally thousands and thousands of mummies being foun
d at the time- they were cheaper to burn than coal- weird! What does that have t
o do with his argument? Dumbz, what does the one-Drop Rule have to do with anything? T
here was no such rule or law in America until some Southern and a few Midwestern
states passed them in the 1910-1920 period. Before that, it was considered that
being 3/4 white was enough. Many mulattoes passed for white. So what? What does t
his have to do with Egypt? A: Nothing. Babbling Dumbz is a typical illogical Black
psuedo-intellectual. Pathetic. At least Mr. Bill was a real intellectual, althou
gh his habit of dumping a bunch of incomprehensible stuff he found on genetic re
search sites and presenting it as his own was annoying. Poor Dumbz. Not all black
are dumbz, but Dumbz is definitely all black. Whites cant prohibit Blacks from read
ing- they do it themselves. When they do read they are uncritical and predispose
d to their own prejudices. Critical thinkers they are not.
dubz December 24, 2013 at 5:30 PM Poor Mott the marginalized mutant maniac,
got all of his facts twisted concerning the One Drop Rule and passing Motty, do you act
ually know why it was called passing? No you dont, for the One Drop Rule as law was n
othing but the legalization of what was already in place throughout the South, j
ust as the viciousness of de facto Jim Crow was alive and well in the North for
decades and even during the Civil Rights era. When has a racist white citizenry an
ywhere in the US ever needed a law on the books to discriminate, deny, mistreat,
torture, and murder Black people or anyone else? You ignorantly say, Before that,
it was considered that being 3/4 white was enough. Many mulattoes passed for white
. Again, if being 3/4 white was enough.. why pass?!! And 3/4 white does not make one a
mulatto, who if discovered passing, would have been killed by the same white comm
unity that he passed into. Get your facts straight. Mott, you cant teach or speak o
n that which you have not lived, unless you are prepared to stop being a racist
and do some intensive study, for your hillbilly backwardness and superficial und
erstanding of American history as it pertains to African Americans is obvious, j
ust like the big disconnect thats obvious in your logic. You cant study from reruns
of Roots on your VCR and get this level of knowledge and understanding. And this i
s why I put forth my previously posted observations of white Americas thoughts an
d behaviors, for this is the same incomplete ability to reason or be unbiased th
at was used in parsing and then lying about and hiding the truth concerning Afri
can people and the Ancient Egyptians of Africa. I know your racist relatives have
raised and then convinced you to believe that all facts and hypothesis are to be
developed and then secured within a very narrow and unchallengeable Eurocentric
vacuum unrelated to anything else but the myopic and exclusive views of other w
hite Europeans and their view of world, but unfortunately Mott, that is not the
real world (not anymore). And then you post something as oxymoronic as, Mr. Bill was
a real intellectual..yet what Mr Bill posted was (your words), incomprehensible wew!
you are starting to scare me Motty pass it to the left MottLOL! If whites were such
critical thinkers, why is the world theyve mugged and have so wickedly controlle
d thus far in such a mess? I meaneating the mummies???I be Damned! Critical thinkers?
H_mmm? critical thinking white peopleh_mmm?? oh well Hey Mott, make sure you leave some
milk and cookies and some of your medication for ole Santa, and just be glad your
e seeing another white ChristmasLOL!
Mott December 24, 2013 at 7:44 PM Dumbz- You win! I cant take debating someo
e who doesnt make any sense- it gives me a headache. Battle of wits with an unarm

right the whole time. Now will you shut up? Before I go away from this thread for
ever, though, Dumbz- a couple of points. 1) I have no racist relatives, I was ra
ised to be non-racist 2) Hillbilly? No, Im from L.A. and O.C. My dad worked as a sc
hoolteacher for 35 years in the ghetto schools of Compton and Watts, Dumbz. Teac
hing ungrateful n-words like you how to read and write. But, yes, I know nothing
of your Black experience! Im a real racist, Dumbz, thats why I voted for Obama twic
e (glady) and am a diehard Democrat. Thats why I graduated from the most diverse
university in California, where I had friends of every color, ethnicity, and per
suasion. Where I got a degree in History by taking class after class on the raci
al history of the U.S. and the rest of the world. But, youre right- I know nothing.
A white guy cant say anything about blacks- ever! How could I know what its like

dubz December 25, 2013 at 7:46 AM Oh a Beverly HillbillyLOL! (probably befor
your time) Mott, because you live in LA and your father was a unsuccessful inner-
city teacher in Compton, this means nothing, for if he actually taught someone t
o actually read and write, he would have not deemed them ungrateful and had more o
f an appreciation for his craft and his student body. Obviously, he didnt, and then
came home influencing you with his disinterest and racist venom concerning his
students, who so happen to be Black. The Public school system is full of teachers
that shouldnt be teaching regardless of race (nothing new here). You say youre not a
racist and then call me the infamous n-word, a white liberals closeted way of say
ing niggerLOL! you got to be kiddingLOL! poor Mutt Hey Mutt, you maniacal mutant miscre
ant moron, do your so-called colored friends realize youre a closeted racist?? Youre
so paternalistic that its disturbing LA is full of racistit has a very long history
of very caustic white racist attitudes and violent actions towards Black people,
from the governing bodies, to the police force, to the citizenry that hired the
m both. Do you know how many racist white boys I know who are Democrats? The natio
n is full of hillbilly racist who vote as Democrats because the Democrats are pr
o-Union (good paying jobs), yet they will still elect Republican governors who r
ule over their rural backwater hollows. Mutt, youre more like those Dixiecrats of t
he ole Jim Crow SouthBlack folks are okay, as long as they keep quiet and stay in
their place. Mutt, you can say what you want to me, however, lets remember, the firs
t comments you made were insults, so youre going to get insults in returnHey Mutt,
didnt grandpa tell you? Slavery is over Lets nip this in the bud The ancient Egyptians
were a people of African descent, and they did not come to Africa from outside t
he continent and were always there, They themselves traced their beginnings back t
o the Upper Nile region, which is even deeper into sub-Saharan Africa. However, si
nce ancient Egypt (Kemet) was a large empire, it like all other empires was inha
bited and visited by people from all over the known world, including in later dy
nasties, Greek scholars. No one race represents France, England, or Germany, and t
here were great men of African descent part of these nations histories for hundre
ds of years, however, we know that the origins of the ruling classes of these na
tions were for the most part, white Germanic Europeans, and so were their cultur
al influences. With this knowledge at hand, we know Ancient Egypt had to be a di
verse empire, yet it was not in the Middle East (it didnt exist then), and it was
on the continent of Africa, had African rulers, and developed out of African be
ginnings, basically, a Black African (negroid) hierarchical lineage (matrilineal)
that came down from the upper Nile to establish what we know of now. http://images.

Mott December 25, 2013 at 3:17 PM You won, Dumbz. Your photobuckets prove it
. You can shut up, now- you won! Oh, thats right, if I tell you to shut up you wo
ntsokeep going! Beethoven was black, and there were tons of great Africans throughout
the early histories of France, England, and Germany. And, youre right- the Middl
e East didnt exist back in those early days. And, your point about how smoking crac
k should be legal is a salient one. I used a big word there, so I would sound mo
re edumacated, like you. And, youre right- my dad was a total racist (my brother
is in stiches over this). Dont stop! Keep the hits coming! And, yes, I am no racist
, you nigger piece of shit. I fucked your momma and your sister- would a raciss
do that? There- I said it.
dubz December 25, 2013 at 7:36 PM LOL! Mut, youre a sick little puppy LOL! A
viously, a very weak-minded white boy Check your prescriptions, for obviously, theyr
e not workingLOL! A closeted liberal white racist (never was an oxymoron), the most
insidious kind of racist, if you pull their string hard enough, they will revea
l their hidden inner Klansman Mut, you just cant handle the truth and youre a great exam
ple of what happens to some white people when they are faced with the truth, and t
he reason why the truth was kept from you Your father, mother, grandfather, and tex
tbooks all lied to you Mutt, yet youre too self-conceited and dumbed-down to know
it Go turn on the FOX News channel and enjoy some white Christmas programing. You dont
phase me little boy I dont have the time to listen to the psychopathic maniacal mutt
erings of the descendent of desecrating tomb robbers and mummy-eating savages.
Yun Bak Ho December 25, 2013 at 8:49 PM I dont have the time to listen to th
psychopathic maniacal mutterings of the descendent of desecrating tomb robbers
and mummy-eating savages. Too be honest that was actuslly quite funny. During this
whole argument Mott was fighting back with Sandlerian humor, but now we see tha
t Dubz has a few tricks up his sleeve as well. As long as everyone can fight wit
h this twisted humor I dont mind grabbing some popcorn and watching you guys shi
t on each other. Now when yall start to revert to DNA tests and mummy bullshit i
t gets boring, but the way Mott and now recently Dubz as well is employing humor
, this hads got to be one of the best discussions. We want moar! Moar humore and
bullshit,vnot boring lectures on DNA. Please shit diarreah of the mouth on each
other, you shit talking foul mouthed halitosis fucks!
Mott December 25, 2013 at 11:00 PM @ Yun- Yes, I have to agree with you ther
e that Dumbz has a way with verbiage that is not exceptional for his ilk, but is
instead part of long, great history of blackfrican storytelling, from the circu
mcision/manhood rituals of the Gombe to the cries for freedom as Kunta Kinte ran
from his evil white blood sucking kidnappers, the mandibulations of Mandela and
the mandrill monkeys vs, the baboons as the honky spaceman invaders in 2001 A S
pace Oditty and Rosa Parks did not only stand DOWN for the bloody shirt of the t
he Mandingo-oppressed silverback racism which double-manifested itself unto itse
lf as Brother Jesse and Father Martin Luthers Supremes Greatest Hits album, as the
darkest of all darkie Sambo Pharaohs of the Kush-Tush you know what Im talkin abo
ut . Just let me know where you want to go to that home Ill call La Grange where the
white girls and the KKK and Uncle Sanders BBQ fricassied lynch party has done b
egotten the Trayvons and the LaToyas and the white lines going through my mind c
ause its a mans mans mans mans world and I float like a butterfly sting like a bee an
d that, Viginia, is why Ejipshons are Black!
dubz December 26, 2013 at 9:28 AM zzzzz-z Mut, you almost put me to sleep wit
your ridiculously riotous rant @Yun Mutt just dont know, I havent even warmed-up on hi
mLOL! However, he just aint worth it, for he unravels rather easily. And Im not trying
to totally ruin his white Christmas holiday What is going on here, is more a battle
of public opinion than just DNA analysis alone. A public opinion that was reinfo
rced by decades, if not a couple hundred years of racist and compromised science
, anthropology, and archeology, all geared to enhance the illusion of the racial
superiority of a global minority and anomaly, the white people. First the white race
had to be invented, and then the identifying social constructs and perceived phy
siological markers had to be tweaked over a few centuries. And following this, w
as an onslaught on reason and the way whites were to be compared to, not only Bl
acks, but all other minorities. And this is where the weapon of education or the
lack thereof came into the picture. Just a few decades ago in the US, world histo
ry was basically, European history, no dignified historical mention of Africans
or African Americans, barely of Asians, and even Native Americans were marginali
zed. All attempts at scholarship were to prove that whites, Caucasians, Indo-Europea
ns, or Europeans (take your pick) were responsible for every great historical ev
ent and discovery relative to almost every great civilization; nothing else or a
ny other hypothesis, opinion, or fact had relevance until it was Eurocentrically
approved or scrubbed. Basically, white is always right The racial and social construc
ts that were used even when analyzing historical events and civilizations that d
efined if a people were to be deemed white (European), yellow (Asian), brown (In
dian or Hispanic), black (African) and so forth were all set firmly in place and
freely manipulated by Eurocentrist, no matter what percentage of other one may ha
ve in their genome or not. Eurocentrist feel they have the sole and exclusive righ
t to adjust racial definitions at will relative to their own benefit and glory. Wh
ite people always want the last word Being 25%, 50%, or 31/32% white has never chan
ged our Black racial category or treatment in the US, unless we were white enough to
hide the fact (by appearance or documentation) that we were not racially pure (as
if being white is the highest and most purist genetic exclusivity). Yet now when
it comes to great civilizations and histories, somehow, every phenotype, dark to
blackest complexion, and culture in the world is becoming an acquisition toward
s the glory of European or white history and civilization! The finding of a few blon
de hair mummies near or within China proper has the Eurocentrist ball-rolling ag
ain What has happened with Egyptology is that either the ancient Egyptians had to b
e Caucasoid or some newly-discovered Homo Sapiens unrelated to any other genetic
lineage, and definitely unrelated to the African genome of the continent they o
ccupied for millenniums and from which all humankind arouse this is amazing! simply
amazing! These are one of the few people in history that have not been allowed to
be identified by the continent of which they were discovered, lived, and develo
ped within, i.e., Africa. The fact is that most whites are such latent racist th
at they cant even call the Ancient Egyptians what they were, Africans, alone spea
ks volumes.
Mott December 26, 2013 at 1:48 PM Dumbz is quite obviously a product of the
P.C. Multi-Culti B.S. public college/university system. I know this for a fact b
ecause I just survived four years of that same system. Virtually every class cou
ld have been labeled Hatred of Euros 101. It was also filled up with so much non-s
cience and questionable assertions, all in the name of Multi-Cultural education, t
hat it was laughable, and quite outrageous at the same time. In my classes, they t
aught that race doesnt exist- its a social construct. If thats true, than there is no b
lack race, asian race, mestizo race. Minoritie dont exist. Of course, then they c
laim that its only the white race that doesnt exist. Every other race ROCKS! La Raza
racist stuff about Hispanics being the Magical Race and how half the U.S. is stole
n from Mexico and they are on a Reconquista mission to re-take their land. This is
being taught as fact in our public universities. Any challenging is of this nons
ense is labeled racist and is shut down. They teach history now in such a way that
you would think that every bad thing ever done was done by a W.A.S.P. (or maybe
an evil Catholic like Columbus). What a joke! How do I know thats what they teac
h? Because I got a degree in history from this ridiculous P.C. system. The ultra
-conservatives are actually very right on this one issue. The P.C. Multi-Cultis ar
e the knee-jerk reaction to the Old Dead White Guys Never Did Wrong way of teach
ing history in the U.S. To say that they are going way, way too far is an unders
tatement. Lets just take one issue that Dumbz should know about: slavery No mention i
s ever made of certain key facts: African slaves were all purchased from other A
fricans who had already captured and enslaved them. 85 % of all these slaves wen
t to the Caribbean, Central & South America. Only 15% of all African slaves went t
o the Southern U.S. In the South, only about 15% of white male Southerners owned
slaves. Of these slave owners, 60% were middle-class males who owned 1-2 slaves
who basically lived with the families, 25% were upper-middle class who owned be
tween 3-10 slaves. Only 15% of all slave owners were stinking rich plantation owne
rs, however, they owned 85% of all slaves! So, only 15% of all African slaves- s
old by their own people- were owned by only 20% of the Southern whites, of which
almost all were a very small group of whites. Yet, every white American is to b
lame for this! In spite of 400,000 white male Union soldiers dying (at least par
tly) on behalf of freeing black slaves. Blacks in the U.S. can thank liberal White
s for their civil rights and the lack of oppression that they enjoy now. Yet, th
ey will never stop attacking ALL whites. Ive never treated anyone badly on accoun
t of prejudice- yet Im a racist! Wow! Dumbz says that Whites have done a terrible job
of running the whole worldWell, lets see- look at China, look at India- wonderful
places that are both, according to Dumbz, run by Whites. That accounts for abou
t 3/4 of the humans on the planet. Whites also do a terrible job of running Africa
, Dumbz home continent. Look at how terrible Africa is- and whites are to blame! I
am told by those in the know that it is de riguer for U.S. blacks, if they have
any intelligence at all (for blacks), that they must embrace Black-Fro-Centrism
and Ancient Egyptians= My Niggas. It is virtually a rule among blacks who hold Ma
ssas degrees (ironic!) and PhDs, Im told. Scary! I dont think Dumbz is that bright- he
probably has (almost finished) his B.A. in Negroidal Studies from an inner city
community college. But, it shows you how even smart U.S. blacks arent that intellig
ent. They engage in magical pre-scientific thinking. Every black person that I met a
t university who was as smart as a white person was a black from Africa. There a
re some smart U.S. blacks, but where are they to blow the whistle on the idiocy? H
eres some advice for Dumbz- When you present evidence in the form of photos, pictur
es, etc. to back up a claim, you have to state exactly what it is, what it is ca
lled, when it is from, where it is now and what the scientific consensus (if any
) is on it. Otherwise, its meaningless. Happy Kwanzaa-mass, Dumbz!

Bill December 27, 2013 at 4:22 PM Race IS a social construct, though applica
ble in certain biological terms, it absolutely fails in others. Mott struggles w
ith the facts and now must project some version of his own racist ideology upon
the entire academic landscape, deeming his very education useless and unreliable
. Public universities aside, the scholarship we present is mainstream and widesp
read. You side with those who say OOA has no credence! You are less some weary i
ntellect, exasperated by a limited classroom experience, than you are the young
earth creationist, cursing the presence of evolution theory in textbooks. Im sorr
y your ideology has been utterly destroyed in light of the facts, actually, not
so much.. The Abolition movement was a joint effort of freed blacks and white peop
le, yet it was the former which embodied the movement. Given his comments on the
cotton gin and the industrial revolution, it seems our resident historian is co
rrect in questioning his educations credibility. First published in 1999, Africana:
The Encyclopedia of the African and African American Experience is a 2,095 page
, Dubois-dreamed encyclopedia of black people. A Harvard-led production, the boo
k doesnt back Afrocentric or Eurocentric ideology, making arguments sure to frust
rate both sides. (The term moor isnt even included.) This is an excerpt from the le
ngthy bit on Abolitionism, which Mott claims was a white liberal movement blacks
should be thankful for. This was written by James Clyde Sellman, a white, Harva
rd scholarp9 Abolitionism was never a self contained or singular movement. It encomp
assed a bewildering array of national, state, and local organizations, contradic
tory practices, and clashing personalities. Abolitionists are commonly portrayed
as benevolent white people deeply concerned with the well-being of enslaved bla
cks, epitomized by such activists as Garrison and Harriet Beecher Stowe, the aut
hor of Uncle Toms Cabin(1852). In fact, a great number of abolitionists, includin
g Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth, were African American. Free blacks in
the North were stalwart in their dedication to the cause and provided a dispropo
rtionate share of the movements monetary support, including a large majority of t
he Liberators early subscribers. Whether black or white, most abolitionists found i
nspiration in two key strains of American thought: republicanism, the intellectu
al legacy of the American Revolution, and Protestant Christianity, especially an
emotionally charged evangelicalism. Yet like their nonabolitionist contemporari
es, many white abolitionists were convinced of the racial inferiority of blacks.
Abolitionists acted forthrightly to correct what they perceived as a grievous w
rong, but they could not wholly separate themselves from the assumptions and lim
itations of their time. Blacks can thank themselves for progress. Your arbitrary pe
rspective and numbers based on air serve no purpose. 100 percent of blacks in Am
erica have dealt with the affects of racial subjugation. We all know Brits playe
d a major role in the slave trade. Heres the hard numbers concerning the slave tr
ade (1519-1867) compiled at Harvard, from the same book: Region of Departure: 5%(578
,450) Senegambia 7%(809,800) Sierre Leone/Windward Coast 9.1%(1,052,800) Gold Coast 18
%(2,082,400) Bight of Benin 17%(1,966,730) Bight of Biafra 39.4%(4,558,200) West Cen
tral Africa 4.5%(520,600) Southeast Africa Region of Arrival: 38.5%(3,850,000) Brazil 17
.5%(1,750,000) Spanish Americas 3.25%(325,000) English Americas 13.6%(1,360,000) F
rench Americas .3%(30,000) Danish Americas 2%(200,000) Dutch Americas 18.4%(1,840,000)
British America(minus North America) 6.45%(645,000) British North America United
States The English took 502,500 slaves in the 17th century and 3,100,100 in the 18t
h. Though it was a relative few taken to the US, the cotton gin would make them
by far the most productive and a large part of Americas early Industrial Revoluti
on. This is rarely mentioned or portrayed. (We always see the factories, with ma
chines and workers at task under merciless demand and aspiration. Still no one t
alks about the economic realities of the American South and its briefly becoming
the richest region in the world, blacks excluded, through the Whitney-produced,
GLOBAL COTTON INDUSTRY.) As usual, youre a bit off on the slave trade dynamics bu
t for the first time we agree somewhat. The trans-Saharan slave trade, already a
live between African and Islamic tribes, was the predecessor for the Atlantic sl
ave trade. The mass infrastructure of the Atlantic Slave Trade began in the larg
e gold trade between Europeans and Africans. Brazil, not the US, was the colony
that took the most slaves by far, more than doubling any other. No wonder black
men love Brazilian woman!! English people didnt begin the mass enslavement of Wes
t Africans but simply participated in what the Spanish, Portuguese, Arabs, and y
es Africans were already doing. (All people sold people who looked like them int
o slavery). We disagree on blacks owing their rights to white liberals however.. I
t was compassionate whites who took part in what I call the Black Liberal Moveme
nt (Abolition, Civil Rights) led by an entire host of historical African America
ns from Douglass, Banneker, and King to Tubman, Parks, and Angela Davis.
Mott December 27, 2013 at 5:23 PM OH NOOOO!!!!! MR. BILL IS BACK!!!! I retrac
what I said about you being a black intellectual, Bill. Youre a DUMB FUCKING NIGGER,
Mr. Bill. 1) Where did I say I side with those who give OOA no credence? I dont, you
fucking moron. You just lied. Imagine that BackFroCentrist making stuff up! 2) I
said the Civil Rights movement was successful because of white liberals, you dum
b monkey. Not the Abolitionist Movement of the 19th century. 3) You claim my numbe
rs are based on air about the slave trade and then confirm them. And yes, and even
less than I said- actually only about 5% of all slaves went to the American Sou
th. 4) You then conflate Southern America with British possessions in the Caribbea
n, Central, and South America, which had almost nothing to do with slavery in Am
erica. You imply that because Americans were all English, and England had more sla
ves in other places besides the U.S.then Americans were more guilty in the slave
trade? Huh? You imply that the cotton gin was invented by an English guyso that m
akes the English more guilty in the slave tradehuh? Babble on, Bill. Your argument
about Abolition is wrong, also. Blacks couldnt vote in the numbers required to ge
t abolition laws passed in the North. Nor did they have the money to finance the
movement. It was a white, Christian movement with a good number of rock stars in
the form of educated, articulate male blacks who wowed audiences. And, though wh
ite women couldnt vote, they played a huge part in Abolitionism. I should find a
big book where one Jewish academic backs up my assertion, then just copy/paste i
t in as research. Sloppy, Prof. Bill! But then, you say white Abolitionists were nas
ty people because they were still racist, and wanted to send them back to Africa
. They should have. Yes, and Lincoln was a racist and a bad person. Washington a
nd Jefferson were bad guys, nasty racists. Fuck you, niggers, is more like it! If
all Black Americans were like you, Professor Bill, I would recommend all for imm
ediate deportation to Africa. Blacks never, ever should have been brought over a
s slaves in the first place. We would have never had a lot of nasty stuff- inclu
ding a permanent, surly, uneducated underclass who champion magical thinking, ps
eudo-science and therapeutic rewriting of history.
Bill December 27, 2013 at 6:19 PM Also, the union soldiers who died in the c
ivil war died for their country. (A country whose leadership decided to follow i
ts own ideals and stop participating in large scale human trafficking for nation
al profit.) What did Confederate soldiers die for? I dont know many intelligent bla
cks who see white people today as responsible for slavery or that really know an
ything significant about Ancient Egypt. Theyre as EC as any other group. The thou
ght that these are tenants of black intellectualism in the US is false. What man
y DO feel is that anyone, of any color, should be able to see the modern facts a
s they are. Black poverty in America starts with slavery not welfare and public
housing. The whole of America gained from the free labor provided by slaves in t
he south, the first agricultural powerhouse. South Carolinas early economy was abso
lutely dependent on rice, not only worked, but locally domesticated by Africans
who received nothing. Your numbers are bs and EVERYONE except blacks benefited f
rom their labor in early America. There may have been a small amount of large pl
antation owners, but there WAS a large slave population and there WAS enough mon
ey to make them a powerful, adjusted group had they been paid anything close to
a fair wage. Will you truly disagree with this? By the time European immigrants
came flooding into Ellis Island, blacks should have held office and real estate.
Instead, Irish, Scottish, Jewish, German, Italian, and so on would be given swa
y, leapfrogging the African people who literally spent centuries in bondage to t
he American economy the recent arrivals had come to utilize. Many whites feel th
eir European descent gives them deeper American heritage than the blacks who can
trace their Americanism to the origin of the state. No Ellis-derived Europeans fo
ught in the Revolution!! To include slavery, subjugation, and segregation, white
racism has been absolutely devastating to the black population. A lack of educa
tion and general resources are to blame for modern circumstances. Teenage pregna
ncy and substance abuse are effects not causes. If YOU cant see this then yes, YO
U, are to blame. Bay Area Guy, youre confusion was remedied earlier. What is so fas
cinating about Africans claiming African history? Why dont you contend with the e
vidence presented instead of hurling redundant, refuted bias from the sideline? So
me more on Cotton from Africana p.456.. By 1860 cotton King Cotton, as it became kn
own was the chief crop of the South and totaled 57 percent of all United States
exports. Largely because of the dominance of cotton, the South resisted the indu
strialization that swept the North in the nineteenth-century. Thus the South man
ufactured little, and most manufactured goods had to be bought from the North or
imported from overseas. Meanwhile, the North by the eve of the Civil War had be
come an established industrial society. For economic and moral reasons the North
did not use slave labor, instead relying on its own workers and European immigr
ants to power its factories, build its railroads, and settle the West. Northerners
demanded high tariffs on imports to protect their goods from cheap foreign comp
etition. The South, however, wanted just the opposite: low tariffs on the many g
oods imported. The persistent conflict over the tariff was crucial because, at t
he time, the federal government had few other sources of revenue neither persona
l nor corporate income taxes existed. Thus the tariffs funded the turnpikes, rai
lroads, and canals that were so important to Northern industrialization and West
ern expansion. The South preferred to do without these improvements in return fo
r lower tariffs. This conflict was never fully resolved until after the Civil Wa
r. The Confederacy sucked, the physical, mobile embodiment of backwards racist thin
king which once contended with the American military. The presence, power, and p
ersistence of white racism isnt as imagined as some like to argue. Reverse-racism i
s irritating but doesnt compare and has had no real effect on whites liberty or op
portunities in general.
Robert Lindsay December 27, 2013 at 6:40 PM Hey Bill, I want to compliment y
ou. You have a fine mind when you are not talking about that Egypt stuff. I dont
read your Egypt stuff because my mind is made up on that one. But I like your ot
her writing. Nice stuff. Happy to have you on the board my Black friend.
Mott December 27, 2013 at 6:51 PM Mr. Bill- Thanks for the lesson on the Ci
ar that you copy/pasted. I didnt need it. But, lets take the North for moral and ec
onomic reasons, did not use slave labor and juxtapose that with your assertion: E
veryone except blacks benefited from their labor in early America If the whole of A
merica was befitting so much from slavery (along with every poor white Southerne
r), as you claim, then why didnt the U.S. economy collapse with the end of slaver
y? The North wasnt profiting from slavery, stupid. If it was, it may not have gon
e to war in 1865. The answer is that while slavery was very profitable for a small
portion of the population in the South, the wealth was not spread around, and w
as dwarfed by the wealth of the North. Slavery was also getting cumbersome and l
ess profitable- slaves got old, got sick, etc. and couldnt be replaced with new one
s- they had to breed them. The South wasnt so rich. Thats why the South lost- that, a
nd they had far fewer people (esp. non-slaves) to do the fighting. Your figure a
bout the South being the richest, briefly is because there werent that many total (
non-slave) citizens, so that skewed the income per capita. Can you copy/paste some
more of your skollarshup, Bill?
Bill December 27, 2013 at 7:04 PM Ok, Mott.. 1. You side with Yun and Mowers
n this debate, I believe Yun has, but Im sure Mowers has voiced his complete oppo
sition to OOA. I know youve said you dont disagree with OOA, thats why I hope you s
ee the ridiculous nature of those you side with in this, the race of AE debate.
Your own comments fall in line with wandering caucasoid theory. As I said, you sid
e with the loons and they with you. Some ACs are crazy too but I have voiced my o
pposition to racism on either side and produced no insanely bigoted thoughts of
my own to place me in line with them. 2. You said Blacks in the U.S. can thank libe
ral Whites for their civil rights and the lack of oppression that they enjoy now
. The Abolition movement was part of blacks gaining civil rights and comfortable li
ving in America. The words I quoted were that of Harvard scholarship, more than
credible enough for this debate. Your statement on freed blacks having no money
is false as stated in the quote. What voting rights for abolition laws in the No
rth? This was about abolition of slavery IN THE SOUTH. 3. Where do you get your nu
mbers then? I suspect its air as I suggested. I said I agree with you somewhat bu
t you were a bit off. I also said Englishman were not responsible for the start
of slavery in anyway but DID participate in a sizable fashion. I dont blame Ameri
cans for anything, but Americans DID gain from the slaves brought to the US, esp
ecially after the introduction of the cotton gin.
Bill December 27, 2013 at 7:13 PM Not only did the Northerners gain from sla
very but there were entire boomtowns in the North created from the expansion of
the Southern COMMERCIAL COTTON INDUSTRY..
Mott December 27, 2013 at 7:36 PM Mr. Bill sez By the time European immigr
s came flooding into Ellis Island, blacks should have held office and real estat
e. I have heard this before from revisionist, politically correct types. Only its wr
ong. If it wasnt for slavery, Africans never would have set foot in America in an
y kind of large numbers (at least not until after the 1965 Immigration Act). Afric
ans didnt build ships that crossed the Atlantic, and they never voluntarily emigr
ated to the Northern or Western U.S. in any numbers before or after the Civil Wa
r. One could imagine that even if Africans voluntarily emigrated to the North (or
South- if slavery hadnt existed) that they would have run into some real roadbloc
ks to social advancement- not being white, not being European, not being Christi
an? Three strikes and you were out in those days. They would not have even been
granted U.S. citizenship in the 18th and 19th centuries ( slavery ironically led
to citizenship with the 14th Amend.) So, no, Africans would not have been owning
real estate by the time the Irish and Italians rolled in. Hell, Irish and Italia
ns werent even considered white then, and were relegated to slums when they got off
the boat. Did yo mamma eat yo homework, Mr. Bill? Or is it Mr. Bull As in Bullshit
?
Mott December 27, 2013 at 8:04 PM Bill- We can agree on some things, yes. Re:
o Ellis Island Euros fought in the Revolution. Very true. My ancestors go back to
the 1600s- just as many African Americans ancestors do. However, Southern slaves
escaped by the thousands and fought (or tried to fight) for the British in the
Revolution. Cant say as I blame em, tho! Not many Northern blacks fought for the c
olonists, however. I do agree that U.S. black poverty comes from slavery and oppre
ssion. i would advocate reparations to blacks if it was feasible. It isnt, so it
aint happening. I will agree that there were some boom towns in the North that proces
sed and shipped the Souths cotton- two things the South couldnt do or couldnt do we
ll enough. But- the North would have profited in some way from anything the Sout
h did, as long as they didnt have factories or enough good ports. A better argument
that you could have made would be that sugar cane rum from the Caribbean was a
key to the early U.S. economy, even in the North. That makes more sense. I do not
believe in a wandering Caucasoid theory. Mowers is crazy. At least you think that so
me ACs are loons. You have some sense! I want you to know that I participate in thes
e intellectual pissing contests not to hurl invective but in order to hone, furt
her, and brush up my historical knowledge. I did appreciate you pointing out my
error on the cotton gin- I remembered it did the work of 10 slaves, but not the
other part. As long as you can be reasonable, I can be civil!
Bill December 27, 2013 at 10:06 PM I wish you were more receptive to whats b
en presented Mr. Lindsay but thanks anyway. Mott, that seems fair enough.. Im not o
ne who feels one must be racist to not see AE as a black/brown civilization. Giv
en the way Egyptians and blacks are often portrayed, it must seem a strength for
some. I can also see how some, including some AAs, can see Bantu as the real Afric
an given the Bantu Expansion (one of the largest migrations in human history). S
till, once the evidence is presented in a coherent manner within full historical
context, I for one, feel the picture becomes clear. Ancient Egyptians were indi
genous Nile Valley Africans of a most likely burnt bronze complexion. Regardless
of skin color however, their history undoubtably traces back south to sub-Sahar
an Africa. I will continue to argue my position but it seems many of us will jus
t have to agree to disagree.
Mott December 23, 2013 at 12:42 PM Hey Yun- Im very close to agreeing with y
when you said, Why dont we just let the Blacks have the Egyptians? If it makes them
feel better, prouder, drives them to higher accomplishments? Yeah, I would actu
ally love to give it to them- they need something. I just dont think that rubber-st
amping psuedo-science and accepting wild claims as fact just so people can feel
better is a good thing to do. There is some interesting and conflicting evidence r
egarding the Black African/Egyptian argument. If everyone stuck to these legitim
ate questions, it would be a good argument. Instead, you have insane Black-Fro-Cen
trists debating Aryan-Centrists who also claim the Egyptians. The Afros are just
wrong, IMO, and I am not inclined to believe the Aryan theory at all, either, b
ut I havent looked into it. Its a fringe thing- most Whites wouldnt try to claim th
e Egyptians. Black paranoia.

Mott December 27, 2013 at 12:35 PM The mummy photos are a joke. Lots of mumm
ies are black in color because of decomposition and all the mummification oils t
hat they applied to the bodies and wrappings. Hair color is also deceiving- the re
d or blonde hair that some mummies have may not be the actual color. Ancient Egy
ptians mostly did have black hair, probably, and males and females wore wigs of
woven black hair. When you put one of these wigs on a blackened mummy body is su
re does look like Queen Latifa! The artwork obeys a convention that males were dep
icted as very dark reddish-brown (not black) and females were depicted as lighte
r yellowish-tan. In the Amarna Period, both sexes ere depicted as dark reddish-b
rown. It is interesting that some statues and busts look more Negroid than others.
However, AEs were definitely part Negroid (10%), and lived among Kushites and Bl
ack Africans, and racial mixing no doubt occurred. For every example that looks
more Negroid, though, there are tons that dont. Most of the ones shown are votive
statues- very small, hand-held objects that were not official, were not carved fr
om life, and were possibly made long after the reign of a pharaoh. The Sphinx is
very interesting- why does it look Negroid? Nobody knows anything about it, unf
ortunately. The Black Pharohs ruled Egpyt for less than 100 years. End of story. htt

u see how high those spacemen jumped? Case closed! Oh, heres photo evidence for d

starvation- adaptivity in action!

Robert Lindsay December 29, 2013 at 8:10 PM On this website, it is acceptabl
e to use it sardonically. Also you can quote someone else as using the word. If yo
u cant handle the fact that I allow that word on here, maybe you need to leave th

Robert Lindsay December 29, 2013 at 8:11 PM I do have a problem with using i

nigger on this website. You see? Now that is acceptable. PS Pkr: You are right on th
e verge on a ban for hostile tone.
Mott December 29, 2013 at 9:54 PM Mr. P- I only use that word in posts when a
tacked by blacks who call me a racist, uneducated redneck (wrong on all counts)
just because I disagree and think they are being illogical. Im not using it to be
mean-spirited. In spite of their insistence, mere use of the word doesnt make so
meone a racist, either. If blacks had an equivalent word for whites (they dont) the
y would use it all the time against whites. They are frustrated because there is
no equivalent word that they can use, thats all. They shouldnt be so afraid of it-
its only a word (and one they use themselves) that I use to mean a stupid black p
erson. The stigma and fear of that word is ridiculous. It was the Southern pronunc
iation of the word Negro. They need to stop feigning outrage over it. If they cant
see that Im using it with humor and irony, they need to reevaluate their sensitiv
ity. Everyone- black or white- needs to get over this ridiculous word, and that do
esnt mean making it illegal to use.

Mott December 30, 2013 at 11:57 AM special snowflakes- See, I told you that
acks are frustrated that there is no white equivalent for the n-word. Look at the Sph
inx. Perfect example of black logic. Just look at something, thats all. Empiricism
at its worst. The sun revolves around the Earth, too. Just look! I agree, the Sph
inxs appearance is interesting- it may indeed be a Negroid face, and it may repre
sent a Negroid king. Maybe a very early, pre-Dynastic king? Thats just one possib
ility. Or, a very late Kushite pharaoh who had it re-carved? But we dont know whe
n, by who, and for what reason it was made. It may not be an image of a king. We
dont know if the face is more recent. So, its a puzzle. Why do a handful of Negroid
-looking statues (and the Sphinx) prove something, but the thousands of non-Negroi
d images are just misleading?
Paul Van December 30, 2013 at 12:47 PM Whites Genetically Weaker Than Blacks
, Study Finds Published February 22, 2008FoxNews.com White Americans are both geneti
cally weaker and less diverse than their black compatriots, a Cornell University
-led study finds. Analyzing the genetic makeup of 20 Americans of European ancestr
y and 15 African-Americans, researchers found that the former showed much less v
ariation among 10,000 tested genes than did the latter, which was expected. They a
lso found that Europeans had many more possibly harmful mutations than did Afric
an, which was a surprise. Since we tend to think of European populations as quite l
arge, we did not expect to see a significant difference in the distribution of n
eutral and deleterious variation between the two populations, said senior co-auth
or Carlos Bustamante, an assistant professor of biological statistics and comput
ational biology at Cornell. Its been known for years that all non-Africans are desc
ended from a small group, perhaps only a few dozen individuals, who left the con
tinent between 50,000 and 100,000 years ago. But the Cornell study, published in t
he journal Nature Thursday, indicates that Europeans went through a second popula
tion bottleneck, probably about 30,000 years ago, when the ancestral population w
as again reduced to relatively few in number. The doubly diluted genetic diversity
has allowed bad mutations to build up in the European population, something that
the more genetically varied African population has had more success in weeding o
ut. What we may be seeing is a population genetic echo of the founding of Europe, said
Bustamante. http://www.foxnews.com/story/2008/02/22/whites-genetically-weaker-tha

Mott December 30, 2013 at 10:17 PM Hi, Mr. Paul Van DumbNigger- Thanks for yo
r comments. They speak for themselves. Only problem is that the only thing factu
al in your copy/pasted research gleaned from an online Fox News article is that Af
rican Blacks do indeed exhibit more genetic diversity BETWEEN the various differ
ent large groups of niggers. That has been established as scientific fact, however
, genetic diversity BETWEEN different groups speaks to nothing about the charact
eristics of the various groups YOU DUMB NIGGER and furthermore, genetic diversit
y between different large groups does not mean the same thing as genetic diversi
ty within a very small, isolated group. Further, genetic diversity in and of itsel
f does not equal genetic or any other type of strength YOU DUMB NIGGER and the mer
e presence of mutations is not indicative of much- mutations can be beneficial o
r harmful (the harmful ones tend to die out- its called evolution YOU DUMB ASS NI
GGER), but the Fox News article seems to imply that more mutations could be harmf
ul and yet does not elaborate. Mr. Van DumbNigger: Tell me how your ridiculous theo
ry about how Africans are superior is 1) different than any other races supremacy
theories, other than its lack of facts, and, 2) is less offensive than some Sto
rmfront white supremacist stuff. Also, Van DumbNigger, esplain why Black Africans h
ave advanced so little, and accomplished little compared to Caucasians and Asian
s. You cant- because youre genetically so strong and superior! There is a very rare
variety of nigger known as the Intelligent Black Person but these exceedingly scar

ured in 1966 by villagers in Equatorial Guinea. As the only known white gorilla
in the world, Snowflake was a zoo celebrity until his death of skin cancer in 20
03. A few studies had attempted to get to the bottom of what caused Snowflakes colo

.
. Bill January 1, 2014 at 10:08 AM I missed a bit and Id like to addres
s a few things but one of Mowers post in particular. First, MOWERS do you have a
response to dubz post regarding the genetic background of Greece and Europe? See
ms you ran as fast as you could with those long, counterproductive posts on Kore
a. When will you all retire this lowly charade? How many pretentious claims can
you produce? What number of outdated, refuted authors could you source if you ba
cked your statements by more than those mostly ridiculous sites you posted? Your
game of hopscotch etymology is refuted at all corners. Mowers vaguely postured,
imaginary clove of linguistic pathways has been rendered through bigoted fantasi
es of ahistorical revisionism. I dont think Mott, Yun, or RobL have offered anyth
ing that could be considered evidence. No amount of ranting can change the fact
that your basic premise is terribly flawed. As Darryl said, a look at the source
s we provide in opposition to your side alone show how far off base you are here
. As I said, Im not one who thinks having (some) views like Mowers is racist, mos
t just dont know. Given the modern presentation of AE I can see how many would se
e it as mostly Near Eastern, rifleman. Given the Bantu Expansion, one of mankinds
largest migrations, I can also see how many would see Bantu as the true African.
But once you are given large amounts of good information to the contrary and fai
l to change your views.. you are either incompetent or biased. We all know which
is at work here. Looking at the comments of some, it seems old habits truly die
hard, but die they will. You refute Diop as if youre the first, Mowers. Who cares
about the opinions of 1974? I offer more recent scholarship. As I said, I hadnt r
eferred to Diop this entire debate prior to you making incorrect assumptions reg
arding the melanin tests on basal epithelial cells done by Germans. You count the
so called Afrocentric claims but dont include melanin dosage tests? What funerary
treatments are you referring to specifically that increases the melanin below t
he epidermis? Youve referred to hair color as proof of AEs European heritage, this
is much better evidence than that. You never answered my request for sources on s
oftware showing the Sphinx was somehow distinctly different than every other Egy
ptian statue as you propose. There are some other unsubstantiated leaps you make
but the above should be a start. What does an even more ancient African monumen
t resting in the GREEN Sahara do to suit your Aryan philosophy? Who added the he
ad? (This is important. Is there ANY evidence of ANY pharaoh changing the Sphinx
?) If the face didnt represent Egyptians, why would later pharaohs allow it to st
and? Modern forensic scientists and many credible historians have noted the negro
id prognathism of the monument. Mott, it was a modern human in East Africa from whi
ch we all descend brother!!! Its funny you guys bring up Asian blacks in this deb
ate, still it wasnt spoken about in depth. We should talk more about the Aborigin
al or Original Australians and Daves first good evidence regarding Mungo man becaus
e there are quite a few of people pushing this while others like Mott prefer to
have it both ways, saying he agrees with OOA but not that all people are descend
ed from Africans Out of Australia Theory?? (Picking up from Mowers comments over a we
ek ago.) This is probably the best argument against OOA, but the Boom hardly leave
s a dent. Nice try Quoting a recent article to make this seem like breaking news
when it isnt. First off, I feel you must be confused, native/prehistoric Australi
ans arent white. Your attempt to move human origins outside of Africa to Australi
a, again, does nothing to ease your Nazi-spread affliction. Theres no connection
to these people and Nords. The article you quote is a rehash of the debunked the
sis of anthropologist Alan Thorne. In 2001, Thorne published his heavily debated
evidence for the multi-regional theory that modern humans evolved and lived out
side of Africa, prior to the migrations renown for populating the world. He does
nt claim the wandering caucasoid theory youve adopted Dave, he thinks the evidence s
ays Aboriginal Australians were first to migrate, not Nords. Thornes evidence was
55-70kyo DNA he claims to have extracted from a male specimen exhumed near Lake
Mungo named Mungo-man. With slender features and a tall, straight stature, Mungo
Man is anatomically modern. Thorne and his colleagues say Mungo Mans DNA isnt rela
ted to anyone on earths and thus obviously isnt African, proving modern humans fro
m Australia were out prior to those leaving Africa. Thorne says.. They were arguing tha
t because the earliest forms of this particular genetic sequence in living peopl
e was found in Africa, that meant that all people must have come from Africa Well
, logically, thats not true anymore because we now have an older form of indisput
ably modern human that comes out of Australia. The above is from a BBC article whic
h also comments on the number of geneticists who doubt DNA can be gained from a
specimen that old (70ka). The oldest prior to Thornes team was 28ka!!! Another is
sue was the high success rate. The report that Thornes team successfully sequence
d DNA from 10 out of the 13 fossils they tried, wreaks of contamination says Dr.
Chris Stringer, a professor quoted in the article. Another Australian team has
dated the specimen to 43ka however, a bit more logical and accepted age. The art
icle concludes with a rebuttal by said Dr. Chris Stringer, head of human origins
at the Natural History Museum in London.. But even ASSUMING the DNA sequences were
correct, Professor Stringer said it could just mean that there was much more ge
netic diversity in the past than was previously realized. What it says is that some
of that genetic diversity has been lost today, he told BBC News Online. This sequ
ence could have been in Australia and in Africa. In other words, it might have b
een in Africa 200,000 years ago, [it] came out with some of the African people a
nd then got lostThere is no evidence here that the ancestry of these Australian f
ossils goes back a million or two million years, which is the multi-regional pre
diction. Where is the evidence Thorne and his team sequenced this DNA properly fir
st of all? Has the genetics field abandoned their cynicism regarding Thornes work
? Has his perspective been adopted or refuted? Its known that 25-30 percent of hu
man mtDNA has been LOST so Mungo mans unknown genetic profile isnt the strike agai
nst OOA that Thorne suggests. At least youre finally providing sources and we may
now engage in debate. So.. A rehashed version of refuted anthropologist Alan Th
ornes 2001 theory is your source, while Ill reference Cambridge University from it
s 2007 article, New Research Confirms Out Of Africa Theory Of Human Evolution. The a
rticle relies on study done by Cambridge, Oxford, and Stanford as commented. Her
es a report on the article and what it says. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2
007/05/070509161829.html This particular page is an example of the stubbornness of
Eurocentrism. Cambridge considers this information CONFIRMATION OF OOA THEORY,
still, the writer decides to close with this piercing caveat.. Australias archaeolog
ical record provides several apparent inconsistencies with the Out Of Africa theor
y. In particular, the earliest known Australian skeletons, from Lake Mungo, are
relatively slender and gracile in form, whereas younger skeletal finds are much
more robust. This robustness, which remains, for example, in the brow ridge stru
cture of modern Aborigines, would suggest either INTERBREEDING between homo sapi
ens and homo erectus or multiple MIGRATIONS into Australia, followed by interbre
eding. The archaeological data also indicates an intensification of the DENSITY an
d COMPLEXITY of DIFFERENT STONE TOOLS in Australia during the Holocene period (b
eginning around 10,000 years BP), in particular the emergence of backed-blade st
one technology. The first dingos arrived at around the same time, and it is thou
ght both were brought to the continent by new human arrivals leading to THEORIES
OF A SECONDARY MIGRATION that has resulted in disputes regarding the single poi
nt of origin theory. This is unfortunate.. as it relates directly to the outdated t
heories the original article looks to fold!! Why would the author refer to these
ideas without stating that this is EXACTLY WHAT CAMBRIDGE CONTENDS WITH. Direct
ly above this ill-minded backtrack, the author writes.. Dr Toomas Kivisild, from th
e Cambridge University Department of Biological Anthropology, who co-authored th
e report, said: The evidence points to relative isolation after the initial arriv
al, which would mean ANY SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS IN SKELETAL FORM AND TOOL USE
WERE NOT INFLUENCED BY OUTSIDE SOURCESThere was probably a MINOR SECONDARY GENE F
LOW into Australia while the land bridge from New Guinea was still open, but onc
e it was submerged the population was apparently isolated for thousands of years
. The differences in the archaeological record are probably the result of this,
RATHER THAN ANY SECONDARY MIGRATION OR INTERBREEDING. This is the mainstream, again
, refuting your fringe Australian theory. Mungo man has been, and probably bette
r dated at 40ka. This would fall right in line with OOA, adding to the heap of e
vidence already at work. Even a specimen of 60ka is explained by OOA as it would
take movement of only a mile per year over 10,000yrs for early Homo sapiens to
move from Africa to Australia by 60ka. His unique genetic profile doesnt mean he
wasnt descended from Africans, but only that he had lineage that is now gone. MR
Hypothesis states, as OOA does, that archaic humans left Africa some 2 million y
ears ago so even if your evidence was credible, that would serve to push humans c
ommon ancestor back quite a bit but not change its origin..Africa! NO ONE DEBATES
THAT. As Stringer said, theres no evidence of these Australian fossils going bac
k 2 million years..OOA remains the prevailing theory. Again, the recent Cambridg
e article relies on work done by they, Oxford, and Stanford University and is en
titled New Research Confirms Out Of Africa Theory Of Human Evolution. Again, lets take
a look at Diamonds Guns, Germs, and Steel This is from the chapter regarding Aus
tralia and New Guinea. Diamond is a leading Anthropologist in the field, but thi
s part of the world is his expertise. There truly isnt a better source. Negative,
inaccurate views against blacks in general, but particularly his friend Yali an
d the New Guinea population to which he belonged, were Diamonds motivation for th
e book. This chapter is entitled Yalis People, lets see if the long prevailing view
of early Australia is in line with the fringe Australian researchers you cite cl
aiming finds there defeat OOA; or if it agrees with the view outlined by the mor
e geneticist-friendly 40k age for Mungo man and Cambridges explanation that anthrop
ological and genetic anomalies in Australias early inhabitants result from acute
isolation. Again name a better source on this issue. When Diamond mentions Austral
ians he means aboriginal people. From p.300-307 Australia and New Guinea were both o
ccupied by at least 40,000 years ago, at a time when they were both still joined
as Greater Australia This conclusion is supported by genetic relationships betwe
en modern Australians, New Guineans, and Asians, and by survival today of a few
populations of somewhat similar physical appearance in the Philippines, Malay Pe
ninsula, and Andaman Islands of Myanmar. Once the colonists had reached the shores
of Greater Australia, they spread quickly over the whole continent to occupy ev
en its farthest reaches and most inhospitable habitats. By 40,000 years ago, foss
ils and stone tools attest to their presence in Australias southwestern corner.. At P
leistocene times when Australia and New Guinea were initially occupied, the Asia
n continent extended eastwardnearly 1,000 miles nearer to Australia and New Guine
a than Southeast Asias present margin The crossings must nevertheless have been di
fficult, because after their initial landfall by 40,000 years ago the archaeolog
ical record provides no compelling evidence of further human arrivals in Greater
Australia from Asia for tens of thousands of years. Not until within the last f
ew thousand years do we encounter the next firm evidence, in the form of the app
earance of Asian-derived pigs in New Guinea and Asian-derived dogs in Australia. T
hus, the human societies in Australia and New Guinea developed in substantial is
olation from the Asian societies that founded them. That isolation is reflected
in languages spoken today The isolation is also reflected in genes and physical a
nthropology. Genetic studies suggest that Aboriginal Australians and New Guinea
highlanders are somewhat more similar to modern Asians than to peoples of other
continents, but the relationship is not a close one. In skeletons and physical a
ppearance, Aboriginal Australians and New Guineans are distinct from most Southe
ast Asian populations, as becomes obvious if one compares photos of Australians
and New Guineans with those of Indonesians and Chinese. Part of the reason for a
ll these differences is that the initial Asian colonists of Greater Australia ha
ve had a long time in which to diverge from their stay-at-home Asian cousins, wi
th only limited genetic exchanges during most of that time. But probably a more
important reason is that the original Southeast Asian stock from which the colon
ists of Greater Australia were derived has by now been largely replaced by other
Asians expanding out of China. There is no item that can be identified as having re
ached New Guinea via Indonesia, after the initial colonization of New Guinea ove
r 40,000 years ago, until the time of the Austronesian expansion around 1600 BC. The
tightly coiled hair of most New Guineans contrasts with the straight or wavy ha
ir of most Australians. Australian languages and New Guineas Papuan languages are
unrelated All that divergence of Australians and New Guineans from each other re
flects lengthy isolation in very different environments. Since the rise of the A
rafura Sea finally separated Australia and New Guinea from each other around 10,
000 years ago, gene exchange has been limited to tenuous contact.. Thorne explains
everyone on earths having African mtDNA as probably being derived from some more
ancient, non-African homo sapien. As I said.. a reach. Mungo mans genes show ther
e was more diversity than we thought and a portion of it died out. The changes i
n skeletal form and tool use are explained through isolation and the circumstanc
es it created. This is the best youve offered yet and important work, but a stret
ch if you say it can contend with OOA. Also, changing the A in out-of-Africa(n) ( As
I imagine some of you see it) to Aboriginal Australian doesnt do much to help yo
ur Aryan origins theory. OOA says 1. Archaic humans left Africa around 2 million y
ears ago and 2. Modern humans left Africa between 60-120ka and populated the MOD
ERN HUMAN WORLD. Modern Aboriginal Australians arent (nor are any other human on
earth) related to Mungo Man but instead the OOA migrants, see the University of
Cambridge article. Theres your evidencejust because Mungo man LOOKS modern doesnt m
ean hes the same as we are, Thornes whole point is THERE IS NO RELATION. Even IF m
odern humans evolved independently in Australia they were still replaced by yes,
modern African Homo sapiens, Mott! This is one of the major predictions of OOA
that has been substantiated many times. Also there is no evidence of archaic hum
ans originating in Australia and even multi-regional hypothesis agrees the first
humans of any kind came from Africa. OOA is safe on both its major predictions.
(I agree there is evidence these modern humans didnt just kill but mated with oth
ers of their genus. Speciation is a touchy subject, almost as bad as race. Neand
erthals may actually be Homo sapiens, still neither they nor Cro-Magnon are our
descendants. It was a small group of modern humans from East Africa.) The view of
early human history obtained through OOA has been an absolute dagger to the hear
t of racist ideology and many racists dream of the day it can be truly refuted,
if only to serve their own backwards ideals. Thus, like the preacher on Sundays,
Mowers proclaims some reckoning day as far off as he In which evidence will fall
from the sky and prove Hitlers worldview correct.. A truly insane approach to le
arning and gaining truth. Mr. Lindsays site is an exhibition of satire, you hopel
ess fools cant see hes making fun of you!!! What I just argued against is by far t
he best you people have come up with. Please go get the trolls who are actually
good at misrepresenting evidence!!!
Mott January 1, 2014 at 3:22 PM Mr. Bull- Mowers was banned from here before
Xmas. You are shouting at a wall. He was an interesting guy but rather odd. Sin
gling him out as the epitome of anti-ACs is classic paper tiger strategy. The paper
tiger you have constructed is: All who deny AEs were Blacks and all who deny AC
and Black Superiority are somehow all Nazis, Hitler-like, Aryan Supremacists, Eu
rocentric fanatics who think that AEs were Nordic Aryans. You forgot the mantra: F
irst one to bring up Hitler/Nazis lose the debate. The humans that came OOA 120,00
0 -60,000 ybp were not modern humans or modern Africans. All the modern races ar
e fairly recent in developing (only Australian Aboriginals may be a lot older). Of
course, the idea that whites evolved from blacks could be used to mean they are
more evolved than blacks, or could be used like ACs use it, to indicate some ki
nd of Black Supremacy. I think both ideas are stupid- modern whites didnt evolve
from modern blacks, nor did Asians, etc. They split off from each other long bef
ore the modern races developed. They were Homo Sapiens, as was Cro-Magnons, so the
y were modern in that sense, but not in a racial sense. I dont believe an Out of Aus
tralia theory. Never heard of it. Why would you ascribe it to me? OOA has nothing
to do with AEs or AC. Why all the cut-paste research, Mr. Bull? Its not relevant
to the topic.
Bill January 1, 2014 at 9:56 PM He was the most active in terms of trying to
provide some type of evidence, so it is his post I argue against. Im not sure ab
out this ban but well see. I never mentioned anything about Black superiority but
you HAVE mentioned white superiority a number of times. I could single out any of
you loons, youve all made ridiculous statements, but Dave refuted me with an act
ual argument relying on something more than whatever bs he typed into his comput
er. I only mentioned you as one who would say you agree with OOA, somewhat, yet
you feel Asians and Europeans arent African descendants This is Multi-Regional hyp
othesis. Make your mind up. Mower brought up the best argument for MRH, Out of A
ustralia Theory, but it fails to move OOA Theory. Obviously OOA is extremely relev
ant to this topic as many ECs ultra-speculative, ever-refuted perspective on huma
n origins is absolutely vital to their delusion of Caucasoids and denial of in sit
u African diversity. We arent descended from Cro-Magnon, another EC misconception
destroyed by OOA. This was confirmed by C.L. Brace, the same guy who showed Bro
nze Age Near Easterners had sub-Saharan features (another piece of evidence for
OOA that ties into this debate). Cut and paste research?? aka providing resources
and ACTUAL commentary from ACTUAL professionals. If the relevant sources agreed
with you, Im sure you would post them. Ive provided a heap of public sources and
a nice amount of content from two of my own books, Guns, Germs, and Steel and Af
ricana, each of which was written by Harvard-trained scholars. As Ive said again
and again, none of you have provided anything that even begins to contend. The huma
ns that came OOA 120,000 -60,000 ybp were not modern humans or modern Africans.
All the modern races are fairly recent in developing (only Australian Aboriginal
s may be a lot older). Then why do all people share African mtDNA? Read the Cambrid
ge articles stating CONFIRMATION OF OOA THEORY. I posted the link.
Mott January 2, 2014 at 12:30 PM Mr. Bull- I dont believe I subscribe to the
lti-Regional theory that youre talking about. You cant seem to get the timeline th
at has been proposed. Humans originated in Africa. Thats why all humans have Africa
n mtDNA. Some humans left Africa 120,000-60,000 ybp. The ones that did developed i
nto Cro-Magnons (proto Euros), proto-Asians and Australoids, etc. The ones that
didnt eventually developed into the modern African races. These early humans were
not members of any modern race and probably looked rather strange and primitive
to our eyes. So, we all came from African early humans (who were not Negroids), b
ut we all didnt come from African modern Negroids. Why do you seem to scramble and
distort this theory and misrepresent it? Why do have to divide the world into ACs
and ECs? I would not call myself one, if by EC you mean some kind of extremist who
wants to make stuff up to prove Euro superiority. Thats youre problem- in your worl
d, everything not AC is EC, and is therefore white supremacy and crazy. Havent yo
u heard from Sino-Centists and other centrists? They all want to claim to be the o
riginal at everything, and are just as nuts. Back to slavery, Bull- if it was so c
ommonplace and normal throughout much of European history and is persisting stil
l in Africa and Asia, why is it that only white Americans are singled out for ex
treme guilt and shame for their history, when most of our ancestors never owned
slaves? Slavery in the U.S. was bad- very, very bad. But why is it not presented i
n context? Why isnt the whole story told. only the parts that make all U.S. white
s look guilty as hell, while Africans and the rest of the world are innocent in it
?
Bill January 6, 2014 at 10:22 PM Srry.. No one says you descend from modern b
acks.. We all know which race has the most affinity with those black Africans yo
u DO descend from regardless of their craniometric features. Why is it that the
features of caucasoids, negroids, and all others are present in modern African p
opulations? Well get back to this Cro-Magnon arent Porto-European A quote from Brace..
-Magnon is not the same as the Basque or Canary Island samples. Fig. 4 plots the
first and second canonical variates against each other, but that conclusion is
even more strongly supported when canonical variate 3 (not shown here) is plotte
d with variate 1. The probabilities of Cro-Magnons ties to any of the groups in F
igs. Figs.33 and and44 are shown in Table 4. If this analysis shows nothing else
, it demonstrates that the oft-repeated European feeling that the Cro-Magnons ar
e us (47) is more a product of anthropological folklore than the result of the met
ric data available from the skeletal remains. No need for lackadaisical, wit-defici
ent name calling to make my point, Ill just call you wrong. Some modern populatio
ns may have some Cro-Magnon DNA (Neanderthal also), but to say they evolved prim
arily from Cro-Magnon in Europe to become modern Europeans is false from what we
can see so far. Now, Afrocentrism is highlighting the African contribution to his
tory, while Eurocentrism highlights the European contribution to history. I dont
divide the world between these two views, you seem to!!! Yes, theyre both heavily
at work in this debate, and yes, I definitely take an AC perspective here. I do
nt blame whites for slavery though sorry, I blame any individual who sees primal
inferiority or superiority as the proximate determining factors behind the gener
al tracts of human history. There is no scientific evidence for this but there I
S extensive evidence showing Eurasians had a large advantage in domesticable pla
nts and animals compared to Africans and Native Americans, their numbers grew mu
ch faster as a result. It was the Eurasian landscape that lent itself to huge po
pulations and the subsequent onset of civilization, not the humans beings living
there. I dont believe in racial superiority of any kind, but we have all seen yo
u do. Trying to attribute your dazed view of facts to me wont work. Youre just wro
ng in just about every sense. I do agree that the role of Africans in selling Af
ricans is almost never mentioned. Human variation decreases the farther one gets f
rom AFRICA. The rest of the combined world holds less diversity than AFRICA. Afr
ica is the undeniable center of human variation in modern populations, it isnt sp
read out in multiple regions in any significant way other than skin tone. Youre d
efinitely a multi regionalist if you deny African descent in modern peoples.

. Paul Educated White Man January 3, 2014 at 10:04 AM racist site lmao
ooo. Shame on Google for letting this site disgrace our screens.. Sorry to break
it to you but this is the modern consensus: First of all SO WHAT? and Second of a
ll, Ancient Egyptians were a lend of various cultures. Including BLACKS.. HELLO
such is AFRICA my friends. Modern scholars who have studied Ancient Egyptian cultur
e and population history have responded to the controversy over the race of the
Ancient Egyptians in different ways. Since the second half of the 20th century, sc
holars have rejected the notion of race as having any validity in the study of h
uman biology.[3][4] Stuart Tyson Smith writes in the 2001 Oxford Encyclopedia of
Ancient Egypt that Any characterization of race of the ancient Egyptians depends
on modern cultural definitions, not on scientific study. Thus, by modern Americ
an standards it is reasonable to characterize the Egyptians as blacks, while ackno
wledging the scientific evidence for the physical diversity of Africans.[23] Fran
k M. Snowden asserts that Egyptians, Greeks and Romans attached no special stigma
to the colour of the skin and developed no hierarchical notions of race whereby
highest and lowest positions in the social pyramid were based on colour.[24][25]
Additionally, typological and hierarchical models of race have increasingly bee
n rejected by scientists in favour of models of geographical origin. Scholars su
ch as Frank Yurco believe that Modern Egyptians are largely representative of th
e ancient population.[26] It is now largely agreed that Dynastic Egyptians were in
digenous to the Nile area. About 5,000 years ago the Sahara area dried out, and
part of the indigenous Saharan population retreated East towards the Nile Valley
. In addition peoples from the Middle East entered the Nile Valley, bringing wit
h them wheat, barley, sheep, goats and possibly cattle.[27] Dynastic Egyptians r
eferred to their country as The Two Lands. During the Predynastic period (about 48
00 to 4300BC) the Merimde culture flourished in the northern part of Egypt (Lowe
r Egypt).[28] This culture, among others, has links to the Levant in the Middle
East.[29][30] The pottery of the later Buto Maadi culture, best known from the s
ite at Maadi near Cairo, also shows connections to the southern Levant as well.[
31] In the southern part of Egypt (Upper Egypt) the predynastic Badarian culture
was followed by the Naqada culture. These people seem to be more closely relate
d to the Nubians than with northern Egyptians.[32][33] Due to its geographical loc
ation at the crossroads of several major cultural areas, Egypt has experienced a
number of foreign invasions during historical times, including by the Canaanite
s (Hyksos), the Libyans, the Nubians, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Persia
ns, the Macedonian Greeks, the Romans (Byzantium in late antiquity/early Middle
Ages), the Arabs, the Ottoman Turks, the French and the British. At the UNESCO Symp
osium on the Peopling of Ancient Egypt and the Deciphering of the Meroitic Scrip
t in Cairo in 1974, most participants concluded that the Ancient Egyptian populat
ion was indigenous to the Nile Valley and that Ancient Egyptians were much the s
ame as modern Egyptians. The Black Egyptian theory was rejected by 90% of delegate
s,[34][35] but none of the participants voiced support for earlier theories whic
h claimed that Ancient Egyptians were dark skinned whites,[36] and some particip
ants agreed that at least 1/3 of the Ancient Egyptians were black. The arguments
for all sides are recorded in the UNESCO publication General History of Africa,
[34] with the Origin of the Egyptians chapter being written by Diop. In 1996, the In
dianapolis Museum of Art published a collection of essays, which included contri
butions from leading experts in various fields including archaeology, art histor
y, physical anthropology, African studies, Egyptology, Afrocentric studies, ling
uistics, and classical studies. While the contributors differed in some opinions
, the consensus of the authors was that Ancient Egypt was a Northeast African ci
vilization (although ethnic type was not mentioned), based on Egypts geographic l
ocation on the African continent.[37] In 2008, S. O. Y. Keita wrote that There is n
o scientific reason to believe that the primary ancestors of the Egyptian popula
tion emerged and evolved outside of northeast Africa. The basic overall genetic p
rofile of the modern population is consistent with the diversity of ancient popu
lations that would have been indigenous to northeastern Africa and subject to th
e range of evolutionary influences over time, although researchers vary in the d
etails of their explanations of those influences.[38] Recent DNA studies of mummies
of the Ramesses dynasty and the Armana dynasty of the New Kingdom state that th
ese dynasties carried the Haplogroup E1b1a, which is common in modern Sub-Sahara
n African populations.[6][7] However many experts in the DNA field dispute these
conclusions, and claim instead that DNA sequencing from ancient material is unr
eliable and prone to contamination.[8] 3^ Jump up to:a b Statement On Race by Ameri

. Pkr June 10, 2014 at 3:11 PM The biggest white supremacist lie told
on this website by posters is that in the beginning of the dynastic system in Egyp
t the pharaohs were white and the decline came later with blacks. First is the word
dynasty itself. Its basic meaning is: family rule for generations. In the case of
the ancient Egyptians that rule sometimes meant for centuries. All six of the firs
t six dynasty Kings were black, Narmer, Hetebsekhemwy, Sanakht, Senefru, Userkaf, and
Teti, just internet research their images and it plain to see that they werent so-c
alled Caucasians. Research images of five of the most famous Queens in ancient Egy
ptian history, Ahmose-Nefertari, Hatshepsut, Tiye, Nefertiti or Nefertari and you
will find out that they were black. What gives more credence to my point is that the
royal blood of the mother strengthen the male princes elevation to the throne. Kings
often married foreign born women and took them as secondary wives. But, Egypt pri
ncesses didnt take foreign born husbands. In some cases kings married their own dau
ghters if a male heir wasnt available. There are scenes in books of ancient Egyptia
n art and images on the internet(s) of priest, scribes, soldiers, sculptors, sailo
rs, hunters, entertainers, carpenters, religious scenes, servants , those images ar
e of brown skin people(blacks) . There has been a number of posters who gave websi
te which supports what I have said, but there are still those who cannot accept it
. The same thing they say about Afrocentics, is more so the case with them. They,
the white supremacist give lip service about who the ancient Egyptians were are we
rent. This without one picture, that as said, is worth a thousand words. If they do
it is a doctored image from a white supremacist website. After the 31st Dynasty c
ame the Macedonian dynasty 332-305 BCE, The Ptolemaic dynasty (304-30 BCE, the R
oman period (3O BCE -395 CE and Byzantine Egypt 395-642 CE. This was followed by t
he Arab led invasion which started in 639-642 CE. This mean there was nearly a mil
lennium of non-African rule leading to the Arab takeover. Yet, uninformed whites s
ay the decline started with blacks. Is anyone saying that the Greek and Romans were b
lack since as I have said, nearly the last one thousand years was lead by the latte
r and the former before the Arab conquest? What is amazing and shows cognitive disso
nance, is when people say the blacks destroyed the great ancient Egypt, but Europe
ans led the decline of Egypt. Not one cultural thing about ancient Egypt is synony
mous with ancient European culture. Yet we are to believe that the ancient Egyptians
were white, Caucasian, Aryan, European, Arab, Jewish or whatever you want to call
them, except for black.

. Paul Van June 18, 2014 at 7:49 PM Caucasian is a bogus term populari
zed by Fredric Blumenbach it has no scientific relevance, to understand this you
have but to read Blumenbach. Caucasoid like Caucasian completely bogus. **** Blumenba
ch argued that physical characteristics like skin color, cranial profile, etc.,
depended on geography, diet, and mannerism. Like other monogenists such as Georg
es-Louis Leclerc, comte de Buffon, Blumenbach held to the degenerative hypothesis
of racial origins. Blumenbach claimed that Adam and Eve were Caucasian (Georgian
) inhabitants of Asia, (see Asia hypothesis),[4] and that other races came about
by degeneration from environmental factors such as the sun and poor diet. Thus,
he claimed, Negroid pigmentation arose because of the result of the heat of the
tropical sun, while the cold wind caused the tawny colour of the Eskimos, while
the Chinese were fair-skinned compared to the other Asian stocks because they k

. Pkr June 22, 2014 at 10:51 PM White supremacy has put the world in a
conundrum, predicament, quandary or dilemma which ever one suit your fancy. To
enslave Africans the slaveholders had to create a self-fulfilling prophecy, that
Africans were inferior and that this is why Africans were only suitable to be s
laves. There was a big problem; you cant change history because history is someth
ing that has already happened. Millennia prior to this, Africans had already pro
duced the greatest of all ancient Civilizations in ancient Egypt and they did bu
siness with there cousins in Nubia. Try as people may, no one can tear the compl
icated ties between Kush and Egypt. Ancient Egypt was developed out of Kush, but
ancient Egypt wanted to distinguish itself from all other nations. Hear is wher
e the complications began. So many people have said that the ancient Egyptians w
ere the same as modern Egyptians. This is one of the biggest lies ever told. One
individual showed modern Egyptian beauty pageant contestants as a representatio
n of ancient Egyptians. This is like showing an automobile and saying it is a re
presentation of dinosaurs, since cars use fossil fuel, which decomposed dinosaur
s are. If those who say the modern Egyptians are the same as the ancient ones, w
hy havent side by side images been produced? It is very easy to do today. Prior t
o the internet(s), it wasnt as easy. And the cognitive dissonance is very clear.
On one hand some whites say that the ancient Egyptians were white. But, on the o
ther hand, images are put in museums in Europe and the United States. The images
are clearly not of white people, but that doesnt matter. I have put together ima
ges with fifteen kings that had pyramids build. All 15 were images of Africans o
f color with prominent African features. Then I followed this up with those king
s, queens and nobles buried in the Valley of the Kings and Queens. I found out t
hat the most exclusive burial site(cemetery in the world housed black people. The
irony of this is, within the past fifty or so years there were places in the U.S
., where blacks couldnt be buried in the same cemetery as whites because of white s
upremacy. Yet, for millennia the ancient burial sites of Africans of color (blac
ks) were plundered and the mummies (corpses) were robbed of their personal effec
ts. Another irony is that mummies of long gone black people are on display, but, m
any whites despise blacks. Let me take a pre-exempted strike by saying, although m
any of the mummies on display have their head severed from their bodies, the hea
d is all that is needed to tell the race of a mummy. Some of the most known roya
l mummies are from the 18th Dynasty. Two of the famous Thutmose III, and Tutankh
amen are clearly of black men. Im not an anthropologist nor a forensic scientist on
this subject. But, I will take a stab at describing the mummies. Each mummy sha
res these characteristics: Rounded, project glabella (the smooth area between th
e eyebrows just above the nose, sagittal plateau (of or pertaining to the suture
joining the two parietal bones of the skull, rounded forehead(self-explanatory)
, prognathism one with conspicuously projecting jaws, rounded occiput (the back
of the skull) especially the occipital area. What I described above is phenotype
that is more consistent with a person who is described as being an Africoid or
of African descent. To put it another way, people of African descent are disting
uished by steep mandibular plane; sharp, vertical chin; protrusion of the inciso
rs; prognathism, which Ive mentioned, greater lower facial height but with less m
id-facial height; upper mouth is more projecting than lower mouth(higher ANB ang
le). The information I listed above was taken out of a dictionary and off the in
ternet(s) So, if white supremacist who claim ancient Egypt as their own wanted t
o cover up the lies, the mummies could have been destroyed. Finally, getting bac
k to the present day Egyptians looking like the ancient ones. I stumbled upon an
African/American women wigs magazine and matched those images with queens of an
cient Egypt. And I was very shocked that people living today have an uncanny res
emblance to ancient Egyptians queens, whom preceded them by millennia.

Dave Mowers November 21, 2014 at 5:17 AM These are wars fought in the heaven
s displayed on the vases. The characters are all characters that have been place
d in the heavens as constellations or representing celestial phenomena. Stars, and
celestial phenomena like the wars of the Hekatonchires (the Leonid Meteor Showe
r) (100 handed/100 meteors per hour rate) occurred at night in the night-time sk
y which is . . . black. Greeks used metaphor and allegory in their artwork which,
I believe, they also stated. You should try reading some books about the Greeks.
Then you will be able to understand what you are looking at. Youll notice Athena i
s white in color, that is because her name originally was a metaphor for the, daw
n crown, of the morning sun in the east on the horizon. Athena is white like ligh
t. Her name is in fact two root words, one Sumerian and one Phoenician and liter
ally translates into, red-headed serpent, as in all mythology, for each male god,
there is a female counterpart and the two primary gods in any myth represent a c
osmogony of the Earth and Heaven, (serpentine Zodiac with all celestial objects
as parts so-that the, Sun, is at the head of the serpent representing the Dragons f
ire while the clouds and winds are his breath). Serpentine, because over the course
of a year the stars appear to snake up and down and side-to-side like the moveme
nt of a snake. In this piece Zeus is the all-encompassing cosmogonical egg whils
t Athena is the serpent squeezing the egg and Dionysus is the earth itself. The
creatures like Geryon all reside in Hades which is under Mount Tartarus. Mount Tar
tarus is identical to the Hindu cosmogony of the planes of Mt. Meru whereby each
visible piece of the world is part of a stack of planes that make up a mountain
which goes into outer space itself and upwards to the eternal light of heaven.
This, mountain, was known to the Greeks as, Mount Olympos, which means, Place of Po
werful People, when translated into Sumerian and Semitic roots. While, Tartarus, mean
s, Spinning Mountain, representing the night time sky which rotates with all the m
ythological characters as constellations, inside, her. Tart, is Babylonian for, spinn
ing, and Tar,Tor, is Celtic for, Mountain, the, us, is a feminine particle as the nigh
time sky must be female if the day time sky is male as Olympos. Plato states that
the Greeks created myths from the meanings of barbarian words in their language
and in the native original. Read Cratylus.

. Enkidu July 11, 2014 at 7:23 AM Have only been aware of this site fo
r a few months but have noticed that this subject seems to be the one that produ
ces the most vitriol and the extremest passions. Why do you think that is, Mr. L
indsay? What is it about the racial makeup of the Ancient Egyptians that brings
this out of both sides, white and black?
Pkr July 11, 2014 at 11:08 AM The vitriol is caused by the people who know i
f the truth ever got out to the world, white supremacy will be smashed into piec
es. This isnt to say that Africans and Africans in the diaspora dont have problems
, because they do. But, Africans and African Americans cant be separated from the
ir history. There is an African proverb that says: The creator of dance should not
be excluded from it. This is to say, if you have created something, however long
ago you created it, you should not be exclude from it. There is a juxtapose positi
ons, blacks have no history, but blacks have the greatest ancient history, black
s in ancient Egypt enslaved others, albeit nothing like slavery in the Americas,
but blacks were enslaved in Africa and elsewhere, whites were the ancient Egypt
ians, but there are no pictures of white ancient Egyptians before 332 BCE, white
s gives ancient Egypt credit for a great number of things, but as long as the an
cient Egyptian arent portrayed as who they really were, brown skin (blacks) Afric
ans. You see images of ancient Nubians doing trade with ancient Egyptians, but you
dont see whites doing trade with ancient Egyptians. This proves that other black
s had influence on ancient Egypt, and they werent slaves. Images of ancient Afric
ans show the males had no natural facial hair, images of ancient whites have fac
ial hair. Ancient Egyptian images of gods and goddesses are of black people, but
God is white. Many whites say the ancient were white, but when you give them webs
ites to find images of ancient Egyptians, they wont search or wont tell you they s
earched. Mummies are dead proof, but anthropologist and forensic scientist wont say
. Do we think for one second that if the royal mummies from the Valley of the Ki
ngs and Queens were white we wouldnt be told it ad nauseam? Do we think if there
were images of the kings who built the pyramids that were of whites that we woul
dnt see those images. I have the images to prove it? Do we think if the writing o
f the ancient Egyptians were matched to their images and those images were of wh
ites that we wouldnt know it? Remember, images + deeds and accomplishments = who th
e ancient Egyptians were, brown skin (black) Africans.
Enkidu August 11, 2014 at 4:32 AM Hmm, so the fact blacks havent apparently
contributed anything to the world is nothing more than a vast caucasian conspira
cy? The old stolen heritage thing? So, as always, its somebody elses fault? The
damned melanin-lacking assholes. One way to prove the ancients were black would
be to scour their writings to see if they blamed everyone else every time someth
ing didnt go their way. That would convince me. And: How come all these banned peo
ple keep showing up on this site??

. Traci July 11, 2014 at 9:08 AM Lol I love your thought on this, but
I am literally crying from laughter.Let my school you a little bit sweetie.First
off are you forgetting that the Egyptians THEMSELVES, called Their Home Kemet,
meaning The Black Land. (Do your research)And Im sorry to say but just from a COMMO
N SENSE point of view, that so many people lack nowadays (This article being a p
rime example.)Everyone know that the Ancient Egyptians worshipped the sun god Am
un-Ra religiously ..So if all of this that you are saying is true, then why does
the Caucasian race of today need protection from the sun, such as sun screen to
be exact because the sun burns your skin like crazy from the lack of Melatonin?W
here as an African American can stay out in the hot sun for hours without burnin
g.Why worship something as much as they worshipped the sun god if they couldnt e
ven with stand it?I guess thats the real reason your ancestors had to flee to the
Caucasus Mountains in Eroupe , hence thats where you get the word Caucasian(Do y
our research fully before you try to write an article on something you obviously
no nothing about lol)..and thats not even the beginning of it.I just dont have the
time or concern to say anything else but I did get a good laugh.Thanks
Dave Mowers November 21, 2014 at 5:29 AM All ancient Caucasians worshiped th
e sun as god. It written about everywhere but the last thing I read it in recent
ly was the Lost Tales of Miletus. Kemet is mistranslated and assumed to be linked
to Ham Biblically but the entire hypothesis rest on an assumption you can read W
ikipedia on it. It is not a proven theorem nor is the translation of KMT. White Ca
ucasians were in the Caucasus because they were nomadic hunters who followed the
animals in that area which grazed in the south as far as Persia and Sumer and w
intered in the mountains to protect their young and give birth. Caucasians are a
mix of Neolithic hominids, all current research is proving this more and more e
very day, and these species primarily survived from hunting. If you watch the T.
V. show, Wild Russia, you can see the grazing patterns of animals directly corresp
onds to human activity. In Spring-Summer we forage and grow food, the animals foll
ow us, then in Fall-Winter we hunt and the animals run from us.

Dave Mowers August 1, 2014 at 5:24 PM Yeah, so Caucasians came from northern

th your computer created by white people and your language created by white peop

om Sumer and had red-hair and white skin.
Dave Mowers November 21, 2014 at 5:40 AM Europe, in Celtic, Sumerian and Pr
-Indo-European languages translates into, Foot-man, or more succinctly, Nomad. Since, w
hite people, originally came from Asia, created language, writing, building, scie
nce, arts, war and in general civilization one could state that, Asia, is in fact
a subcontinent of Europe. That in ancient times what is considered, Europe, is any
where nomadic Caucasians existed so that includes all of the Middle East, Northe
rn India, Central Asia, Russia, the Arabian peninsula, Turkey, North Africa etc. I
f you translate, Europe, as a directional quantity based on the Gammadion or Flyfo
t and Sumerian-Indo-European you get roughly the, Northern appendage or foot, and
titled as it was on the Nazis version thereby corresponds to this idea. The furt

. Pkr July 12, 2014 at 5:00 PM The ball is being moved,some put the or
igin of the ancient Egyptians in the so-called Middle East. But, for those who s
ay that they believe the Bible, Egypts (Mizriam) brother, Kush, Begot Nimrod; he b
egan to be a mighty one on the earth. Where was Nimrod, in Southwest Asia. Someone
needs to take a class in geography, because there are many names that part of th
e world could be called, but, not the Middle East. Lets look at where it is located
: Asia is where it is located. What part of Asia is it located, Southwest Asia? So
what should we call it, Southwest Asia? What else could it be called, Northeast
Africa, since the people who first arrived were Africans, so it is really just
an extension of Africa? That would be, Africa Extension. The people some want to giv
e credit for ancient Egypt, were brown skin peoples themselves. If you dont belie
ve me, just internets search wall paintings in King Seti I tomb, or go on realwo
rldhistory.com website, and see for yourself. Who had diplomatic relations with
ancient Egypt besides other African nations? That would be the ancient Sumerians
, ancient Mesopotamians, ancient Akkadians, ancient Babylonians .

Robert Lindsay August 1, 2014 at 1:23 PM I guess I must be a racist then.
Dave Mowers August 1, 2014 at 5:12 PM That is a really, really simplistic vi
ew of human evolution but Ill bite. First off, long before the Semitic book of Hebr
ew tall tales was a book from Persia called the Avesta. Magically, this book des
cribes something born out by modern DNA, geological and archeological evidence,
that a mini-Ice Age occurred during the time of homo sapiens or their predecesso
rs and forced them underground. Now, in order for you to lose skin pigment due to
vitamin D and E deficiency you would have to stay out of sunlight for hundreds o
f generations. We know a peoples who hunted at night and lived in caves called th
e Neanderthal. We know that in Cappadocia, where Zoroasters underground city has
been found, there were an ancient peoples who disappeared called the Kurgans. We
know them from the Greeks as the people of Kore, or Koreans. Goryea, Goryeans is
a dialectic mispronunciation of a foreign word that became modern-day Korea/Kor
ean. That is why the Koreans and Japanese share the same mythological concepts a
s ancient Phrygians, Phoenicians, Egyptians and Greeks; because all of these peo
ple descend from the Kurgans. The stories of the Kur can be found in Sumerian and
Hindu. In the Hindu they are described as people who pass through India headed e
ast. We also know that white Caucasian Denisovans lived in Central Asia, interbred
with Neanderthals and Homo-Sapiens in Europe as far back as 400,000 years ago,
were larger than modern humans, were civilized 20-30,000 years ago based on dirt
mound-forts uncovered all over Europe and are said by the Greeks to be sons of
Japheth. Are also claimed to be the fathers of the Greeks and Sacae-Celts from t
he east past the Euxine Sea (Black Sea) so past Ukraine into Southern Russia. Egyp
tians are said to be sons of Shem not Ham. White people existed as white people at
the very least back to the last mini-Ice Age which was 14-18,000 years ago Youn
ger and Older Dryas period which corresponds mythologically to Zoroaster story. In
short, there is no way the story of Adam and Eve is correct as modern-day Cauca
sians are part Neanderthal, part Denisovan and part Homo Sapien whereas modern-d
ay blacks are something else being part Homo Sapien with some Caucasian admixtur
e but none of the DNA from white peoples ascendants. The Out of Africa hypothesis is
bunk and the notion that Caucasians were once black people is yet to be proven a
nd verily looks to be bunk as well. If you have any solid evidence from mytholog
y, history, science or archaeology please post it I would welcome a thorough deb

of their time to north and south indians, who are both dark skinned even by wes

r. Logically, this implies that the ancient greeks, who were far more rational a

egyptians.Looking at the glorious golden mask of King Tut I definitely see clas

s in the southern african fashion.This is a very controversial subject and Im sur

pefully we can clear up a few more questions as to their ethnicity.As a White ma

. michael t August 8, 2014 at 6:24 PM I dont think youre racist Rob I ha
ve the same views as you and dont count myself racist! I just get angry at the id
iocy of these people making claims as fact without proof or saying something is
irrefutable without the science to back it up. Or all evidence proves when there i
s no evidence just the ramblings of blacks that despise whites because of slaver
y! Without slavery and lets not forget it was black Africans that sold other blac
k Africans but without that happening the blacks would still be in their shit an
d straw huts where they have been living for thousands of years. Without western
and far eastern technology all of Africa would still be like this not just part
s. And they believe that the most advanced civilization of its time was run by t
hem hahaha I say to them that they should be grateful that some nice white guy for
ked out to procure their ancestors, otherwise right now it would ebola and gammy
dog on the menu!
Traci August 8, 2014 at 11:08 PM Please help me understand , how taking peop
le out of a land with all the natural resources such as Gold,Oil, Diamonds and o
ther valuable commoditiesincluding the sticks and straws and all that other bullsh
it you said.Bring them here to a society who do know there ass from there elbow.
Whos history is based on invading others lands, settling there then calling it yo
urs and calling yourselves the original people of the land.Christopher Columbus
is a prime example, he discovered America even though there were people here ?Im
agine that I can just walk into someones house and discover it, settle there and
call it my own.What a wonderful place this is that your ancestors brought us toI
can hear the Lion King Theme song playing right now
Gordon Keith August 9, 2014 at 10:53 PM All you try to be recognized as the
intelligence that built the Pyramids fails, was there a mighty nuke type event t
hat erased every microscopic trace of memory that made inventing anything later
possible. Most races of people have managed to invent something, excepting of cou
rse the Negroid people who are desperately struggling to have an identity that m
akes them an equal, As I have said before architecture requires enough knowledge
to make a brick let alone a wheel and the total knowledge of Negroid architectu
re is that they did and still do make nest like habitations that do not in any w
ay resemble buildings or pyramids. The builders of ancient especially round site
s seen all over Southern Africa were most likely made by Eastern Caucasian that
is the people who lived from India to Norway, the Zimbabwe ruins were more likel
y built by the people who came from Lebanon, and yes maybe the Negroid people di
d build but under the supervision of the Lebanese, the Negroid can only achieve
if supervised! _____
Traci August 10, 2014 at 1:50 PM Lol you funny retarded child, learn your da
mn history (not his story he made up or stole to make your race seem more superi
or than you really are.Not once did you state an actual facts just info you gath
ered from your arrogant mind and the History channel on television(tell-lies-to-
your-vision).Where Ken on the other hand has given facts after facts, and proof
but out of pure ignorance(ignoring-the -truth).it is just soooo impossible to be
true.Just look at your race overall physical and mentally(being book smart and h
aving common sense are two diffrent things).Physical omg dont let me get started
on that.Why is it that your skin burn in the sun (which is the life source of th
is planet).As for us because of the melanin in our skin it PROTECTS US(Thanks to
god, not man).also proven fact look at the difference between an old black pers
on and and old white person.Why is that your skin becomes so much pale and frail
Alot quicker than an old black person?I mean with your race being all supreme a
nd everything.And last but not least why is it that even after hundreds of years
of being known as a race that has been beaten so low and is known for not being
worthy of anything ,still to this day is the MOST MANIPULATED AND IMITATED race o
n this PLANET by every other race(just look at your kids of today)I tell you its
so common now if their skin wasnt so pale, I would think they were one of our ow
n.How many people you see trying to imitate your people, beside the ones you see
on the hills have eyes and the fucking wrong turn movies?Inbred fucks which is
the true nature and history of your people.

nor sub saharan africans.
Gordon Keith August 11, 2014 at 9:28 PM Isaih I kind of agree with you but i
s it possible that any of the races present today descend from the ancient ones
like I said before there is no trace of intelligence equal to what they must hav
e had and their engineering abilities!!!! the structures were not for burials an
d mummies that have been found in the south some 400 miles away which might have
been from a more African stock and not necessary the ancient builders of things
we dont yet understand for what purpose.. Maybe the Nuked themselves out, I fee
l that any race today claiming themselves to be descended from these clever ones
is on the wrong track, there might be some relationship to the other pyramids e
tc in the Americas and China and even Stonehenge _____

and others that they founded all the great civilizations of the world. Listen u
p you stupid assholes: you werent even civilized until a 1000 to 1500 years ago.
The greeks and romans considered you barbarians, and it was they (converted to a
middle-eastern religion) that finally civilized you human-sacrificing, cannibal
savages. All of the the ancient civilizations: Egypt, Sumeria, Indus Valley, Chin
a were founded by non-whites, non-europeans while your ancestors were still shiv
ering in caves. Get real bozos.
Dave Mowers August 12, 2014 at 1:48 PM From the Apocrypha here is King Dariu
s holding court over his kingdom, the same Four Quarters that the Caucasian Sargon
originally conquered when he founded Egypt, India, Mesopotamia, Asia Minor and
Egypt. Now Darius also called himself an Aryan as did Sargon; *(From 550-486 B.C. fo
r Darius and 2,800-3,300 B.C. period for his ancestor Sargon both ruling from Pe
rsia and this straight from the Jews and Persians as written history) The First Bo
ok of Esdras: 2:20-3:1; Now King Darius made a great banquet for ALL HIS SUBJECTS
and all his domestics and all the nobles of Medea and Persia and all the VICERO
YS AND PROVINCIAL AND DISTRICT GOVERNORS UNDER HIS SWAY in the HUNDRED AND TWENT
Y-SEVEN PROVINCES FROM INDIA TO ETHIOPIA. King of the Four Quarters means what it mea
nt in circa 3,200-3,300 B.C. when the white Caucasian named Sargon (twisting ser
pent) so aptly named from the observance of his miles-long army snaking over the
lands, whos birth-name is Nimrod and whom the Greeks call a Son of Japheth the pro
genitor of the Greek peoples known to them as ACMON. The ancient Greeks referred t
o themselves as Dans and the Dans had red-hair and blond hair and blue eyes and carr
ied the standard of the Dragon called a Basilisk. What could more a Dragon, who was s
aid to be, King of the Serpents, than a man whos title was SARGON which in Sumero-P
ersian means, Twisted Serpent. IE: Dragon. Deny history, deny archaeology, deny myth
ology, deny the Bible, deny, deny, deny, deny R-E-A-L-I-T-Y.

. Jeremiah August 13, 2014 at 8:13 PM Im sorry Mr. Lindsay, but can yo
u cite your sources? By looking at the replies and comments made on this page, i
t seems like you are having a hard time defending your thesis. Not to pick a fig
ht, but I can easily put a end to all of this chaos and ignorance. If you dont li
ke to truth then continue to lie to yourself and whom ever decides that they sho
uld believe you, but you simply cannot change the past. Especially over the inte
rnet. First to try to destroy the claims of the many historians of the past is a b
ig mistake, for example, Appollodorus called Egypt the country of the black-foot
ed ones. Herodotus wrote that a Greek oracle was known to be from Egypt because
she was black, that the natives of the Nile region are black with heat, and that Egy
ptians were black skinned with woolly hair. Gaston Maspero states that by the almost
unanimous testimony of ancient [Greek] historians, they [ancient Egyptians] belo
nged to the African race, which settled in Ethiopia. SECONDLY, if Egypt was found
ed by Caucasians, then perhaps there would be more artifacts that reference white
s and not browns as you say, because there is no such thing as a black man, Ive never
met one. I have met a lot of brown Africans,they come in all shades, but I do not
recall a black one. The third truth to enlighten you a little more is that acco
rding to University of Pennsylvania, the San people of southern Africa, who have
lived as hunter-gatherers for thousands of years, are likely to be the oldest p
opulation of humans on Earth, according to the biggest and most detailed analysi
s of African DNA. The San, also known as bushmen, are directly descended from th
e original population of early human ancestors who gave rise to all other groups
of Africans and, eventually, to the people who left the continent to populate o
ther parts of the world. So if they were first then they were only. If they were
only then where did Caucasians come from? Im sorry Mr. Lindsay, no matter how h
ard you try to bend the rules, there is just to much evidence that KMT, or Kemet
of course means The Black Land. And ancient Egyptians refer to egypt as KMT, beca
use they are kemetic, hence, they were black. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/scie

Robert Lindsay August 13, 2014 at 8:20 PM Simply looking at the drawings on
their sculptures ought to be enough. The Egyptians look nothing whatsoever like
the Nubians, who are drawn with typical Negroid coloration and features. Furthermo
re, genetic studies reveal that ancient Egyptians were only 13% Black by genes.
They were 87% Caucasoid by genes. Source is Wikipedia. They were not White people
but instead looked more like Arabs. Honestly they were part of a race that is no
longer around anymore. These ancient Caucasoids migrated to Egypt from the Leva
nt ~13,000 YBP. Of course these ancient Caucasoids came from African type people
at one point (not Negroids actually but instead Khoisanid types). And of course
all humans are derived from Khoisanid types leaving Africa 70,000 YBP. So what? W
hats your point? That we are all Black?
Robert Lindsay August 20, 2014 at 2:33 PM All right you lunatic nigga, I am
finally banning your crazy Afrocentrist ass. Modern genetic studies put the Black
% in the Ancient Egyptians at 10-15%. The argument is over. The real fraud is Afro
centrism, possibly the STUPIDEST form of ethnic nationalism known to mankind.
Robert Lindsay August 13, 2014 at 8:22 PM Also Black man, I am banning you.
You cant call me a liar. Shouldnt you be hanging out in front of the liquor store wi

. Grace August 22, 2014 at 1:51 PM That comment about Africans being n
othing but unintelligent entertainers was sooo rascist . . . as a second generat

of before you something so . . . unproven.
Robert Lindsay August 22, 2014 at 9:57 PM Yes I have heard that the Ancient
Egyptian attitudes towards Blacks were that they were great athletes and enterta
iners, but they werent all that smart. As you can see, some things never change.
What proof do you need. We know that the Black group are better entertainers and
athletes than the White group and we also know that the Black group is not as s
mart as the White group. Just as it was in Ancient Egypt.

he racist educational system was build to create an mentality of inferiority upo

te washing of history that prove they were negroid. But for some reason they igno
red due to the propaganda of the main stream media. Truth is truth and a lie is

. Dave Mowers September 14, 2014 at 11:54 PM Here we have fortunately p
reserved to us in the Indian epic the concentrated tradition of the Aryan King M
anasyu as, Pharaoh of Gopta or Egypt all in a nutshell. His genealogy is authentic
ated back to his grandfather Puru II, Puru-Gin of the Isin listsand Buru or Puru
of his Indus Valley seals as the father of Sargon-the-Great. -L.A. Waddell, Makers
of Civilization pg. 233 The place-name Gopta is of great historical importance. It
equates with the Ancient Egyptian Gebt or Gabt name for Koptos and it survives i
n the modern, Copt title for native Egyptians as opposed to immigrant Arabs and it
is clearly cognate with Kopt-os of teh Greeks, the name of the oldest immemoria
l trade-city in Upper Egypt on the Nile L.A. Waddell, Makers of Civilization pg. 23
4 Geb is an Egyptian God of the Earth, the male Gaia, Ge in Celtic and the origin of
the angel Gabriel, the source of Islam. I have asserted numerous times that Gupt,
Gopt, Goptrian are the Sanskrit originals of Egypt and another way of calling t
he place a, Land of Gods which Egyptians referred to when speaking of their place
of origin in the East in a place called, Punt translated to, Land of the Gods. Theres a

. Dave Mowers September 26, 2014 at 9:11 AM Not to drone on about it b
ut I found references to the practices of ancient Egyptians in coating their bod
ies in oil. They apparently used these same oils for suntan lotion. I had made t
his claim earlier from other sources. E.A. Wallis Budge, Egyptian Magic pages 187-19
1 The Ritual of Embalmment Egyptians when mummifying the dead coated the entire body
in melanin-containing oil. They re-coated it once bandaged, covered the bandage
s in resin and coated again so basically melanin-containing oil was on everythin
g. They started by dipping the whole body in it but if every part of the process
involved these oils then evidence that ancient Egyptians were black due to mela
nin in the skin is entirely fallacy. The melanin content is there because of the
oils used on the bodies. This ends the last argument made by Diop and his argumen
ts are essentially the entire proof used by African America revisionists to clai
m Egyptians were black. The only claim they have left is appearance or racial ph
enotype which is easily explained on some Pharaohs as racial inter-mixing with t
ribal daughters from Magan. The next argument is clothing and hair coloring stil
l in use by African blacks but again Egyptians ruled these people for thousands
of years so the use of Egyptian techniques and clothing simply mean they adopted
the practice from their rulers. That leaves no proof whatsoever that ancient Egyp
tians were black people even though it should be obvious since even today Africa
ns are not creating civilization in their own countries.

. Dave Mowers October 2, 2014 at 7:15 PM From about 3,000 to 2,300 B.C.
their tools were restricted to axe-heads and daggers, which were made of heavy
metal. With the arrival of torque wearers sometime in the twenty first century B
.C. several new types made their appearance including the socketed spear head, t
he socketed battle-axe, the torque. the biconical beads and toggle pin. -Dimitri
Baramki, Phoenicia and the Phoenicians circa 1961 It should be noted that the battle
-axe and torque necklace are distinctly Celtic products so ask yourself, Why are
Celts joining African-Americans in Egypt and teaching them better ways to manufa
cture weapons? A: Because ancient Egyptians were Caucasians not African-Blacks! Phoeni
cia included all the city-states around the Mediterranean Sea and that includes E
gypts. They were not from Africa.
.
. Wes Miller October 11, 2014 at 11:02 PM Clearly you and the other ra
cists have been thoroughly refuted, but will post some basic facts to debunk you
r whole program. 1) You and the other white supremacist types are in fact delusion
al & racist, your comments clearly show that. 2) Your beliefs are based on scienti
fic racism, a phenomenon created during the worlds most racist time period and ar
ound the same time Kemet started to appear on the worlds radar. Im sure all those
white scientists explorers etc were astonished when they discovered this amazing
civilization founded and created by dark skin indigenous Africans. So they imme
diately began to backward engineer a non black, non African civilization. That w
as a huge mistake because all of Which has been completed debunked! So much so,
that even if you go to the Egyptian exhibition at the Museum of Natural History
in New York, a plaque clearly states the people of Egypt Unquestionably came from
the South Surely they know a lot more than you do Robert. For example: a) Instead of
calling black them with various shades of black and brown, they called them dar
k redmany of those depictions are darker than I am and so far no one has mistaken
me for an non African American, go figure! b)language culture etc came from outsi
de of Africa. debunked. c)Then it was ok language, culture etc was heavily influen
ced from the outside. that was debunked too. d) Dont take my word for it look up th
e works by Dr. SOY Keita, more over there are videos of him lecturing on the sub
ject on youtube. 3)Race and the term Caucasian are misnomers, myths constructed by w
hite European scientists who put themselves at the top of a hierarchy because th
ey just happen to be running the world at the time. Look up Meiners and Blumenba
ch who invented the term Caucasian. Blumenbach, thought man was born in the Caucus
mountains and the first humans. Wrong! 4)Out of Africa is the leading theory beca
use of a substantial amount of evidence, so it is a accepted fact man was born i
n Africa. 5)There is so much DNA evidence it is ridiculous: a) If you look up ancien
t human migrations/human DNA trees they show not only that man was born in sub S
aharan Africa near the great lakes, but that he migrated and populated the plane
t but also show his routes leading right into where Egypt is today. b) Check the dat
es, of dna mutations, how Europe was the last place on the planet to be populate
d etc. c) Why is this important? Everybody on the planet who is non African can be
traced back to Africa, including and especially you Robert! In fact, the sub Sa
haran east Africans you and all Europeans come from are sometimes referred to Eu
rasian Adam & Eve, because these Africans gave birth to you and that is the only
reason they are called Eurasian Adam & Eve, and not because they have Eurasian
origins. So dont get it twisted you come from the very people you call nigga. d) Th
is should have been a) or mentioned even earlier and stated more clearly, race i
s a myth, created by Europeans to create a racial hierarchy. There is only one r
ace human and our roots are in black sub Saharan African near the great lakes. 6) Wh
y were on the topic lets put the back migrations of an ancient causasian race to
bed, by definition if you are Caucasian, you cannot also be an indigenous Africa
n, get it, got it good! Ill start at the beginningLook up the works of scientist,
Nina Jablonski a specialist on human skin. According to her research: when man was
born near the great lakes he had very dark skin and it was very necessary to pr
otect him from the suns uv rays, as the region was very close to the sun. There ma
y be still available a 17 minute video of lecturing on the internet, Google it,
in it she states the dark skin of Homo Genus man goes back to over a million year
s. So well before we even had modern homosapien man, man had dark skin. 60kya when
sub Saharan east Africans started leaving Africa they had dark skin and when the
se Africans started migrating back they still had dark skin and looked like othe
r sub Saharan Africans. Here is the rub: - In the last few years scientist have the d
iscovered the gene for white skin, estimated it to be 6-12kya depending on who y
ou read google it. This means before then, the world was only populated by dark
skinned people. - Furthermore It is estimated this gene for white skin entered Afri
ca only 3kya ago. This covers the time period when Africa was invaded by Greeks,
Romans and Asians and we know the history of all these invasions pushing the da
rker populations further south. - Another point should be made here, All of the wor
lds diversity came from Africa and any traits so called Caucasians have, they in
herited them from sub Saharan Africans. Again, numerous racist scientists studie
d Ethiopians/Somalians/Eriterians/Kenyans etc to prove they looked they way they
do is based on Caucasian or European admixture. Again, this has been debunked,
remember Eurasian Adam/Eve, according to Sarah Tishkoff, ALL non Africans are a
sub set of sub Saharan east Africans, east Africans are a sub set of other Afric
ans and DNA confirms. If you critically, read any study that says otherwise, its
because as someone has pointed out earlier, those studies are intentionally ske
wed. Again you cannot refute basic accepted facts: 1) Only one race human. Let me debu
nk any basic counter arguments such as the one my wife chemical engineer wife wh
o works for big pharma once gave me. They make certain drugs based on race. Truehow
ever, it has more to do with what region of the world you evolved, diet etc. not
your race. Case in point, ancient Egyptians had sickle cell anemia and so do ma
ny African americans and this is a marker for blacks (this is one connection for
African americans to Egyptians). Stay with me, These people dont have sickle cel
l anemia because they are black, they have it because people lived/evolved in a
region of Africa stricken with malaria and developed sickle to protect them from
malaria, period. 2) Sub Saharan Africans migrated right into where Egypt is today
and the rest of the world. Look up any map of human migrations and dna tree sup
erimposed on a world map. This is confirmed by the works of Spencer Wells, SOY Keita
, Sarah Tishkoff and Nina Jablonski

y have even used them as labour,if they could make them work!!! But what did the
y learn from it ? well comparing anatomy how could they have been the ones to sh
ow the rest of humanity anything if the negroids were the ones that showed us ev
erything, and with their definate primitiveness please someone tell me where its
gone because it appears in this day they have lost everything and can only surf
the wave that more civilized races have developed even to wearing clothes. mere
ly stating facts so all the insults they care to throw my way only proves that t
ruth hurts, they get very touchy, well like others have said I like the more imp
ortant request of who were the ancient people living in Egypt and I find sensibl
e writers have given me a lot of food for thought. Robert I would like to know t
he origins of the pyramids and were these builders the original Egyptians or wer
e there others before them.I dont believe this cradle of mankind thing thats goi
ng in South Africa led to the other races growing out of Africa for if that was
true why did their developement stay behind. Todays most civilized and sophistic
ated race whatever they are would find building the ancient structures difficult

. bodhidharma October 12, 2014 at 8:11 AM The ancient Egyptians (1900
BC 1000 BC) were Aryans of Indian origins, related to Buddhism, decendents of Ku
sha, an Indian prince. Not only Egypt but Sudan and Ethiopia were also ruled by
them. The etymologies of all Egytian pharaohs have sophisticated Sanskrit/Pali n
ames (e.g. mrne ptah Father of death). They were the same race as Babylonians, Scy
thians and amorites. The Ethiopians kings were also Indian origin (mentioned by
Herodotus) with Indian names including the king nasta-sen (Mr Destroyer) who met
Cyrus.
Dave Mowers October 17, 2014 at 9:22 PM THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Its
ebating with five year olds here over this subject. The sheer amount of written
and archaeological evidence that Egyptians were Caucasian is just overwhelming.
The fact is, ancient kings took many wives and sometimes those women were from d
ifferent races and thanks to sibling rivalry sometimes the first born didnt too l
ong so it is possible that some Pharaohs could look like Africans but Africans d
id not found Egypt! For crying out loud the word Egypt is from India. It translate
s from the Sumerian philologically into Agade (Akkad) which was Nimrods capital e
xcept he never lived their, he lived in Babylon! When you translate Agade in Sum
erian root words it literally means, Crowned Lord, or Crown Creator, synonymous with
, Coronation, so that Egypt was the, Place of Coronation, where the King of the Four
Quarters was crowned and what better place than in the West at the end of the k
nown world? The place where the King of Earth retired each evening; the Sun. So he
is crowned in the West and Rises in the East. He rules from the East but Dies i
n the West. That is why there are graves surrounding the Great Pyramid; it was a H
oly Church.
Inventor October 18, 2014 at 4:49 AM Scythians also moved all the way up to
Scandinavia ( originally named Scythia). the Southern part of Sweden is still ca
lled Scania ( also after Scythia). they probably settled in the South areas and
along the coast. The Romans still called this part of Sweden Scythia and they call
ed the people on the west coast Picts for their famous tatoos, also nown amongst
the Scythians. All the Nordic goods where called Asa gudarna meaning the Asiatic
goods. The Vikings where still travelling down to the black sea on regular basis
, evidensed by archealogical finds, nordic tales and also Ibn Fadlans writings.
Probably the so called Aryan invasion Went in the opposite direction, they spread
to the North rather than coming from the north. The north was then populated sin
ce a long time allready by the Finnish and the Same peoples, excluding the troll
s.
Inventor October 18, 2014 at 5:01 AM More on this topic, is that the Finnish
called the arriving people ( Scythians) Ruotsi meaning Whites and they still call S
weden and Swedes Ruotsi. Ruotsi is also the original name for Russia or Ryssland in S
wedish, as the founders of the actual country started with tribal leaders from S
weden establishing themselfes firstly in the area of Kiev, and then expanding ou
t from this area.
Dave Mowers October 18, 2014 at 3:31 PM Yes, and before the Romans and for s
ometime afterward, Picts, were a Celtic tribe in Northern France. They are mentioned
by name. According to Paul Pezron, at one point in world history the worlds lead
ing Celtic language expert, the Scythians are part of a bi-directional move into
Europe and Mesopotamia by an earlier Celtic tribe; the Sacae. Sacae renamed thems
elves Getae. Sacae invented chess and the signature move of, sacking, the King is na
med after a battlefield tactic attributed to them using their very name! Scythians
are a later move that according to Justin in Trogus, as well as other Greek aut
hors, went south all the way to Egypt. Vikings, Scandinavians, came from Phrygia,
today known as Turkey and Armenia at the area around Lake Van. Named after their
creator-god, Phanes/Van, the father of the Vanir.

hitened by White society. Greco Rome invaded and stolen the ways of Ancient Egyp
t, and will still today embraced a stolen legacy and claim it as their own. What
can you expect from a people with virtually no history or culture but to lie an
d steal. This is a serious mental problem as well. To know the truth but to perp
etuate a system based on falsehood. The truth is written IN THE STONE!
Dave Mowers October 17, 2014 at 9:42 PM According to the Bible, Midian was t
he later name for the Land of Mitzraim, the founder of Egypt. Mitzraim was said
by the Greeks to have been a . . . Phoenician. Mitzraim means, Places surrounding t
he water, IE: Phoenician City-States and Phoenicians were Caucasians. Phoenicians
came from Lagash in Sumer. Phoenicians established trade with India via ship rout
es and one of those cities in India has a stone circle formation (Kerala) identi
cal to the one found in Southern England. India also has the oldest recognized J
ewish colony on earth which came from . . . Sumer.

used to know about human evolution and migration has just been changed once aga
in! And it turns out Neanderthals definitely mixed with homo sapiens in RUSSIA, cre
ating a totally new race of humans who all Europeans are descended from. Gee, wh
ere have I heard this before? Oh yeah, thats right, the ancient Greeks, Persians,
Hindus and Egyptians all made this same claim.hmmshould we believe people who live
d through it or should we continue to make up fantastical tales of politically-c
orrect philosophical probabilities of what might have been based on our personal
opinions? Now guess what? This happened prior to the alleged, black-homo sapiens lea
ving Africa, hypothesis once again calling into to question the logic that all Ca
ucasian peoples were once black Africans. How many different ways, other than th
e actual written histories AND mythologies will people need to throw the, Out of
Africa, hypothesis in the garbage can? this inter-species fling occurred somewhere ar
ound 50,000 to 60,000 years ago, but Willerslevs team was able to narrow that fig
ure down even further, to 54,000 years ago. http://motherboard.vice.com/read/human-
neanderthal-lovemaking-was-short-lived?trk_source=popular When a race of people, o
ver many thousands of years, believes that one cannot go to heaven unless their
body is burned, practices this rite for such a long period of time so-that, the
majority of skeletons are not found on the continent in which these peoples live
; why must we continue to ignore this as the reason why more skeletons have been
found in Africa? Here we have evidence that Caucasian people lived through an Ice
Age! As if that isnt tantalizing enough for one paper, Willerslevs team also discove
red that our earliest European ancestors basically lived through a Game of Thron
es world of constant winter. They were subjected to the freezing cold temperatur
es of the Last Glacial Maximum as a sprawling meta-population of three major linea

to be mapped.

. Geraad November 19, 2014 at 2:22 PM Ancient Egyptians werent Negroid
like the West Africans but infact are related to the ancient Hamitic/Cushitic ra
ce in the Horn of Africa. The ancient Egyptians refered to the area, now encompa
ssing Eritrea, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Somalia, as the land of Gods (Punt). In ot
her words, their origin. Mankind was born in southern Ethiopia and Somalia where
the first people there were of Hamitic/Cushitic origin. Caucasians have gotten
their distinct facial features from this race, which now encompass only the Soma
li, Amhara, Tigray, Beja, Tigre, Oromo, Afar, Berber and formerly the ancient Eg
yptians. The ancient Egyptians looked exactly like these people, Somalis, Ethiop
ians and Eritreans. If you look at Somali traditional clothing and accessories y
ou will see the resembles with the white clothes worn as a skirt and the shawl. Ev
en the language still resembles even though Somali is heavily influenced by Arab
ic and to a lesser extent English and Italian. So the ancient Egyptians were Hamit
ic/Cushitic not Negroid nor Caucasian and todays Egyptians are a product of mixed
people. The original Hamitic/Cushitic people in Egypt are mixed with invaders l
ike Greek and Arab people and that is where they get their looks, they are a lit
tle darker compared to Arabs in Saudi Arabia for example. But if you look at Yem
en, which was also inhabited by the same genetically related people, which also
have been invaded by Arabs, you can see how they resemble Egyptians as well.
.
. Dave Mowers November 21, 2014 at 5:59 AM I would like to comment on
the theory being thrown around that colored peoples living in these areas, Middl
e East and Egypt, and the low numbers of Caucasians today, represents a true pic
ture of the population of those regions 2,3,4,5,000 years ago. In reading about th
e Greek Wars ones comes to interesting numbers of kill ratios for Caucasian figh
ters in these places. Under Alexander the majority of people killed, the bulk of
war-fighters in all the regions, were in fact Caucasians and since they resiste
d their own kind the Macedons had an interest in making examples of them so no q
uarter was given to whites who fought against the Greeks; none. Alexanders men kill
ed at an average rate of 12 people per second. At Issus alone (modern-day Syria)
they slaughtered 170,000 in a day. That is the kind of warfare the Celtae peopl
es engaged in. There have never been a more bloody killing race than Caucasians.
Caucasians are the reason why colored peoples rule the Middle East and Egypt to
day. Just try to imagine what 720 people per minute being slashed and speared to d
eath would do to a population.

that number again, one million, then think about how many Caucasians have to be
living in Egypt for how many years to accumulate such a vast number of Caucasia
n mummies?
Paul Vann February 19, 2015 at 9:50 AM It is thought that the mummies were b
uried around 1,500 years ago, between the 1st and 7th Century AD, when Egypt was
controlled by the Roman and Byzantine Empire. Unlike many famous mummified remain
s discovered in Egypt, these were found in mass graves and appear to be ordinary
citizens rather than royalty or other important figures. http://www.dailymail.co.

wered, as well as to the origin of these people, they were not Egyptians.
pkr March 4, 2015 at 11:13 PM One million mummies in one cemetery seems like
a mass graves site to me and royal Egyptians werent buried in mass graves. There a
re about 63 tombs in the Valley of the Kings and Queens, which is the most exclusive
burial site in the world. These mummies didnt have blonde or red hair unless it
was dyed, turned colors because of the mummification process or changed over the
millennia. I guarantee it didnt take the 70 days plus for the so-called million mu
mmies that you are talking about took as it did for the kings and Queens.
.
. thesitrep December 21, 2014 at 5:13 PM I think there has been DNA st
udies that show Egyptians were of a similar haplotype as people that populated t
he Iberian peninsula. It would seem odd that Egyptians were Congioid because no bl
ack culture evented numbering or writing systems. But if Afrocentrist do want to c
laim ancient Egypt as black then they will have to own the slavery of the Jews t
hing too. Ha, maybe then theyd STFU about reparations.
Gordo December 21, 2014 at 10:02 PM Why dont the negroids show us something
intelligent that they invented and then proving and comparing its use in making
anything the ancient Egyptians did, instead of throwing up their pathetic argume
nts, The rest of the world races have amongst all types of inventions earth movi
ng equip. which we are told is not quite enough yet is one step nearer, but negr
oids cry foul at everything any other race does because they have yet to prove t
hemselves and they have to be treated with kid gloves all the time in order not
to embarress them for their still primitiveness , In South Africa there is an ex
cuse for a president who at the drop of a hat leaps back into his skins and does
his ape like mating dance at functions, a display of primitive thats hard to be
at and its not re-enactments which other races have at fun and historical events
, its for current now. Intelligent articles by students of the subject about who t
he ancient Egyptians were is worth reading but the comments by some who claim It
s Us Dark Fellas Just is their pathetic endeavours of claim to fame.
pkr March 4, 2015 at 10:04 PM Anyone who uses the word negroids is opening
his mind for the world to see inside. The root of negroid is negro, negro is Spanish
for black. People are classified by their geographical region not skin color. We
dont call the Chinese people Amarilloids(yellow people).
pkr March 4, 2015 at 10:41 PM There is absolutely no proof that Jews were sl
aves in ancient Egypt, the tales of the Exodus in the Bible notwithstanding. That on
e exodus that was written about when it happened was the Hyksos exodus. What was c
alled slavery in ancient Egypt was not the same thing as slavery in North America.
There are no credible DNA studies that the ancient Egyptians were from Spanish, Por
tuguese or from any other parts of the Iberian Peninsula. Which was connected to Afr
ica before it broke from Africa. The Ethiopians wrote hieroglyphics, which were a
writing system, the builders of the pyramids used numbers in building them and they
were black. Just Bing or Google for images of Kings Huni, Khufu, or Sahure and you w
ill see for yourself. who the ancient Egyptians were and werent.
.
. Dave Mowers December 23, 2014 at 11:09 AM I have maintained that anc
ient Egyptians came from, Punt, which is what they claimed and that Punt is, in the
east, as they also claimed. I stated that it is my belief that this, Punt, is the e
astern corner of the ancient dominion spoken of by Greeks, Persians, and Jews in
the Bible, known as, The Four Quarters, which is to say the four cardinal directi
ons from center whereby the original kingdom that controlled Egypt existed in Su
mer. Egypts desert was known as, Martu, which means, West, in Sumerian and it was descr
ibed as a, Sea of Sand, created when Phaeton, the sun-god, crashed his chariot int
o the earth. Now the root, Phae, comes from Sanskrit and means alternately, master,
lord, shining, and combined with the Celtic root, Ton, doubles the meaning of, Lord
, making him the, Shining Lord of Lords, IE: The Sun. Plato explains that Greeks formed
whole mythologies from the translations and meanings of words between cultures
and this is why you can break words that contain different language roots down t
o divine the origin of their storys content. To my original point; Pharaohs People, T.
G.H. James University of Chicago Press 1984 From the Nubian Tomb of Harkhuf who wa
s tasked by the Pharaohs with raiding the southern lands, lands mind you, filled
with Black Africans, who were tribal groups that were plundered by the Egyptians
. This is a quote. Pg. 29; You said in your dispatch that you have brought a dwarf,
like the dwarf brought by the Gods Treasurer, Bauwerdjed from Punt in the time o
f Isesi.My majesty longs to see this dwarf more than the spoils of the MINING COU
NTRY and of PUNT. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Djedkare_Isesi Djedkare is known to sen
t expeditions to Byblos and Punt. The expedition to Punt is referred to in the l
etter from Pepi II to Harkuf some 100 years later. Harkuf had reported that he w
ould bring back a dwarf of the gods dancers from the land of the horizon dwellers. LAND

the easternmost extreme to his empire; India aka: Punt.

Egypt controlled all of these lands proving that the, Four Quarters, was an empir

.
. dango January 4, 2015 at 3:05 AM In African tradition, If you dont kn
ow something Dont guess it. Leave it alone. You were right in The first part. The
n totally wrong on the second. The light skinned north Africans, I.e. Berbers an
d the rest, Excluding Arabs, came from the moors. You must also know that at tha
t time there wasnt any desert. No state Borders. It was just one giant continent
ruled By very, very powerful African kings only next to God. Another thing, anci
ent Egyptians also came from West Africa, i. e. Nigeria, Ghana, and Mali, and so
uthern Africa from Zimbabwe, south Africa, and East Africa. Why. A lot of trs ve
lling anf trade. Even to this day theres similarity in language And meaning betwe
en Nigerias Yoruba, Malis Dogon, and east African Swahili, as well as the Matabell
eland in Zimbabwe. Thats why only AFRICANS SHOULD INTERPRET AFRICAN HISTORY BECAU
SE WE STILL SHARE That Close tradition till this day.
Gordo January 4, 2015 at 8:36 AM Dango you really must study a bit more. Mat
abeleland is in the South west part of Zimbabwe, the Language spoken by the Mata
bele people is mainly derived from Zulu its known as an Ndebele language nothing
like an Arabic or Egyptian language not even like the Swahili spoken in Kenya a
nd if you want to know how come go learn about Chaka and his merry band of broth
ers from Zululand in the Natal province of South Africa, it just so happened tha
t one of his clan stole cattle, mated with some of his umfazis and Ntombis his nam
e Mzilikazi and he had to hightail it away because he was what is known as a ske
llum, in doing this him and his merry band of skellums rampaged across Eastern S
outh Africa, conquering other tribes of Sothos , Swazis and various other clans a
nd just like most primates and other wild animals the alpha males get taken out
by the new conquering one and the rest of the tribe, women and children of the n
ow deceased just fall in line joining with the new Alpha model and follow on, He
is now the Man!!!. They eventually settled in the area known as Bulawayo (Place
of Slaughter) Mzilikazi s son was Lobengulu who did the thing with J.C.Rhodes, rem
ember him? they named the country after him , Rhodesia. All this is documented a
s it took place in the time of settlers. explorers etc who could read and write
and even built the country up for the indegenous ones to take apart, in fact the
Africans are today even acting on the greatness of Chaka, (Like the do for Mande
la) all pumped up out of reality info that they only had from the people who doc
umented it, little do they realise that he was quite savage even killing more th
an a thousand of his own people just because his mother had died of old age, you
see these Africans had no way of keeping records , they did not even paint pict
ures like the Khoi. As for Zimbabwe where Mugabi comes from thats from a different
set again , they are the Mashonas , there might be a connection with them and th
e Venda people who might have come into contact with people from Lebanon, who it
is speculated might have made the Zimbabwe And other ruins that are all over So
uthern Africa even to the terraces on the Eastern part that borders Mozambique h
ave something in common with those in Lebanon , note these were Arab people who
may of at some time been in Egypt, but the ruins left by them are nothing like t
he ones in Egypt. No doubt you will call me a racialist etc, go ahead feel free bu
t you will have to study more to be able to lead up to Negroid people being the
original developed civilization of Egypt, Truth is we dont know and for me to cl
aim Caucasion or Spanish, whatever would be not so bright as not enough evidence
suggests who , most of the Dark guys are saying its them and the white guys the
m but we all need to do more research to know the truth and not wish it our own
way.

Swedophobic Finns January 9, 2015 at 4:32 AM Somalia received a lot of artef
acts over time from the EGYPT. Later ARABS gave them a whole lot of stuff includin
g their ideology. Later still the Italians and the British conquered them and brou
ght Europen artefacts. In the future some bright Somali will claim all the Europea
n artefacts show that Somalis helped to civilise Europe and that is why Somalis
just flee as refugees to reclaim their heritage in Europe. Somalia is the worlds
most failed state so I guess it needs tall stories? Actually what it needs is a
functioning country but until then tall stories will do. All artefacts can be tra
ced. The history of Egypt is one of the most studied of all histories. IT shows
Caucasian people often with blue eyes who ruled this land. The evidence from ske
letal remains show a Caucasian people. Hence now we do not even need artefacts a
nd tall stories from Somalia. We can look at the genetic evidence and that concl
usively proves the case that Egypt was at its peak one hundred percent Caucasian
with black slaves. A mummy has been found with red hair remnants! THE Genetic pro
of is conclusive.
pepperroncini February 19, 2015 at 7:46 AM There is no proof any of the mumm
ies had blue eyes and red hair can be ascribed to breakdown of the different col
ored pigments in hair .
pkr March 4, 2015 at 9:40 PM There is a chart that shows eye color by geogra
phic locations. According to Wikipedia, the highest percentage of blue eyes are
in the United Kingdom, with the Scottish leading the way at 57%. In Africa, Algeri
ans leads with 2.6% and there is one other country at 2%, Morocco. The rest of the c
ountries in Africa are 1.2% or below. This is the current populations, and I dont t
hink these numbers were much different in ancient times.

Egypt is and always has been on the continent of Africa. References to this coun
try as a part of the Middle East, Near East, Mediterranean or even the Fertile C
rescent, to the exclusion of its location in Africa, is a blatant, racist distor
tion. The color black cannot be defined as white. The only reasonable definition o
f the Black race is the following provided by Diop: There are two variants of the
black race: (a) straight-haired, represented in Asia by the Dravidians and in A
frica by the Nubians and the Tubbou or Tedda, all three with jet- black skins; (
b) the kinky-haired blacks of the Equatorial regions.5

r are not enough to stamp a race as negro. . .6 They then proceed to transfer som
e of the blackest people in the world to the white race, if the blacks in questi
on are the progenitors of an advanced civilization. If black skin is insufficien
t to qualify one for inclusion in the black race, then, what on earth is!? The bri

. evenwhenilie January 11, 2015 at 4:15 AM We would like to inform our
readers that a remarkable discovery has taken place in the Queens Chamber of the G
reat Pyramid! According to a report published on the Internet on December 1, 199
6, by Robert Hancock, British author of the best selling books, The Sign and the
Seal and Fingerprints of the Gods, the Gantenbrink experiment1 was conducted in the
Great Pyramid on October 20, 1996. This project entailed an exploration of the
narrow passage leading up from the southern shaft of the Queens Chamber in the Grea
t Pyramid. For several years, Egyptologists have known that a door exists at the
upper end of the Queens Chamber, but until October 20, no one had penetrated it. H
ere, then, are the words of Hancock regarding the events of that date: At the end o
f the ascending passage, 8 inches square, leading from inside the Great Pyramids Q
ueens Chamber is a small door with two metal handles. On October 20, 1996, Dr. El Bas
and two assistants sent a fiber optic camera lens through a flaw in this door. W
hat was allegedly found was a 2 meter by 1.5 meter chamber inside of which was a
statue. The statue seemed to be in the image of a black male, holding an ankh i
n one hand. On the opposing wall of this chamber was a round shaped passage lead
ing out.2

. Dave Mowers January 24, 2015 at 9:57 PM King of, The Four Quarters, is
the key to discovering who the original Egyptians wereit is a statement found in
Persian, Hindu, Egyptian and Greek and I think I may have discerned one way, if
you believe the Jews, of determining what these, four quarters, are? Isaiah 19:19;
In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egyp
t and a pillar at the border thereof The, altar, is the Great Pyramid, the seat of the
Lord, his Merkabahand the, pillar, must be something that can/could survive into a
ll ages and stand to mark the borders of Agade/Akkad. The center of the circle is
Persepolis. And that tells you everything you need to know.
pkr March 4, 2015 at 9:00 PM The four corners of the world are North America
, South America, Southeast Asia and Australia. Northeast Asia was tundra and all
people arrived there later. Africa is the center of the world. All people who m
oved to the four corners came from Africa. So, the question is how is that Caucasi
ans moved to the four corners and Africa, yet, the first people in the Americas
had brown skin that could be called black, the first people in Southeast Asia had
dark skin, and the same for the people in Australia. In the Western Hemisphere,
not counting Antarctica which is in more than hemisphere, the farther one goes s
outh the greater the population. The same can be said in South Asia.

. Historia Nerd February 19, 2015 at 5:38 AM I feel like believing the
whole Sumerian, Tamil and Egyptian narrative are one in the same. Because, all
of them were dark Caucasoid or Dravidian looking people. Then, Aryans came and i
nvaded each of these lands. Finally all of them broke down, as more invaders got
absorbed into the gene pool. In Egypt, there are people who have a significant
amount of Negroid blood. In India, Australoid blood and Iraq Semitic blood.When
a great civilization lets inferiors into it, it is bound for failure. The Elamit
e people were great and wise people. The Aryans were great and wise people as we

NS, who represent the most recent human linage & the most GENETICALLY RECESSIVE,
MELANIN DEPLETED, GENETICALLY LIMITED & LEAST GENETICALLY ADAPTABLE OF ALLHUMANS
, can easily produce permanently dark/brown skin. Yet, at the same time have no
problem whatsoever believing humans with DARK/BROWN SKIN cant be considered BLACK
or NEGROID, despite representing the oldest human linage & being the most GENETI
CALLY DOMINANT, MELANIN ENRICHED, GENETICALLY VERSATILE & ADAPTABLE OF ALL HUMANS
,if they live in certain areas WHITES/CAUCASOIDS/CAUCASIANS want to claim(includi
ngAfrica, theirplace of origin). How can anyone BE SO DOWNRIGHT IGNORANT,DESPERATE,
DELUSIONAL & STUCK ON STUPID that they would believe & or claimtheir Ancestors w
ere INDIGENOUS to the warm/hot&/or desert climates ofNorth Africa, India, Persia,
Sumeria, Mesopotamia etc, & still manage tobecomethe most GENETICALLY RECESSIVE, M
ELANIN DEPLETED, & mostCOLD WEATHER ADAPTED of all humans? And these EUROCENTRIC
MINDED MORONS actually have the audacity to question the intelligence of anyone
who poses these LOGICAL COMMON SENSE QUESTIONS &/or FACTS,or believes otherwise.
And these clowns actually believe it takes a big brain & superior intelligence t
o come up with their BS claims & beliefs.

. Dave Mowers March 1, 2015 at 12:05 PM I am getting closer to resolvi
ng the, Agade, Akkade, Akkad, is Egypt issue. Akkadian cuneiform was the state wri
ting system at one point showing that it is possible for their to be two languag
es used at the same time in a period for a culture, so that, in Egypt, you would
have the foreign rulers state script along with the local dialogue but also ther
e was always a distinct religious language and writing exclusively for the pries
thood as well. I contend that each city-state had its own language but that everyon
e used cuneiform was the official empiric or trade script which as trade became
the basis of each families lifestyle replacing agriculture it would eventually b
ecome the official language, one built, no doubt, on many languages containing ma
ny synonyms from each language; the root of synonymic. As regions periodically spl
it apart from the empire they would over time develop their own distinct languag
e once again only to have that assimilated by later conquering rulers. This resolv
es the issue of what race the ancient Egyptians are if you think of Egypt as a S
umerian colony that periodically, due to wars and civil strife, breaks away and
becomes a separate kingdom which is exactly what history shows happened over and
over again to Sumerian cities until eventually in the Middle Kingdom, Egypt tak
es over Mesopotamia. Now, it appears that Sargon had two identical twin sons; Rimu
sh and Manistusu. Rimush ruled in the East and Manis in the West both from state
capitals of the, Kingdom of the Four Quarters. Kishi is in Iran or perhaps the Ha
rrapan State and Egypt would be Manis throne aka; Menes. Egypt is therefore Agade
. Menes, Manis, killed his brother, Rimush and took control of his eastern kingd
om, You can explain the later cuneiform descriptions of Sumerian kings as being po
ssibly adulterated by the Egyptian courts to put Sargon (Acmon/Nimrod) and his s
ons AFTER the Middle Kingdom to show Egyptian culture came first which in ancien
t times altering historical accounts was commonplace as a way of asserting histo
rical control over peoples by claiming traditionally it had always been that way
. This may have to do with Sargons purchasing of vast foreign lands from its inhab
itants being seen as an unfair deal (done under duress) by later descendants the
refore needing to be invalidated by historical narrative as legal proof. It is a
perfect assumption based on the known history. For further reference read, Ancient
Civilizations, by Arthur Cotterell *see specifically pages 84-108 *with page 85 cont
aining a map that shows possibly Sargons path of war as a Zodiacal wheel complete
with triangle points for the cardinal directions which when superimposed over a
map of the region from the Mediterranean to India points to India and Scythia t
hrough Iran then to Sumer and Arabia and onward into Ethiopia. It would be logic
al to assume the fastest route home would take them down the Nile right into the
Nile Valley! Once again this, circle, wheel, puts Persepolis at its possible cente
r which confirms the point where the Persians believed the, Kingdom of the Four Q
uarters, began from. The kingdom every ruler has historically tried to wrestle cont
rol of.

. Lesley March 5, 2015 at 3:05 AM The ancient egyptions were probably
dark skinned with dark hair, but not negro. Thats the overall impression you get
from their art work. Though apparently Cleopatra (one of them) was actually gree
k, but then that doesnt answer the the question of what race the ancient egyption
s were because she wasnt egyption. They obviously had brown skin, dark hair what
else can you say?
Wes Miller March 6, 2015 at 9:01 AM What else can you say? Let me take a few
minutes to debunk your racist white supremacy ideology. 1)the most diverse contin
ent in the world is africa and caucasians get their diversity from Africa, in fa
ct every non African can be traced back to sub saharan Africans negroids. This is
per the ancient human migrations, DNA trees. Ever heard of Out of Africa theory?
Look up the works of Spencer Wells, Sarah Tishkoff, Tishkoff says caucasians ar
e a sub set of sub Saharan Africans. 2) Now, now you say what the AEs were not, bu
t never say what they are!? this a simple minded attempt to deny black african d
iversity. By definition if you use the same logic you can say certain caucasian
populations are not caucasian! Populations in middle east, asia, & Europe. To be
clear you inherited your traits from sub saharan east Africans, Somalia, Kenya
and Ethiopia, these people are african. Just like not all white people look alik
e and some Italians are darker than Irish Brits, they are classified together. T
he same is true of Africans my ignorant upholder of white supremacy.
pkr March 6, 2015 at 6:11 PM The ancient Egyptians werent Negroes as I have
aid before. But, neither were the Nubians, Ethiopians or are African/Americans.
Negro means black, and black is a color. People are defined by the geographicall
y location they live in or originated from. The ancient Egypt were brown skin Afri
cans. I dont know how many images of ancient Egyptians that you have seen, but th
eir are thousands of them. When Cleopatra VII died, her family had been in Egypt
for nearly three hundred years, that is longer than most white in America ancesto
rs go back in this country. Yet, after a few generations, whites called themselv
es Americans. So, Cleopatra was Egyptian (African) with Greek ancestry. What answe
rs who the ancient Egyptian were is their art they left us.
Gordo March 6, 2015 at 8:31 PM All of you seem to be giving possibilities of
differing races who to my mind only settled in Egypt as none of the ones mentio
ned appear to have had the intelligence to build the pyramids and to me they are
the real Ancient Egyptians we are looking for and for the clamouring by differe
nt present day races to claim they are the bright ones, is pathetic, we know tha
t of most races especially black ones from Africa can stop trying to claim they
are the ones as to this day they have not one single invention and most of the o
ther claimants can quit as well , there must have been a type we dont know about
who did all the clever things and their maths and other geometry and knwledge o
f the stars and the Earths north and south at least 10000 years ago puts them ve
ry different to anyone today
Kenneth Strickland March 6, 2015 at 8:55 PM Lets see how intelligent or how
ownright stupid you are by answering this question. WHAT RACE OF HUMANS DO YOU T
HINK INHABITED THE WHOLE OF THE AFRICAN CONTINENT 10,000 years? Thats the race of
humans that did all of the things you mentioned. You can sure as hell bet NOWHIT
ES/CAUCASOIDS/CAUCASIANS existed, & no MONGOLOIDS (ASIATICS) or NON-BLACK HUMANS
had yet to set foot on African soil.
Wes Miller March 7, 2015 at 6:52 AM Its 2015 your ignorance is astonishing.
he ideology of white supremacy has been debunked decades ago. You are willfully
stupid. So many people here have provided so many facts which you have not refut
ed. The AEs were indigenous brown skin Africans who are rooted in sub Saharan Afr
ica. How do we know this. It has been proven by DNA studies, the study by DNA tr
ibes showed Tut was more closely related to sub Saharan Africans vs the Arab Afr
icans who invaded 3kya. Moreover, ancient human migrations routes show sub Sahar
an Africans moving into where Egypt is today and North Africa and the northern o
nes moved back into the Nile valley as the Sahara became a desert. The AEs were
indigenous brown skin Africans These are facts. Another fact, the first modern h
umans were dark skin sub Saharan Africans which all modern people derive inclung
Caucasians. Any DNA tree shows This. Thus is irrefutable! But I would like to s
ee you try *smile *
Sam March 7, 2015 at 4:19 PM Africans can exhale bees that suck death from W
hite people to save them. Africans are kindly while Whites are evil. Africans ar
e not evil because they werent made by an evil scientists. Africans always know w
hat car insurance Whites should buy and are nice enough to tell us which ones. A
fricans can fly in the air like birds. I know all these things because I saw it
on TV. If its on TV it must be true.
Wes March 8, 2015 at 9:58 PM Gordo youre a full of shit white supremacist. Y
u ignore all the facts Ive given u and ignored questions Ive asked. you ask about
black inventors and focus on the last 300 distorted African history. Look up the
term scientific racism and the scientists who invented it, the pseudo science the
y pulled out their ass, such as the invention of race and putting themselves at
the top of the hierarchy. Speaking of race/DNA stupid, unless DNA is contaminate
d, it is COMPLETELY reliable. On race, you come from the very people disparage.
Again look up the root of any DNA tree.
Gordo March 9, 2015 at 9:57 AM Robert Lindsay I am so sorry these sub specie
apes are taking this into their lower realm and I am not prepared to lower my s
tandards to theirs, they sure have a complex. Its a very interesting subject but
these subspecies seem to see it as a criticism of them, well they with their at
titude sure brought it on themselves, They need to check out their anatomy and s
ee that they are not a developed specie, and unfortunately for them and they can
twiddle all the nobs to change the known facts to make them look like a race of
developers with a human identity, it wont work!!! sorry mate but you can strike
me off the discussion which I hoped to learn more than how great the Blacks are
or how Mandela was god on Earth , I tried to be factually neutral and know that
seeing our own faults first before criticising others but you sure have a bunch
with chips on their shoulders. As for you Wes good luck You dont have to reply as
I wont be opening this lot again, prefer to have communications with intelligen
t beings ,
pkr March 9, 2015 at 6:58 PM When you say differing races you are talking ab
ut the Greeks, Romans and Arabs and Jews. You are not talking about the Libyans,
Ethiopians or Nubians, since they were native Africans. Somebody had to build t
he pyramids and if you say it wasnt brown skin black Africans who built them? Show
me who built them? This is a rhetorical question that I already know the answer to
. If you really want to know, go to Google Plus and search for images of kings w
ho built the pyramids and you will get your answer. White supremacy has caused h
istorical amnesia for Africans and African/Americans. So maybe the latter and th
e former forgot that people who look like them built the pyramids. The White Crown
of Upper Egypt (Southern Egypt) originated in ancient Nubia. Since so much math
went into building the pyramids, simply match the faces with the deeds and you
dont have to wonder how. You know that it happened and by whom.
.
. Wes Miller March 9, 2015 at 10:59 AM You have it ass backwards dummy
. Sub species based on what evidence!? You dont reply refuting anything I said be
cause YOU CANT! !
.
. Dave Mowers March 9, 2015 at 1:03 PM Imagine my joy at coming here t
oday to find the latest posts from, Black Origin Theorist, contending that Caucasi
ans did not live in Africa when in fact I have just hit page 132 of Penguins Ency
clopedia of Ancient Civilizations and was flat-out stunned by a full stone bust
statue of a Carthaginian woman found buried in Spain, a former Phoenician provin
ce since the Middle Dynasty of Egypt days down through the Minoan-Mycenaean-Acha
ean periods, and Carthage as everyone knows is in Tunisia but those people known
as both Phoenicians and Carthaginians inhabited the whole of the coastline all
the way over to Morocco in ancient times! You can see the bust from side view here
; http://lucys6.blogspot.com/2012/05/truth-about-phoenician-and-canaanite.html A fan
tastic blog btw but the full frontal view of this bust leaves no doubt of any ki
nd we are looking at Caucasian Celts when we say, Phoenicia. At this point I believe
it is necessary to begin referring to Black Egypt Promoters as, Black Origin The
orists, in-line with, Ancient Alien Theorists, since it is clear none of these peop
le are actually reading any historical work or looking at the evidence beyond se
lected artifacts or statements which cannot encompass the whole of the matter si
nce city-states were routinely overrun by foreign invaders who could not keep co
ntrol of them and left or were dispelled. One culture dominated these places for
thousands of years and we know what race they were.
Wes Miller March 9, 2015 at 3:44 PM Huge fail, this is another example of no
nsense. There is no context for not only the artifact(s) in question and any inf
ormation provided. there is no name, dates etc and no suppOrting scholarly data. T
his is like another idiot I know who said the Egyptians wrote poems about their
white skin, but conveniently does not mention the Egyptians who wrote this were
the Greek conquerors, who are not indigenous to Africa. Just like your massed grav
e of caucasians in Egypt. Which got debunked btw.
Dave Mowers March 9, 2015 at 6:43 PM The Tribe of Dan is from Mesopotamia an
d they were the first to inhabit the coastal areas of the Mediterranean Sea incl
uding all of Egypt to Thebes. The ancient Greeks called them Scythians.
pkr March 9, 2015 at 7:53 PM I have no idea where you pulled this ancient Eg
yptians were from Mesopotamia or were Greeks, who ruled ancient Egyptian for thr
ee hundred and two years from 332 BCE until 30 BCE. By this time the oldest pyra
mid was more than 2300 years old. The great dynasties were long gone and ancient
Egypt was in serious decline. Bing or Google for images of ancient Egyptians an
d please use a kings and queens list. Please concentrate on the 4th and 18th Dyn
asties specifically.
pkr March 9, 2015 at 8:15 PM What race were the people who dominated these p
aces for thousands of years? When did the Phoenician rule ancient Egypt? What do c
all what you are doing, African Truths Denier? When you said selected artifacts o
r statements. to diminish ancient Egyptian Art and literature remember this, Art
is history and is art.
Dave Mowers March 9, 2015 at 10:31 PM In Iraq two distinct groups developed,
a city-state group and a sea-faring group. These two groups became what we call t
oday, Greeks and Phoenicians. Now you can argue all you want but I have listed mor
e than ample proof with references including pages of books with direct quotes.
Sumerians split into two factions; sea peoples and city-state peoples. Every singl
e city in ancient Egypt was modeled on the Sumerian city-state. Every single anc
ient Egyptian word can translate as Sumerian. Egyptians used cuneiform writing f
rom Sumer. The first king of Egypt, Menes, is known throughout Mesopotamia and all
the way to India as various versions of his namesake, Manus, Manis-Tusu, Manji,
Minos, Menes, his father is listed in historical Sumerian Kings lists, Hindu mytho
logical genealogies and the Bible. The very name used for the mythical founder of
Egypt, Mitzraim, translates into Sumerian and means, The places surrounding the Sea
, as-in the Mediterranean Sea , as-in CITY-STATES OF PHOENICIA. These early peoples
who built these city-states came down from the Caucasus, invaded tribal areas a
ll the way to Libya and Italy and this genealogy is literally listed in the hist
ory of Ancient Greece as the descendents of Menes father; ACMON. Acmon, son of Gome
r, son of Japheth, founder of the Greek city-states, of Phrygia, of Germany, Ita
ly and the first person to open up the Rio Tinto mines in Spain. His peoples wer
e called Pelasgians. The Rio Tinto mines where known to be operated by a single
colony of these peoples in Crete. Go as far back as you want and you will see th
at Caucasians ruled ALL of the Middle East and North Africa. Period, end of stor
y. Just because you do not see them there today does not mean that they were nev
er there and in fact every single DNA-study of the peoples still in these areas
shows the Caucasian DNA lineage still present even in those who dont look like wh
ite people. Prove me wrong by citing sources of shut the fu_k up.
.
. Wes Miller March 9, 2015 at 8:22 PM Again Dave, where is the support
ing evidence, data, scholars and scholarship of whats in the blog? At the end of
the day there are images without context. For example, I give my view and the name
s of scientists and data that debunks you. Such as if you look up ancient human
migrations and look up the DNA of these people it shows their routes right into
Egypt. It also shows the dates of these migrations which supports the comments o
f Ken Strickland. Again how do you explain these migrations and say these are no
t the people who built Egypt. At the same time you dont see any migrations out si
de of Africa into Africa. In S.O.Y Keita, states their no evidence of a large mi
grations of people coming into Africa and building AE. Again you disparage the ver
y people who are your ancestors. That is according to Sarah Tishkoff who said no
n Africans like you are a sub set of Africans. Why do I make the point of you bein
g a sub set? Our current concept of race for the most is based on the pseudo sci
ence of the eurocentric European scientists he invented a racial hierarchy and th
en putting themselves at the top. Look up Blumenbach & Mieners who coined the te
rm caucasian. We now know is entire supposition is entirely incorrect. By defini
tion caucasian is a sub set of other races not a stand alone race. Really there
is only one race human and african. Everybody on the Planet are traced back to s
ub saharan Africa. Hence the out of Africa theory and the overwhelming evidence
that support it. These are facts! Irrefutable! A very small minority argue again
st. And stumble all over themselves with nonsensical theories, like the ones Mr.
Strickland already pointed out.
Dave Mowers March 9, 2015 at 10:34 PM Cite your DNA study proving Black Afri
cans invaded or migrated into Sumer and the Caucasus and Europe and brought with
them civilization. Prove it or shut the fuck up..

AFRICAN MOORS: THE APPEARANCE OF THE ORIGINAL BERBERS ACCORDING TO EUROPEAN PERC
EPTIONS BY DANA MARNICHE
SEPTEMBER 12, 2008 DON JAIDE 119 COMMENTS
The Appearance of the Original Berbers According to European Perceptions
All the early major Berber tribes including the Masmuda, Sanhaja, Ketama Zenata
and Nafusa are described as dark reddish brown like the Indi or as blacks or Ethiopi
ans in early documents. The notion of the early Berbers as being whites or Caucaso
id is a new and racist one related to the concept of the African Hamite. Certainly
the original Berber-speakers were never referred to as anything but black or some
thing near it until the 12th century and were otherwise considered the color of
Abyssinians and other so called Indi.

Even the Kabyles a notoriously fair-skinned Berber people of North Africa are up u
ntil the 19th century described as brown apart from a few clans. (See quotes below).
The knowledge that Europeans were changing the complexion literally and figurat
ively of North Africa up until the 19th century has disappeared from modern Euro
pean histories. Most know about the large part played by sub-saharan black slave
s in the making of modern North Africa and Arabia while the white slave trade wh
ich was in fact dominant trade in North Africa until the fall of Constantinople
(Istanbul in Turkey) in the 15th century had been largely ignored in historical
writings of the 20th. Yet it was only a few centuries ago that Europeans visitin
g North Africa commenting on the fact that, on almost every street of the cities
of Barbary, Europeans could be seen harnessed to carts like draught horses or se
lling water from jars loaded on the backs of donkeys.
1809 Commentary on those called Moors by an early 19th century observer: They carry
the Christian captives about the desert to the different markets to sell them f
or they soon discover that their habits of life render them unserviceable , or v
ery inferior to the black slaves of Timbuktoo. from An Account of the Empire of
Marocco, by J. G. Jackson published 1809 and 1814.
2003 From 1500 to 1650 when trans-Atlantic slaving was still in its infancy more
Europeans were taken to Barbary than black African slaves to the Americas. See,
Robert Davis Christian Slaves, Muslim Masters: White Slavery in the Mediterranea
n, the Barbary Coast, and Italy, 1500-1800, MacMillan Publishers, published 2003
.
The impact of the white slave trade and its contribution to the modern biology a
nd appearance of the modern North African stems from before the Arabian and Musl
im waves into Africa. The Roman ruler Claudian spoke concerning Gildo, the Mooris
h ruler of Africa and treatment of Roman women from the Levant by this North Afri
can chief and his countrymen:
4th century Claudian wrote, when tired of each noblest matron Gildo hands her ov
er to the Moors. These Sidonian mothers, married in Carthage city must needs mat
e with barbarians. He thrusts upon me an Ethiopian as a son-in law, a Berber as
a husband. The hideous hybrid affrights its cradle. Claudian, by Claudius Claudia
nus, translation by Maurice Platnauer, Published by G.P. Putnams sons, 1922 p. 11
3. (Gildo was brother to other Berber chiefs Firmus and Maseczel. Gildo is relat
ed to Aguellid or Galdi which remains the modern Tuarek word for chief. Masek, A
mazigh ot Imoshagh was the name for the ancient and modern Tuareg clans in gener
al. The Mezikes tribes were called Ethiopians in a Roman text of the time. )

1stt c. A.D. Diodorus Siculus speaks in reference to the expedition of Agathocles
a Sardinian general, of three Libyan tribes on the coast of Tunisia, the Micata
ni and Zufoni (see Zafan ),who were nomads and the Asfodelodi, who by the color
of their skin resembled the Ethiopians , p. 50 The Mediterranean Race Book XX, 38
, 57 Guiseppe Sergi, 1901. The Micatani were also called Ukutameni and Khethim b
y Josephus. In later writings they are called Ketama Berbers. The name Maketa or
Imakitan remains a name for the eastern branches of the Tuareg.
1st century A.D. Marcus Valerian Martial was one of the earliest Europeans to use
the phrase woolly hair like a Moor in one of his Satires, and the phrase was comm
only used up until the Middle Ages. See Nature Knows No Color Line by J.A. Roger
s, 1952. p. 50 The Muslim era didnt begin until the birth of Muhammed, the Prophe
t, over four centuries after Martial. By the 7th century the word came to be use
d for Arabians who in the early era of Islam for the most part were also describ
ed as of near black complexion.
1st century Silius Italicus also describes the Moors with the term Nigra meaning b
lack. In the 3rd century Roman dramatist Platus or Plautus maintained the name M
aure was a synonym for Niger which was a common term for the word black. 6th centu
ry Isidore Archbishop of Seville claimed the word Maure meant black according to
Brunson and Runoko Rashidi in The Moors in Antiquity in Golden Age of the Moor, 1
991.
6th A.D.- Corippus uses the phrase facies nigroque colorus meaning faces or appear
ance of black color to describe the North African Berbers. In his book Johannis,
I/ 245.
6th A.D. Procopius in his History of the Wars book IV contrasting the Germanic V
andals who had settled in North Africa with the Maures claimed the Vandals were
not black skinned like the Maurusioi . The tribes he classified as Maurusioi are t
hose now classified as ancient Berbers, the Numidians, Masaesyle, Gaitules, Mass
yles and Mezikes several other Berber tribes then settled between Tunisia and Moro
cco.
After the 8th century the term Moor came to be used for the many Arabian clans w
ho had invaded the Mediterranean and Africa because of their complexions which w
ere the same dark brown or near black to absolutely black color of the Berbers.

Griaules Legacy:
Rethinking la parole claire
in Dogon Studies*
Few Africanists, indeed few anthropologists, remain as controversial as
Marcel Griaule. Hailed as a hero of French Africanist ethnography, with
a prodigious output and prestigious school, and assailed as an anti-hero
whose sympathy for Africa masked deeper forms of colonial violence,
Griaule embodies the best and the worst of our disciplinary history. Lecturing
in his aviators uniform, badgering his informants1, seizing the Parisian
limelight, using aerial photography, embarking on missions, collecting for
museums, and eventually becoming a Dogon elder, Griaule remained a
curious combination of nineteenth century adventurer and 20th century colonial
commandant, at once an agent of the French government and a liberal
advocate of African cultural sophistication. Through the extended critique
of Lettens (1971), the signal essays of Jamin (1982b) and Clifford (1988),
and Hountondjis attack against ethnophilosophy (1983), Griaule became a
favorite target, personifying the violence and duplicity of colonial ethnography
and its mystification of cultural traditions2. With his substantive
research on Dogon deep knowledge questioned on empirical grounds (van
Beek 1991a), his interpretive focus on secrecy and hidden meaningwhat
he called la parole clairehas become iconic of the colonial imagination
at large (Mudimbe 1988). How, then, do we read Griaules uvre, and

assess its ethnographic legacy? What can we gain from his ethnophilosophical
project? To answer these questions, I propose a critical re-reading of
his Dogon ethnography and a new model of the esoteric knowledge that he
purported to reveal3. My aim is neither to defend nor dismiss Griaules
ethnography on political grounds, but to grasp the inner connections it manifest
s
between language, secrecy, and agency.
My re-reading is based on two methodological moves that recast Griaules
exegetical project in more socially dynamic terms. The first move,
based on my Yoruba research in Nigeria, is that esoteric levels of African
philosophical systems are actually indeterminate and unstable, and that this
capacity to contradict or subvert official or exoteric knowledge renders
secret knowledge transformative and thus powerful. Following Griaule, we
can acknowledge the significance of what he called la parole clairethe
deepest level of secret knowledgeas an important domain of social knowledge
and power, but contra Griaule, we maintain that its content is fluid
rather than fixed. As we shall see, this perspective vitiates van Beeks
discovery that the Dogon today do not recognize the secret myths and
cosmogony documented in Griaules later work, since we need not presume
that deep knowledge possessed a fixed content in the first place. If Dogon
esoterica is like Yoruba deep knowledge, it is context-specific, not stable
and timeless.
The second methodological move, developing out of the first, shifts the
Griaule schools elaborate analysis of Dogon language and symbolismand
more importantly, of Dogon ideas about language and symbolismto the
level of pragmatic analysis, locating dominant symbols, schemas and ritual
speech-genres in their contexts of production. Focusing on speech-acts,
locatives, and pronominal shifting, as well as on Dogon ideas about linguistic
performance, we can return to the rich Dogon material in terms of its
situated pragmatic functions. In so doing, the central figure of the body
in Dogon symbolic classification emerges within an interactive framework
of linguistic practice, what Hanks (1990, 1992) calls a corporeal field
establishing the indexical ground of deictic reference.
I will begin by returning to Griaules initiation into the realm of
Dogon esoterica, for it is here that his deep knowledge paradigm is introduced
and developed through conversations with Ogotemmli, the blind
Dogon sage. It is not my intention to endorse Griaules self-proclaimed
induction, which has become a textbook case of ethnographic mystification,
but to identify the model of knowledge he proposes and relate it to my
Yoruba material. From here I will turn to Leiris formidable study, La
langue secrte des Dogon de Sanga, focusing on the pragmatic dimensions

of Dogon ritual language that his research brought to light, and which also
appear in the ethnolinguistic investigations of Marcels daughter, Genevive
Calame-Griaule (1986). I will then extend this communicative framework
to Griaules symbolic codifications, arguing that the dominant Dogon cosmological
configurations are better seen as generative schemes for orienting
the body in social space, coextensively with broader domains of the habitus.
How these configurations developed dialogically, and in what senses
they could be politically transformative, involve fresh considerations of politi
cal
context and agency that Griaule himself so assiduously repressed.
La Parole claire
The famous Conversations with Ogotemmli, first published in 1948, represents
a turning point in Griaules research, away from the objectivist
documentation of his earlier Masques Dogons (1983) and into the rarefied
domain of secret meaning and knowledge. After fifteen years of energetic
inquiry into the manifold activities of Dogon custom and culture, Griaule
was initiated into the inner sanctum of what he would call la parole
claire, the deepest level of knowledge. Or so the story goes in its various
versions. Unbeknownst to him, the Dogon elders of Ogol and Sanga held
a special meeting and decided to reveal the mysteries of their religion.
Griaule was summoned to Ogotemmlis inner sanctum, where he would
return for the next thirty-three days to receive instruction, acquiring the
interpretive keys to Dogon culture and society through the wisdom of the
ancestors. From that point on, the Griaule school became a scholarly cult,
investigating the world of words, signs, and mythopoetic correspondences
throughout the Dogon and Bambara regions of the French Sudan4.
However contrived this famous mise en scne in establishing his ethnographic
authority, Griaule was onto something interesting. Whatever the
status of these privileged conversations, and the dialogical text that has
come to represent them, Griaule sketches a system of symbolic connections
represented by a stratified series of restricted words. Never mind that
the three words or levels in Conversations, condensed in his shorter essay
Descente du troisime verbe (1996), would later be extended to four (Griaule
1952), or that the ordinal series in other contexts collapsed into a binary
simple vs. deep contrast, recapitulated as exoteric vs. esoteric
knowledge, or as paroles de face vs. la parole claire. Whatever fictions
he deployed or illusions he held in his quest for the secrets of Dogon cosmology
,
Griaule clearly demonstrated the importance of language as its central

organizing principle. Indeed, Genevive Calame-Griaule (1996: 14-15)
would later note the Dogon predilection for reflecting on language, proclaiming
that through Ogotemmli Dogon civilization revealed itself as a civilization
of the Word. Where father and daughter went wrong, I shall
argue, was not in their linguistic formulation of deep knowledge, but in
their approach to its meaning and content.
Griaule was convinced that la parole claire represented a highly restricted
and specialized body of knowledge, consisting of myths, codes, signs
and classification systems; that is, of philosophical ideas, symbolic associatio
ns,
and ritual techniques and procedures that together formed a sophisticated
ethnophilosophy, one that structured and ordered the Dogon world.
As his classic Conversations reveals, together with his collaborative
research with Germaine Dieterlen, this knowledge took the form of creation
mythsincluding those of the Nommo Twins, the cosmic egg, and of the
pale fox or divinatory jackaland their symbolic analogues in the material
world, particularly granaries, homesteads, villages and fields, all variably
mapped onto the human body. Part Cartesian rationalism, as with Dogon
zoological classifications, and part symbolist poetics, resonating throughout
social and celestial domains, this knowledge was compared with ancient
Greek philosophy, as a precolonial African tradition that was equally rich
and worthy of investigation. Indeed, for Griaule and his intimate group,
the pursuit of la parole claire became an end in itself, an almost exegetical
mise en abme that became increasingly unreadable the deeper it went. But
however obscure its myths, graphic signs, and secret languages, such deep
knowledge was for Griaule a coherent tradition, a fixed corpus of hidden
insights and connections shared by initiated elders of the highest order.
Griaule actually estimated the distribution of such specialized knowledge
numerically, ranging between 4-15% of the population depending on the
relative word or level of depth. Bracketing the question of their quantitative
accuracy, these figures framed la parole claire in the form of empirical
documentation.
It is just such an account that van Beek (1991a) has disputed, subjecting
Griaules entire corpus of ethnophilosophical investigationsthe period following
his putative initiationto sustained empirical and theoretical critique.
So devastating is van Beeks attack, a deconstruction in the literal
sense of the term, that it warrants reconsideration to see if any of Griaules
paroles survive.
Van Beeks essay made quite a splash in the pages of Current Anthropology,
where, following the journals format, it appeared with responses from
a range of prominent scholars to whom he then replied. Presented as a
restudy, it offers a field evaluation of Griaules Dogon ethnography, raising
a host of interesting questions about secrecy, method, and the reproducibility
of ethnographic findings. After an admirable synopsis of Griaules
two initiatory textsDieu deau and Le Renard plevan Beek seeks
to demonstrate that most of the deep knowledge elicited by Griaule was
RETHINKING LA PAROLE CLAIRE 99
actually a hybrid product of his creative and fertile imagination, generated
in dialogue with a few idiosyncratic informants who did not represent Dogon
culture at large. Attending to what Pels (1994) calls the prterrain of the
ethnographic situation, van Beek convincingly argues that the Dogons
courtesy bias toward powerful figures of colonial authority, as Griaule
clearly was with his pith helmet, whites, and indomitable style, would have
lead them to endorse what he wanted to find. For example, van Beeks
discussion of how Griaule neglected the tonal system in his etymologies
(van Beek 1991a: 151-2), and how he badgered his informants into producing
ad hoc names for twenty-four types of dung beetle (ibid.: 154) without
appreciating the inventiveness involved, reveals systematic distorting mechanism
s
(if not shades of Kafka!) at work. Equally misleading was Griaules
commitment to a pristine precolonial model, one which blinded him to the
way Dogon culture incorporated the foreign within its horizonsa process
including ideas, values and techniques of neighboring peoples but also
extending to biblical and Quranic episodes at the center of his esoteric
creation myths. Indeed, as van Beek points out, Sanga was an important
market and administrative center, and the earliest Christian and Muslim
influence radiated from it (ibid.: 143). These and other examples of Griaules
interpretive excesses and limitations are indeed important and well
established, but the bulk of van Beeks negative commentary comes from
his literal-minded understanding of what deep knowledge should be.
Van Beeks most devastating evidence against Griaule is lack of corroboration.
When confronted with the contents and contours of Griaules esoteric
writings, the Dogon whom van Beek interviewed were bewildered:
The Dogon know no proper creation myth; neither the version of Ogotemmli
nor that of Le Renard ple is recognizable to informants, adding
that Dogon society has no initiatory secrets beyond the complete mastery
of publicly known texts (ibid.: 148). More important than Griaules misleading
emphases on ancestors, the Nommo spirit, and classificatory schemes
is the total absence of la parole claire within a socially restricted set
of ideas. Van Beek found that the concept of nyama, or vital force is
irrelevant to Dogon religion; that body symbolism is not isomorphic with
house plans, fields or villages; and that no sign systems or hierarchical
ordering of different paroles (so) or levels of knowledge can be found
(ibid.: 148). What secret knowledge there is, he argues, pertains to witchcraft,
sorcery, and those skeletons in the closet that cast shame upon specific
persons and groups whose unbridled ambitions generate conflict and rivalry
to undermine the public good5. As he concludes, The tendency towards
the creation of increasingly deep knowledge shows itself much more
towards the end of Griaules life, with a decreasing amount of Dogonness
marking the text (ibid.: 157). Thus the deeper we go the more we
get of Griaule, and the less of the Dogon themselves.

100 ANDREW APTER
Van Beeks findings were embraced by Griaules critics and detractors,
and provide an important corrective to his lack of historicism and sociopolitica
l
grounding, but I will argue that the negative thrust of the article
is misguided. Contra his claim that Griaules Dogon present a paradigm
anomaly in the regional ethnography, owing to the lack of comparable
deep knowledge in West African societies (ibid.: 142), a glance at the relevant
literature shows otherwise. Many of Griaules original team did provide
comparable evidence among Bambara, Bozo and Mande peoples, as
did Leiris among the Dogon as well. Certainly research on African ritual
associations and secret societies reveals a broad distribution of such gnostic
inner circles of knowledge, as Douglas (1991: 162) points out in her critical
response. It is precisely because Griaules deep knowledge formulations
resonate with my own Yoruba research that I have continued to take them
seriouslynot in terms of a dogma to be mastered but as a rhetorical
resource to be deployed.
When I began my research on Yoruba religion and politics, or what I
now call the hermeneutics of power, I immediately ran into serious barriers.
My project seemed straightforward enoughto examine the politics
of orisha worship as a space of contesting political authoritybut even my
most preliminary inquiries were blocked from the start. In the kingdom
of Ayede-Ekiti, where I conducted my fieldwork, I was allowed to record
and photograph public festivals and visit the dominant town shrines, but
discussion of ritual symbols and practices, and virtually anything relating
to the priests and priestesses, was extremely limited at best. Over the months
and years, I built up enduring relations with ritual specialists and devotees
of Yemoja, Orisha Ojuna, and Orisha Iyagba as well as with members
of the Ogboni secret society, but I never once experienced any running
exegesis of sacred symbols and their secret meanings. Direct questioning
would provoke such responses as Asg aa ni (it is tradition), Mi og mog
(I dont know), and only eventually Awo ni (it is a secret), as if the
very acknowledgment that there was a hidden meaning was a major concession
to my intrusive requests. Even when my interviews were prepared
with schnapps and kola nuts, further demands for money often followed
from those who did not know me well, based on the understanding that
deep knowledge, called mo `j
inl, was restricted, scarce, and had etraordinary
value. I I protested such demandsand they could be uite eorbitantI
was asked whether or not specialized education was ree in America,
and urthermore, i I had any idea what initiates invested over the years to
acuire their secrets. Why would I presume that it should be iven reely
to me? Didnt I know that i its secrets were leaked, an orisha would lose
its power?
While invokin their orisha durin sacriices and estivals, devotees
oten pray not to leak any secrets, reuestin ritual assistance in sealin
their lips. An elder devotee is much like a vessel, illed with the omi or
water o the orishas power which must not leak, spill, or allmirrorin

the vessels o o` tun, or revitalizin water that they carry on their heads to
ritually reproduce the kindom. When I bean my research on Yoruba
ritual and politics, a neihborin chie with a university deree lauhed as
he told me: No matter how much time you spend with them, the priestesses
will never tell you their secretsthey will never reveal anythin! And
indeed, in terms o overt disclosures, he was riht. ormal initiation would
not solve the problem since it was predicated on a blood-oath (`ml ) not
to reveal cult knowlede to outsiders. Indeed, secrets were eually protected
within the shrines, distinuishin derees and rades o elderhood
within. I I were ormally initiated, my lips too would be sealed. Ponderin
my predicament with the help o palm wine, I eperienced somethin
o an ethnoraphic epiphany. The very barriers that so eectively blocked
my access to deep knowlede should not be seen a problem to overcome,
but were themselves part o the ethnoraphic solution, to be documented
as socially siniicant data. I the secrets remained orever out o reach,
the mechanisms protectin them were not6.
With my research perspective thus radically readjusted, my ieldwork
took a productive turn. I no loner asked inappropriate uestions unless
seekin the limits o discursive disclosure. As I spent more time with the
devotees, and was brouht into the protected roves and inner chambers o
their shrines, I came to appreciate how secrecy operated in practice, as a
mode o drawin boundaries, settin aendas, and discussin controversial
aairs. rom this method o proloned osmosisvery dierent rom
Griaules concentrated instructionI received insihts about deep knowlede
in raments, with respect to prior conlicts in the kindom, in relation
to specialized passwords and handshakes, reardin witchcrat and ertility,
or pertainin to true histories (itn) not publicly acknowleded, and sometimes
danced rather than spoken. In the more eneral terms o everyday
use by uninitiated Yoruba townsolk, deep knowlede was associated with
powerul people with access to the oriinal secrets o the irst ancestorsincanta
tions
like yjo that were uttered by the irst people, true histories
proclaimed in the heterolossic arenas o `jal chants, in curses (p) and
incantations (o o` ) that could kill, and invocations o ancestral spirits o
humans
and deities alike, as in ork` and un pp, not to mention the enimatic
secrets (awo) o Ia divination. Applied to issues or events, however, the
ualiier deep denoted political disruption and moral violation, as in the
usurpation o a royal dynasty by the Eshubiyi line, the murder o a kinsmen
or makin money-maic (Apter 1998: 84-86), or the nearious activities
o the once rulin National Party o Nieria (NPN) which ried ubernatorial
election results in 1983.
Two aspects o such secrets are especially relevant to van Beeks reassessment
o Griaule. The irst concerns their subversive character as icons
and indices o sociopolitical revolt. The dominant symbol o the royal

Yemoja estival in Ayede, or eample, is the calabash (iba) o concentrated
ritual potency (s e ) that is carriedbalanced on the hih priestesss
headrom the bush to the palace, where it empowers the kins person
and revitalizes the body politic. Like any dominant symbol, it embraces
a span o meanins ranin rom eplicit normative blessins (it brins
children and wealth, it keeps the kin healthy) to implicit, orbidden themes
o division and bloodshed, and it is this latter pole that is powerul and
deep. Yemojas ructiyin calabash represents the womb o motherhood,
the head o ood destiny, the crown o the kin, the interity o the town,
even the cosmoloical closure o sky and earth. But its suraces are decorated
with sins o a deadlier power within, indicated by red parrot eathers
(`ko odd )sins o ritual neation. Evokin the witchcrat o the priestesses
and their mechanism or deposin the kin, red parrot eathers on
the calabash simultaneously assert a broken womb, miscarried delivery, bad
destiny, a decapitated (and crownless) kin, as well as political ission and
a cosmos out o control. uch neative themes are rarely voiced in public,
but they nonetheless constitute a repertoire o potential interpretations that
under certain conditions can be invoked to mobilize opposition aainst the
status uo. The deep knowlede o royal ritual actually involves the kins
sacriice and rebirth, whereby his icons o personal power and royal authority
are literally taken apart and reassembled by authorized priests and priestesses,
culminatin in the crownin moment, as he receives the calabash,
when the kin is recapitated, reinstalled and reproduced. In the case o
non-royal estivals, the orishas calabash serves as a potential crown to
remind the kin that his chies can always rise up and usurp the rulin
line. uch themes are enhanced by various enres o ritual speech, which
invoke repressed histories and veiled warnins o ormer kins and warriors
who can prevail aain (Apter 1992a: 117-148; 1998). The dominant visual
and verbal tropes that epress these themes include those o inversion (e..
in the imae o a capsized canoe), reversal (e.. rom riht to let), and
mimetic appropriation (e.. o European crowns). The latter symbolic unction
is particularly relevant to brinin outside icons o power within local
ields o ritual command, absorbin symbols o orein value and authority
throuh metaphoric and metonymic associations.
But i this aspect o deep knowlede invokes ission, usurpation and
even militant dismemberment, it does so throuh mechanisms o ormal
opposition to received historical and enealoical charters. The deeper one
oes, in a sense, the less ied and determinate the character o the secret,
and the more ormal the mechanisms o reversal and inversion. This second
aspect o secrecy as interpretive revision is captured by what I have called
the central aiom o Yoruba hermeneutics: ecret surpasses secret, secret
swallows secret completely (Awo jawo lo , awo l bawo m tor tor).
ollowin this aiom to its loical conclusion, the secret behind the secret
is that deep knowlede has no content at all but derives its power rom
contet-speciic opposition to the authoritative discourses that it implicitly
RETHINKING LA PAROLE CLAIRE 103
challenes. Like Griaules discussion o Doon esoterica, a salient distinction
between eoteric (paroles de ace) and esoteric (la parole claire)
knowlede is here at play (see also Giaule & Dieterlen 1991: 55), but unlike
Griaule, I maintain that the deeper modes have no ied content into which
all ritual elders are eventually initiated. I the ideoloy o deep knowlede
asserts a ied corpus o secrets, then this should not be taken at ace value,
but as a screen that allows its pramatic unctions to masuerade as sanctiied
wisdom and learnin. As such, deep knowlede is powerul because
it is revisionary, sustainin possibilities o political transormation throuh
the revaluation and reversal o established orders. In the sociocultural contet
s
o historic Yoruba kindoms, the political lines o contestation and
division are ormed around kins in relation to their civil chies, and their
dominant lines o political sementation into uarters, lineaes and households.
I we assume, or the sake o arument, that Doon deep knowlede
works in similar ways, not as a ied corpus o meanins and myths but
as an interpretive space o reconiuration, van Beeks lack o corroborative
evidence poses no real threat to la parole claire. or i it is paradimatically
contet-speciic, chanin over time and space to it local political
roups and relations, we would not epect to ind the same content at
all. O course van Beeks critiue oes urther than this, denyin even the
ormal oranization o knowlede into levels o restricted access, but here
we can read him aainst himsel. The deep secrets he did receive, pertainin
more to sorcery, witchcrat and skeletons in the closet than to cosmic
es and primordial oes, are in act consistent with the divisive, issive,
and subversive dimensions o deep knowlede as a politicaland as we
shall seeillocutionary orce. They orm part o the repertoire o resources
that can be mobilized to challene the status uo. And the ramentary
manner in which such data were disclosed is indeed consistent with its mode
o dissemination to non-initiates. I am not implyin that van Beek lacked
crucial insiht into the deeper levels o Doon symbolism and meaninhis
essay on the dama masuerade is a masterpiece o ritual eeesis, linkin
ender transormations between men and women to the danerous secrets
o social reproduction (van Beek 1991b). That he does not see such meanin
as deep is more a conseuence o his methodoloical orientation: i
people do not tell him it is deep, or reconize deep knowlede in overt
declarations, then in eect it does not eist or him. I would arue that
his Doon inormants could not tell him because they did not know or could
not say, iven the discursive restrictions aainst its disclosure.
To substantiate this counter-critiue, and etract the pramatic kernel
o la parole claire rom its socially sanctioned mystical shell, I will attend
more closely to lanuae itsel; irst in the more contemporaneous work
o Griaules ambivalent secretary archivist, Michel Leiris, ollowed by the
subseuent investiations o his loyal dauhter, Genevive Calame-Griaule.

Ritual Lanuae
By the time La lanue secrte des Doon de ana was published in 1948,
Deborah Lichitzo Griaules Aricanist circlehad died in Auschwitz,
and it is to her memory that Michel Leiris dedicated this etraordinary study
o ritual lanuae. Published the same year that Griaules Entretiens irst
appeared, it presents a comple counterpoint to the rench masters voice, at
once derivative o his irst documentary tome, Masues doons (1938)iven
its etensive ocus on sii ritual tetsand yet uneasy with the colonial
situation in Arica and the German occupation o rance7. To what etent
La lanue secrte voices a muted indictment o Griaule in this broader
contet is diicult to say, since Leiris debts cut in both directions: to the
1931 Dakar-Djibouti mission in which he recorded the bulk o his linuistic
material, as well as the more socioloical roundwork irst established
by Griaule (1938); but also to the lamented Deborah Lichitz, acknowleded
in the oreword, with her comrades-in-letters Denise Paulme and
Andr chaener8. I am not suestin that Leiris collected his material
with a radical political project irmly in place, however haunted he was by
the maniold orms o colonial alienation in LAriue antme; but in Paris,
at least, he was writin up in one o the oundin cells o the Resistance
movement, the basement o the Muse de lHomme9. The issue remains
unclear, in part, because the politics o secrecy sustains ambiuous interpretat
ions
in shitin contets.
Ambiuity and unstable content are in act dianostic o sii ritual tets,
which are marked more by simpliied synta and morpholoy than by comple
metaphors and poetic associations. ii tets are paradimatically
vacuous, posin diiculties o translation because their shitin meanins
so closely relate to their perormative contets. As Leiris (1992: v)
eplains: [. . .] la nature [. . .] du lanae secret, au vocabulaire trs rduit

published (GHRENAIA 1987: 239). Leiris also dreamed that he saw Boris Vild

In its broadest sociopolitical contet, the secret lanuae o sii so
belons to an eclusive mens society oranized by ae-rades and associated
with the primordial ancestor Awa, rom whom the secrets o sii
descended. Represented by masked dancers in red iber skirts, the spirit
o Awa embodies the complementary principles o death and rebirth underlyin
the perpetuation o ae-raded enerations. At the ape o the hierarchy
is an inner core o olubaru elders, initiated into the hihest rade
durin the ull ii ceremony, perormed every sity years at the completion
o the ull enerational cycle, and ollowin a coordinated itinerary throuhout
villaes and reions10. O course not all ii elders would make it to

minlin with the ancestors and the dead, and thus reerred to as people
o the bush, deemed socially powerul and impure. These ritual elders
were considered the oicial depositories o sii so, and it was throuh
them that the lanuae was dierentially disseminated to the lower rades
in accordance with their levels. Buildin on chaeners 1935 survey o
iron ons associated with olubaru dinitaries, Leiris estimated their total

number as une uinzaine in the entire ana reion, representin a hihly
restricted inner circle controllin access to secret lanuae and knowlede.
Beneath this specialized elite, the remainin elders represent the net level
o deep knowlede, acuired throuh lon association with the dama rites
and uneral ceremonies connected with the ii estival comple. ollowin
this roup are individuals o varyin aes who study the sii lanuae
with specialists, short-cuttin, as it were, the initiation hierarchy or the
conventional ee o 33,003 cowriesa iure siniyin a considerable cost
rather than a precise amount (Leiris 1992: 17). The eect o this more
direct route to the lanuae was at once inancial, providin additional unds
or the mask society, but also broadened the social rane o ritual lanuae
competence and perormance. More conventionally, however, instruction
bean with male circumcision as the irst initiation into the mens society.
While prepared and doctored in the bush, the novices received millet beer,
sesame oil, black pepper and medicines to help them hear the voice o
Awa, and bean an instruction in sii lanuae and mytholoy that increased
as they advanced up the hierarchy.
The content o such esoteric instruction, which increased with elderhood,
remains both sketchy and chared in the work o the Griaule school: curiously
displaced by each account into shitin mythic iures and linuistic
orms. The initial sii teachins involve reetin ormulae, benedictions
and propitiations, myths o oriin, the secret names o oods and drinks
used in initiation, and a new leicon or parts o the body. In addition,
initiates learn the ehortations that enhance the nyama, or vital orce, o
the masked dancers, with speciic calls linked to particular masks. Mythically
located in the realm o the bush with inn (yinu) spirits and souls
o the dead, the sii lanuae evokes earlier historic mirations by miin
Mande and Voltaic terms and archaisms toether with Doon leemes11.
The mythic oriins o the sii estival itsel, and the presidin Grand Awa
mask at the center o the ritual comple, trace back to an eponymous ancestor
who, ater becomin a snake like all old people in that time, broke a
taboo aainst speakin ordinary vernacular to humans, and thereater ushered
in death and mortality, but also reeneration. Buildin on Griaules
documentary oundation by providin alternative versions and variants o
the oriin myth recorded in Masues doons, Leiris introduced a subtle but
siniicant shit in perspective. Unlike Griaule, who operated under the
philoloical tradition o a mythic ur-tet at the heart o the sii comple,
Leiris reconized the inherent heteroeneity built into the corpus o sii
11. or a discussion o dierent sii dialects in the villaes o Banani, Oro on
o,
Kunnu and Kabae, see LEIRI (1992: 33). As a combination o Mande and
Voltaic elements, the sii lanuae involves comple considerations o oriins,
mirations and borrowins rom Mossi, Malinke, and Bambara lanuae areas,
as well as possible Arabic inluences in articles like al-, relectin the past
throuh linuistic orms and archaisms as well as the problematic enealoy o
the Doon themselves (ibid.: 25-44, 404.)

oundin myths. In an etended ootnote to Griaules deinitive version,
Leiris eplains his variations with the insiht that il neiste pas une tradition
uniue mais plusieurs traditions, dont il ny a pas stonner uelles
soient, sur certains points, contradictoires (Leiris 1992: 146, n. 2). Throuh
this important interpretive move, Leiris locates contradiction within a corpus
o deep knowlede, not as a problem to be eliminated throuh philoloical
ratiocination but as a eature that makes sense in relation to chanin
social and perormative contets. Indeed, his investiations into sii synta
and morpholoy hihliht the critical relationship between meanin and
contet12.
I have already noted that the sii lanuae is limited and impoverished
in comparison with ordinary spoken Doon, but the direction o its rammatical
reductions reveals a siniicant retreat, as it were, into the bodynot
as a transcendental symbolic scheme, but as a corporeal ield o indeical
unctions. ii tets are not ied, Leiris oten reminds us, but are rooted
in their contets o ritual production, callin on particular masks, sinlin
out dancers movements and body parts, salutin presidin spirits, shitin
subjects and objects, merin sinular with plural, voicin chanes o
action, shapin points o view, merin past with present, and above all,
activatin the nyama or eicacy o Awa and his avatars. To illustrate this
dynamic interaction between sii tets and perormative contets, I will
ocus on the corporeal dimensions o ritual speech with reerence to verbs,
pronouns, and locatives.
Verbs in sii are ew in number, and mainly epress movements o
dancers or spectators within the ritual arena. The most reuently used are
dyenunu, lossed to o, enter, or introduce, and saya, to place, place
onesel, or be placed (Leiris 1992: 416). Common utterances ehort dancers
to realize and maimize their actions, as in movin those body parts

As the activation o the eyes suests, these ehortations shape visual
as well as choreoraphic rames, interposin acts o seein and bein seen
within perormance arenas. Verbs are urther reduced in terms o tense
and mood. Limited to the present indicative, they represent a condition o
permanent actuality that or Leiris, citin Leenhardt, uite technically
points to the here and now (Leiris 1992: 53). Within this condensed
communicative ield, only the attitude and tone o the speaker distinuishes
imperatives rom ordinary indicatives. In the sii command wana boy
(Venez!), the urency with which the addressees must respondin this
case dancers made to et up and perormis epressed and enhanced by
wavin the riht hand (ibid.: 51). The dramatic ualities o sii lanuae,
and its enhanced orms o bodily epression, are thus partly a unction o
its simpliied structure.
Lack o plural and sinular orms urther reduces the lanuae o sii to
transposable schemas o situated communication. As in many West Arican
lanuaes, pronouns rather than verbs indicate rammatical number in ordinary
Doon, but in sii, the pronouns themselves are restricted to the two
loatin orms o irst and second persons plural. The pronominal matri
o ordinary Doon is thereby reduced to the plural we (emme) and you
(ye/yo/ya), a dyadic opposition that assimilates all sinular as well as third
person orms, subject only to the uantiier ina speciyin all or totality.
The eect o such pronominal reduction, combinin indierence to
time (in the verb system) with indierence to number, is the production o
discursive schemas that work, accordin to Leiris, as a series o dynamic
landmarks (repres) brinin ied relational cateories to shape the
ritual arenas o movement and participation. Within this rammar o
mythic reduction, plurality and sinularity mere throuh the very acts o
ehortation as individual persons, masks and spirits uite literally stand up
or roups, cateories and types (ibid.: 55-56). But whereas or Leiris this
schematic orderin is iconic o mythic templates and archetypes, we can
shit his emphasis rom meanin to practice, and discern a transposable
interactive scheme. In contet, the pronominal reduction in sii so to a
ied I-We/Thou-Ye opposition assimilates all ritual participants and
observers within a dyadic communicative rame.
I the pronominal system meres individual and collective bodies into
binary relations o mutual reconition, sii locatives anchor tets to their
contets by etendin the body into a corporeal ieldront and back, above
and below, inside and outside, riht and let, and their associated directional
movements (ascendin and descendin, enterin and eitin, etc.) within
the perormance arena14. It is thus perhaps no accident that Leiris hihlihts
these terms as particularly conusin and ambiuous precisely because their
meanins shit accordin to their use as substantives, representin parts o
14. or an analytical ormulation o corporeal ields, see HANK (1990: 91-95).
RETHINKING LA PAROLE CLAIRE 109
the body, or as proper locatives in postposition15. As he notes, in postposition
they indicate spatial relations and only contet distinuishes their meanins
as particles (ibid.: 57). The most commonly used locative in sii is
dyu (alt. dyuu) siniyin head or body as a substantive but used in
postposition to mean on, toward, or above. imilarly bin(u) doubles
as stomach or in, inside; por as back and behind, beore as well
as a cadet who is both behind in seniority and brins up the rear in ritual
procession. Etendin the body to the various social and personal spaces
o an actor (Hanks 1990: 91), terms like iiru as earth or round also
siniy below and the act o descendin, contrastin with dara as sky,
up above, and also used in ascendin. In a similar contrast, du
(house, villae) and loo (road) siniy inside and outside in more sociocentric
terms, and also used in complementary epressions o enterin and
eitin (Leiris 1992: 421-424).
These pronominal and locative eamples represent those areas o the
sii lanuae most diicult to translate because their meanins are rounded
in their perormative contets. hitin and loatin an interactive scheme
between phases and components o the ritual process, they relect a discourse
less rooted in Griaules mythic substrate (Ciarcia 2001: 218) than
in transormations o person and place. ii so does invoke specialized
mythic knowlede in raments, but does not semantically contain it. Transcribed
and translated, it reveals a privileed scheme o corporeal interaction
that mobilizes the nyama o the masked sii dancers, oranizes participants
into interposed roups, and directs the low o movement and enery as
the estival unolds.
Althouh the model o linuistic and symbolic analysis remained resolutely
eeetical and cryptoloical or the Griaule school, a perormative
approach to lanuae and to the indeical unctions o the corporeal ield
are clearly adumbrated in Leiris observations as sketched above, and nearly
take shape in the ethnolinuistic investiations o Genevive CalameGriaule.
Her Ethnoloie et Lanae, irst published in 1965, builds upon
her athers tradition o mythic documentation and symbolic classiication
in what Dell Hymes acclaimed as a pioneerin ethnolinuistic investiation
(Hymes 1986: v-vi). And ollowin her athers ocus on the body as an
important symbolic template, Calame-Griaule reveals an elaborate corporeal
system at the center o Doon ideas about lanuae, linkin speech to the
brain, collar bone, liver, heart, pancreas, spleen, laryn and mouth; relatin
the eicacy o the word to bodily substances like blood and oil; and associatin
dierent modes o discourse (reetin, jokin, rievin, even teachin)
with bodily lows and processes. Nor is this bodily template restricted to

110 ANDREW APTER
lanuae and speech stricto sensu, but maps onto esoteric raphic sins as
the speech o various mythic iures and animals. In this broader contet,
Doon ideas about speech and the body provide an interpretive key to the
symbolic world at lare, and this is the eneral orientation that CalameGriaule
pursues. The word or the Doon, she writes, is like a book
whose messae must be deciphered or decoded, and man is constantly
concerned to interpret the signs around him (Calame-Griaule 1986: 9).
What follows is a marvelous exposition of verbal and symbolic associations,
a decoding to be sure, but with surprisingly little structural description or
grammatical analysis of Dogon language itself.
There are revealing moments, however, of pragmatic disclosure that suggest
an alternative grounding of her ethnolinguistic corpus, less in the body
as an anthropomorphic cipher and more as privileged corporeal field, the
ground of socially situated discursive agency. As Calame-Griaule admits:
Yet, in the measure in which every social act implies a verbal interchange,
and where each act is in itself a form of self-expression, speaking is at
times synonymous with undertaking or doing [. . .] to Dogon thinking,
actions and words are linked together, and this is why, in a symbolic sense,
one also calls speech the outcome of an action (ibid.: 5.). Her two examples,
his words have gone inside (so: vomo yoa) and it has now become
tomorrows speech (i.e. the works continuation will be postponed until
tomorrow, N yogo soy) involve just those shifting locatives (stomach,
inside) and deictics (tomorrow) that extend the body in space and time.
Characteristically, Calame-Griaule assimilates this performative dimension
of language to a symbolic sense, thereby reducing doing to meaning.
Nowhere is this limitation more clearly imposed than in her ideas about
nma (nyama) as the mana or animating principle that is activated by
speech:
Nma, the life force, is envisioned as a fluid that circulates through the body
carried by blood. The idea of a nma has appeared since the earliest Dogon studies
where it has been defined as an actualizing energy, impersonal, unconscious, shar
ed
by all animals, plants, supernatural beings, all the things of nature [. . .] the
simple
act of calling someone by one of his names may produce an increase in his corres
ponding
nma. For we shall see that the mechanism of speaking is essentially
an action upon the personal life force (ibid.: 19-20)16.
In this passage we see how nma is linked to invoking and calling not
merely by a conventional symbolic association but through the pragmatic
functions of speech acts. Elsewhere, we learn that the nma of a speaker
determines the nma of his speech, and correlates with his power and authority,
and ability to command (ibid.: 35)17. What for Calame-Griaule remains
16. Her own, unpaginated citation is to her father (GRIAULE 1983).
17. In this respect, the Bambara and Dogon notions of nma are just like the Yorub
a
idea of sg eg .
RETHINKING LA PAROLE CLAIRE 111
an ideational explanationwords are linked to power and efficacy because
of Dogon beliefs about language and the bodybecomes from our pragmatic
perspective more of a grammatical explanation, based on the very
principle of linguistic performativity. Nma doubles as a property of
discourse and a force of nature because the social relation between both
domains in grammatically constituted through illocutionary force. The
body as mediator of this dynamic relation establishes a corporeal field,
nothing less than the indexical ground of deictic reference through which
social contexts and relations are shaped and remade.
Fragmentary evidence supports this recasting of the Dogon body as corporeal
field. To begin, the truth-value of utterances is closely associated
with bodily position. As Calame-Griaule explains, True Speech is
uttered by a speaker while sitting down. The position allows for the harmony
of all the faculties: the mind is calm, the water in the collarbone is
calm, and words in the same way are controlled and well considered. Elders
gathered under the speech shelter to converse are always seated, and
it is significant that the shelter has such a low ceiling that it would be
impossible to stay under it otherwise. Conversely, speech delivered from
standing or walking positions is unstable: If a person speaks standing up,
his words do not go down (so: sgoyele), they have no path. Such is
the case with angry speech or words of the light man: he speaks standing
up or walking along, for they have no position, no stopping point (`nu
sle) (ibid.: 63-64). rom this relative contrast between sittin and standin,
we bein to limpse how interactive rames o situated communication
structure even the truth value o discourse systemically, in relation to down
and up. We would also need to speciy associated coordinates o ront and
back, let and riht, intimated in a more symbolic reister by the social
dimensions o the namin matri in which Doon males are located (ibid.:
472, i. 41), and which is urther superimposed on a reliious schema
o ritual ualities and mystical values (ibid.: 536-538, i. 43). The Doon
person is urther characterized by a riht-let and male-emale dualism that
lies at the very core o the sel and emeres always as an aent o
imbalance despite the best eorts to control it throuh male and emale
circumcision (ibid.: 33). Indeed, [. . .] we ind that the whole person is
made up o a material carrier or body distinct rom, but in close contact
with, the outside world throuh the constant low o the our elements.
[. . .] It is watered by the nma luid, like the land by its streams, and is
the source o his vital impulse. [. . .] Thus the individual is not closed,
but open, to the world, soakin it in, it could be said, throuh every pore.
I would complement this passive or receptive view o the Doon person
with a rammatically more active voice, etendin out rom the body as a
corporeal ield to shape the interactive contets o individual and collective
aency. Thus when Calame-Griaule asks: How does the self make contact
with other, similar selves? What part of himself does he project
112 ANDREW APTER
outside? How does he act upon others? (ibid.: 31-32), we can look not
only to the liver, blood and collar bones of the body, but also the spatial
coordinates of bodily orientation (Hanks 1990: 90) in situated communication.
Rereading Griaule
In what senses do the pragmatic functions of Dogon language and ritual
speech extend to la parole claire writ large? How does nma (nyama)
as an indigenous principle of linguistic performance inform the revisionary
power of deep knowledge more generally? By pursuing these questions,
we reanalyze Dogon deep knowledge as a sanctified form of critical agency;
one that demands not a rigid approach to secret myths and symbolic codes
but a more flexible feel for generative schemes. In the section that follows,
I use Hanks (1990) and Bourdieu (1977) to transpose the body as corporeal
field into broader structures and domains of the habitus. Where Griaule
saw the body as both cipher and microcosm of the Dogon world, we treat
the body as geometer; that is, as the locus of practical homologies and
scheme transfers that generate the structuring structures of Dogon society
(Bourdieu 1977: 114-124). By introducing this critical shift in perspective,
we can extract the pragmatic kernel from the mystified shell of Griaules
initiatory ethnography, recognizing the importance of those formal homologies
and generative schemes that his work brought to light while suspending
the mystifying constraint that they hold the same content for an inner circle
of elders. And in developing a more dynamic analysis of la parole claire
as critical practice, we can further explain why its oppositional features
would generate orthodox and heterodox variationsnot a fixed body of
wisdom but a space of critical dialogue and revision. This more dialogical
approach to the celebrated conversations with Ogotemmli, however,
involves a return to political context and agency that Griaule seems to have
repressed or ignored.
Initial evidence of a more indexical approach to la parole claire as
a body of knowledge comes from a short analytical summary that Griaule
published just four years before his premature death in 1956. Representing
his final reflections on the organization of deep knowledge, Le savoir des
Dogon reveals four degrees or levels of access, ranging from the most
general and public to the most esoteric and specialized. The first level of
giri so, which he glosses as parole de face, provides an abridged digest
of the Dogon world in which certain mythic figures are disguised or left
out, episodes conflated, and references fairly limited to the realm of the
visible. This preliminary level corresponds to the empirical documentation
of his pre-1946 mission, Griaule tells us, representing a first stage in such
works as his Masques dogons18. The second level of benne so, glossed as
18. The not so subtle implication of this claim is that the work of his students
and
others on his team, such as Leiris, Schaeffner, Leiris, and Paulme, remain limit
ed
RETHINKING LA PAROLE CLAIRE 113
parole de ct, comprises words that were left out or forgotten in giri
so; that is, meanings that are held back until the person is ready, mainly
with reference to Dogon rites and representations. Here we reach the celebrated
turning point of Griaules Conversations, with its privileged access
to secret wisdom revealing a world of hidden insights and symbolic associations.
Beyond, or perhaps we should say beneath, this level, is that of
bolo so, or parole de derrire, which completes the preceding level with
still further secrets otherwise withheld, but also synthesizes other domains
of knowledge in relation to general, more abstract principles of classification.
In this sense depth and synthetic totality go together as complementary
principles of knowledge formation and acquisition. Represented by
his post-1949 writings, the third level of bolo so corresponds qualitatively
to the still deeper insights of Le Renard ple, written with Germaine Dieterlen
and published posthumously in 1965, and applies quantitatively to the
ethnosemiotic inventory of Signes graphiques soudanais (Griaule & Dieterlen
1951). And finally, capping, and in a crucial sense, containing, the
three levels or words of Dogon knowledge is so dayi, or la parole
claire proper, concerning the edifice of knowledge in its ordered complexity
but also ultra-restricted insights like the ethnoastronomy of the system
of Sirius. Griaule himself acknowledges a certain flexibility built into
this scheme, subject to diverse interpretations. As he notes, la parole claire
is conditioned by various channels of transmission; the family, age-set,
occupational group, priesthood, mask society, among others (Griaule 1952:
34). And as with the language of sigi so, there are regional variations of
its distribution among elders. Even analytically, a tension persists between
qualitative form and quantitative content. La parole claire is at once a
comprehensive inventory of secret signs and meanings, and the logical
predicate of an ordered triad representing the very principle by which the
three preceding words or levels are organized into a framework of knowledge19.
What is more, this very classification of levels remains one of the
deepest secrets, safeguarding a hidden logic of relations for the deserving
few, after years of perseverance and study.
Clearly there is a heroic autobiography written into this schematic disclosure,
a self-serving synthesis of research projects and fieldwork missions
that further ratifies the initiatory paradigm and the privileged position
of the European at its apex. Equally suspect is the objectivist language
of its representation as a consistent and shared body of secrets differentially
distributed between 5-6% of upper Sanga at the highest level, and between
15-20% at the penultimate level of restriction. But one striking feature
to this superficial level, whereas his own Masques becomes the first stage of a
deepening series of further studies.
19. This logic of containment, by which a relation between elements is counted
as an additional element is also found in the Yoruba proverb, Two Ogboni make
three (O gboni mji o dg ta), illustrating how the third party in the relationship
is the secret (awo) that binds them.
114 ANDREW APTER
worth taking seriously concerns the body of knowledge as corporeal
field. In the exoteric knowledge of giri so, giri is glossed as eye, face, in
front, straight, extending eye and face of the body into the agents forward
orientation toward other interactants; that is, into social space. The next
level of benne so literally refers to the side or profile, extending the
sides of the body and face into left and right axes of the interactive matrix.
Within this emerging corporeal field, the third level of bolo so extends
backwards from the derrire of the paradigmatic social body into a dorsal
as opposed to the frontal axis, synthesizing front to back, as it were,
in the acquisition of knowledge. The fourth level of la parole claire
performs a logical synthesis by combining the left-right and back-forward
axes into a system of corporeal coordinates, thereby framing the body as
it normally engages in movement and action (Hanks l990: 90). What is
missing from this explicit matrix is the up/down axis of above and below,
but we can derive this from the corporeal field as covert dimensions of
embodied knowledge that remain embedded in social space and implicit
in interaction.
In what sense, then, does the corporeal model of knowledge extend to
the broader social contexts and domains of the habitus? Through what
techniques of the body are corporeal schemes put into practice? In recasting
the Dogon body as geometer, I will develop two related arguments that
together account for the power of Dogon deep knowledge and its shifting,
revisionary content. First, I will revisit Griaules material on homesteads
and villages to identify those generative schemes and practical operators
(Bourdieu 1977: 125) serving as structuring structures of the habitus.
Second, I will examine the political dynamics of Dogon villages and districts,
for these charged arenas of competitive action produce the orthodoxies
and heterodoxies of deep-knowledge claims.
If, as Bourdieu (1977: 89) has argued, the house is a privileged locus
for the objectification and embodiment of generative schemes, then the
Dogon homestead should provide a rich source of symbolism for practical
reinterpretation. Like the internal space of the Kabyle house analyzed by
Bourdieu (ibid.: 90-92) and the interactive matrix of the Mayan solar discussed
by Hanks (1990: 95), the Dogon big house (ginu da) represents a concentrated
space of deeply embedded meanings and values. For Griaule, these
meanings are of course mythic and primordial, relating the human form of
Nommo, the Demiurge, the reorganizer of the world to the house plan
with its towers as his limbs; and further relating the heavenly placenta and
its earthly counterpart (which together represent the head and legs of man
lying on his right side) to the kitchen (his head), stable (legs), central rooms
(trunk and belly), store rooms (arms), and entrance (penis). The logic of
the plan is explicitly generative for Griaule, in that the form and structure
of the house manifests an on-going extension of original creation. The
sexualized entryway leads by a narrow passage to a workroom containing
jars of water and grinding stones; these are used to crush new corn, yielding
RETHINKING LA PAROLE CLAIRE 115
a liquid associated with male seminal fluid that is carried to the left-hand
end of the entry where it is poured on the shrine of the ancestors. Such
libations are a way of fertilizing the ancestors, of extending their reproductive
powers forward in time. Griaule explains: Each part of the building
represents an original being germinating and growing from its genitor.
The whole plan is contained in an oval which itself represents the great
placenta from which have emerged, in course of time, all space, all living
beings, and everything in the world (Griaule & Dieterlen 1954: 97-98)20.
A practical reading of domestic space is structural in the sense that
it identifies key oppositions, but following Bourdieu (1977: 90), the meanings
are inhabited, read with the body, in and through the movements and
displacements which make the space within which they are enacted as much
as they are made by it. Of central importance to this dialectic of objectificatio
n
and embodiment is the practical mastery of the fundamental, generative
schemes shaping everyday routinesnot the symbolic oppositions
themselves but their navigation and deployment by the body. Thus from
a practical perspective, inside and outside, empty and full, open and shut,
left and right, are significant when activated, as going in and coming out,
filling and emptying, opening and shutting, going leftwards and going rightwards
,
going westwards and going eastwards, etc. (ibid.: 91). Like
Griaule, we can focus on the body as the organizing scheme of domestic
space, but with Bourdieu, it is the body in motion, in its habituating practical
routines.
Returning to the Dogon house with a more dynamic approach to its
corporeal oppositions, we enter from the male vestibule to the workroom
where the jars and grinding stones used to produce male seminal fluid
for the ancestors are located; turning left we proceed to the central room
(dembere) or room of the belly, moving inside to the female center of
the house: The big central room is the domain and the symbol of the
woman; the store-rooms each side are her arms, and the communicating
door her sexual parts. The central room and the store-rooms together represent
the woman lying on her back with outstretched arms, the door open
and the woman ready for intercourse (Griaule 1965: 94-95). Even from
this minimal sketch we can grasp the implicit meaning of entering a house
from the outside door of the male sexual organ (ibid.: 94) to the inner
belly of the central room as an act of male penetration and copulation,
corresponding to such oppositions as outside and inside, public and private,
active and passive, above and below that are reiterated and semantically
saturated throughout the house. Thus the ceiling is dry and male, associated
with departing smoke and measured produce (red pepper, purple sorrel, yellow
millet) drying on the roof; and also with ancestors on the carved door
and faade of the upper story; the floor inside is moist and female, with
jars of water, the place of fertilization and childbirth: When a child is to

be born, the woman in labor is seated on a stool in the middle of the room,
her back to the north, and is supported by women. The infant is delivered
on the ground and takes possession of its soul in the place where it was
conceived (ibid.: 95). Such a fundamental gendered opposition is also
transposedfrom right to left and left to right, and also along an east-west
axis, when man and woman are lying down in bed: The man lies on his
right side facing west, and the woman on her left side facing east. [. . .]
The man lies on his right side and touches the woman with his left hand,
never with his right. The woman sleeps on her left arm, and touches the
man with her right. They never lie in any other position (ibid.: 95-96).
Notwithstanding the large grain of salt with which we should take such
archetypal characterizations, clearly a set of qualitative oppositions is
associated with this gendered corporeal field, one which also extends back
to front, since the hearth is located at the back of the house, and the woman
delivers with her back to the north, the entrance and front of the house.
Moreover, the impurity of leftness is likely linked to the polluting powers
of menstrual blood, given its charged symbolism in the mens mask society,
when men in red-dyed fiber skirts dance as menstruating women (Paulme
1940: 268-270), and in the strict seclusion of menstruating women for five
days in special menstruation huts (ya punune ginu) located at the east-west
boundaries of the village (ibid.: 264-268), where they figure as hands
(Griaule 1965: 97). And finally, along a vertical axis of gender, we can
discern a key opposition that figures in the larger political terms of Upper
and Lower Sanga, extending from floor to ceiling. If, as Ogotemmli, tells
us, the soil of the ground-floor is the symbol of the earth and of Lb,
restored to life in earth, another reference to the earth as cosmogonic
mother, then the face of the house, which gives its name to the tallest
mask, must be none other than the grand mask of Awa, the primordial
male ancestor, although the name is not provided in this text. Ascending
is thus associated with Awa, descending with Lb.
A key concept of practical logic is that of scheme transfer, by which
generative oppositions like those sketched above are redeployed between
contexts, reproducing the same opposition within a wider or narrower social
space or field. The economy of logic, in its practical applications, refers
to the interchangeability of a core set of generative schemes over a wide
range of social, spatial and semantic domains. Moving, in a sense, from
the inside out, from the core schematic matrix of the household to the
broader arenas of the village and district, we can retrace Griaules interpretive
footsteps, recasting what he saw as a widening series of symbolic correspondence
s
into practical homologies extending from the corporeal field.
The key coordinates of body spaceup/down, left/right, back/frontwith
their associated domestic values, are thereby transposed into co-extensive
political and territorial relations. For Griaule, these correspondences remained
mythic and symbolic: the body of the house was reproduced, pars
pro toto, in the quarter (or section) of each village, in the village at large,
RETHINKING LA PAROLE CLAIRE 117
and in the most inclusive district. As Griaule (1965: 97) explains, Within
the village each quarter is a complete whole, and should be laid out in the
same way as the village, like a separate entity. This layout is none other
than the anthropomorphic template transposed from micro to macro domains.
Like the house, the village (and each of its quarters or sections) replicates
the mythic body in its layout and plan, with the iron-smelting smithy at its
head, the family houses as its chest, the womens menstrual huts as
hands, its central altars as (male and female) genitalia, and its communal
altars as feet (See diagram 1). And like the homestead correctly sited
[. . .] that is to say, open to the north (ibid.: 94), the body of the village
aligns with cardinal points: the head is north, the left and right hands east
and west, and the feet south. In terms of a dynamic corporeal field, a
significant egocentric and sociocentric synthesis is thus achieved, whereby
north is up, south is down, east is left and west is right. Because the body
is lying down on its back, front is also celestial, back is terrestrial. Clearly
the fixity of such schemes is problematicas Ogotemmli tells us, Lower

118 ANDREW APTER
Ogol is almost right, and most of the houses of Upper Ogol face west
to avoid the prevailing rains (ibid.: 96, 92). But again I would emphasize
practical movement over static design; movement in and out, up and down,
back and forth, left and right. From this more active agentive perspective,
we can even predict certain amendments to the village scheme that find
support in Griaules text.
In Griaules diagram, both male and female genitalia are manifest in
complementary altars of the foundational shrinethe male organ in the form
of a cone, the female as a hollowed stone. This dualism replicates the
bisexuality of original twinship, with one gender dominating the other, and
further suggests that the body of the house and village can be male or
female, depending on context21. But if entering the village is like entering
the house, with the males frontal penetration of interior female space, then
we should find maleness outside the village, in marked contrast to female
space at the center. And in fact we do. In a revealing footnote to the
village model, Griaule & Dieterlen (1954: 96, n. 2) explain that out of
respect for the female sex [. . .] and for the women of the village, the male
shrine is often built outside the walls (my emphasis, see also Griaule 1965:
97). Whether or not this explanation is based on ad hoc secondary elaborations,
I see the discrepancy as more consistent with the generative scheme
of entering and exiting. Furthermore, following the logic of scheme transpositio
n,
the same opposition can be inverted without contradiction, as context
and circumstances dictate. Thus from the assembled perspective of
normative politics, of the male regulation of public affairs, men occupy
the center in the mens meeting house, while women are marginalized in
menstruation huts and the inner rooms of the domestic domain. In this
gendered distribution of male authority and order, with men at the center
and women at the margins, a further ethnographic contradiction occurs that
vanishes from a practical point of view. Again, in his normative diagram,
Griaule locates the mens meeting house at the head of the village, which
is above and to the north, whereas in his text, we find such structures in
the central square of the village, and in each public square, presumably
those of each quarter. How can it occupy both positions at oncethe northern
head and the central square? In this case, Griaule is succumbing to
the synoptic illusion (Bourdieu 1977: 97-109), when practical systems of
classification are abstracted into a fixed hierarchy of logical relations apart
from their context-specific validity, and thus appear contradictory. The
mens house can occupy both positions at once because, according to the
coordinates of body space, up is male, north, dry, celestial, associated
with lineage ancestors and authority, and by implication, down is female,
south, moist, terrestrial, associated with childbirth. In effect, the male/
21. Note the male body in GRIAULE & DIETERLEN (1954: 97-98) with female parts,
and the female body in GRIAULE (1965: 94-95).
RETHINKING LA PAROLE CLAIRE 119
female schematism flips between north-south, up-down and centerperiphery
axes, and since Griaule could not diagram the transpositions themselves,
he privileged one location at the expense of the other.
This latter example of scheme transposition shifts into yet another significant
generative contrast that relates the words of men to the blood of
women. Returning to the mens house as centrally located in the Dogon
village, and facing north (Griaule 1965: 98), the elders [who] [. . .] confer
there and take decisions on matters of public interest (ibid.: 97) are necessaril
y
seated, as required by the corporeal coordinates of true speech (CalameGriaule
1986: 63-64) and structurally imposed by the low roof and rafters.
Such true speech, of good words, has a straight path that is cardinally north:
as Griaule (1952: 29) reported from native testimony, la parole de devant
et la parole de derrire [sont] bonnes paroles [. . .] car les traits droits conno
tent
une seule parole, ordonne, droite, parvenant directement lauditeur
qui doit lentendre. In relation to the domestic matrix of gendered orientations,
however, these straight-talking elders resemble women. Like women
giving birth within the house, seated on a stool, supported by other women,
so that the infant is delivered on the ground, the men are seated at the
center of the town, supported by men, delivering good words that are
grounded in a ground plan that evokes the seventh and eighth ancestors,
the master of Speech, and [. . .] the Word itself (Griaule 1965: 98). But
if from the vertical axis of standing and sitting, these men are like women,
from the frontal and dorsal axis of ahead and behind, they again assert their
difference: women give birth with their backs to the north, whereas men
in the speech shelter, at least in principle, face north. It is the lateral axis
of left and right, however, which extends to the most significant contrast
between men and women, purity and pollution, center and periphery, and
finally, good and bad words. For at right angles to the north-facing men,
the womens menstruation shelters establish left and right hands and eastwest
limits of the village. So fundamental is this schematic opposition to
the construction of gendered public space that in the past, when a village
was founded, the [mens] shelter and the womens houses were the first
buildings to be erected (Griaule 1965: 97).
And it is in these primary village coordinates that we find the key
to the power of la parole claire. For the secret contrast to the good
words of men are the bad words of women as divisive, disorderly, polluted
and impurein short, transfigured as menstrual blood. According to
Ogotemmli, the unpleasant smell of the female sexual parts comes from
the bad words heard by the ear, adding that bad words smell and affect
a mans potency (ibid.: 139, 142). Such words are not fertile, but sabotage
procreation, since they are formed by unwanted blood, the result of motherson
incest when the jackal (later called the pale fox) violated the earth.
Bad words thus pass out of the womb in emanations (ibid.: 142). Good
words, by contrast, represent the water of Nummo, which is pure, the female
moisture and blood of procreation, mingling with the male seed to create
120 ANDREW APTER
new life. Since the bad words of menstruating women cause such havoc,
they are exiled to the margins of the village, and after their periods, cleanse
their vaginas with Lannea acida oil which as a sweetener, works like a
good word in combating the bad smell resulting from a bad word (ibid.).
This profound association of bad words with bad blood explains why we
find, at the center of the village, the female shrine as sexual organ, made
of stones on which the fruit of the Lannea acida is crushed (ibid.: 97),
and where the bad blood of women is thus ritually converted into the good
words, or strait speech, of men.
What I am suggesting is that the polluting, transgressive, non-reproductive
menstrual blood of women represents the powerful efficacy of deep knowledge,
as hidden and secret transformative agency in contrast to the reproductive
language of paroles de face. Located at the sides and margins of
the social body, these words have a subversive and destabilizing force as
the negative dialectic of cosmological renewalthe valence that sunders
and takes apart in order to remake and recombine anew, to purify through
ritual reproduction. In sociopolitical terms, such deep knowledge aligns
with dominant sociopolitical cleavages, emphasizing the separation and division
of power competition over the administrative unity of the political body
as a whole, be it the household, ward, village or district. The secret of
deep knowledge in these oppositional contexts is not found in a hidden
doctrine for the privileged few, but in its paradigmatic negation of the status
quo associated with the relevant political authority. If the true words of
men are delivered while sitting, evoking the position of women in labor,
it is because their official words are socially reproductive. By contrast,
the destabilizing words of the left and right are transformative, false by
official standards but sanctified by deeper truth-conditions that remain
impure and off-bounds to the public.
To support this unorthodox rereading of Griaule, we can sketch the basic
contours of Dogon government, focusing on the principal relations of
segmentation between competing groups (politics) and their hierarchical
inclusion within the region or district (administration). Studies of Dogon
sociopolitical organization reveal a complex tapestry of interrelated and
overlapping institutions, including clans and lineages, occupational castes,
various cults and mask societies, indigenes and strangers, mens and womens
associations, as well as households, villages and districts stratified by ageset
s
and in many cases divided between Upper and Lower sections with
complementary ritual domains. Thus in the well-worked region of Sanga,
divided into Upper and Lower sub-regions, we find villages such as Ogol,
Sangui, Ennguel and Bongo, each in turn divided into Upper and Lower
sides, as well as villages such Barkou and Gogoli that are not divided as
such22. As Taits attempted synthesis of the Griaule school literature
reveals, there is a lack of consensus on such key points as whether or not
22. See TAIT (1950: 176-177) for the full list of villages.
RETHINKING LA PAROLE CLAIRE 121
the entire Sanga region is lead by one Hogon or two (for each division),
how his council of elders and officers are recruited, whether or not the Awa
Mens society with its Sigi rites recruits from Upper Sanga exclusively;
and if the Lb cult belongs to Lower Sanga only (Tait 1950). But such
complexities aside, we can abstract a core model of politics and administration
in the Bandiagara cliffs that identifies relations of opposition and
inclusion in the following terms: within the district or region, we find two
main halves (Upper and Lower), segmented into villages, many of which
also split into Upper and Lower divisions, and which in turn break down
into quarters or wards, and further into lineages and lineage segments organized
by households or homesteads of the grandes maisons. Headed by
the Hogon as a fused political and ritual office, the system was administered
through a council of elders that represented the dominant quarters and lineages
of each village, and these presumably were similarly organized around
a senior elder and his representative age-mates, and so forth in a replicating
pattern that applied to the village quarter and even the houses within,
each with its chef de maison. According to this ideal-typical pattern,
authority relations refer to the hierarchical inclusion of houses, quarters and
villages within the Hogons regional jurisdiction, and political relations to
the divisive competition between houses, quarter, villages, even Upper and
Lower divisionsthat is, between units of equivalent status and rankfor
the power to determine public policy and its outcomes.
From this structural framework, derived from Smith (1956, 1960), power
is transformative and divisive, generating factions from below that attempt
to prevail over others, whereas authority is reproductive, containing competitiv
e
politics through the execution of public policy from above, as one
administrative body. As Smith points out, this dialectic of power and authority
informs all levels of political organization; in the Dogon context, these
would include the family and its internal sibling groups up through the
ward, village, and district levels. But what I am suggesting in ritual terms
is that the transgressive potency of power sui generis, opposed to authority
as it violates its categories and constraints, is simultaneously manifest in
menstrual blood and the unbounded powers of the bush, outside of society.
Denise Paulme notes that the olubaru elders in the highest grade of the Sigi
society are not only considered impure (inne puru) and close to death, but
are also immune to menstrual blood and exempt from the taboos that otherwise
apply to hommes vivants. For this reason they are designated to
repair the womens menstruation huts every year, and preside over the sigi
and dama masks that are both powerful and impure. In fact, the red fiber
skirts, evoking the original blood of incest and womens subsequent menstrual
debt to the earth, transform the powerful masked men of the bush
into menstruating women, subject to the same taboos while manifesting their
polluting potency:
Ce caractre impur des masques atteint son maximum le jour o les hommes teignent
en rouge les vtements en fibres de sansevire (jupes, bracelets, etc. [. . .])
122 ANDREW APTER
qui accompagnent le port des masques. Anam punia, menstrues des hommes,
dsigne ce jour de la coloration en rouge des fibres, o les hommes ne se montreront
pas plus au village que ne sy promneraient des femmes menstrues (Paulme
1940: 269).
Paulme further notes that the impure elders of the mask society are
charged with the conservation and transmission of its traditions, linking the
deepest power (nyama) of the deepest secrets to the polluting blood of
women.
The complementary frame, in political terms, of the witchcraft of such
unbridled power is the fertility of administrative authority; the Hogon in
office, the moral order upheld, and the reproductive capacities of men and
women revitalized. In ritual terms, the power of deep knowledge and menstrual
blood must be domesticated and incorporated into the body politic,
brought from the bush into the center of the villagein effect cleansed and
channeled into regeneration. Effective incorporation within the social order
involves a cooling and freshening of the hot redness of Awa, the notion of
tawa in sigi so (Leiris 1992: 72) associated with the humidity and wetness
of cleansed female sexuality. Such a reading of the ardeur-fracheur
opposition (ibid.: 73) is consistent with van Beeks interpretation of the
dama festival as the male appropriation of female reproductive power, but
further identifies menstrual blood with political power and deep knowledge.
We therefore identify the blood of women as a critical component
of ritual reproductiona feature which van Beek cannot really explainand
the domain of deep knowledge not as fixed esoterica (which van Beek could
not find) but as a shifting corpus of generative schemes and pragmatic
functions. What makes deep knowledge powerful is not only its association
with the bush, but its formal, pragmatic and structural opposition to the
authority structures that it enters and revitalizes.
In the broadest context of Upper and Lower Sanga, the Awa mask
associated with sigi and dama clearly mediates political relations between
sub-regional levels; between villages themselves (some perform sigi
together, others apart); and within villages, between their upper and lower
halves, between their quarters, and between lineages. Clearly the crosscutting
sodalities of age-sets are crucial in this process, dividing opposed
sections in political competition and combining them in administrative hierarchy
,
and it is precisely such relations of union and separation that correspond
to freshness and heat, power and authority, outside and inside, deep
words and straight speech, values that are contextually situated in the dominant
coordinates of the corporeal field. And clearly, the very politics of
village fission and rebellion are signaled by new ritual itineraries and routine
s.
But to finally explain how la parole claire relates to the semantic
and corporeal schemes of the habitus, in the overt symbolic if unstable
elaborations which Griaules ethnophilosophical investigations brought to
RETHINKING LA PAROLE CLAIRE 123
light, we need to return to the generative conditions of orthodox and heterodox
discourses.
In Bourdieus initial theory of practice, the world of the habitusthe
house, the village, the farming cycle and agricultural ritualsis paradigmatically
silent. Implicitly embedded in social space and time, through the
practical taxonomies shaping everyday routines, practical consciousness
exists in the body, as a set of habituated dispositions rather than an explicit
ideology or body of ideas. In an oft-quoted statement, what is essential
goes without saying because it comes without saying [. . .] the play of
mythico-ritual homologies constitutes a perfectly closed world, each aspect
of which is, as it were, a reflection of all the others (Bourdieu 1977: 167,
original emphasis). In such a field of internalized doxa, there can be no
deep knowledge of la parole claire, reflecting on the secrets of empowerment
and reproduction, unless either culture contact or class formation
calls the given world into question. If Bourdieu has been criticized for
hypostasizing such an organic idiom for the traditional pre-modern world,
or incorporated into a more realistic theory of hegemony (Comaroff &
Comaroff 1991: 23-27), his insight stands as a theoretical definition of the
embodied forms of practical consciousness. As such, it remains characteristicall
y
uncritical: The adherence expressed in the doxic relation to the
social world is the absolute form of recognition of legitimacy through misrecogn
ition
of arbitrariness, since it is unaware of the very question of legitimacy,
which arises from competition for legitimacy, and hence from conflict
between groups claiming to possess it (Bourdieu 1977: 168).
As I have argued in a Yoruba context (Apter 1992a: 228, n. 7), the
critical calling into question of doxathe meanings and values embedded
in the habitusis not limited to contact or class formation, but is also
found in the dialectics of power and authority motivating segmentary opposition
and administrative hierarchy. Competition for power seeks the revision
of authority structures just as administrative authority contains power
competition, thus along the dominant political cleavages and lines of segmentati
on
we will find heterodox challenges to the orthodoxy of the status
quo. In the Dogon context, such challenges could be leveled against the
chef de maison within a homestead, between lineage elders of a quarter or
village, or against the Hogon of Upper Sanga by a hunter or priest of Lower
Sangaperhaps by Ogotemmli himself. My point is not to document such
challenges, since I can only infer such relations from the data (see also
Jolly 1998-1999, 2004; Jolly & Guindo 2003), but to establish the political
conditions in which they arise, as a heterodox field of destabilizing discourses
against the straight speech of men. Through the ritual articulation
of political competition and mediation, the deep knowledge of la parole
claire destabilizes the very ground of political authority by reflecting on
the generative schemes of the habitus, endowing them with explicit mythic
content, and shifting their meanings to remake the body politic. That such
renewal is always transformative and reproductive, hot and cool, polluting
124 ANDREW APTER
and purifying, powerful and authoritative, does not detract from the power
of deep knowledge, but locates it within a dynamic arena of competitive
politics and material relations.
*
Leach (1958: 120) has said that good ethnography sustains alternative
analyses and interpretations, including those that controvert the original
author. Thus he praised Malinowskis Trobriand fieldwork while refuting
his extensionsist kinship thesis in a rival analysis of social category terms.
In a sense, I have pursued a similar strategy, affirming the value of Griaules
Dogon studies and the enduring legacy of la parole claire in an alternative
reading of its indexical functions, privileging pragmatic over semantic
categories as shifting coordinates of a corporeal field. Despite the growing
criticism of Griaules colonial epistemology, his ahistoricism, the violence
of his strategies and tactics, and the paternalism of his sympathetic quest
problems that belong to anthropologys history more generallyhis investigations
into Dogon deep knowledge are not so easily swept aside, but provide
a body of knowledge, a corpus inscriptionum (to reinvoke Malinowski
[1961: 24]), that sustains productive reanalysis and reinterpretation.
In my own re-reading of selected texts and passages, including those
of Leiris and Calame-Griaule, the body of knowledge takes center stage not
as a collection of secrets or a symbolic cipher, but as the indexical ground
of deictic reference, generating and transforming social space and political
context through ritual performance and incantation, and thus challenging
and revising authority structures through idioms of cosmological renewal.
When secret knowledge is liberated from its ideology of fixed and determinate
content, it can be seen as a socially sanctioned rhetorical resource that
is unstable and destabilizing because it redeploys the practical homologies
of the habitus, drawing on the left hand and the polluting blood of women
to reshape the social and political body. In this capacity, la parole claire
sustains a grammatical space of critical practice and agency, which if lost
on Griaule in his search for hidden symbols, remains equally lost on his
critics and detractors.

ABSTRACT
How do we read Griaules uvre, and assess its ethnographic legacy? What can
we gain from his ethnophilosophical project? To answer these questions, I propos
e
a critical re-reading of his Dogon ethnography and a new model of the esoteric
knowledge that he purported to reveal. My re-reading is based on two methodologi
cal
moves that recast Griaules exegetical project in more socially dynamic terms.
The first move, based on my Yoruba research in Nigeria, is that esoteric levels
of
African philosophical systems are actually indeterminate and unstable, and that
this
capacity to contradict or subvert official or exoteric knowledge renders secret
knowledge
transformative and thus powerful. The second methodological move shifts the
Griaule schools elaborate analysis of Dogon language and symbolism to the level
of pragmatic analysis, locating dominant symbols, schemas and ritual speech-genr
es
in their performative contexts. Focusing on speech-acts, locatives, and pronomin
al
shifting, as well as on Dogon ideas about linguistic performance, we can return
to
the rich Dogon material and derive a dynamic model of critical agency as an endu
ring
legacy of la parole claire.
RSUM
Lhritage de Griaule : repenser la Parole claire dans les tudes dogon. Comment
lire luvre de Griaule et valuer son hritage ethnographique ? Que peut-on tirer
de son projet ethnophilosophique ? Pour rpondre ces questions, je propose une
relecture critique de son ethnographie dogon ainsi quun nouveau modle du savoir
sotrique quil prtendit rvler. Ma relecture sappuie sur deux approches mthodologiques
qui redfinissent le projet exgtique en des termes socialement plus dynamiques.
La premire approche, qui se fonde sur ma recherche sur les Yoruba au
Nigeria, sappuie sur lhypothse selon laquelle les niveaux sotriques des systmes
philosophiques africains sont en ralit indtermins et instables, et cette capacit
contredire ou bouleverser le savoir officiel ou sotrique rend le savoir secret opra
toire
et donc puissant. La seconde approche mthodologique fait passer lanalyse
labore de la langue et du symbolisme dogon de lcole de Griaule au niveau de
lanalyse pragmatique, plaant les symboles et schmas dominants ainsi que les genres
discursifs rituels dans leurs contextes perfomatifs. En nous concentrant sur les
actes de langage, les locatifs, le glissement pronominal et les ides quont les Dog
on
de leur mise en scne linguistique, nous pouvons revenir sur les riches matriaux
dogon et en tirer un modle dynamique de laction critique comme lhritage durable
de la parole claire .
