My bad for misunderstanding you. Yeah this article is extremely weird saying that it was a Roman trading port. The Romans couldn't even get past the Nubians, then how the hell were they able to colonize Southeast Africa???:what:

They also mention Felix Chami who nowhere agrees that it was a Roman city... Yes, the Romans called that area "Rhapta", but they NEVER controlled it.
i digged a little and found the bytch who wrote the articles twitter. that article she didn't tweet :jbhmm:

white supremacist are all around us and could be any one of them. distort and outright lie about african history like it ain't nothin. oh and she has a masters in journalism. so this is the kind of educated bigot thats out there influencing the public.

but hidden colors isn't necessary :pachaha:

This is a port city, correct? I don't think it is unimaginable that the Romans did travel there for trade, because they traded with kingdoms along the red sea coast Axum(modern day Ethiopia and Eritrea and , so it is not really a big stretch of imagination whether they traveled and traded with the people in that region, which they probably heard about them from kingdoms along the red sea coast. As far as conquering i don't believe they had the resources for that endeavor.

thats not whats being said. she said it was a roman trading city. in no way would anybody call any place after the name of a visitor. theres no angle where rome would be the focus on it's commerce being situated on the indian ocean.

Whats being said is that the city was OWNED by the Romans, which not even Roman sources state that... Yeah trade, maybe. But large scale colonization of the area and massive migration down the East coast of Africa? Highly unlikely.

She looks clueless and most likely did not even interpret Roman sources correctly. I doubt shes a white supremacist, but some clueless Eurocentric.

The city of Dangeil which they just found in the 1990's so it is going to take many years for it to be excavated but they are concentrated on the temple now, but other groups are also concentrated of the general ancient city, which is huge over 24 football fields size and many of the building well preserve, but i don't think you really have a understanding of the terrain further north which is desert, in other words the access is not very easy in some parts. Even in Egypt Kidstranglehold, not everything is fully excavated and they still finding important objects till this day. Now Kidstranglehold it also depends on which university or organization doing the excavation for example the temple of Soleb is fully excavated along with the pyramids especially during the early part of century, unlike you i follow this all the time especially from blogs from Archaeologist both local and international. Again Kidstrangleshold, Kerma is one monument, among the many different monuments in Sudan, which means each archaeologist may be a specialist or focus on a particular time period of the country. In other words, some Archaeologist may focus on Kerma, others Jebel Barkal, others Amara West, others pyramids, other Christian period etc. There is alot to cover, and each organization are in charge of a particular monument.


Just to let you know kidstranglehold there is not many ancient cities found in Egypt. I thinking you are getting the monuments such as temples confused for actual cities. I agree Egypt do get a great deal of funding than us, but there is not accuse for other African countries to not have similar discipline even with limited funding.


It is obvious you are not as well verse in the monuments in Sudan, and which institutions stewardship of the different monuments of the country.



In honesty who Sudan get most of our funding and who some of you guys love to demonize "Arabs" from Qatar and Saudi Arabia. LOL

Ironic
Just seems like your trying to discredit "black" African people from any and everything You have a list of excuses everytime. Black natives never creating anything in Africa if you had it your way.

How long before a known rapper mentions it...

2000 years ago we were making gold in Rahpta, My ancestors stolen, shipped, whipped after being captured. Modern day worshipers every Sunday, they giving gold, waiting on the Rapture. Nah not me, I'm gonna make my gold being a rapper.
