Especially when cac history claims Mesopotamia as the cradle of civilization.

um Not according to Ancient Greek figures

During what is know as the Dark Ages is Greece, many travelled down to and lived in Egypt learning knowledge from preists.

Aristotle credits Egypt as being the "cradle of Mathematics"

the term "geometry" is actually a homage to Egypt. Meaning "earth measure"

Thales who influenced Socrates, Plato, Aristotle etc etc travelled down to Egypt and was taught down there. He didnt write much or a lot of what he wrote was lost so most the information he learned from Egypt that he passed down was through word of mouth and many were recommended to go to Egypt to learn from those they were taught from and influenced by.

"Thales went to Egypt and studied with the priests, where he learned of mathematical innovations and brought this knowledge back to Greece. Thales also did geometrical research and, using triangles, applied his understanding of geometry to calculate the distance from shore of ships at sea. This was particularly important to the Greeks, whether the ships were coming to trade or to do battle. Thales advised Anaximander's student, Pythagoras, to visit Egypt in order to continue his studies in mathematics and philosophy.

While Thales was in Egypt, he was supposedly able to determine the height of a pyramid by measuring the length of its shadow when the length of his own shadow was equal to his height. Thales learned about the Egyptian rope-pullers and their methods of surveying land for the Pharaoh using stakes and ropes. Property boundaries had to be re-established each year after the Nile flooded. After Thales returned to Greece about 585 BC with notes about what he had learned, and Greek mathematicians translated the rope-and-stake methods of the rope pullers into a system of points, lines and arcs. They also took geometry from the fields to the page by employing two drawing tools, the straightedge for straight lines and the compass for arcs. (See Constructions with compass and straightedge). The Greeks named their paper explorations "geometry" for "earth measure," in honor of the Egyptians from whom the knowledge came."

That is Greek history I'm talking about cac history...:usure: There is a difference.

That's the scariest part. There's scores of erased history we gotta uncover slowly. Can't wait for the Sahara to be fully explored. Find the orgigins of Egypt and all that.

I sometimes fear most of the stuff is lost forever, like when Spaniards burned down shyt in South America when they got there :snoop:

I find it very ironic and hypocritical with Egypt and Greece. How Westerners are so sure that Ancient Egypt was a Near East/Non-African product while Greece was pure European product. We have evidence from archaeology, linguistics, anthropology, and more recently genetics, that in prehistoric times there were waves of migration into Greece from Asia Minor (modern day Turkey). And that overall, culturally as well as genetically, Greeks are more Near Eastern than ancient Egypt ever was. Its ironic that for the longest Westerners have been calling Egypt a "Near-Eastern" civilization yet emphasize ancient Greece as being European. One can point out many examples of Greece having strong foreign influence.

Greece is emphasized as being European because it's a European country (as in, it's in the continent of Europe). But no one in their right mind will deny the influence the middle-east and Turkey among others have had/have on Greece and therefore on Europe. Hell Cyprus is in the EU and it's closer to the Middle-East than it is to continental Europe. "Europe" is not only Paris Berlin and London, just see how the Turks go from saying they are European to saying they are not, depending on political context (and how the EU gets closer or further to their integration in the EU - but it's been part of the Council of Europe for ages). And most history classes I've had specify the influence Eastern cultures and civilisations and places like Egypt or Timbuktu had on Greece.

Another thing that happens is the media hides the fact that many present day Egyptians look like this. I actually know a black Egyptian and a family member went to Egypt and said a lot of them looked like this.

This is only surprising to people who don't have a clue about Africa tbh, same in all of Northern Africa. Hell I have an Egyptian friend who insists on being called an African and not an Arab.

Which brings me to this point: a lot of the wrongful portrayal of what Egypt was/is is being done by Arab countries, especially Saudi Arabia, who inject millions in order to get those countries closer to them. Friends from Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria have all told me that their countries have gone from a mediterranean/african identity to an "arab" one, even when said "arab" identity is hell-bent on crushing local identities (see for example Western Sahara and the situation of local languages). They tell me the media invasion (with "soap operas" and religious shows) have had a HUGE impact on making the countries more "arab" while they are not ethnically or culturally the same originally. So in some strange way Europe and Arab countries are working hand in hand in "De-Africanising" Egypt and Northern Africa. Unfortunately, it works, a lot of Northern Africans I've known will refuse being categorized as "Africans" (except to participate in African sport competitions) and will call themselves "Arabs".

Good bye Coli(2014-2020)
THOSE EAST AFRICANS YOU SPEAK OF ARE CURRENTLY ADMIXED WITH ARABIANS.
MY GIRL IS ERITREAN & SHE'LL TELL YOU THAT...
THEY DIDNT LOOK LIKE THAT IN BACK THOSE TIMES.





Do you exactly know how East Africans looked back then? And when you say East African you have to elaborate, because Kenya and Uganda are also East Africa. Anyways Eritreans and Amhara are the only admixed people of the horn, though they are the minority unlike Somalis, Oromos, Afar and other Cushyte speakers. Those people I listed have narrow features, but its due to indignous built-in diversity. @Clean Cut is right about their narrow noses.
