It is crazy how diverse Africa is...
this is true
this nikka looks just like this nikka from the side
also this nikkalooks just like this nikka from the side
and also thislooks just like this
looks just like
my nikka here rocking the big puffy fro like these nikkas
the only cacs could still say Ancient Egypt was not black was to make all these nikkas into white.
I'm obviously being facetious. I don't really believe they are caucasian. I'm simply stating that there happen to be some people who think so. There are a number of white historians from the 1800s and 1900s that believed they were when they created the so-called "Hamitic Hypothesis." And that shyt still continues today in some anthropology circles because East Africans skulls look very similar to European skulls. So rather than accepting the fact that they descended from black Africans, whites instead feel better if instead it was whites that went back into Africa and somehow got nappy hair and black skin again.
its weird that we even have to say that considering the fact everyone who lived around them at the time said they were black
go to your local library and find some books in the Ancient Greece section.....go to the index and just find the pages were they talk about Ancient Egypt.....there are countless mentions of them being black skin and wooly haired.......I did this after reading Afro-centric books as a kid just to make sure what the authors were saying was a legit.......I opened up Herodutus's book on World History....went over to the Ancient Egypt section and just as they said, he said the inhabitants of Egypt were a black skin wooly haired race not to different from the Ethiopians that lived to the South
and for those that don't know the word Ethiopia (or Abyssinia) literally means "land of the burnt faces"
it was a non-specific term the Greeks used to describe all black people not just those that resided in the Horn
It appears that all black people in Africa are decadents of Nile based civilizations, the Horn of Africa, and Ethiopia. For some reason, white anthropologist try to separate this fact of where the central and west Africans came from as well.
Not true. Niger-Congo people split long before Niolitic people did their thing. Sudan (which was larger in Ancient times) was the place where this all happened, though.
How do you explain the use and similarity in pictograms with nilolitic people and tribes from what is now eastern Nigeria?
Pictograms can be preserved and change slightly because of its symbolism even though language can change. Just like the peace sign and other symbols have become universal regardless of language. The British did everything they could to suppress, take away and destroy nsibidi that by the time my fathers generation was going into grade school it was just about dead. Europeans are more aware of the links and will do what it takes to hide it by giving you shyt like Niger-Congo to separate people. If they tomorrow called the group Ape-Gorilla we would roll with it because the white man said so. If you can't trust these people in the small things, we cannot trust them in larger things including the origins of the original man and his journey throughout the African continent and beyond.
Breh stop. Most of us aint from the same ethnic groups as the Horners. We have tons of West African empires to be proud of instead of hoisting up AE every damn day. Africa is diverse and the different groups of people of "Sub-Saharan" origin are more different than the Black population versus White population as a whole. As for the similarity in pictograms, culture travels and being in the same environment (Sudan) most likely lead to similar pathology of religion, culture, etc..
Europeans are not "Caucasian".
Breh, I am very proud of my culture. If we as black people are to be together, we must be able to find historical linkers outside of skin color and hair that links us together. That is what I am trying to add to this discussion. It all started with one man, one language and became many.
Yeah but at some point, long before the first civilization, we split. It's all Sub-Saharan people but I would never take credit for my cousins accomplishments, especially when my lineage has its own to laud.
