Quote by: underbear1 Egypt launched Greek culture http://www.digitalegypt.ucl.ac.uk/na...s/uc16469.html Kouros is the ancient Greek term for a statue of a standing young man, generally depicted naked. It was used in Archaic Greece as both a dedication to the gods in sanctuaries and temples and as a tomb monument. The standard kouros stood with his left foot forward, arms at his sides and looking straight ahead. Kouroi belong to the earliest examples of monumental Greek sculpture. The similarity of these statues to Egyptian statues is striking. This close relation seems especially clear in this example, with kilt and hair in Egyptian style.
, and fed and financed Alexander and Rome. So proving Blacks had well established sophisticated society long before most of what we date European or Western culture knocks a big hole in your premise they were in the stone age 100 years ago. Moors were known in Shakespeare's day, and Ethiopean Jews date back as old as Judism itself.
You also seem to be missing large gaps of American History as well as World History. It was illegal to teach slaves to read, it was also forbidden that they could speak their native languages, or religions. How much of your culture would have survived 200 years of that treatment? Add another 100 years of Blacks being unable to attend the superior white schools, and red lined by realitors from buying homes in better white neighborhoods. |
Who is talking about what happened in the ancient world? I'm not. It's completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand. Again, you're using small populations (again, northern African tribes with strong middle eastern influences) to ignore the fact that the vast majority of Africa was people by stone age tribesmen. This is boring. If you have anything relevant to add, please do so.
