North African History and Afrocentrism

[Apollo]

And what were the original Ancient Egyptians then?

Egyptians?

 

[Halimak]

I broke your argument about black egyptians

I wasn't arguing anything. I was confused as to why three ancient Greeks would say they were black/dark. What reasoning would they have for that?

 

[Halimak]

Egyptians?

In terms of origin/skin colour ect.
Where they Indo-European, Cushites or ancient Semites ect.

 

[SOMALI GENERAL]

In terms of origin/skin colour ect.

None. They were always their own group not a part of the groups you mentioned. In terms of skin colour they were typically brown.

I think they looked the most like Yemenis, but less challenged in height.

Copts still get close matches with Yemenite Jews when all populations of the world are compared against them.

To compare them to Yemenis in terms of appearance is an insult

If they were Yemeni colour, then I can understand why Ancient Greeks would classify them as black.

Their skintone? Yemenis are not black, but they are dark.

Yemenis who aren't mixed with Zanj/Akhdam aren't that dark, excluding the Mahra and Soqotri.

Where do you think Habeshas get their light skin from and why are Benadiris called ''Cadcads''?

 

[Juke]

Dark skin Caucasians

Cadcads are lightskin going by Somali standards. The average Yemeni/Emirati/ Omani is dark compared to other Arabs, let alone Greeks.

It would have been the case even more so as people toiled in the sun with no access to air-cons.

Imagine that the Hindus reached us and we would be bootyclapping for India and have abtiris to Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Saraswati

*Indians managed to make Bali Hindu.

Loooool, he's been muted. Don't worry you're not the only one.

Indians managed to make most of southeast asia Hindu (Buddhist to a lesser extent). When Columbus was looking for India he was actually looking for Indonesia.

The way India spread their religion and culture without war is pretty impressive, they are the least war-like people in the World and got conquered by practically everyone

the reasoning for that is that they never really developed or moved forward nigas where still using bronze age tactics against the british plus with a class ridged system talented and skilled people never really put into good use
