Real Talk: Who built the Pyramids?

[-Huey-]

The Ancient Egyptians drew pictures of man. They drew themselves brown and the Nubians black. Then theres the most damning evidence, the bodies. I don't study skulls so I will make no comment on them, but the hair... Its not Nubian hair.

However, we are all human so any achievment of man is an achievment of us all. If China or India puts a man on Mars, thats not an Asian achievment, its all of ours.

Exactly, but good luck getting that through these racist ****s' minds.

Strawman!!

Attacking the credentials of your source is not a strawman. A strawman is when someone builds up a "fake claim" and tears it down. For instance you talk about Nancy w/e and I bash Bill Nye the science guy and phrase it as though you talked about him as your source.

I have not only been to many museums including the smithsonian and the louvre which have huge stores of Egyptian artifacts, I have seen many documentaries and took a history course in college which had the Egyptians in it.

Trying to say that they were black is like trying to convince someone that the sky is green. Its a lie and its a joke.

Also you don't get to classify what is black and what isn't. Everyone knows what is black and that is not even close to what they were.

Then explain this citation:

Analysis of skeletal and cranial remains reveals that the ancient Egyptians of the early Dynastic and pre-Dynastic phases, link closer to nearby Saharan, Sudanic and East African populations than Mediterranean and Middle Eastern peoples. Greeks, Romans, Hyskos, Arabs and others were to appear later in Egyptian history. Craniometric studies generally place ancient Upper Egyptian populations closer to the range of tropical Africans in the Nile Valley and East Africa than to Mediterraneans, or Middle Easterners.

I'm not explaining shit.

[Jim Jeffries]

The Africans do have a Great Ancient Civilization, the Great Zimbabwe Civilization was around 1500 BC.

More like 1100 AD, but hey, who's counting? The Zimbabwe ruins are magnificent though, pictures really don't do them justice.

Eye-ball anthropology is unreliable. You can't even dispute what I've said. Your mind is not evolved enough to even look into what I've said. The research is out there. This information comes from reputable bio-anthropologists, population geneticists, ect. You can't dispute facts with strawman arguments. You can't even argue the citations I've provided.

Then STFU because you clearly don't know what you're talking about.

When you attack someone's credentials, you provide evidence of your claim. Personal opinions are not facts.

Ironically, this is an example of a strawman. My claim was that you were incorrect in claiming Huey used a strawman. You countered by quoting me and claiming something outside the scope of my claim (personal opinions are not facts(well, no duh)).
