Real Talk: Who built the Pyramids?

[-Huey-]

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

I am not gonna argue with you over garbage citations that are not even legit. Do you have a high quality source to back this idiotic fictional crap you most likely copied and pasted from wikipedia?

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.

When I said, "Sub-Saharan Africans are the most genetically diverse people on the planet, what do you think I mean? Do you know what "diverse" means? You can't comment on something you know nothing about. You just overlooked the study I provided linking the Ancient Egyptians with Ancient Nubians.

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.

You just snatched this poor bastard's soul.

...End of thread...
This is ownage in so many levels.

You are such an idiot. Google Keita, he's the most reputable source out there. These citations come from actual studies, not wikipedia. Just another red herring on your part.

Here's another one for you:

Ancient Egyptian civilization was indigenous with continuity among its peoples, not an influx of Middle Easterners, Europeans or other outsiders like Arabs until relatively late in history

QUOTE(s):
"Some have argued that various early Egyptians like the Badarians probably migrated northward from Nubia, while others see a wide-ranging movement of peoples across the breadth of the Sahara before the onset of desiccation. Whatever may be the origins of any particular people or civilization, however, it seems reasonably certain that the predynastic communities of the Nile valley were essentially indigenous in culture, drawing little inspiration from sources outside the continent during the several centuries directly preceding the onset of historical times..." (Robert July, Pre-Colonial Africa, 1975, p. 60-61)


"overall population continuity over the Predynastic and early Dynastic, and high levels of genetic heterogeneity, thereby suggesting that state formation occurred as a mainly indigenous process."
(Zakrzewski, S.R. (2007). "Population continuity or population change: Formation of the ancient Egyptian state". American Journal of Physical Anthropology 132 (4): 501-509)

"the peoples of the steppes and grasslands to the immediate south of Egypt domesticated cattle, as early as 9000 to 8000 B.C. They included peoples from the Afroasiastic linguistic group and the second major African language family, Nilo-Saharan (Wendorf, Schild, Close 1984; Wendorf, et al. 1982). Thus the earliest domestic cattle may have come to Egypt from these southern neighbors, circa 6000 B.C., and not from the Middle East.[148] Pottery, another significant advance in material cultural may also have followed this pattern, initiatied "as early as 9000 B.C. by the Nilo-Saharans and Afrasians who lived to the south of Egypt. Soon thereafter, pots spread to Egyptian sites, almost 2,000 years before the first pottery was made in the Middle East."
(Christopher Ehret, "Ancient Egyptian as an African Language, Egypt as an African Culture," in Egypt in Africa, Theodore Celenko (ed), Indiana University Press, 1996, pp. 25-27)

Easy there wiki pusher...just a mere observation.

That's because you can't argue with the facts I've provided. Your pathetic attempt to attack the citations makes you look foolish.

Open your mind and stop believing that Eurocentric garbage you've been fed over the years. It is the plan of the Eurocentric discourse to remove Egypt from Africa and make it part of a fabricated, ahistorical construct know as the "Middle East".

Hair and the 'true negro'
"Strouhal (1971) microscopically examined some hair which had been preserved on a Badarian skull. The analysis was interpreted as suggesting a stereotypical tropical African-European hybrid (mulatto). However, this hair is grossly no different from that of Fulani, some Kanuri, or Somali and does not require a gene flow explanation any more than curly hair in Greece necessarily does. Extremely "woolly" hair is not the only kind native to tropical Africa."
