Real Talk: Who built the Pyramids?

[Flawless*]

Honestly, your argument makes no sense whatsoever. Black is not Negroid. Black is not a real race, it’s a broad term to describe dark individuals from Africa. Africa the most diverse continent in the word, not all Black people are genetically related. I could easily post pictures of Africans in West and South Africa with Caucasian features.



Nearest relatives to Ancient Egyptians along with Nubians, Bejas and others.

Also there are tonnes of Ancient Egyptians artifacts that resembles people who have Negroid features. Your propaganda video is destroyed alone by my video,

this is thread bombing to its finest. how the **** did the construction of the pyramids become a race war?

These are in Sudan from around 1000 BC, not reknowned for its pale skinned population and bordering Egypt. Possibly influenced by Egyptian building but still made with similar ingenuity and skill:

Sudan's past uncovered
By Lawrence Pollard

It is Africa's largest country. It has more pyramids than Egypt. But Sudan is not in the headlines for its heritage.

A new exhibit of ancient Sudanese artefacts at the British Museum in London is hoping to go some way to change this.

"Sudan is not well known in the West, and unfortunately if it is known, it's only for very bad things. Now is an opportunity to show another face of the Sudan - one of civilisation."

As director of fieldwork for the national museum in Khartoum, Dr Saleh Mohammed Ahmed is familiar with the treasures loaned to the British Museum.

When the show was first mooted five years ago, it was hoped it might mark the signing of a peace treaty ending the civil war.

Instead, the news is full of the crisis in Darfur, while some of the country's most exciting archaeological sites are about to disappear under a dam project.

And a few months ago, the Khartoum museum was robbed of dozens of major pieces.

Cohabitation

In various ways, the show at the British Museum sheds light on each of these issues.

Curator Derek Welsby points out a big white bone at the entrance to the gallery.

It is a fossil giraffe bone, next to a picture of where it was found in the arid moonscape of the Sudanese desert.

"What this shows us is that once upon a time, what is now one of the most arid places on the planet had a population of big game with people fishing and hunting," he says.

You can see how fluid the climate is, and how this causes all sorts of problems to present-day populations as it did to people in the past."

This lends a sobering historical perspective to the struggles over land occupation in Darfur, but elsewhere in the gallery there is more hopeful evidence of a history of mutual tolerance between Sudan's ethnic and religious groups.

By the 10th Century, there were three Christian kingdoms in the area, and on display is a ***eller's mould found in a Christian site and used for casting Koranic inscriptions.

Clear evidence, says Mr Welsby, of cohabitation.

"We've got Christian sites where there are clearly ******s living as part of the resident population. We have ****** tombstones found adjacent to ones inscribed in Greek, old Nubian and Coptic, for example."

New history

One of the least-known areas of Sudan is the inhospitable region round the fourth cataract of the Nile.

This area is about to flooded by a 160km-long (100 mile) lake for a hydroelectric dam.

Just as 40 years ago when the temples at Abu Simbel in Egypt were threatened by the Aswan dam, rescue archaeologists are hard at work.

And they are finding astonishing riches in the dry, termite-free area they thought was empty of artefacts.

"We are rewriting the history of Sudan, finding materials from all periods," says Dr Saleh.

They have discovered fortresses, cities, cemeteries and even a pyramid where they thought there was nothing.

And its all about to be obliterated.

Political challenges

Neil Macgregor, director of the British Museum, hopes the exhibition will alert the world to this archaeological race against time, but he is mindful of other priorities, too.

The British Museum is waiving its entry fee in place of a suggested donation to relief charities in Darfur.

"Whatever happens politically, it's going to be more important than ever to understand what this country is about. That's what this exhibition is for."

As in the cases of Iraq and Iran, the international community of archaeologists and scholars is working to keep lines of communication open during politically difficult times.

And the pieces stolen from Khartoum?

Fifty-seven of them were recovered two weeks ago in Omdurman, just outside Khartoum, safe and intact.

Some good news at least from Sudan, at a time when it is in short supply.

Lol...his argument belongs in 1911, not 2011. Both he and Huey (aka Subtraction) are stuck on ******.

Huey is Subtraction? Subtraction=Jack, i thought he left this site?

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

Black is negroid, like you. They were not black and its obvious. Keep on trolling though. Your lies are weak.

Forget the wording in the video, just LOOK at the paintings and sculptures. Do those look BLACK to you? Look at the hair, do blacks have long straight hair? Or noses like that? Or light skin like that?

END OF THREAD////////

I mean what more do you want. I think the best line is "Mummies don't lie".

The sad thing is, you can make more of an argument for the ancient Egyptians being white supremacists than black...lol

They hated Nubian Africans, you can see it everywhere. I remember touring the King Tut exhibit here in Ft. Lauderdale when it came down and there were a few images that the tour guide even said we might be offended by.

They were images of Egyptians killing, enslaving and running over black Africans with their chariots. He said there was no political correctness back in the day and people might be offended by looking at these images.

It was apparent that there was a clear distinction between black Africans and Egyptians. It's the same Afrocentric racists that claim this, that claim that Native Mexicans couldn't have possibly built the pyramids and needed the black man's help to do it.....lol

What a ***in joke.

[Flawless*]

You have to kidding, me. Mummies don't lie.

Look at this video, these people resemble ancient Egyptians more than anyone in the world and are considered Black. I mean, some people are just blind to see that obvious facts. This video basically nullifies the ridiculous claims made in those videos. I can find thousands of Africans that would resemble Ancient Egyptians.

Again, do you actually think other Africans were the only ones enslaved by the Egyptians. Historical revisionism at its finest

The sad thing is, you can make more of an argument for the ancient Egyptians being white supremacists than black

People argue if Ancient Egyptians were Black not White. No one would literally dare argue that Ancient Egyptians were White. Plain white skin in the Middle of the desert

[Hous]

Lol...You neither translate, address nor refute, but merely seek to argue by ridicule, which is a logical fallacy and symptom of intellectual bankruptcy.

What must be true from Ta Khents statement above?
A. Intellectual bankruptcy is the only flaw Heuy is guilty of.
B. Ridiculing another is sometimes acceptable in debates.
C. Ta Khent aknowledges his arguement is flawed.
D. Ta Khent and Hous are brothers.

You just gush irony from your finger tips Mr. Khent. You claiming others are guilty of logically fallicies (incorrect leap), when you infact are the one tossing up a strawman here and there. Just as I showed you what a true strawman was you kept to yourself and hopped noone else saw my post. Now you claim his arguement is flawed because he ridicules, in the same sentence you state hes an idiot (which is a blatant ridicule). By your own logic... This means your argument is flawed.

[Hous]

Egyptians were clearly Oriental...
