Real Talk: Who built the Pyramids?

[GreatestIam]

Think of a society of people that build clay models and oneday think to do the same thing in 130 degree weather but bigger it hardend and you have the pyramids!!

[Dorian]

Impossible, simply impossible.

[D.I.E.S.E.L]

Impossible, simply impossible.

Dorian look at it this way; if you were alive back then and proclaimed that one day humans just like you would be able to build a ship that would take you to the moon and back, you know what would happen? The kings, pharoahs would not only say its impossible but they'd say you're insulting their intelligence...then they'd bury you alive in a pit.

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.

Your problem is that you have a very limited knowledge of Africans. Your view is based on outdated scholarship. During ancient times, there was no notion of race. People were defined based on where they came from. The term "black African" is an oxymoron. So called black Africans are the most diverse people on the planet. Their skin tones range from light brown to pitch black. Their hair texture range from curly to wooly. Genetic studies have confirmed these phenotypes are indigenous and not the result of admixture. You keep referring to the term Negroid. Negroid along with the terms Caucasoid and Mongoloid are rarely used in academia. Why? Because genetic studies have rendered them useless in classifying humans. Because Africans display such a wide range of phenotypes, many do not fit the Negroid morphology. You really need to read the latest studies on this and stop relying on eye-ball anthropology. Displaying Egypt in its African context is not Afrocentric. I'm not saying the AE's were black because I don't subscribe to the notion of race as it applies to humans. However, they were indigenous and not mixed until after Pharonic times. In today's racial paradigm, they would be considered black (socially).

It is a fact that all humans have a recent origin in Africa. Therefore, when addressing phenotypical differences, it is most logical to assume an African origin. This is the correct premise in terms of logical burden of proof and the rule of parsimony. Generally, when people speculate on the external origins of those things found in Africa, they violate the burden of proof and the rule of parsimony. The reason they do this is because they continue to reflect an inherited European discourse (being that the "race" is a European invention). Once you recondition your mind based on the above, I believe you'll have a better understanding of Africans.

Are you claiming theres no such thing as race, but modern Egyptians are mixed race?

Both are wrong, and Im not contradicting myself.

Because you said so? I don't think so. There is no such thing as race. It absolutely fails under scientific scrutiny. I'm claiming the AE's were not mixed. I said nothing about modern Egyptians.
