    Default Re: Black Egyptians

    I have to say that I have found this thread rather....puzzling. There has been an inordinate amount of hostility, and a deal of what can best be described as double-talk.

    It seems that we ought not use the term 'black' as it is a modern referential, but yet one can talk about actual 'black' civilisations..... that seems contradictory to me.

    It seems that one can definitively and categorically ascribe what is not 'black', but one cannot say what is. Again, that seems a contradiction.

    It appears that when Egyptian culture identifies itself in art as 'black' that it is a stretch to equate that with them being 'black', but any iconography that depicts them as in some way not 'black' requires careful argumentation as to why that is...

    Am I missing something here?
