British Empire Strikes Back wrote:The ancient Egyptians were White. The Nubians were Black Africans, and the Egyptians (argurably) had the better and more advanced civilisation. Can you think of one thing that was invented by a Black person? One thing that we use today? I am not saying Black people are bad, but to say that European culture comes from Africans is preposterous. In my opinion, European culture is far more interested and "cultured" than African culture.
Herodotus referred to Egyptians, Nubians and Ethiopians as Aethiopian, "dark skinned" so as far as the Greeks were concerned Egyotians were as "black" as Nubians.
Its important to note though that the Greeks did not divide the world on racial lines, only by continent.
