EBII - The People of North Africa

[danuisortiz]

@123DROCK It's not like egpyt didn't have dark skinned negroid pharoahs, or rulling classes (indeed kush took over egpyt) but its just that they themselves amde clear distinctions between negroid, smeitic, white, and other classes. The majority, as seen, were, well, egyptian.

[Darkfoxx999]

@danuisortiz Well you have to considerer even the caucasian/semetic egyptians would of been fairly dark soley from just the climate of the place they lived in, so people using the argument that the egyptians didn't depecit themselves as white so they msut of been black are sorta mislead, a majority probably where caucasian/semetic, but with that massive dose of rays they're skin probably wasn't nessasirly "white". And by my guess the skin ratios probably got darker as you went closer to Kush

[Ether702]

@Darkfoxx999 ..look at a modern kushite, light skinned arent they? brings up questions

[danuisortiz]

@123DROCK no ^_^ khemet +ancient egyptian word for'black land', refering to when the nile flooded and the fertile banks turned black withe mud. the ground is flooded by the nile, remember, and the soil left over, rich and precious, is black itself. Not the people. XD

[danuisortiz]

@123DROCK blacks were the minority. Maybe majority in the lands near the kushites. its not that ahrd, mate...

[danuisortiz]

@123DROCK The only time "black" skins were the majority is when Humans were just leaving africa and passing through.. after that, they of course changed to their envion, some went north, others that stood turned "semitic". Aiight?

[danuisortiz]

@123DROCK well, they weren't black by majority. Maybe in the southern lands (as shown in (Eb1) but, pass the sahara, most men and women could be called "mediterrean" "white" and "brown" not black.

[danuisortiz]

@123DROCK no, ehtopians are black. somalians, to. Egyptians were...middle eastern.

[Darkfoxx999]

@danuisortiz Egyptians are not middle eastern. They really aren't Egypt had greater ties to Africa then it did the rest of the Middle East. That is till the Arabic conquest, but still

[FaakedLillebror]

@123DROCK Nubians were black... egyptians or Kemetians were lighter

[myvalspar]

i cant believe what im seing, white people, the real people of North africa, hmm, yeh rite. whoes stealing whos history. check out on youtube, Dr Cheihk anta diop. fools, and educate yourselfs

[CaptainKahuna1]

@myvalspar The Egyptians weren't black, hate to bust the glass for ya yet once again...

[Darkfoxx999]

@CaptainKahuna1 Egyptians still weren't white bro

[ANashuu]

Now that Roma Surrectum 2 is out, EB team can prepare for retirement!:)))

[1212Jerichoman1212]

@ANashuu

Roma Svrrectvm 2 is not an accurate mod at all, it takes nothing from the audience of EB.

[tintin2]

are these the actuall units texture or are the graphic settings turned on low?

[chapp59]

I am a senior in college majoring in history and through extensive research and talking with various history instructors I found out that the original Berbers looked similar to other peoples of Africa. Archeologist recently traced there origins back to east Africa and its documented in Arab and European sources during the muslim invasion of Spain and France on how they looked. Their skin color ranged from light skinned to jet black.

[rifo96]

@chapp59 We Imazighen(B

erbers) are just evolved in the arctic climate of atlas mountains in north africa during the pleistocene era and right now we have our unique independant mutations

that are different to other africans and non-africans because humans were evolved or mixed in some different environements

we are not from the near east before 60.000 ! its untrue ...check the aterian skulls and u know why !

/watch?v=5McJnal3URA

[maghra]

@chapp59 Which college are you at? Is your college hovering over Saturn's Rings. The Berbers were never Black my friend, I am from North Africa and know it better than you. Put your mind to rest about this matter, it's a waste of time pursuing this idea.

[zizouzenati]

@chapp59 What the fuck are you talking about?? why should we believe bullshit stories of you about how the berbers looked if all human beings can see how the berbers look like for themselves. Becuase the berbers are still among us. Berbers are the overall majority of North Africa and milally itslions also live in Europe where they work. Ethnicaly is many many times probven that 87% of Morccans, Algerians, Tunisians and libyans are aboriginal North African Berbers, like it always was.

[mierdasforu]

@zizouzenati YOU ARE A NAZI, RAT OF MOROCCO

[CaptainKahuna1]

@chapp59 Modern Egyptians are predominantly North African in ancestry, not Arab or Persian...

[theeadablespleen]

I cant speak for other countries but in libya in benghazi the population is alot more african looking and you can tell theyre ancesters come from the mountains and the sahara but in tripoli it is very evident that they are arabs. Does anyone know why this is?

[newnumide]

@theeadablespleen

north africa was always inhabited by ppl called berbers.

i am my slef berber. the arabs cameto north africa from middle east in the 7th century. and as we know, the arabs have slaved the black ppl and they brought a lot of them(mostly black women), not just in north africa but in their home land.

[newnumide]

@theeadablespleen

so in the last years, the afro americans want to make another book of this history and false it by pretending that the original berbers( and Egyptians) were blacks and they were victims of europeans and arabs who stole their civilizations(berber and egyptian), those afrocentrics want to hide their real history where they always been slaved by arabs and ancient egyptians, they want make themselves feel good. Cuz North Africa was always inhabitted by white ppl(Berbers)

[newnumide]

@theeadablespleen

so remeber Berbers arnt a mix of anything.

we are the indigenous ppl of noth africa for thousands and thousands of years, and North africa haz nothing to do with black africa. Those(Afro(niggersamericanz)ce­ntrics) who think that the original berbers were blacks theyere wrong. the so called Touareg arnt really the true berbers, genetically only 6% have a little berber blood but they are berber in culture and language....

[19thepyrochilibean]

@newnumide lol

[djcizme]

North Africans were Black before the coming of the Arabs in the 7th Century CE.

[jedq]

yh and no they move down to south and east africa and west are bit diffrent

[theeadablespleen]

Why have so many guys given this guy thumbs down? Its true, but now most africans are a big mix of races because blacks and arabs have had children. Can be some big ass scary looking dudes wanderin around north africa!

[newnumide]

@theeadablespleen can tell me how does a baby made by a mix arab/black look like?

do u hear about berbers?

[Cherokee21]

was that Carthage that the Massylim were fighting?

[bellboyjim]

i believe so, looked like the carthaginian military

[tuskin4]

@bellboyjim really? they look Greek

[junoke3]

when EBII is ready ?

I love EB for RTW <3, I can't wait T_T

[Bandfred]

I love that opening track. Main reason I play the Semitic factions is because it's played so often.

[metallicafan32]

yeah, you and me both

[MILITARcz]

EBII ? awesome ! I hope that AI in EBII will be most inteligent than in EBl.

[UserNameForYeeTube]

It should be; M2TW is newer than R:TW and CA (probably) improved the AI, and even if they didn't, they did enable the AI to be modded.

[Wartzay]

I shall be waiting patiently for this!

[thekamikazedreamer]

Sweet!

this just makes waiting all the more painful, but it will be worth it!

[GaiusIuliusTaberna]

I take it EB 2 will have a Numidian faction... excellent!

[UserNameForYeeTube]

It does have one, the Kingdom of Massylia, or, "Mamla'ha biMassylim".

[0ttomaani]
