Black Athena debate part 2

What is Classical about Classical civilization? In one of the most audacious works of scholarship ever written, Martin Bernal challenges the whole basis of our thiking about this question. Classical civilization, he argues, has deep roots in Afroasiatic cultures. But these Afroasiatic influences have been systematically ignored, denied or suppressed since the eihjteenth century chiefty for racist reasons. The popular view is that Greek civilization was the result of the conquest of a sophisticated but weak native population by vigorous Indo-European speakers or Aryans from the North. But the Classical Greeks, Bernal argues, knew nothing of this "Aryan model" They did not see their political institutions, science, philosophy, or religion as original, but rther as derived from the East in general, and Egypt in particular.

Haplogroup E3b is found in north Africa all the way to Somalia. Most of the people from north/northeast Africa speak Afro-Asiatic languages, which the ancient Egyptians who were also from there did. This haplogroup is found in Greece extensively. Now call me crazy but I think the prof is referring to these people and not north western Europeans or west and southern Africans.Argument closed!

Judge a man more by the questions he asks!

This is a very good question!

I've been focusing on attempting to find the truth on this as well and I agree after ~1 year of detailed study of all sides. (ie. non "WESTERN" sources the evidences of history were out of reach of the Rabbis/Freemasons and "the Church".

None of this corruption would have been possible without the help of them all.

the good professer can not make a strong case , so he comes up with an excuse to not debate. that is because he would have to come with the FACTS which he does not have . greeks stole egyptian culture period.

Most definately, the first of men were spread all over the world. They were matriarchal and very in tune with nature.

These Nordic invaders have displaced the original Blacks out of Europe, Asia, and Middle East. One scholar who countered Darwins racism at the time, was David Mcritchie who documents the true inhabitants of Britain, in "Ancient and Modern Britons".
