Not a problem. By same token, Aristotle was one of the earliest contributors to the field of physics, but you'd never see a modern physicist quoting him as though he was the ultimate authority on the subject. Herodotus was called "the father of history" because he was the first to go about studying it in an organized, empirical manner, to write it in a factual rather than fantastical manner, not because he was right about everything.
We're not the ones trying to distort history, fabricate it, invent it, or rewrite it. You are. The plain, simple and inescapable fact is that Egypt was not a black civilization. Quit pretending that it was. You've got most of the continent of Africa populated by black people, and the only part of it you can focus on to take credit for is the part that wasn't. It's the most pathetic thing ever.
You guys are like two peas in a pod -- you are grasping at straws to get your stagnant sense of history across -- it is too late -- your dire struggle to hide the truth of black civilization and it's origins and legacy is futile -- many thousands of people of all shades and colours have seen and are headed to Africa to see the truth in our ancient temples throughout the continent -- people like you will be left in the dust in your stubborn ignorance --
@MrMcGuire1000 Thank you, that confirms what I thought, Robinson (Who I for some bizarre reason called Johnson earlier by accident, sorry) was in fact using Herodotus as an appeal to authority to knowingly peddle falsehoods. Herodotus was a great man of course, but given the tools and data he had to work with, it's little wonder he was mistaken from time to time.
Herodotus did write it, but he was wrong. Unfortunately, that's given people like Robinson fodder to promote this nonsense as though it were true. It's one thing for an ancient Greek to assume that their civilization derived from Egypt's, himself not knowing much of the origins of either or the differences between the two, but it's inexcusable for someone in the modern era to make that claim.
Injecto -- then I guess you don't know Randell Robinson --he is a man of integrity -- he was very instrumental in the downfall of apartheid with his influential divestments from that country - among other feats --
There is a book recently written by whites that you might believe -- it's called Black Genesis- it sites the melanin dosage tests performed on the ancient Africans ( mummies) in the French museum --enjoy
@magicforesttree I am simply questioning whether Herodotus actually wrote what Mr. Robinson claimed he did as it is he who provides no evidence, cites no source and paraphrases instead of giving a direct quote, expecting his audience to simply believe him apropos of nothing. It is a fallacious appeal to authority and very poor scholarship at best.
Even if Herodotus did write what Mr. Johnson claims (Which I doubt) then he was simply incorrect as the evidence is all against it.
