PC History Corrected

Just a short(ish) history blog …. Some stupid git on the radio was waffling on again about how before the Arabs invaded, Egyptians were all black, and that Septimus Severus the Roman Emperor was black.

When they use the term 'Black' in this context, they are not referring to the Berbers (the original inhabitants of much of North Africa outside of Egypt), or even the Arabs (who only arrived in the 7th and 8th centuries AD), but of sub Saharan Negro Africans, and that's where it becomes a load of rubbish.

 

In fact Mitochondrial DNA studies have discovered a close ancestral link between Berbers and the Saami of Scandinavia, which is why many Berbers can appear very European looking.

What's so sad is that Black revisionists feel so insecure, that they have to take dead Romans and 'paint them as black' to create "great black peoples", when there are real black heroes about .... ah well, wishing don't make it so. Anyway this piss poor use of history really annoys me. It is so easy to show that all this guff is just PC crap, put out by people who are lucky if they have even finished high school, but its left unchallenged because academics are frightened to stand out for the truth, because PC committees frighten them.

First fact - The North Africa coast was never black, as in Negro ... it was inhabited by Berber/Libyans, Egyptians and Greeks and Romans, and just about every other Mediterranean type, but not any great numbers of Sub Saharan Blacks. So if you want to claim them as 'Great Olive Skins' from history then do so, but don't delude yourself by using the term black.

Second fact - Septimus Severus was from a wealthy Berber family (Historically Berbers have been variously known, for instance as Libyans by the ancient Greeks,as Numidians and Mauri by the Romans) - he looked like this (official portrait of emperor and family painted from life) .. showing him with a brown face, but the rest of the family paler than he.

Zinedine Zidane

 

..... think Zinedine Zidane (who is of Berber descent) with a full beard. There are funerary pictures painted by Egyptians showing what the deceased looked like. They appear on various websites including Wikipedia and illustrate very nicely all the mixed racial types in Roman North Africa.

Now correct me if I am wrong, but you are not going to paint yourself as white or brown if you are black are you? I mean artists aren’t cheap are they, and eternity is a long time, so you want to be recognised! The real black rulers of Egypt were the Nubian Pharoahs, whose rule started around 760BC, but which in fact it barely lasted a century ... and didn't involve population displacements.

Now the links on this site shows about a couple of dozen paintings, and whilst they are probably not exact representations of the dead people, they are likely to be close approximations to the subjects taken from a set of stereo types e.g. Greek, Berber/Libyan, Roman, Egyptian, African etc.

Therefore the portraits are a good representation of the population in Egypt at the time of the Roman conquest and beyond. If you use the links you will notice two things:

1. How often young people below the age of 50 died and
2. The fact that most of the portraits are of not of Negro types.

They are brown Berber/Libyan types, Native Egyptians or paler Greek and Roman types which is what you would expect for pre-Arab Egypt. You would be hard put to match these faces to a "Black Egypt" that certain afro-centric idiots are now teaching as 'fact'....in fact I have included the 'black' face from the set, but a close look probably shows a Berber face.

Anyway you make up your own minds from the portraits on the links, but don't just take the rubbish that PC revisionists are putting out, and that's being taught as factual now.

On the subject of portraits, there was a web site with a reproduction of what Jesus would likely have looked like which I have found, and guess what, the New Nation newspaper has Jesus listed as a Black icon (well what the hell, he may as well join every one else who they are claiming as one of the brothers), when they ranked Jesus at number one in a survey of black icons.

One school of Afro-centric nonsense has it that Jesus was part of a tribe which had migrated from Nigeria (well so much for the Bible and Moses and the Jews etc... must have been a shock to a good Jewish family when Mary came home with that story!).

Jesus Representation

The fact that the BBC even printed this as a real "school of thought," shows how pernicious the PC revisionism is. There are/were black Jews (in Ethiopia), but they appear to have been isolated from the Mediterranean world until the 1970's. There were also Arab Jewish tribes in Arabia until the coming of Islam, when they were all killed or forcibly converted to Islam by 750AD.
