Hi everyone. I'm Mathilda and I'm new. I got into a very repetetive and heated argument with an Afrocentrist recently, over what the Egyptians looked like. He...

I am forwarding an email from another list about Wallis Budge and Flinders Pettie that has some bearing on the race question as well as other interesting...
The fact that your afrocentrist friend ignored the mummy of Ramses II tells you all you need to know. Arguing is a waste of time. Your friend has already ...
You can get a hundred different "rationales" from people as to what race they were. Most defy basic logic in exchange for some specific concept they hold to....
Thank you for an useful post. I shall have a word with one of the British museum managers to see if that's true about the Petrie stuff. From the evidence that...

I'm fairly sure that at least a couple of the female mummies were infibulated. I shouldn't think that was for pleasure. It's done to ensure chastity. Mathilda ...
That's a myth, and one easily rebuked. There are no cannon ball marks on the sphinx. Not to mention that Napoleon entered Egypt with a whole host of artist and...
