(did i ever tell you about the time i had sex on a train? but i still am not a member of the mile high club, it is tragic)
 
I'm rusty.

Fuckin Egyptians.

S'okay, I am too right now. Been studying indigenous Australian and American history more lately.

Ah, a couple of statues of Nubians and Kushites and some people think that all Egyptians were black. Pretty cute. If you don't mind some slight ranting, I don't know why some black nationalists try and revise history like that - there were some amazing ancient African civilisations below Egypt that more people should know about, instead of drawing more attention to the Egyptians (which Ax and I agree to be the most overrated of ancient civilisations, like that's important).
 
Wow, this thread is moving fast. Well, just updated the stats spreadsheet.

:sigh:, people always tend to neglect that the Egyptians had more in common with the European races.

You mean like the Ethiopians?
 
So was there a new U2 vid released today or not?

I'm no longer sure WHAT is going on with U2. I'm hoping someone will just give me factual information here. Last time I went into WTAHNN I was told not to quit my day job :(

Personally, I always thought the Mesopotamians were more interesting, anyway.

Yeah, like the Aksumites. They were badass. And I think there was even a Kushite pharaoh or two, I don't know - I'm rusty with that area. What I do know is that there's more to ancient African history than the far north.
