>(Library of History, 3, Greek historian Diodorus Siculus)>But there are also a great many other tribes of the Ethiopians, some of them dwelling in the land lying on both banks of the Nile and on the islands in the river, others inhabiting the neighbouring country of Arabia, and still others residing in the interior of Libya. 2 The majority of them, and especially those who dwell along the river, are black in colour and have flat noses and woolly hair. As for their spirit they are entirely savage and display the nature of a wild beast, not so much, however, in their temper as in their ways of living; for they are squalid all over their bodies, they keep their nails very long like the wild beasts, and are as far removed as possible from human kindness to one another; 3 and speaking as they do with a shrill voice and cultivating none of the practices of civilized life as these are found among the rest of mankind, they present a striking contrast when considered in the light of our own customs." >Apollodorus, first century before our era, Greek philosopher. 'Aegyptos conquered the country of the black-footed ones and called it Egypt after himself.'>Lycinus (describing a young Egyptian): 'This boy is not merely black; he has thick lips and his legs are too thin ... his hair worn in a plait behind shows that he is not a freeman.'>A similar description of the Egyptian type of man recurs a few lines later in verse 745. (/) Achilles Tatius of Alexandria. He compares the herdsmen of the Delta to the Ethiopians and explains that they are blackish, like half-castes.>>9641131I didn't say you lied, but your sharing useless information. It's -literally- useless lol. The same study says they came from SSA too, with the drift indicating increasing admixture from the levant etc.
