No I havent  though I remember when it came out  Sort of a companion  not in actuality but in subject matter  to Chancellor Williams The Destruction of Black Civilization  If youre getting at the fact that Cleopatra could have been Greek and black  well thats possible  I havent given it a lot of thought frankly  I used to think Cleopatra was black and then not  but I guess I havent cared enough to read up on the subject  When I responded to the last poster in the other forum I decided to address his appalling ignorance more broadly  which concerns me more  The big picture and not which person of note was what color  except as examples of a general population  Without reading Black Athena however I know enough from other reading  about Etruscans Phoenicians etc  that there was a substantial African presence in those cultures  and that ancient Greece was heavily influenced by black Egypt  One obvious appropriation  socalled Greek architecture many elements of which actually are black AfricanEgyptian in origin  Have you read it Peace
