Talk:Controversy over racial characteristics of Ancient Egyptians/Draft

message: As ዮም (Yom) | contribs • Talk • E suggested, I am just going to throw out some ideas for an article structure. It seems to me that this article would be closely affiliated with, and should cross-reference at least three other articles: Egyptomania, Egypt in the Western imagination and Afrocentrism. As I said, it probably makes sense to start with the beginnings of the "history of man" in natural history in the 18th century. The following outline is just a suggestion, and by no means complete.
The debate around the racial characteristics of the ancient Egyptians begins, I think, when the biblical account of Genesis (i.e. the origins of "mankind") began to be put under pressure by Enlightenment thinking. Many factors worked together to shape the debate: Colonization (the interests of Britain and continental Europe), the slave trade, slavery in the New World, and -- starting in 1798 -- the beginnings of systematic Egyptology as an attendant to Napoleon's Egyptian campaign. One has to keep in mind that the debate went on for almost a century before Evolution became an accepted theory in the natural sciences. African American thinkers such as Frederick Douglass and David Walker began to engage in this debate at an early stage, claiming ancient Egypt as black civilization. In the United States, the debate clearly revolved around slavery: pro-slavery writers (such as Josiah C. Nott, the author of Types of Mankind) went through great lengths to show that (1) different races existed in ancient Egypt and (2) the Egyptian ruling class was "Caucasian." The point was to show that there has never been a black civilization, therefore black Africans were subhuman and meant to be slaves. Humans were, to Nott, different species, separately created not long before the earliest records of Egyptian civilization. It is interesting to see that the structure of the debate has not changed much since then, though the interests and scientific methods are different. 
Here is an outline. The bibliography is grossly incomplete since it reflects my own limited area of expertise (19th century American culture). --Jottce 08:22, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  "ACCC" Disambiguation 

message: I plan to revert back and reinsert the section on Palestine. The comment about Twitter sources misapplies the policy. Twitter is not being used as a source for claims- the sources for claims there are all from mainstream mass media. The link to Twitter is a link to the subject’s own feed to provide the factual basis for the statement that she is an activist in the Palestine issue. This issue has been the overwhelming focus of her activism for over three months now and is relevant to the topic of her activism. If we can’t link to the social media profiles of public figures whose activity is almost solely on social media..we have a major problem. I’m happy to expand the subject of her Palestine activism if it is considered overly critical/focussed on one claim. It would be absurd if I needed to rely on secondary mass media sources reporting on her activism when we can link directly to her words.  DpcJupiter (talk) 22:14, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for notifying me about this before taking action. Firstly, you are unfortunately unable to edit in the area of the Arab-Israeli conflict. See WP:Contentious_topics/Arab%E2%80%93Israeli_conflict. Irrespective of that, as I said, Twitter cannot be used unless "the material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim and it does not involve claims about third parties and it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the source". If you disagree perhaps you could ask about this at the Reliable source noticeboard. It would be good to include her views on Palestine and Israel but we need a better source. Also we can't juxtapose Mary's views with content that does not mention her or her views since that is synthesis. Burrobert (talk) 02:03, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

thread_title: Question

message: It should be noted; Aatxe were also described to be guardian spirits, or forest spirits, Closely AkIn to Sprites; or even Spirggans, they may even be a type of Nature-attuned Djinn; which would make them closely related to Fairys. From the description of their appearance, and behavior, it could be said that; because Aatxe live near the forests edge, and would only attack travelers, or frighten children, this may have been in order to protect them, by preventing them from entering the forest, where darker spirits may be lurking saving them from being attacked by monsters, and other evil creatures, which may do them harm. Aatxe while fearsome in the popular CCORPG Guild Wars (being associated with the underworld, were the servants of Grenth, the 2nd God of Death and Ice whom took control of the Underworld away from Dhuum, with the help of Balthazar the God of War and Fire, and the other Gods which at that time included Abaddon the God of Secrets and Water. Aatxe are also known to inhabit the Tomb of Primeval Kings, the passageway which mortals must travel through in order to reach the Hall of Heroes where Only 1 Mortal king was said to have traveled there and returned at the cost of his Sanity, leaving a warning behind before dying on the steps of the Tomb, having felt compeled to return to the hall where The~ Gods had Tested him. Thus it could be said the Aatxe and other shadow creatures are servantz of the Gods, attacking anyone whom should dare to Mark their trail upon sacred ground, in order to keep both realms "SACrosent". 184.60.234.233 (talk) 21:45, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

message: ۞ Someone showed some concerned about that page being an indiscriminate collection of information, may be, but this is very usefull to find quickly some interesting characters, the most usefull page I manage to find up to now, on about 25 samples! So I guess some more information about the unicode could help the integration.
Remark : it would be very useful to have pointors on specific group mainly thinking about symbols : emoticons, chess, cards etc... Took me almost 5 minutes to find a smily!
Some more wishes :
* more semantic pointors ... arrows, math etc...
* an explanation as why many symbols are just empty squares ? local computer handicap ? Just waiting for a future assignation ? Both ? Other ??
Greetings LFR

thread_title: 1511, Europeans

message: Okay, I must point out that Luzon Empire is in question for being POV, and that it has been suggested that it contradicts the entry Ancient Tondo, and that a merge proposal exists for those two articles.  I hadn't noticed its insertion here before.
Second, and more vigorously, I must object to the categorization of the Datu-Timawa-Alipin class system as equivalent to a caste system.  While the stratifications did exist (nobody is denying that), the proposition that it equates to a strictly enforced caste system is not supported by literature.  What the literature (Scott, Jocano) does seem to suggest (I must do some reading before I can say this definitely) is that the system was based on a system of reciprocity (utang na loob) rather than religious or political differentiation.
If nobody objects, I will move that section from the main page to this talk page tonight, as I believe the content should be discussed by knowledgeable persons before it creates damage.
I'm sorry I don't have time to work on this, guys. Help, please. Help. --- Alternativity (talk) 09:44, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm guessing there is an inconsistency among the sources, so can someone check which of these is the correct information?
