Cambridge University’s archaeology museum is to display signs explaining the apparent ‘whiteness’ and lack of ‘diversity’ among its ancient sculpture plaster casts – all as part of an anti-racism campaign.
This sounds like satire, but it’s not. Cambridge University’s Classics faculty really has chosen to focus on ‘the role of classical sculpture in the history of racism’. In effect, this ancient seat of learning is undertaking an act of cultural vandalism. It is seeking to recast Greek and Roman civilisation as the cradle of modern racism.

ReplyDeleteThis is fake news. I learned from the BBC ("Troy: Fall of a City") that great Achilles is Black. Aeneas Prince of Troy is Black. Patroclus is Black. Also, Zeus is Black. How can a people (the Hellenes) whose chief god is Black possibly be racist?
Other interesting facts I learned from British television are that Anne Boleyn is Black.
Also, movies taught me that Heimdallr ("the whitest of the Gods" and from whose gifts lumpish primitive early man was uplifted successively to thralls, then karls, then jarls) is Black.
Surely the good people who run the BBC, Channel 5 (owned by Viacom, owned by Shari Redstone) and Marvel Movies would not lead me astray. If there are any people of honesty and good will who can be counted upon to show us The Truth it is the good people who control mass media today.

DeleteNot at all... :)
My area of interest is genetics, with a focus on ancient peoples.

The latest in genetics establish a population in the Philippines as related to the ancient Denisovan people of Siberia.

Homo Longi of china is related to present-day Norse people.
Neanderthals live in Northern Europeans (my genome testing indicates I am thirteen percent (13%) Neanderthal, so we are hardly 'extinct').
.
And the kicker -- instead of 'the birth-place of humanity', some of us wandered into an uninhabited Afrika.
Nobody around for thousands of miles.
No pygmies, no MauMau, no Afrikan National Congress.

Of course, none of this takes into account FlyingPyramids©.
