I have always thought that nothing beats hard evidence. For those who wish to speak nonsense without evidence the intelligent mind will dismiss their words as pure stupidity. For hundreds of years, Europeans have claimed African cultures as their own. After the Church denigrated the whole continent as being inhibited by savages. The Greek were educated by the Africans this is fact. European have always loved to fantasize of how for some unknown reason they left Europe and built pyramids in Africa, how absurd, only a fool would believe such stupidly in this day in age. Also the Egyptians were very clear as to where they came from "we came from the beginning of the Nile were God Hapi dwells, at the foothills of the Mountains(Kilimanjaro)of the Moon" [Great Lakes Region - central Africa]. This places them in Tanzania/Kenya not Greece/Europe. The Greek Herodotus himself, the farther of European history clearly stated that he and his countrymen went to Egypt/Africa to study in the mysteries. So to answer the question, is Cleopatra African or European. First I ask you this question is Barack Obama black or white. He has a white mother and a black farther. You see it is said that once you have an ounce of black blood running through your veins you are considered black. Off course I did not say this, it was laid out by the racist system that America, Australia, New Zealand, South America and other parts of the world created in order to subjugate people of color. Cleopatra is of the same offspring as Barack Obama, so you decide what color she was. HERE ARE A FEW MORE COMMENTS MADE BY EUROPEANS ON THIS MATTER; The French historian, Jacques Weulersse in his book, L’Afrique Noire (Paris, Ed. Artheme Fayard, 1934, p. 11) offers this view: “Africa long remained a mystery and , yet was it not one of the cradles of history? An African country, Egypt, thousands of years old, still presents, practically intact today, the most venerable monuments of Antiquity. At a time when all Europe was only savages, when Paris and London were swamps, and Rome and Athens uninhabited sites, Africa already possessed an antique civilization in the valley of the Nile; it had populous cities, great public works, sciences, and arts; it had already produced gods. A more recent writer Elizabeth Payne, in the book, The Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt (Random House), makes a similar case: “In Napolean’s day historians knew almost nothing about Egypt past or present. It was a land of the world had all but forgotten. And yet once, long before the birth of Christ, Egypt had been the most famous and powerful country in the world. At a time in history when the ancestors of Western man still lived as semi-savages in the dense forest of England and Europe, a great civilization had existed along the banks of the river Nile. Ruled over by awesome god kings called Pharaohs, Egypt had been a land of bustling cities, golden palaces, huge stone temples, busy dock sides and luxurious country estates. Her people had been fun loving and light hearted, her nobles elegant and worldly and her gods the most powerful in all the world. From the pen of Bishop William Montgomery Brown: “For the first two or three thousand years of civilization, there was not a civilized white man on the earth. Civilization was founded and developed by the swarthy (means black) races of Mesopotamia, Syria and Egypt, and the white race remained so barbaric that in those days an Egyptian or a Babylonian priest would have said that the riffraff of white tribes a few hundred miles to the north of their civilization were hopelessly incapable of acquiring the knowledge requisite to progress. It was colored people everywhere, in China, in Central America, in India, Mesopotamia, Syria, Egypt and Crete who gave the northern white people civilization.” Bishop William Montgomery Brown The bankruptcy of Christian Supernaturalism, Vol. II, p 192

Who cares.

That is the best picture of Martha that I have seen.
