Why did the europeans try and make the Great Zimbabwe ruin, art of Benin etc look like they where made by them

Answer 1

The questioner gives no evidence for his assertion that the Europeans did as he suggests, and I suggest he is just trying to make a racist point to stir up trouble. To Polly, the island of Britain was, until about 8000 years ago attached to the contient of Europe by a land bridge - read the link I give, concerning 'Doggerland'

Answer 2

Iroostermanforever I think when your telling someone that something is aload of crap you should have your facts straight

Briton or the U.K is not apart of Europe its an Island. Yes I know thosands of years ago Europe and Brtion were connected so were all 7 continents what does that have to do with any thing? It was when you implyed this great civlization existed that was superior to Egypt ,Greece, that got me interested.

And if what you say is true you could have had the common sense to put down the name of this civlization and inspired some debate.
You wrote Egypt and Africa seperatley like Egypt is an Island seperate from Africa Egypt is in Africa. And as for you saying Egypt wasnt African of cousre it was its people came from the green Sahara Egypt is in Africa.

Iroostermanforever its not a fact the Ancient Egyptians were more Asian. The Native people of North Africa are both light skinned and black skinned. The orginal Egyptians intermarried with Asians but the orignal egyptians were never Asian. You seroisly think that the present day Copts look like the orginal people of Egypt who came from the green sarhara and called there country Kemet then you have a bizzare view of Egyptian history. The ancient Egyptians were couqured by so many different people that they would not look the same way they did in Ancient times.

Answer 3

It wasnt just the Great Zimbabwe ruins. If there were cvlizations or art work the Europeans considered worthy of civlization they would try first to assign it to europeans then to Arabs and if that failed to the Chinese. This was largley based on racist ideas of the time .Simlar things were done with Rwanda and The Kingdom of Kerma.

And roostermanforever's what was the name of the civlization that existed in the U.K before Egypt?

Answer 4

South Africa is doing OK... Egypt and SOME other countries north of the Sahara do pretty well. Despite massive revenues from oil and diamonds, ALL of Sub-Saharan Africa is a hell hole. The governments are corrupt, the people kill eachother to settle political disputes, and the money we hand out to them goes into wars. The solution to the problem is not fiscal, it is political, but try telling that to Bono...

Answer 5

Europeans have a long standing history of stealing other peoples
civilizations

Asian and African civlizations are older


Europeans have always had an unspoken inferiority complex with regard to Asian civlizations because ours are older its the same with Africa Kush and Egypt are both older then there first high civlization that of Greece. There white descendants in America have this complex as well thats why some of them still delude themselves into thinking the Egyptians were white when in fact there were both light skinned and black. The light skinned ones were not light skinned because europeans settled there they were light skinned because some of the people native to North Africa are light skinned as well as black.

Its far easier for europeans to steal civlizations out of Africa because of the state Africas in right now.

Europeans got the foundations for there first high civlization of Greece from Africa via Egypt is another reason why they have to steal others peoples civlizations.

People should ask themselves why is above any other race white people have tried to steal the most civlizations.

You've got to feel sorry for the white racist racist interpations of history is the last thing they have left.

Answer 6

rdenig_male I find it very hard to believe that a person who is intelligent enough to know the Brtish Isle was once connected to Europe would not have the common sense to google the words "European interpretations Great Zimbabwe ruins" perhaps it shows willfull ingorance on your part you didnt really didnt want to know and found it easier to just label the person who asked this question a racist I would suggest you look at my link below.

Answer 7

roostermanforever you are miss guided if you think the signs of a 8000 year old cuture in Briton that dosent even have a name is on the same level as high civlizations such as Egypt, Kush, Greece or Rome. Of course there were civlizations before Egypt, Kush Greece etc but they were not high civlizations.
