> Bietak unearthed evidence from artwork as early as 7000 B.C. that depicts the early people inhabiting Greece were of African descent.

AFAIK, that’s complete nuttery.

Thanks for that link, there are a lot of laughs in there.

> Many scholars have concluded that the founders of the first Mesopotamian civilization were Black Sumerians.

There are zero scholars who think that — there may be some dilettantes and agitprop spreaders who claim to. The Sumerians referred to themselves as “the black-headed people”, an obvious reference to their hair, which was jet black rather than the browns and sandys they encountered when they arrived in what became Sumeria. Their language was agglutinative and has no known relatives living or dead. In their art, no evidence at all of African origin.

It reminds me of the propaganda of a wacko “religious” group here in Michigan years ago, called “The Black Hebrew Israelite Jews” (just to be on the safe side, they threw ‘em all in there). The basis for the claim that the “real” Jews were black African? When Moses stretched out his hand (I think at the spring, when everyone was out of water) his hand turned “white as snow”. I just looked at my hands, and they aren’t white as snow either. ;’)
