Some of you are using big words to sound smart and others are just contradicting theselves. Just relax and learn something Wow I think you guys got horribly side tracked by turning this discovery into a race war.

Egypt certainly WAS black, as archaeologists now recognize: Egyptian civilization formed from a mixture of Saharan (African Aquatic, the ancestors of modern W Africans) and Nubian-derived Neolithic Nile Valley farmers. And Greek was unique, not an imitation of Egypt, not a theft. Métis sommes nous! Indeed that is true. All peoples have contributed. I continue to learn from peoples of many varied ancestries and cultural traditions. I don't see why all these traditions and peoples have to be set against each other in an endless racialist competition. This is madness! Stop it!

But it is racist to assume that since the creation of the world Africa has not contributed to science nor influenced Europe. Aristotle, Plato, and Cicero thought of the rest of Europeans as barbarians. Chauvinism aside, Europe or the West is leading the world today because since the renaissance they borrowed from China, and the rest of the world. In ancient times, Greeks borrowed from Egypt, Mesopotamia, etc. What is Japan without China or Western influence. NOUS SOMMES TOUS DES METIS CULTURELS. By the Way China and India are rising up. Good luck Europe! As for the blackness of Egyptians, this debate is over. Egyptians were clearly not British, German or French. Africa is certainly in crisis today.

You sound angry and confused.  That one article must have surely deflated your ignorant hubris.

And ignorantly you have asked, what has Maths got to do with it. Like a complete innumerate goy that you are.

Maths is the key to it all.  He who founded Maths, founded it all.

The very existence of this article should have discouraged that conclusion, but I suppose such a lack of intellectual sophistication is predictable from you people. As you would know if you weren't biased, the Egyptians have never been black. So an "African" influence, yes; but a black influence, no. So don't get so excited. Westerners have risen far beyond simple computations anyway. The Egyptians never approached rocket science or nanotechnology, or computer and internet technology, or satellite and radio technology. So where does math count more? “How Europe is in Denial”, huh?
