Fortunately, I am unable to open the BS it has to say but when you refer to the site's main page, http://backintyme.com .....ummm, WTF?! Banjo players???? nah man, nah.



This is the actual web page the article came from, http://backintyme.com/publishing.htm
LOL.That old Banjo Player is a Puert Rican. And he can talk genetics around you any day. And he is hosting the article. He didn't write it. Finally, the only BS is the fact that you pretend you even have a clue. Your racism because they are light skinned is flagrantly showing.

I'm sure you'll say you can't open this one as well.

I was born in Puerto Rico. Genetically, I am a mixture of many peoples. My first language is Spanish. My cultural heritage is Spanish as far back as I can trace. Both of my parents were born in Puerto Rico. My paternal grandfather was born in Colombia; indeed, he was the Colombian Consul in Ponce, Page Ranking. His family originally came from Extremadura, Spain. My paternal grandmother was born in Mexico. Her family originally came from Galicia, Spain. Both of my maternal grandparents were born in Puerto Rico as were all four of their parents. All four families originally came from Asturias, Spain. The name on my birth certificate is Francisco Ramon Valiente Rivero.
I have used the surname Sweet since 1943 to honor the US Army officer who, stationed at an isolated Caribbean airbase during WWII, fell in love with and married a native single mother with a toddler. (My mom and me.) I was raised as an Army brat in many bases including Panama, Cuba, Page Ranking, and Fort Dix NJ, where I learned English at the age of six.

Thank you,
Frank W. Sweet
Finally, get a clue, the banjo is an AfroAmerican origin instrument with African influences. And it is also part of Caribbean music like Jamaican mento.

Oh, damn he has a banjo.

p. 594-597 [describing the well-known murals of Queen Hatshepsut’s fleet to Punt]

“The upper four registers show the hewing of ebony, the collecting of myrrh and the removal of myrrh-shrubs, as well as illustrating the fauna (baboon, giraffe, rhino, cattle, dogs, donkey) and flora (including dom palms), besides pile-dwellings reached by ladders, and of course the Puntites themselves.. .

Over the two ships being loaded can be read (Sethe 1908-9, pp. 328:17-329:12; transl. Also Breasted 1906-7, II, no. 265 and Burkhardt 1984, p. 18):

“Loading the ships very heavily with the marvels of the land of Punt: with (all kinds of) good herbs of God’s Land and heaps of nodules of myrrh, with trees of fresh myrrh, with ebony and pure ivory, with ‘green gold’ of ‘Amau, with tishepes and khesyt wood, with ihmt-myrrh, incense and eye-paint, with baboons, monkeys and hounds, with southern leopard skins, with servants and children.”

If this is to believed giraffes and rhino were in the same place as the rest of the stuff being loaded onto the ships at Punt.

Damn those Eurocentrists trying to rob them Africanocentralists of their rightful place in history.

Oh I have a clue....you really need to stop insulting people you don't know. Its not a very nice thing to do and it suggests on your part immaturity and a lack of poise, also lack of intelligence. tsk tsk Your insults never bothered me, tho....since I'm confident of who I am and where I come from. @ me being a racist. Your posts tell everyone who the real racist is.

I'm sure you'll say you can't open this one as well.

Yeah right, nice try. Your evidence for the source being wrong is what? That there is a picture of two light skinned people? Feel free to explain what that has to do at all with the reliability of the article.
Your bias is obvious. And like I said, the article is not from the website, it is just hosted there.

I was able to this time....and once again...
I'm sure you are laughing. But you have no evidence to contradict anything. Any fool can laugh.
