Here is an historian(who is not african) that has suggested that Kaisari may have african origins so this could potentially be an african issue just like obama who is not an african president but is still being discussed in Africa.
The historian has suggested. Let us look at the evidence when the book is out.But this does not stop us discussing this or African history in general and how many facets of African history were stolen like the st Maurice issue which I had discussed previously.I did also mentioned black inspirational figures like, pharaos etc whose achievements in my opinion kaisari will never match.So you are wrong to think that the kaisari issue for me is the most important for african history ,far from it,have you read my previous posts?
Does discussing Obama make him an African issue? Now you are acting like the Kenyans who had a public holiday just because Obama was elected the U.S. president. I think you haven't caught my point yet. Look if Caesar is black fine if it will ever be proven as a historical fact but it doesn't change anything for us currently. Some people in here(not necessarily you) act like this is the greatest thing to happen to Africans. Caesar was emperor of Rome, celebrating him being black is the same as being proud of black players who are playing for European teams, I just don't see how it currently helps us. By the way look at the word you used in your first sentence...."suggestion". What is the definition of suggestion?
O.k. mkuu but you have repeated the word "suggestion" but some people are still talking about it as if that's now the fact. So what happens if this author is dis-proven as being inaccurate? I won't hold my breathe. If colonialists or whites have distorted African history like you say what hopes do you have that they won't do everything in their power to discredit this? In the history of the world is this Italian the first one to realize this? Today? If someone came up and said some historic black figure was in fact white would you agree with him and listen to his facts?
Is there any history which was documented by blacks and then distorted ?
Non that I have proof of. Could be but I can't say because I can't provide proof.Why do you ask me?

Are you aware of the hamitic hypothesis?

Absolutely null, however some years back I came across with this writings.
"The term Hamitic originally referred to the peoples believed to have been descended from the biblical Ham, one of the Sons of Noah. Over history, there have been several separate, but interrelated, interpretations of the term. In the Bible, the sons of Ham include peoples who were traditionally enemies of the Jews, notably the Egyptians and the Canaanites. While the Canaanites competed with the Israelites for the same territory, Ham's sons were said to have fathered the peoples of Africa. Of Ham's four sons, Canaan, fathered the Canaanites, while Mizraim fathered the Egyptians, Cush the Kushites and Phut the "Libyans".[1]
A literal interpretation of the Bible leads literalists to believe that all of humanity was descended from Noah. Chapters 9 and 10 of the Book of Genesis deal with the dispersing of Noah's sons into the world. The name of Cush, Ham's eldest son, means "black" in Hebrew, and "Caanan" means "trader", "trafficker", or "lowland". The word "Ham" in Hebrew moreover means "hot" or "multitude", and is thus not necessarily a racial reference.[2] Although using Hebrew to define these names will result in inaccurate translations due to the fact that Noah and his sons were not Hebrew. And in fact, according to Genesis 11:10-26, they lived thousands of years before Abram (later Abraham), who is the father of the Hebrew people.
According to Bernard Lewis, the sixth-century Babylonian Talmud states that "the descendants of Ham are cursed by being Black and are sinful with a degenerate progeny."[3] However, an exhaustive online search of the Soncino translation of the Babylonian Talmud reveals no such statement, nor a similar statement. Instead the rabbis are found discussing what the nature of Ham's offense was, such that his fourth son was cursed. Nevertheless, slave holders, slavery defenders and racial theorists used similar formulations to justify African slavery in the Americas.[4]"
Nilitaka mawazo yako mwenyewe kuhusu hamitic hypothesis.Sasa wewe umecopy and paste, na inaelekea ujui ulichocopy hapo juu.
Explain to me in your own words, what was the hamitic hypothesis and its implications on african history?
If you can't answer this then I will not argue with you.
You are not worth my time.
mbona watu wengi tunapenda kua ''reactonaries'' inawezekana just lets wait and read the book, nothing is impossible! kwani si ukweli kulishawai kuwa na pope mswahili aliyekua na asili ya sudan, alafu wengi mfahamu, kipindi icho karibu dunia nzima maendeleo yalikua yanafanana kwa iyo kulikua hamna kitu kinaitwa africa-umasikini na ulaya-utajirini, ninachojua watanzania wengi ni wavivu wa kusoma au kutaka kutafuta ukweli zaidi ya kung'ang'ania yaliyo ktk vitabu kwa mfano mtu yoyote ukisoma kitabu cha ''CHARIOT OF THE GOD BY ERICH VON DANIKEN'' kama ukiwa hujafungwa uwezo wako wa kufikiri na maandiko ya biblia au quran, utaona sense na itakufanya ufikirie upya izi dini za mapokeo tulizopewa!

Sasa ole wako wakuone kuwa ni msegani utajaza.,ni bora ujisingizie muhindi au mchanganyiko wowote ndio ponea yako,masegani walioendelea ni walinzi[mgambo wa kampuni binafsi].
Historia kwenye bible inaonyesha simon aliyemsaidia yesu msalaba alikuwa ni mweusi aliyetokea ethiopia.hivyo sio ajabu kusikia kuwa mweusi alikuwa huko enzi hizo
- tatizo la kuficha historia ndio hilo,linatugharimu.hata zanzibar ndio tumekuwa wale wale...
- hatuna mwisho wa historia yetu ya asili.,utawala wa mwinyi mkuu uliishia wapi.,kama mwenyewe alifariki na mtoto wake ambaye ni mrithi wake alifariki pia,je ndio ulikuwa ndio mwisho?hakukuwa na mwingine? Mwarabu aliingiaje?
- uhuru wa zanzibar, je ulipatikana kwa kumwaga damu?
- mbona historia ya demokrasia imefichwa?
- kiongozi wa kwanza wa zanzibar baada ya uhuru ni nani mwarabu au karume?
- zanzibar ilipata uhuru toka kwa nani ?mwarabu au mwingereza?
- je kiongozi wetu wa zanzibar baada ya uhuru alikuwa na asili ya kiarabu kweli?[shamte????]
- uongo wa kuficha historia utatugharimu mno
Miafrika bana...always want to prove everything perceived to be 'great' was black!
This is very amusing news.
Julius Caesar was a black man?? I dunno, it sounds a bit far fetched, kinda reminds me of that other story which claimed Cleopatra was black.
But if he was black then surely he must have had a lighter skin tone than most black people, I'm sure all the histories in the world would not have missed out such an important detail when recounting his conquests.
Also all the artists and sculptors who created paintings and carvings of his image surely could have not been color blind or perhaps he ordered them to depict him as a white man?? No that doesn't even sound right, I say this is pure bullsh*t.
