Black boxers have stronger skin

Practice what you preach, sir. Those "Arabs" you're referring to were Arabic speaking Africans called "Moors" of Spain. They were Islamized blacks.

I don't know where you got that from. The Moors were ethnically a mixture. Primarily Berbers.

This whole focus on race and ethnicity is a very modern thing. Why do you feel the need to sink to their level?

[Mr. Philadel]

From the most remote times there has existed in Russia people of African descent. By far the most famous of all the Blacks in Russian history, however, was Alexander Sergeievich Pushkin–patriarch of Russian literature. Born in Moscow on May 26, 1799, Pushkin was descended on his mother’s side from Major-General Ibrahim Petrovich Hannibal–an Ethiopian prince who became a favorite of Tsar Peter I (1682-1725). Hannibal impressed Czar Peter “so well that he became a confidant and favorite, was revered at the court, and began the aristocratic Pushkin lineage. In an unfinished work, The Negro of Peter the Great, Alexander Pushkin pays homage to his illustrious ancestor.”

Pushkin has been positively identified as the father of Russian literature, and composed in the Russian language at a time when most Russian intellectuals were writing in French.http://tseday.wordpress.com/2008/08/...st-black-poet/

Historic researchers know better than that. That's why they chose this guy to play Azeem the Moor in Robin Hood

I'm just correcting your misinformation the same way you decided to do with somebody else. Moors were black. Do more research.

Again false information the Moors did not invent mathematics and there is no evidence to suggest this.

What you are referring to is the evolution of European numbers in the Iberian peninsula during the Moors/Christian battles 400 to 1400 AD

the battles the Christians learned from what the Moors had collected over their empire. So Symbols for Numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 were standardized by about 1400 AD spread with Latin/Christian based cultures.

This is not the invention of mathematics Cultures created all kinds of numbering systems Greeks, Romans, Persians, and Arab/Islam.

[-Lowkey-]

man whats your problem?!?!?....YOU are the one who should do some research....why do you ppl assume the Moors were Arab ******s?!?...why?

My problem is your ridiculously false post you are saying a black man(who is actually white) gave Russians there language you need a history book.

Are you that insecure that you have to make up entirely false posts in order to defend the intelligence of your people?

Prior to the Moors introducing mathematics to europeans... the euros did not know it. They were in the dark ages and at an epic level of dumbness. They didn't even know the earth was round and didn't know how to sail north, south, east or west. They lost the knowledge from their philosophers like Aristotle and others until the Moors brought it back to them.

Mathematics wes originally invented by Africans... Nubians... and spread to other parts of the world after the Nubians migrated up to Egypt. Note the papyrus of Hunefer read where the Egyptians said themselves they came from the foothills of the mountains of the moon at the beginning of the nile... which was from the south in the Ugandan & Kenyan area.

Again you are trying to tell me this "black" man (who is white) is responsible for giving Russia its language (which he isn't).



LOL....

you're the insecure one...I'm just stating FACTS!!!

Do they know better than the Moors themselves?

The 'Moors' were a political entity, not a racial or ethnic one. Like virtually every other entity before the Victorian era.

This is Septimus Severus.



He was an African emperor... Of Rome.

Again more false information riddled with personal bias (bold) that only highlights your lack of knowledge and insecurity.

Ancient man has been counting since before they could walk upright. This has been shown by apes who will sometimes orgainize in a linear order...which is basically crude counting. One, two, three bannanas.

Ancient pre-Sumerian civilizations as far back as 8000BC used a numeration that was basically fingernail marks on clay.

Sumerian civilization had "standardized" their numbering system by about 3000BC. Which had a structured 1-6 counting. A circle with lines inside, kind of like cutting out pie pieces.

It can be said that the first WRITTEN numbers were done by the Ancient Egyptians found in hieroglyphs about 2700 BC.
They had symbols for 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000 and 1000000.
Egyptians later revised the symbols using lines that included unique symbols for 1 thru 10 at about 2200 BC.

The ancient Indian cultures also evolved multiple number sets Brahmi, Gupta and Nagari number sets as early as 3000BC. But there was so much variance on the numbering between areas the "dates and origins" are still debated today.

Cultures created all kinds of numbering systems Greeks, Romans, Persians, and Arab/Islam.

The idea to create individual symbols for each number between 1 and 9 sprouted in many cultures as far away as China and Mayan cultures. Indian culture proposed a standardized set in about 800AD which is used by India and some nearby nations.
