A FLASH BLACK MOMENT IN EGYPT: The first civilization in the Caucuses was the Colchian culture. Here is how the Greek historian Herodotus (c. 440 B.C.) described the Colchians - in we Quote: "Egyptians said that they believed the Colchians to be descended from the army of Sesostris. My own conjectures were founded, first, on the fact that they are black-skinned and have woolly hair, which certainly amounts to but little, since several other nations are so too; but further and more especially, on the circumstance that the Colchians, the Egyptians, and the Ethiopians (Nubians) , are the only nations who have practised circumcision from the earliest times." Unquote.Here, Herodotus, in his "Histories books," described Egyptians as a people with unique customs, religious practices, and a strong sense of cleanliness, often contrasting their ways with those of other cultures, including Greeks whom were black.
