it's been going on for decades as quasi-academic "African studies" departments have sprung up around the US on a quest for racial pride

Cool stuff. Thanks!
Thanks, always interested to see new info about Ancient Egypt.

So it looks like they should have broken off more than the noses in order to keep their conspiratorial secret from seeing the light of day. Best bet was probably to just pretend they found Napoleon's ships. Unless Napoleon was also black, in which case I got nothin'.
Hey, who knew Grogheads had fallen that far behind on the maroon index?
They make us look like positively sensitive, caring, sane people. How humiliating.

lol - thats what i meant
after LBs post as well, i feel i have lived under some kind of security blanket - there is an active and huge movement trying to reverse the brain washing of Hollywood and history that the Egyptians were black - and they chipped the noses off their statues so noone could tell?
Why make a statue with a nose, then hack it off? Easier to make a nose-less statue in the first place.
Smells of a conspiracy to me!
it would appear as marrauding armies came over the horizon the most important thing to do was cut the noses off the statues and push them in the sea - tut, no wonder they didnt amount to much
tut?
If I didn't know you as well as I do, I'd have to suspect that you made a pun attempt there......

Bast not be too hasty with these things.

Maybe they're referring to when Egypt had black pharaohs for the century after it was conquered by its southern neighbor Kush? ???

Pun penalty!
That's already been used. See the top of the page: http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=8481.msg212016#msg212016
I guess I get too eager to Geb a good pun.
Giza chance to think of some more.

Muslimit the number of puns in this thread - we should come together Aswan and put this discussion back on track.
I dont mean to break up the punfest but have they found any of Windys relatives?
Ask Bawb - he might have been on holiday there about the time Tut wrapped things up.

You won with this one, anyway.
The sexual life of a camel
is a very peculiar thing
in the height of the mating season
it tries to bugger the sphinx
now, the sphinx' posterior orifice
is blocked by the sands of the Nile
which account for the hump on the camel
and the sphinx' inscrutable smile.
Well, that was a thread-killer and no mistake! ;D
Some things just can't be topped, oh Resident Pun-Master. ;)
There'd better be a genie in that lamp!
