        When I tried to discuss Black Athena at Berkeley in the early 90s...no one was interested. I'm not aware of any debates in the department during that time. One Hellenist insisted that it was nothing new, and that was that!

        Feeling all the things. I talked about medieval studies not having a Black Athena moment in this podcast.https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-the-chauncey-devega-27994485/episode/ep-159-dorothy-kim-exposes-white-28594436/ …

        "Of course facts matter..." Yes, they do, and you talk a lot about the negative social, cultural & political consequences of rejecting Bernal's thesis, but very little about the actual evidence for it, which almost all experts agree to have been extremely poor to say the least.

        Bernal opposed the isolationist school of archaeology that saw ancient Greece as indigenous, with minimal to no influences outside Aegean; however the isolationists have been proven right by archaeology, classical sources, and now ancient DNA.

        I bet ancient Greeks would be surprised to hear that they're White (or even white). But I really can't imagine them reacting differently (or even with more confusion) to claim that they're Black. Or am I missing sth?
