Who Were the Greeks? Classicist Dr Michael Scott uncovers the strange, alien world of the ancient Greeks. He asks who were these people who gave us democracy, architecture, philosophy, language, literature and sport. Not available.
The Greeks, however, did not call these people Nubians or Kushites, as we do today; they called them Aithiopes (Ethiopians), which in Greek meant Burnt-Faced Ones.. They knew perfectly well that Nubians were black-skinned, as are the Sudanese of the same regions today. During the 1840s, the great German egyptologist, Karl Richard Lepsius (1810-1884) led an expedition to record the monuments of Egypt and Sudan for the King of Prussia.
