But that's another story.

How do you know that Northern Africa wasn't ruled by Europid people before the Vandals? What would be your opinion on the race of this man for example, who lived cirka 185 to cirka 254 Anno Domini, and who according to tradition was an "Egyptian": http://forum.stirpes.net/anthropomet...damantius.html
