saga of the baMbuti and baTwa of the Nile Basin
EDIT: 24MAY2019
Sorry for the hold up y'all.
Trying to find a way to compose stuff
for this mobile device era that really
needs full pre-2010 style write up.
We know AE viewed proportionate dwarfs and
Shorties no different than any other persons.
The Shorties seem to have been nearly
venerated, some encouraged to come
into the country to fill the "Dancer of
the Netjer/u (God/s)" royal position
at pharaohs' courts.
Bes, an atropophaic/prophylactic netjer,
was beloved of the people. He also had
a terror inducing fearsome warrior aspect.
Bes has the physical appearance of Shorties
way up the White Nile where baMbuti and
baTwa live today.
Today those particular Shorties, even of
partial to predominant non-RainForester
ancestry, are hated and feared by the
majority populations of their homelands
who more or less view them like they're
"goblins", else sub-humans undeserved
of honor, dignity, courtesy, kindness, and
respect.
Apparently this is true along Great Lakes
states from DRC to taNzania where ethnic
cleansing and, according to some, even
outright genocide is their lot.
Many have absorbed the surrounding mentality
against them and have adopted a name for
themselves meaning 'capable of being civilized',
since Shorties are stigmatized as animals that
can't be domesticated less lone civilized
human beings.
How did this drastic change of status
from prestige to prejudice come about
over these last 4500 years?
All the above is what I want to develop
and expand on in this thread.
Think I bit off much more than I can chew much less swallow this time. Ima
give it a try. It'll take time, so everbod please feel free to chip in.
