The more usual spelling is Akhenaten (I would hesitate to say correct, as its a translation of an ancient Egyptian name). The Aten (jtn) being the disc of the sun. He may or may not have written the Great Hymn to the Aten, which presaged at least one of the Psalms. In common with many of the nobility of the day, he slept with his sister, which union produced Tutankhamun (originally Tutankhaten).

Sorry lads - the Irish battle is done and dusted
Want to take it any further go buy a book and get someone to read if for you - or better still, go re-open one of the overlong threads where you told us about stupid Irish and brainwashed children
If I wanted race hate I'd open a BNP site
Don't you racists ever know when to lie down?
Back to the point
An insightful letter in this morning's Irish times on the 'historical value' of the Confederate statues

"Sir, - Oisin Keogh, who objects to the removal of, as he ' calls them, "symbolic monuments" of confederate leaders and generals, says history matters. If he cares that much about his¬tory, then surely he knows that the vast majority of these monuments were commissioned and financed during the 1920s - a period when the Ku Klux Klan was emerging and infiltrating local I and state government in the I US. These monuments are not symbolic in any way other than highlighting the deep-seated racism and anger over the loss of the war of Confederate sympathisers. People of any ethnic persuasion other than white have to walk past a monument to their oppressor anytime they want to go to a park, or school or any other public place where one of these statues has been erected. It would be akin to a statue of Rommel at Normandy, or Cromwell in Drogheda.
History does matter, and I would suggest that Mr Keogh read some to fully understand that while Washington and Jefferson were slave owners, and nobody is forgetting that, they at least created a declaration that stated "that all men are created equal" and a framework to free slaves. The people who marched in Charlottesville under the pretext of "statue rights" do not believe in that last statement. And if you agree with Donald Trump on this matter, then neither do you. - Yours, etc,
DAVID CONLON"

Another letter points out that the only ones with a real grievance about the removal of the statues are the pigeons

"Home rule was an attempt to make Ireland a Dominion - that was not independence."

Really Jom?

Tell that to thee Canadians, the Australians, the South Africans, the Indians, the Pakistanis, the New Zealanders.

Truth remains Jom had the Irish gone for Home rule and dominion status in 1920 then a fully independent and united Ireland would have come into existence in 1931. Instead seven eedjits in secret and entirely off their own bat opted for the path of violence the gun and solely because of that you are as far away now from an independent united Ireland as you were 103 years ago.

"Scotland and Ireland were occupied separate countries with individual cultures"

Really Jom?

Scotland most certainly was an independent country united under one ruler, one church and one legal system. Please tell us all when before the arrival of the Normans the same could ever have been said of Ireland.

As to "occupied" - what work of alternative history did you pluck that from?

IIRC Scotland and England were two separate countries in 1603 when on the death of Queen Elizabeth the First the reigning Scottish King ascended to the Throne of England - no invasion, no battles, no occupation. The two countries remained separate entities until 1707 when the two Parliaments united - no invasion, no battles, no occupation - Scotland still retained her own church and her own legal system.

Also IIRC the Normans were "invited" over to Ireland by one disgruntled Irish "King" who was in dispute with a couple of other Irish "Kings" and required outside help to hang onto his "kingdom". Unfortunately for the disgruntled one the Normans on arrival did what they did best from Ireland all the way east to Aleppo - they held onto any land they fought for, then assimilated with the local population.

"You obviously know very little Egyptology Jim."
No - course I don't Ache, I'm sure that it's a centuries old myth that the rulers of Egypt were regarded as deities running slave societies.
I visited Egypt several times, took the trip down the Nile, visited the temples, listened to the lectures, and came home and read Budge and Lane and Vercouter... and everything readable I could lay hands on, on the subject that interested me so much (as an amateur enthusiast of archaeology)
I'm sure you're going to put me straight on what I missed (when you have time, of course!!)
Your picture books don't interest me - lots of them for sale on every stall along our trip down the nile
Arthur Edward Pearse Brome Weigall was an amature Egyptologist who became a journalist for the Daily Mail
"In London during World War I Arthur Weigall became a successful set-designer for the London revue stage. An association with film began: he worked with Bannister Merwin, Jack Buchanan, and Phyllis Monkton on the film Her Heritage, and in the 1920s Lord Northcliffe appointed him film critic for the Daily Mail. Later, one of his novels was made into the film Burning Sands by the producer George Melford."
A Daily Mail journalist who includes "lots of pictures" - just where I'd go for reliable information!!
Spiritualists, enthusiasts for slavery, Empire Loyalists and supporters of 'The independent Republic of Rutland' - this thread is becoming over-run by a couple of nutters

"Jim, Ireland was not, and Scotland is not an occupied country."

"No. We agreed to Irish home rule before WW1."
Home rule was an attempt to make Ireland a Dominion - that was not independence.
That was betrayed by the British conniving with the Northern Irish loyalists in reneging on an agreed time limit
When that betrayal was discovered, even the compromise Home Rule Bill was rejected and the Home Rule Party disintegrated
We've been here Keith and you and your racist mate were thrashed roundly
"I do suggest that they should be allowed, if a majority want it."Then you are even more stupid than I took you for
No part of a country can ever possibly break off from the main body because "they want it" - utterly stupid
If that was possible, Thatcher would have declared independence for the wealthy South East when she was in power - you live in your own little la-la land.
You totally ignore the brutality and bloodshed shown towards any nation who demanded independence, including to America, who had to go to war to be free of Britain.
India, Kenya and virtually every other African nation, Cyprus, Israel.... all had to resort to force to get self determination.
I reall am not going into your stupid blind alley again - Britain was a brutal colonising power whu ruled countries by foce, bled them dry and destroyed their indigenous cultures

The minute amount that is known of Akhenaton s that he beliv himself to be a god - as did all phaeroes Pharaoh and he sysematically wiped out all traces of his rivals religions in order to replace them with his own "establishment"
He was the first Pharaoh to have statues and paintings dedicated to himself.

Actually Don, you have given an excellent example of the establishment and all its works in Akhenaton.
The man was a rebel who wanted social and political change, the first monotheist in history, a pacifist and artist, a poet and writer.

How the establishment and all their gods must have hated him, even more than the "liberals" hate the President I bet. They destroyed everything the Pharaoh cherished destroyed all the evidence erased his name.....all driven by self interest just like the political establishment of today....the Democrats scheming against their own because they feared him more than DJ...if they couldn't have their shill(Clinton)they thought that the Republicans would dump Trump after the election.

Anyway Akhenaton is now remembered as a visionary and the Egyptian establishment vanished like snow in Summer.

Unity and evolution in place of violence and strife.

"like Irish home rulers and today's Scottish Nationalists?"
A total misrepresentation of history (nothing new there)
Scotland and Ireland were occupied separate countries with individual cultures - part of a now defuncy empire
The Southern States were always a part of America
To suggest otherwise is to accept that the Southern counties of England should be allowed to secede from Britan
An utterly crass idea
Sice to see another mask fall and an arguments about the merits of slavery
"Here in Britain we believe in people's right to self determination."
At the time slavery fell in the US Britain was the richest slave-owning nation in the world - only we called it Empire
We continued to oppose "self determination" right up to World War one; long after the fall of Empire, Britain and other "democracies" still manipulate the former colonies by helping organise coups and deposing and even murdering new leaders who didn't suit
Ireland's struggle for "self determination" from the Empire led to all those leading the demand for "self determination" being secretly tried, refused legal defence and shot out of hand without recourse to appeal
The details of those kangaroo courts still remain a closely guarded secret, a century after they sent so many to their deaths.
Tell us again how Britain "believes in people's right to self determination."
What planet do you people occupy?

Lots of people owned slaves. It was a thing back then. It was a very bad thing. We fought a war because our government wanted to make it illegal, and another group of people didn't think the government should do that, so they wanted to get rid of the government.

Then some assholes in places where that insurrection was strong put up statues to commemorate the people who wanted to destroy the government and keep slavery legal.

And then we tore them down.

The primary thing you have to understand is that the Confederacy existed to overthrow the American government.

Trump likes that, as do his hate-filled followers.

Putting up monuments to traitors years after they were defeated is a big old "Fuck You" to America and those who love America. It's a big "we still think you should be slaves" to Blacks. Whatever some people think a symbol means, whatever the meaning is to the greatest number of people is what wins.

I think it's good to put the statues in a museum somewhere and talk about them. They aren't shoved in people's faces all the time, and they aren't considered to be what a town is about.

In 1778, with Jefferson's leadership, slave importation was banned in Virginia, one of the first jurisdictions worldwide to do so. Jefferson was a lifelong advocate of ending the trade and as president led the effort to criminalize the international slave trade that passed Congress and he signed in 1808, a year after the British did the same thing"

"Lincoln often expressed moral opposition to slavery in public and private.[1] Initially, he expected to bring about the eventual extinction of slavery by stopping its further expansion into any U.S. territory, and by proposing compensated emancipation (an offer Congress applied to Washington, D.C.) in his early presidency. Lincoln stood by the Republican Party's platform of 1860, which stated that slavery should not be allowed to expand into any more territories. He believed that the extension of slavery in new western lands would block "free labor on free soil", and he also wanted a peaceful, enduring end to slavery. As early as the 1850s, Lincoln was politically attacked as an abolitionist, but he did not consider himself one. "
The men who these statues stood for slavery and, as Joe pointed out, are used espectabilise colour prejudice - many were erected to honour just that
The have far more to do with the present thna they do of the past

I see the Professor is channelling Twitler now, and maintains that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson took up arms against the government of the United States in the cause of Slavery.

Its long past time these monuments to treason and slavery were removed.

If the Daughters and Sons of the Confederacy (do look up both groups) want to set up a Confederate Theme Park & put them all there so that they can persist in the fantasy of a noble "Lost Cause" and revel in the history of white supremacy, Jim Crow, lynching and all the rest, let them have at it.


"[W]e must not be asked to say that the South was right in the rebellion, or to say the North was wrong. We must not be asked to put no difference between those who fought for the Union and those who fought against it, or between loyalty and treason.

I admit that the South believed it was right, but the nature of things is not changed by belief. The Inquisition was not less a crime against humanity because it was believed right by the Holy Fathers.

[T]he sectional character of this war was merely accidental and its least significant feature. It was a war of ideas, a battle of principles and ideas which united one section and divided the other; a war between the old and new, slavery and freedom, barbarism and civilization; between a government based upon the broadest and grandest declaration of human rights the world ever heard or read, and another pretended government, based upon an open, bold and shocking denial of all rights, except the right of the strongest.

Good, wise, and generous men at the North, is power and out of power, for whose good intentions and patriotism we must all have the highest respect, doubt the wisdom of observing this memorial day, and would have us forget and forgive, strew flowers alike and lovingly, on rebel and on loyal graves. This sentiment is noble and generous, worthy of all honor as such; but it is only a sentiment after all, and must submit to its own rational limitations. There was a right side and a wrong side in the late war, which no sentiment ought to cause us to forget, and while to-day we should have malice toward none, and charity toward all, it is no part of our duty to confound right with wrong, or loyalty with treason."

    - Frederick Douglass, 30 May 1878



The Whole Address is worth reading.

Put the statues in a museum dedicated to slavery.

Would that include all George Washington statues Steve?
He had 123 slaves on his estate.
Thomas Jefferson statues would all have to be shut away in slavery museums too. He kept slaves and used at least one of them for sex because she was impregnated by him.

If you have ever heard the defensive lies by the conservative Trump apologists you know they are not there to apologize. They are there to defend and preserve the hate and heritage of the KKK and Nazi parallel groups.

Fox News is famous for interviewing the KKK over Ferguson MS and Charlottesville VA. They have legitimatized the Klan POV more than Trump. They claim the Left are the only killers and destructive demonstrators. They have repeated this theme for decades.

Half of the country is entranced by the steady news stream of hate of the villainous left.

Reasonable people do not like lies but with repetition they stop fighting against the lies. Until they too repeat them.
