Bible goodness

So, I've been doing research about the Rwandan genocide and why it happened. One of the theories which provided some ideas for the massacre (which saw 800,000 people killed in 1994) is known as the 'Hamitic Hypothesis.' The Hamitic Hypothesis was coined by a English dude called John Hanning Speke.

Background wise, once the Europeans colonised Rwanda, they started to believe that the main groups in the area (the Tutsi & the Hutu) were racially different. They reckoned that the Tutsi were superior because they descended from the northern parts of the world and were responsible for bring culture to the rest of the primitive continent.

However, the part I wanted to share with you is a paragraph from the book 'We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families.' I'm not going to go to deeply into this but I loved this writer's description of the basis of the Hamitic Hypothesis...

"For his text, Speke took the the story in Genesis 9, which tells how Noah, when he was just six hundred years old and had safely skippered his ark over the flood to dry land, got drunk and passed out naked in his text."

Absolute gold. Nice to know that six hundred year olds still do the same crap as us 20-30-40-50 years old.
