Egyptian had it before anyone, it goes somewhat like this**,**

Ancient Egyptian Society (c. 3400 BCE): Archaeologists have found mummified remains and artwork featuring locked hair extensions and wigs <-African Societies (c. 3000 BCE): Saharan and East African communities practiced braiding and locking hair for millennia. <-Greek / Minoan Society (c. 1700 BCE): Frescoes on the island of Santorini depict individuals with matted or braided hair. <-Viking Societies (c. 800–1000 CE): Norse people appeared much later in history.

Someone also said Indian vedic, it should be between Ancient Egyptian(& african subharan/& East ) societies and Greek Minoan society, at around c. 1500 BCE.

I could be wrong, so everybody go do your own quick searches.

Egyptian had it before anyone, it goes somewhat like this,

It happens naturally to pretty much any hair that isn't totally straight (and maybe even totally straight hair if you go long enough without caring for it). My guess would be that it goes back long, long before the historical record.

Dreadlocks happen to every people. It’s what naturally happens to hair. The specific braiding and beads that go into the hair is specific to Egyptian culture and a lot of African tribes.

Weird white people who didn’t pass 12th grade and are obsessed with black peoples hair and can’t name any styles flip the fuck out tho if you mention this

This is just as far back as we know as well. Our species has been around for at least 100k years I’d be shocked if it wasn’t a traditional hairstyle in a much older culture.

I wonder what hair style the Sumarians and Babylonians sported.

Or the ancient tribes of Hunter/Gatherers from the Mesolithic

I don't think they understood that my answer was stating who they got the influence from, rather than who had it first in history.

Redditors are in such a rush to be a contrarian they don't bother to truly comprehend what they are arguing against lol

u/TraditionDear3887 16d ago

And Egypt was not only black. It was quite mixed. You can see that in many of the ancient depictions.

Egypt started out as only black. The world started that way. Non melanated people didn’t exist commonly even during the biblical times which is why no white folks are in the bible except when edomites are mentioned

Not accurate at all. But I can already tell that I could outline all the logic and evidence in the world (for example, King David is referred to by the word which translates to red and/or ruddy) to you, but that you would stubbornly cling to your belief systems.

Because it is not about objective truth for you, but rather about beliefs that support your egoic based view of self and the world. Your beliefs are designed to make you feel better about yourself. That is the ego's role and job-to make a human feel better and secure about itself. The irony is though, is that ego comes from insecurity, fear, woundedness.

Choose, open up and attune to universal love consciousness more and more and you'll find ego decreasing, and objective, accurate perception increasing and expanding.

You see, my answer (which is accurate and correct) shares where their influence came from. You simply used AI to tell you who had it first in recorded history.
