The plaque of Beachy Head Lady, previously thought to be the ‘first black Briton’ has been taken down from the East Dean cricket club after it emerged she was likely from Cyprus
Piriyanga Thirunimalan – Daily Mail Oct 25, 2023
A plaque honouring the ‘first black Briton’ has been removed after DNA analysis suggested she was not actually of African origin.
The sign celebrating the 1,800-year-old remains of ‘Beachy Head Lady’ was taken down after scientific research revealed she was ‘most likely from Cyprus’.
The plaque was placed in an east Sussex village by BBC Two as part of their 2016 Black and British series where they billed the woman as the earliest ‘black Briton’, claiming she was of African origin.
However, subsequent DNA analysis has suggested the BBC programme’s claims were wrong, the Telegraph reported.
In the BBC programme, fronted by historian Prof David Olusoga, the Beachy Head Lady was presented as being of ‘sub-Saharan African’ origin, with a reconstruction of her features. In fact a DNA analysis indicates that she originated in southern Europe, possibly Cyprus, which was once part of the eastern Roman Empire. Click to enlarge
The study, by the Crick Institute, found that while she grew up in Eastbourne, her origins were actually in ‘southern Europe – most likely Cyprus’.
The now-removed plaque read: ‘The remains of “Beachy Head Woman” were found near this site.
‘Of African origin, she lived in East Sussex 2nd –3rd century AD.’
It had been installed at the village’s East Dean cricket club, close to where archaeologists had discovered the 1,800-year-old remains of the woman.

It was one of several plaques installed as part of the BBC series to honour black Britons across history.
And why would ‘first black Briton’ merit a plaque — or anything?
People who cut and run from danger in their own countries and make themselves strangers in other countries are celebrated — why?
The disease of treason sickens and maddens all who speak of it. From hence let’s speak only of the ones who RESISTED.
Elsewhere. “All White” Arsenal women’s squad criticised:
“Arsenal say it is a “key priority” to increase diversity after criticism of an all-white women’s squad photo.
The photo, posted on Arsenal’s social media earlier this month, included 27 players and head coach Jonas Eidevall.
Fans criticised the club for having no black or ethnic minority players…”

The BBC sports page is a gift that keeps on giving wrt to woke social engineering…
How can anyone be this foolish, we know that ancient Britons built Stonehenge 5000 years ago, so why would she be the first black female Briton from 1800 years ago?
If it matters I too am a black person as a direct descendant of ancient Britons.
He’s not much of professor if he couldn’t distinguish between a Sub-Saharan and European skull…

For a reference.
But then again that’s obvious..just as obvious as the mendacity the BbC trades in via whitehall and GCHQ propagandists…and as I noted in my deleted comment…
Political Correctness uses rhetoric to substantiate what cannot be substantiated…
…. there shouldn’t be a historian alive that isn’t aware that North Africans such as Moores and Berbers 2000 years ago were actually Caucasoids (yes they had caucasoid ‘skulls’).many of them with the usual red hair.. which may still be observed in Morocco and Tunis and Libya today…
Presumably knowing this makes you racist…. which of course sums up the nonsense…
The paedos cannot wait to nog the British up, and it is done by pretending we were always nog
This is the same kind of egregious hypocrisy now being shown in the calls for a “United Ireland Referendum”.
Ethnic Indian Varadkar, bizarrely appointed as leader of Southern Ireland, said a United Ireland Referendum is not a good idea at the moment, because there is not enough talk about convincing British people in Northern Ireland “that a United Ireland would be a warm home for them”.
When is he going to call for a United India Referendum in Pakistan & Bangladesh, convincing them that “a United India would be a warm home for them”?
NB: these imbeciles need to work out that Africa is actually a continent… and there is massive genetic hehe.. diversity..(yes really) throughout it… for example the Khoisan and the Zulu are much further apart genetically than jews and turks and Englishman… in fact jews and albanians and Englishmen are very closely related…
It seems the only criteria these credentialed cretins have is if you are some shade of brown or black…and if you aren’t they will pretend your skeleton was..even though it evidently wasn’t….which quite frankly makes these imbeciles and their propaganda racist by their own definition….
Which of course is pure Political Correctness…or to be more clear.. propagandists attempting to justify absurdities for political purchase on your societies.. to mask more nefarious agendas..
and silence dissent via the usual censorship and epithets…
What about the prehistoric BLACK remains found near Cheddar Gorge ANOTHER TRY ON BY THE BBC.
When you examine the facts…is it any wonder the Saville evaded detection for so long!(apparently he visited Israel on a couple of occasions….did he actually die in Britain or did he travel to Israel.The same questions could be asked about Epstein and Maxwell (daughter currently housed in a Club Fed in the USA.
Another good reason to break up the BBC……
As mentioned there IS an objective behind this bullshit …..
to delegitimise native Britons etc etc.
It is sinister in its objectives….meantime Britain sinks further every year…..the British Secret Police MI5 ‘s workload must be increasing every year as they seek to retain the status quo.
It just HAD to be the BBC pushing this “Black British” bullshit…
DIDNT IT??? 😄😂🤣
The plan of ZOG is to completely erase the white race from the past & the future (Whiteocide).
@Saint D’Quan’Tavious Jefferson-Jackson 4th:
You and your ancestors were living in mud huts 20,000 years ago and still are. Never invented anything. Never have built anything of value; don’t hand me that BS about weez beez gyptions and sheeiiit. Your ancestors were Nubian slaves.
An ancient Briton my ass. You need to put down the fentanyl pipe.
Yes, Brits have some African genes, but not from that far.
Once, maybe, brought by the Romans and second, through the Moroccan gypsies, expelled from Spain in 1498-1499. The basic bio parameters are: the curly hair, the negative Rh and B-/+ blood type.
Main autoimmune disorders: Diabetes 1,Gout, Leukemia, Cancer of the lymphs, MS, Colon cancer + about 3 000 others (genetic and autoimmune, including Down syndrome).
About 40% of the Brits have Rh-…, many of the wealthy elites and royalties in the number.
No wonder that ‘scientists’ try to prove that Britain once upon in time was in SubSaharan Africa.
Humans are descended fom at least three separate apes, and all talk of One Human Race, and its African origins, is false. You will need to understand the effects of Neoteny
