I plan on becoming a screenwriter/director one day, and I want to make a movie (though I'm not sure on which culture yet) about Ancient Africa. I have a lot of ideas floating around...Ancient Mali and Mansa Musa, The Moors, something about Ancient Ethiopia, I was even thinking about bringing to life the legend of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. Something else I'm thinking about though is Ancient Egypt. Though, I'm not sure what to do about AE. I was thinking about capturing the war between the North and the South that led to Egypt's unification. So if anyone can give me more information on this...I'd appreciate it.

". . . . . evidence from Buto suggests that this northern land was first influenced by the style of pottery found in the south, and that later the region was enveloped by southern culture. Such finding suggest that development in the North lagged behind that of Southern Egypt and supports the theory that eventually it was Southern kings who unified Egypt."
Today there is really not much to see at Buto. As elsewhere in the Delta, monumental sites have been largely ruined by water, and in fact powerful pumps must be utilized for digs in the area because the predynastic levels are below the current water table.
