I noticed that many of the posters here get your information from internet sites. While this is okay there is lots of errors in internet information because sources are not always cited. Nothing should take the place of using multiple sources or reading a book to obtain information. I realize that not many libraries have this sort of information about Egypt,but you can find many sources from your University library.
Another way to obtain information is through a service called Jstor. Jstor has lists and archives of journal articles that are old.

I have read a few books but they seem to be somewhat racist. You know, the lost White Race (Ham) stuff. Gets rahter annoying, but then on the otherside you get these Black Racist who are just as bad with this Black origination of everything stuff.
I should write my own book: The African Jewish origins of Civilization.

I get my information from plenty of books Ausar! Some are very accurate and although most are written by white authors they are not racist and in fact are very adiment about the African origin of Egypt!!
My only regret is that I don't have a scanner!
Yes I also have access to Jstor as well!

Djehuti, since you have acess to Jstor would you be kind enough to help me acess some articles there?

Various people use the internet sources available, not because that is the only source available to them, but because they can directly corroborate their claims through that means, and for the potential audience to get access to such information that much faster. Not everyone has scanners, as Djehuti exemplifies. The alternative would be to just copy a given text from a book, and reference the title. Now, if the text in question is lengthy, it can be time consuming for a person to jot it down, without assistance of a scanner, or other means to get it available online.
