[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by A Simple Girl: [QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: I don't know. You tell me; what is the earliest [i]accurate[/i] date on Uruk cylinder seals? I find these claims or [i]insinuations[/i] about some Uruk-origin for Dynastic Egyptian culture funny, because they are strikingly different. People who make these claims apparently know next to nothing about AE culture. [/QUOTE]What is strikingly different about the design or use of both types of cylinder seals from each culture? Do they both not have the same basic design and were used to do the same basic function? Are you implying that the Egyptians had invented the first cylinder seals? [/QUOTE]Read *carefully* what you are citing. I said Dynastic Egyptian [b]culture[/b] is strikingly different from that of the Uruk.

[IMG]http://www.ancient-egypt.co.uk/ashmolean/images/2005-mar-11%20173.jpg[/IMG] "Basalt statuette known as 'MacGregor Man', Ancient Egyptian, predynastic period, [b]c3250 BC.[/b] Said to have come from Naqada, this figure is named after the Reverend William MacGregor in whose collection it was until 1922. The makers of early Predynastic sculptures knew as yet none of the conventions of later Egyptian art. This results in the [b]curiously un-Egyptian impression[/b] their creations exert From the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford." Looks like a sculpture i would expect from Sumer. [/QUOTE]MacGregor is not making sense. Just because predynastic style statuary fetish did not survive all through the Dynastic period does not make it "curiously un-Egyptian". Even Dynastic era art conventions changed from era to era. They were not static. It rarely is anywhere else either. As for the claim about "expecting the sculpture from Sumer", provide me with the parallels, not only chronologically but visually. [/QB][/QUOTE]
