[QUOTE]Originally posted by HeartofAfrica: [QB] https://owlcation.com/humanities/Greek-Influence-on-Rome [QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [qb] Lastly, I know all about Egypt's African features. It's something I've been studying for years now and have made several threads about it like [URL=http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=8;t=002604#000000]here[/URL]. Again, [b]nobody is denying that there is a shared cultural commonality between Africans including the Egyptians but what you don't realize is that you are selling the other cultures short with the theory of diffusion from Egypt. You do realize that is the same theory that white supremacist espouse--[/b] where any similarity is the result of diffusion from the superior (Caucasoid) Egyptians! You fail to realize that African peoples have mixed and mingled or at least had trade relations with one another since time immemorial so of course there are going to be fundamental similarities that don't need to be attributed to diffusion from a single source alone. By the way the reason for many similarities between the Nile Valley and West Africa is due to the Central Saharan culture of the Neolithic which was the central hub of migration and exchange between both regions. [/qb][/QUOTE]I totally agree with this mindset. We have to be very careful trying to create origin myths out of the Nile Valley, civilizations. Like it was the be-all and end-all of Africa culture or society, instead of just being a part of a much larger branch of it. A great branch for sure...but just another branch. Hence, the reason why, there is so much cross pollution that can be obviously seen and traced to so many non-Nile Valley peoples (or maybe they lived near the region at certain points in time. But never the less). Things that were traded, or heritage similarities that survived from long ago. There will always be a connection between African ethnic groups, despite their individual unique qualities. Before and after the Green Saharan dried up, it helped spawned a lot of amazing human creations, standards of living, belief, political systems, science, medicine and other vast pillars of knowledge. Intra-relations and trade/exchange was the lifeblood of African life. None of these groups were as cut off from each other as many would like to delude themselves into believing. Even before the arrival of eurasians or any other groups. And that ability to fuel society needs to happen once again, if today's Africa wants to move forward. The Saharan wasn't as big of an obstacle once Africans adapted and prepared themselves for the new challenge. Just like the Ancient Egyptians did as they created water stations and how many nomadic groups survive to this day. [/QB][/QUOTE]
