[QUOTE]Originally posted by osirion: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Supercar: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by osirion: [QUOTE]Which specific the "rest of Africa" do you know about, and about which, you can explain why they don't have a great deal of artifacts showing advance architectural understanding that is remotely similar to AE? I agree, the "absence of evidence is not proof of abscence", which is why it would be nice to know the basis of [i]your[/i] deductions. [/QUOTE]I made no deductions but merely stated the fact that in terms of architecture, glassware, writting and naturalistic art, the artifacts we have of AE society (and that of the Nile Valley societies), far excel that of other African societies in terms of technological advancement. [/QUOTE]Well then, where are the material [requested] that provide the basis of your FACTS? I see a lot of empty words, but no substance. [/qb][/QUOTE]You mean you want me to produce evidence that there is more AE artifacts of glassware, naturalistic art and architecture than any other African society outside of the Nile Valley groups? Propesterous! Why should I do that. It is rather simple for anyone who has studied African history to see that AE is rich in arhitectural and artistic atifacts, we still haven't found 80% of it. I agree that the culture of AE is absolutely African and not much different than the rest of Africa but the technology used to produce the artifacts is an entirely different issue. Perhaps the synergy of cultural trade brought about the difference? The Eurocentric model has been profoundly dealt a blow since there's little evidence of IndoEuropean genetic flow into Egypt. However, we cannot deny the potential of the impact of trade. Traveling Hebrews spreading ideas that when mixed with the indigenous African technologies produces something new and unique. Doesn't impact culture but would change the landscape of the technologies used to exhibit such culture in architecural and artistic ways. Egypt lies in the crossroads of trade between the Kushitic people and the Semitic. Trade routes have existed for thousand of years precisely through Egypt. The exchange of ideas have a way of building upon each other to produce ingenius solutions. All a bunch of armchair logic ;-) [/QB][/QUOTE]
