[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] If you want to pretend that the 3300 BC date attributed to Qustul is not acceptable, then you ought to apply this same reason to just about any other ancient complex, from Nagada, Uruk, Meso-America, etc, not your double standards of accepting dates for one complex and questioning those of another. You also ought to stop being a hypocrite, because you should just as well question your so-called "contemporaneous" date of the Narmer Palette equally so. If you want to pretend that the A-Group is contemporaneous to the Dynastic Egypt, then go ahead, but you won't find any reputable source on it. If you want to pretend that imagery that is more basic and cruder on the Qustul incense is the same age as the more developed versions of the early Dynastic period, then knock yourself out. If you want to pretend that there are Nagada figures wearing the White crown at a contemporaneous time as the figure on Qustul artifacts, then go ahead. If you want to pretend that the Oriental Institute thinks the Qustul incense is contemporaneous with the first Dynasty, then go ahead and stick your head in the sand: [i]he decoration of the Qustul Incense Burner, as restored. A sacrificial procession contains the [b]earliest **definite** image of a pharaoh with his crown and falcon-label[/b]. Oriental Institute Nubian Expedition.[/i] - Oriental Institute of Chicago. Source: [URL=http://oi.uchicago.edu/museum/special/nubia/]Link[/URL] If you want to pretend that the incense is dated to 3200 BC, instead of the often generally cited 3300 BC, even according to your own earlier citation above, then hallucinate away. If you feel good about manufacturing information, instead dealing with facts, then go crazy. That's what its all about. There is no "if", re: methodology, dating, etc. You have evidence on something, then bring it on. And you are annoying, because you are a very dense individual [just an observation of fact; I don't mean to be insulting] [/QB][/QUOTE]
