[QUOTE]Originally posted by AncientGebts: [QB] Interesting... But seems they would have simply been traders. In other words, if Diodorus can be believed, Egypt 6000 years ago was desolate of food and people were basically cannibals. If the Akan, and other West Africans, were able to grow their own food and raise livestock, what would be the purpose of going where there was nothing? And once Egyptians began large-scale farming, then there would have been a reason to travel to Egypt for trade. Otherwise, they would have been better off at home in West Africa, before there was large-scale agriculture in ancient Egypt's Lower Egypt farms. So, in terms of traders, I can see that. But in terms of ruling founders, I cannot. And since they brought no ruling-class writing back with them, then that seems to keep them in the [i]traders[/i] category. But in terms of being [i]in[/i] Egypt, I can see that. I can even see cultural exchange (bringing culture to Egypt and importing culture back to West Africa), that can explain the continued culture of ancient Egypt that is being touted existing in West Africa.
