I was just browsing a website about prehistoric Egypt when I came upon the following series of maps showing major archaeological sites dated to prehistoric times in Egypt. I find these interesting because they show the movement of peoples in Egypt over millennia. I thought I'd share the maps with the Egyptsearch community here.
100,000 BC
40,000 BC
19,000-10,000 BC
8,000-7,000 BC
6,500-5,000 BC
5,000-3,000 BC
Red dots are Paleolithic sites, while green dots are Neolithic sites.
Anything you find in these maps that is worthy of comment?

I wonder how the Eurocentric team is going to interpret the fact that most of the prehistoric sites in Egypt, both Paleolithic and Neolithic, are concentrated in the southern half of the country.

Even if by any chance most of the sites were in the northern part of Egypt, how would that change the fact that they still represent African culture as Egypt is STILL African! In fact, the very reason that most predynastic cultures ancestral to pharaonic culture lay in the south as far as 'Nubia' is the very reason why white racist loons are now trying to claim Nubians as cacasians and even peoples further south in Ethiopia and Somalia! Racism obviously knows no boundaries.

I wonder what the white racist loons would do if we were ever to travel back in time and photograph the ancient Egyptians themselves, therefore proving beyond doubt their blackness. They would probably feel very depressed.

Exactly, I mean the Stormfron will say the Nubians mixed with the White Egyptians then in the next breath say the Nubians were Caucasian...LMAO.
This is more proof the Egyptian culture and its people are Africans from the south!! Good work Brandon.

They dont need to go back through time, they only need to go to Egypt.

1.A downward migration of dots, red and green, as time progressed. A clear indicator of a downward movement of southern peoples. 2.Non of the neolitic sites around 6,500-5,000 BC grouped along the nile, while most paleolithic sites did. 3.Support for south to north expansion of neolithic sites, as opposed to a spread from the levant, to the south. 4.A huge drop of sites between 19.000-10.000bc and 8000-7000bc, that can be partly explained by the shorter time span of the latter, but I've read about gaps in the archealogical record immediately before the Badarians as well. 5.More sites in Nubia in all pictures, its a tie in the fifth picture (6,500-5,000 BC) 6.Earlier transition into neolithic all the way, and away from paleolitic in lower Nubia 7.Population explosion in lower Nubia in sixth pic? (5,000-3,000 BC) 8.Less sites near the 1st cataracts, corresponding with conflict and depopulation of qustul and A-group? 9.No site corresponding to Nabta Playa? The dot on the fifth picture (6,500-5,000 BC) seems too far to the left, the other dot just a bit lower and nearer to the other green dots might be Nabta, but it seems a bit too far to the right. The available maps don't seem to be too consistend about the exact location, so its hard to tell. 10.When I look at the fifth picture (6,500-5,000 BC) I can see, what researchers meant with:
quote: Archaeological discoveries reveal that these prehistoric peoples led livelihoods seemingly at a higher level of organization than their contemporaries who lived closer to the Nile Valley.
11.How many of those sites are know beyond just a dot? Like for example how Napta Playa brings about unique associations of cattle burials and large stone compositions that give it a unique identity? 12.There is a difference in the size of the dots (compare 40,000 BC to 100,000 BC), why is that?

^ Another thing I find interesting are some of the distributions in the western desert. We all know there were periods of rain and fertility in the Sahara. However, I feel that most work in the adjacent deserts take place in the western desert only. More focus should be in the eastern desert as well and the only Egyptologist I know who recently emphasized this was Toby Wilkinson. Dana Marniche has stressed a mesolithic to neolithic connection between cultures of the eastern deserts of Egypt and those of the Arabian desert just on the other side of the Red Sea and she may very well be correct.

Perhaps. Although some like Hammered are in such deep denial to the point of psychosis that if you transport them back in time and have an ancient Egyptian slap them on the faces they will still insist Egyptians are white or K-sians

Yes, or as we see on this forum with the likes of Abozo Dirk the Jerk, Nubians are "black" one minut and "caucasian" the next. LOLPosts: 26300 | From: Atlanta, Georgia, USA | Registered: Feb 2005
