This is great. Too bad that whites believe they built them.

^ Not they, but their North African "caucasian" cousins, or just as bad-- that blacks built them but stole the idea from their caucasian Egyptian neighbors.

Y'all may hate that I'm on this site, but I'll say it anyway. Whites on stormfront sadly believe that true Cushitic people are white and that all Hamites are and were white. They believe that the black Cushites of Ethiopia are invaders who stole the original white Cushites identity. It's so hilarious. Their is this thread that's 290 something pages long where they keep posting the same mess about ancient Egyptians being white because they have "Caucasoid" features (straight noses and thin lips).

I don't hate it, but I do think that it's a waste of your time and frankly that it rots your brains worse than watching too much TV. I mean reading too much b.s. has to have some negative effect on your mind.

^^And as to one of the better highlights from that link:
quote:The word “Ethiopian” indicates that this eunuch was a Caucasian. “Aith” means sunburned and “ops” means countenance, hence a sunburned complexion. Negroes do not have a sunburned look. It is white people who tan from sun exposure and therefore were the original Ethiopians according to archaic etymology.
LOL!

Great pictures Wally, but are the pyramids in Kush older or the ones in Egypt older. I have heard both arguments, which is correct?

I believe the Ethiopian pyramids are a little older than the ones in Egypt. I believe the Ethiopians civilizations were longer than Egypt's.

I knew that!

That is a good question. How did they come to the dates for the construction of the pyramids? Since there were so many is it appropriate to simply say "built between a few hundred years"?

Just to let some folks know the Meroitic pyramids of Sudan are not more ancient than Egypt's but much younger. However, tombs or royal burials in general are indeed much more ancient in Sudan than in Egypt.
And that the pyramid on the U.S. dollar is based on those of Meroitic Sudan and not Egypt.

I think that the pyramids of Kush are more ancient, but that they represent an older style of mud brick chapel tomb that used smaller pyramidal shapes and have not survived. Some of the oldest pyramids in Egypt are in upper Egypt and they are small (I forget the pharoah).
And these pyramidal shapes are seen often in Badarian pottery, along with ibexes and stylized cross hatch patterns, all of which are seen in later paintings in tombs representing hunting with the crosshatches being fences and the ibexes being hunted within them. Therefore, I believe these triangles also represent pyramids, which were already a part of the iconography of predynastic Egypt. The most relevant pottery style is Badarian or Naqada II.
(Unfortunately, due to the BOGUS way the pottery of the predynastic is categorized and spread between so many collections, it is hard to see them on the net showing this clearly)
It seems quite possible that these pyramids are only a small part of what was an ancient iconic pyramid shrine tradition that emerged along the Nile in the ancient past.
