[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] [b]I actually have no interest in this thread, as this subject has been discussed before. But my interest was piqued by A Simple Girl's post; "Egypt's Earliest Agricultural Settlement Unearthed - 5,200 B.C. And the subsequent mentions of Mesopotamia. This reminds me of the breathless exclamations of the Jews in Israel when they uncovered a 400,000 year old human tooth. "Modern man evolved in Israel." It seems a simple notion to me, but it seems others have problems understanding it - so I will repeat it. "The earliest FOUND, has no necessary relationship with "THE FIRST" of THE EARLIEST". That is why all available evidence must be combined, in order to have any hope of creating a reasonably accurate historical scenario. Since the conversation revolves around possible cross-cultural influences; It would probably be good to know the distances between the relevant sites. Cairo Egypt (ancient Memphis & Heliopolis) to Baghdad Iraq (ancient Sippar) 802 miles. Cairo Egypt to Ankara Turkey (ancient Hattusas) 698 miles. (Depending on urgency - humans can cover 30-50 miles a day). Average time between any of those cities - about 20 days. Point being - THERE WAS CONSTANT INTERCHANGE BETWEEN THEM - AND THE INDUS TOO! As to their level of development: Note this structure at Göbekli Tepe - 11,500 B.C. Which is a hilltop sanctuary built on the highest point of an elongated mountain ridge about 15km northeast of the town of Şanlıurfa (Urfa) in southeast Turkey. Note the finely carved pillars to support the roof. Does it seem like Hunter Gatherer Nomads would have acquired the skills to do such work? What use would Hunter Gatherer Nomads have for such a structure? Hunter Gatherer Nomads do not store food, they move to find food, how would Hunter Gatherer Nomads feed themselves while building the site?

I don't know about you, but he sure looks African to me!
