[QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sunstorm2004: [b]Do you guys think that AE had links to civilizations in the Americas? I spotted a pic of a Mayan scribe & I was struck by how closely it resembled images of AE scribes... Maya weren't contemporaries of the Kemetans, but the Olmecs (& their predecessors) were... There are the Olmec pyramids, the famed Olmec heads, etc., plus the fact that there's evidence of "new world" plants being consumed in AE (e.g. coca). Some even suggest that the pyramids in China may have links to AE... What do you all think of this?...[/b][/QUOTE] Now there you go! Sounds like a topic with a potential of generating interest. Of course, AE civilization has had impact all over the world, and not just the nations with which they have colonized or traded with. This is one reason for the tug- of-war in claiming this civilization. Their innovative ways of mathematical application in building structures and other stuff can be seen today around the globe. There is a pyramid in Greece, which is hardly talked about by Greeks ( I hope I don't have to elaborate), that was no doubt influenced by the Egyptians(ref; Richard Poe, Black Spark, White Fire). I wouldn't doubt the same is true with Chinese pyramids. After all, the Egyptians did almost go that far. Remember the Cholchians, who were part of what is now Georgia. In fact there is evidence of some black people having lived in parts of China. This is no coincidence. A lot of people fail to see that the world was completely different place in the Ancient times. People tend to look at the Ancient period from modern perspective, which is a serious mistake. Let's also take monotheism: This is now a common practice in many parts of the world, including America. The origins of this can also be traced back to AE. Papyrus, is the earliest form of paper. The concept has been developed over time, to generate what we now call paper(made from pulp). There are many more AE innovations, that modern day Americans and others across the globe are definitely taking advantage of. I suggest you take a look at Wally's thread dealing with AE inventions. He provides a list of AE innovations, some of which can arguably be traced back to AE. [This message has been edited by supercar (edited 08 July 2004).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
