[QUOTE]Originally posted by supercar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [b] Sometimes people want to play super-diffusionist much like early racist Egyptologist like Sir Grafton Smith did with his theories of ancient Egyptianc civilizing people from the British Isles down to the Americas. I feel people spend much more precious time trying to find AE in other people's culture instead of appreciating AE for who they were. I already discussed the implications I felt exploration to the Americas were not possible by AE,and I believe these explainations are sutiable for this topic. Let me suggest that the Meso-American pyramids are entirely different from the AE model. For one,most served as ceremonical temples built over caves which was never seen in AE soceity. Also the pyramid shape is relativly easy to build;therefore the explanation of Egyptians going to places like China to the Americas makes no sense. [/b][/QUOTE] Apparently from Olmec head stones, there can be doubt that Africans were present there. The question is where did these Africans come from, and how did they get there. Their presence there pre-dates Columbus "discovery" of America. [QUOTE]posted by ausur: [b]For one,most served as ceremonical temples built over caves which was never seen in AE soceity.

AE pyramids pre-date these pyramids. Obviously due to cultural differences, their way of building pyramids is going to vary from that of Egyptians. There has indeed been archeological presence of negroid looking people in the Chinese region. Artifacts depicting these people have been recovered. These people may not have been from Egypt or Nubia, but then where did they come from? While pyramids are relatively easy to build, scientists have noticed a certain precision with which the Egyptian pyramid complex had been built. In those days, coming up with a pyramid wasn't just a straight forward idea. Then comes, the pyramid presence in Greece. I don't think I need to elaborate on how that got there!
