[QUOTE]Originally posted by ausar: [QB] [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] The problem h ere is we fin[d no traces of monumental stone being carved in Western or Central Africa around the time of the Olmecs. The First Olmecs is roughly contemporary with the 19th dyansty in ancient Egypt. Tell me why then no African crops found it's way into the new world except a bottle gourd which can float to the Americas. The earliest Americans were Melanesian types that had very much the profile of an African but was genetically different from an African. Maybe the Olmecs come from these early Melanesian types or the current native population living in the area have the same features. Show how African contact is plausible around this period? [QUOTE]Not that I am claiming with certainty that the Egyptians built the pyramids in China, but would the Chinese have associated pyramids with tombs or temples, without an outside influence [/QUOTE] Like I mentioned the pyramid shape is a unversial shape that is relativly easy to build. The Chinese pyramid look more like mounds than pyramids. [QUOTE]. AE pyramids pre-date these pyramids. Obviously due to cultural differences, their way of building pyramids is going to vary from that of Egyptians. [/QUOTE] There are pyramids in Mongolia that predate the ones on the Giza plateau. The concept and shape of the pyramid in AE had developments from the theological belief associated with the mound of creation or the rays of the sun. The first pyramids evovled from pit tombs in pre-dyanstic Egypt going to mastabas to what we see on the Giza plataeu. [QUOTE]There has indeed been archeological presence of negroid looking people in the Chinese region. Artifacts depicting these people have been recovered[/QUOTE] You mean little negrito people that are amung the first to migrate to Asia. Negrito types inhabited Southern China to Japan untill many were exterminted or driven out. [QUOTE]These people may not have been from Egypt or Nubia, but then where did they come from?[/QUOTE] They came out of Africa probabaly 40,000 years ago and either merged or where gradually replaced by Austric and Mongolid types. [QUOTE]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[/QUOTE] The shape was relativly universal. AE architecture was connected to their believes in creation myths and symbology within the myths. Can you show me a parallel within the other architecture that corresponds to AE? [QUOTE]Then comes, the pyramid presence in Greece. I don't think I need to elaborate on how that got there![/QUOTE] You can't use pyramids to prove cultural migration but perhaps you can show some borrowed concepts in other cultures. I seen the pyramids in Greece and most are very small and don't look like the type of pyramids built during the 12th dyansty. . [QUOTE]I for one, can't say that the negroid people who found their way to America came from Egypt, but I sure would like to know where they came from![/QUOTE] The possible explanation is that some might have came from the expedition of the Mali empire by Mana Musa's brother Abu Bakari II.
